Report Showing Percentage of
IIliteracy in Edgefield County.
Editor Edgefeld Advertiser:

Editor Edgefeld Advertiser:
At the request of the State Su-
perintendent of Education l have
| made an investigation of illiteracy
among the Democratic voters Of
| our county. This work was done
through the history department of
our high school-each student be-
ing assigned a part of the work.
am handing you the result of our
investigation for publication if you
wish it. An examination of this
report, in my opinion, is to great
extent encouraging. You will note
that there are fewer young voters
making their marks than old ones.
Yet when we consider the fact that
there are 90 voters between the ages
of 2l and 80 who cannot write their
names, it is enough TO make us
think seriously. 1t seems strange,
with the general enlightenment of
our county and our schools all over
the county, that any young man
should fail to learn how to write his
name.
T. J. Lyon, Supt.
The following is the report:
mo. of enrolled voters from 81
to 80 436.
These making their mark on
rolls 90.

THANKSGIVING DAY

For all true words that have been
spoken,
For all brave deeds that have been
done,
For every loaf in kindness broken,
For every race in valor run,
For martyr lips which have not failed
To give God praise and smile to
rest,
For knightly souls which have not
qualled
At stubborn strife or lonesome
quest;
Lord, unto whom we stand in thrall,
We give Thee thanks for all, for
all.
For each fair field where fading
stubble
Hath followed wealth of waving
grain:
For every passing wind of trouble
Which bends Thy grass and lifts
again;
For gold in mine that men must
seek,
For work which bows the sullen
knee;
For strength, swift sent to aid the
weak,
For love by which We climb to
Thee;
Thy freemen. Lord, yet each Thy
thrall,
We give Thee praise for all, for
all.

This Woman Profited
By Others Experience.
Had Faith in What She Read
and Was Enabled to Win
Contest.
HAD TRIED TEN YEARS. 1T
SURE is WONDERFUL"
DECLARED MRS. MUIR
PLY, OF COLUMBIA,
DURING INTER-
VIEW

"Tanlac did me more good than
all the other medicine took during
the ten years ] was in such bad
health, aud I took only four bot
tles," declared Mrs. Clara Murphy,
of 1911 Whaley ST., Columbia, in
statement she recently gave in en-
dorsement of Tanlac.
Il suffered from indigestion in a
very bad chronic FORM" she con-
tinued. After meals I felt as if
there were Goals of fire in my stom-
ach and throat. Often / would have
bad spells of this trouble. Head
aches made me miserable all the
time, and my nerves were in such
bad shape that I could not rest day
or night.
"Shortness of breath, which 1
had awfully bad, troubled me all
the time, and it was very uncom-
Portable. / also was bothered
great deal with sleeplessness. I had
been this way for about ten years
and had taken almost every medi-
cine I heard Of and had been under
treatment of lot of doctors, but |
did not seem to improve bit.
"We began reading the Tanlac
advertisements and finally I began
taking it. 1t sure is a wonderful
medicine, too, Tanlac is, for it sure
did give me great relief. 1t CON-
pletely broke up my Indigestion and
l have not been troubled with my
stomach since the first half of my
first bottle of Tanlac was taken.
My appetite is good now-I just
cannot get enough to eat it seems.
My nerves do not trouble me now
and I do not have headaches any
more.
"That shortness of breath was
quickly relieved and the Tanlac
built up my stomach, nerves and my
system generally in a really wonder
full way. I gained nine pounds be-
fore the third bottle was gone, and
l have not weighed since. The
Tanlac did me more good than all
the medicines I have taken in ten
years, and I took only four bottles
of Tanlac.
II sleep we'll now and I feel like
new person. I am glad to recon-
mend Tanlac, too, whenever I have
a chance. 1t sure is a wonderful
medicine and it made a new person
of me. l have done all l can to get
all the sickly people near here to
take Tanlac, and number of them
were also greatly aided by it,

The Palmetto Tree.

The Pine may rise majestic,
Flame-bright the maple be,
But praise the lone palmetto
That grows beside the sea.
Its green fans, nodding plume-liks
In every passing gale;
1t stands an ancient warrior
All in coat of mail.
Beside the dark ming water,
Bowed by the angry blast,
Yet rising calm and stately when
The hour of storm is past.
No blighting worm can fasten on
; To eat it's heart away;
And I will anchor by 1t, as
The ships upon the bay.
The oak may stand imperial,
And sweet the myrtle be,
Yet I praise the lone palmetto
That grows beside the sea.
Then wave upon our banners
And when our march is stayed,
The brave heart and the true heart
Shall camp beneath the shade!

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF PLANTS

To make ferns grow better place some thin pieces of raw beef close to the inside of the pot, between the pot and the soil. Save your leftover cof- fee and dilute wnth with cold water Use this to water your ferns and it will act as a fertilizer,
 If an asparagus fern turns yellow, repot it,giving it a strong loam en- riched with one-fifth very old andfine- ly crumbled manure and add little coarse sand. Give the fern an hour or two of sunlight each day. Water when it looks dry. but do not let it stand in any water that may have run through into the saucer.
 To destroy aphis, shower foliage of strong tobacco tea, or if the plant be small enough, immerse it in this tea Insects in the earth of a potted plant may be destroyed by pouring over the soil glass of water in which pinch of mustard has been stirred.

WITH OUR LANGUAGE

An Italian who speaks correct Eng fish was asked which language his children learned to write more readily Italian or English.
 Italian" said he Your English words don't sound the way they look. '
 To show what this poor man had in mind his questioner will quote some suggestions given to him by one of the most famous scholars, philosoph- CTS and professional men in America. They show what a curlicue language English is:
 If daughter equals dawter and slaughter equals slawter, why does not laughter equal lawter?
 Put it vice versa, and if laughter is lafter, why is not daughter dafter and slaughter slafter?
 Enough is enuff, but cough is not cuff However, if cough is cawf. shouldn't enough be enawf?
 Plough is pronounced blow and bough is bow, but cough is not COW.
 Moreover, a little Italian knowing that cough is pronounced coff, is liable to spell the cup of morning beverage coughphee.

First Concrete Water

Not Norway but the United States should have the credit for having built and operated the first stone. or con crete ship, according to an announce ment made by the Bureau of Naviga- ton of the Department of Commerce. The announcement refers to a dis patch from Norway saying the worlds first concrete ship has been launched there.
 The Department of Commerce de clares two scows were built of con crete at Fairfield, Md. in 1912 and 1918.
 These vessels" says the depart ment measure approximately 112 it, in length and 2S 1t. in beam. and it is believed they are the first vessels ever built of concrete.

WOULD JAIL FOR TAKING DRINK,

Arizona, climatically and prohibi- tionally speaking. is said to be the 'dryest" state in the union. In addi- ticn to their efforts to prevent the shipment of liquor into Arizona, the prohibitionists are trying to put a bill through the legislature making it an Imprisonment offense to drink liquor
 The result ofthe dry" law adopted hy Arizona in 1914. is told in this story from Tombstone, Ariz, to the Douglas, Ariz.. Daily International:
 The county jail at the present time contains more prisoners than it has for number of years. There are fifty-two now on the register at that institution. Of that number eighteen are serving time sentences of from % to 50 days. five or violation of the prohibition amendment, two for simple assault, and one for gambling; eight for petty larceny; one for carry ing a deadly weapon, and one alleged insane. Of these held to await the action of the superior court there are three for highway robbery: three for burglary; two for statutory rape; sixteen forv iolation of the prohibi. tion amendment; two for resisting an officer; one for grand larceny; one for an assault with a deadly weapon and one for passing a bogus check
 The other five are held under charg- es of murder.
