MAY PARTICIPATE IN FORTUNE
j. n. Leak One of the Heirs to Many
Millions.

Greenville, Oct. 18.-J. n. Leak, the
well known farmer and real estate
man of Gray Court has received in
formation to the effect that he may
soon become heir to portion of a
large estate now being settled in Eng
land, according to news received here.
Mr.. Leaks grandfather, James
Leak, immigrated to America about
rs years ago and settled in Laurens
county. Two other brothers came to
America at the same time, one settling
in North Carolina and the other in
Texas. After reaching this country
the three brothers soon lost trace Of
a fourth brother who remained IN
England. AS the years went on the
brother still in England became quite
wealthy and died, leaving an estate
valued at several millions.
Recently Mr.. Leak and other rela-
tiyes in Texas have gotten in touch
With attorneys in England who are
quite certain that they are the
rjghtful heirs Of the fortune which
was left unsettled because Of an un-
successful effort to find the descend
ants of the deceased.
Mr.. Leak has forwarded photo
graphs of his grandfather as we'll as
o,ter information which he believes
Will be of value in proving his claim
to a share of the fortune.

COUNTY TEACHERS HOLD
A PROFITABLE MEETING

The first meeting of the county teach
ers association was held in the high
school building Oh last Saturday
morning at II o'clock.
County Superintendent Barre in
troduced Dr. James P. Kinard, who
made a talk on Compulsory Educa-
ton.
TIE speaker first answered the ar
gunrents usually advanced against
compulsory education and then drew
some interesting facts from the CEN
sus report of 1910 bearing on this sub
ject.
In that year every state in the union
had some form of compulsory atten-
dance, except the following: Ala
bama. Georgia, Florida, Mississippi,
South Carolina and Texas. In 1915
the legislature Of South Carolina pass
ed an optional compulsory attendance
law.
Speaking of white illiteracy in the
various states, the speaker stated
that in South Carolina for the period
of 190O-191O the per centage of white
iIliteracy was 10 per cent. Only
Louisiana had greater per centage.
The speaker referred next to the
great awakening in education in
North Carolina and Tennessee.
In 1907 North Carolina passed a
compulsory attendance law and this
had the effect of decreasing the white
illiteracy in that state. The decrease
in North Carolina for 19O0-1910 was
43 per cent. In Tennessee for the
same period was So per cent; while
in South Carolina the decrease was
only per cent.
But there will be another story,
said the speaker, when the census. re-
port for 1920 is published.
A great deal is now being done in
South Carolina to reduce the litter
acy. A, great many night schools have
been organized and many of the
school districts have come under the
provision of the compulsory atten-
dance law.
The law was passed in February
1915, and by November of the same
year Dillon county reported that 20
districts out of 25 had accepted the
law.
At the same time Newberry report
ed s districts. There are more dis
tricts now in Newberry under the
law
But in November Last there were
1887 school districts in South Caro-
lima, and up to that time only 131
had accepted the law. This leaves
much to be done and presents a large
opportunity to- all the teachers OF
the state.
After the talk Of DR.. Kinard the
association went into an election for
officers for this year. The following
officers were elected:
President, James P. Kinard.
vice-president, J. M. Bedenbaugn-
Secretary, Miss Sudie Dennis.
Members Executive Committee:
Prof. S. J. Derrick, Mrs. W. C. Nor
ris.
The association will meet at New
berry at the high school building eT-
cry Saturday morning at IL o'clock.
