ILLITERACY FIGURES IN
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY

The State Department of Educa-
ton and The llliteracy Commission
are making vigorous efforts to re
ducc illiteracy in South Carolina dur
ing the summer.
The Department Of Education calls
Chesterfield County. According to ta-
bles compiled from statistics there
are 27G,0O0 persons over ten years of
age i'm this State VINO cannot read and
5,2S7 illterates in this county. OF
the white population nearly 20 per
cent. were illiterate, while over 43
per cent. of the negroes could not
write their names. The total white
and black illteracy IN the county was
more than 2S per cent.
In comparison with other counties
in the State Chesterfield County
ranks thirtieth in the scale of literacy
The table compiled by the State
Superintendent of Education from
the Democratic Club rolls of 1916
give startling facts. In that year
1878 men voted in the State who
signed their names TO the club rolls
with cross mark.
In Chesterfield County 1868 len
registered, more thaa 900 Of them
making their marks. When compared
with other counties Of the State Ches-
tcrlicld County RANKS thirty-ninth in
!itcracy among its voters.
The Iiliteracv Commission asks
hat each person who knows an ILL
terate teach one or more oi tbs un-
fOrtunatrs - at least write his or her
own name.
The first step toward progress is
| education. Without education there
can be no progress along any of the
lines that progress is so badly need
ed in this county. Good schools, sani-
tation, good roads and good living
conditions are opposed only these who
1 have not had the advantages of edu-
cation.

COX AND ROOSEVELT
DEMOCRATS NOMINATE OHIO
CANDIDATE ON FORTY
FOURTH BALLOT
James M. Cox, Third.Trrm Governor
of Buckeye State, Was Strong
From The Start--Franklin
Roosevelt, Assistant
Secretary of Navy
For Second
Place

After nearly week of bailoting the
Democratic Convention at San Fran
cisco swung to Governor James NJ.
Cox, and on the rorty-fourth ballot
handed him the nomination.
Franklin ID. Roosevelt OF New York,
was then made the paIty's candidate
for vice-president.
James M. Cox is one Of the tig mon
of the day. For three consecutive
terms he has been elected Governor
of his native State, Ohio, by the peo-
pie of that commonwealth. He has put
many reforms into effect in the State
that have endcared him to his people
and have attracted the attention of
the whole country.
Mr.. Cox is known as q fearless, in
dependent and progressive Democrat
He is bossed by no man or set of men.
He has been staunch supporter of
the Wilson Administration. His rec
ord is clean, clcarcut and there can be
no digging up of unpleasant past his
Ohio having disclosed all there is to
disclose. The principal fight waged on
Mr.. Cox was due to his expressed
views on the prohibition question. He
had expressed himself as favorable
to beers and light wines, but as there
is no mention in the platform of the
prohibition question. Mr.. Cnx's pre-
ference in this regard will he pure
If personal one and cannot enter into
campaign as an issue.
Franklin d. Roosevelt, assistant
secretary of the Navy, who was ac-
claimed vice-presidential candidate, is
Il native of New York state, and, al
though comparatively young man,
has an established record for clean
politics.
The nomination of Cox and Roose-
welt seems to have met with the ap-
proval of all factions & Che Demo
cratie-pa and shoulss therefore, be
assured OF election.
William Jennings Bryan seems to be
then only disappointed "hcmocrat, -"
aside from candidates so far heard
from. He expressed himself as de-
jccted with his "hcarc in the grave"
This is the first Democratic Conven-
ton in many years in which MIR. Bry-
an has had no voice.

ORGANIZING CLUB
CHESTERFIELD WILL. HAVE A
BASEBALL TEAM NEXT WEEK
Lack Of Interest On The Part OF The
Public Will Not Prevent Players
Getting Together

The cold water thrown on the plans
IF the local ball players when an at
tempt was made to organize team
recently did not rsult in the abandon
ment of the idea, as was generally
supposed.
In fact, the discovery that there
were no real supporters Of the game
in Chesterfield, except the few play
crs and those directly intcrestd in the
forming of club, only strengthened
the determination of this small cot
erie to have an organization.
Plans are now we'll under way and
practice will begin before the pres
ent week is over. A game or two will
be played next week to get line on
the merits of the players assembled
and then some real games with regu-
lar teams will be announced.
1t is rather late i'm tn season to get
players regularly, but the best that
can be done at this late day will be
in the nature of short engagements
with star players to help out in big
games. Two players rrom kerShaw
will arrive in town Friday. Thornwell
Sowc!l will be on hand for some of
the games as will First Baseman
Heath, of Charlotte. arthur Rivers
and Henry Douglass will be regular
members and Rudolph Eursey, who
has lately developed into good all
round amateur at the Citadel, will
have position in tho out,ield.
Other players are being rounded
up and games will be scheduled as
coon as the team considers itself in
shape to tackle the clubs already
playing in this vicinity.

WOULD CONTINUE RAIL
ADJUSTMENT BOARDS
Director Carter Reviews Work in
Settling Controversies Under
Federal Control.

W. S. Carter. director of the division
of labor of the railroad administra-
ton, recommends continuance after
the end of federal control of the roads
the boards of adjustment set up by
the railroad administration to decide
controversies arising under the appli-
cation of wage orders and in other
disputes between the railroads and
their employees.
The work, of these boards" Mr..
Carter says. demonstrates not only
the advisability of the creation Of
them, but the necessity of their con-
tinuance. The fact that the boards
are bipartisan and without umpire
or neutral member and all are eX-
perts on railroad agreement matters
has led both officials and employees to
have confidence not only in the fair
ness of the decision reached, but as
to the technical ability of the mem
bers Of the board to pass intelligently
on controversies"
Mr.. Carter reviewed the compare
lively small number of cases on all
the railroads in the country in which
difficulties have resulted in unauthor-
lied strikes in 1919.
Mr.. Carter believes that a vast ma
jority of these unauthorized strikes
arose out of the fact that the en-
ployes at these local points did not
fully understand that proper tri-
bunal had been created by the rail-
road admin stration to which all con-
troverses should be referred and that
equitable decisions would be reached
by such tribunals.

COMMITTEE TOGO

Water Supply Trouble at

House Investigation.

adequate water supply. the House ma =

today for the committee to leave mere

the evening of February II.
Committeeman said their inquiry
" ould not be confined to the question
OF the water supply, but that it would
extend to the reasons and wisdom OF
the expenditure of approximately

| Camp on land to which the govern

purchase. The inquiry. 1t was said.

public works officer at the Hampton

approximately $32.OQ0.O0O was spent
in development of the base and sta
tion during the war and that ii was
expected that the water supply would
be provided, with government aid.
through the cities Of Norfolk and
Portsmouth.
Norfolk. however has decided upon
the development of an independent
supply and as a result the system to
supply the base and station had not
been sufficient for the needs. the Of
ficers said. The government, it was
testified, advanced s2.400.000 to the
two cities-practically all of it to
Portsm mouth-for building the new
water supply.
Mr.. Butler Warns Officers.
Chairman Butler. apparently angered
by the failure to obtain the water
supply in cooperation with the
cities, warned the officers that unless
plans We're soon perfected for supply
of the stations that he would urge
the committee to refuse any appro-
priations for the base and station. He
added that he might confer with con-
gresSiona1 leaders, suggesting aban-
donment of the station.
Don't they want the government
down there?" asked the chairan
Since the government began opera
tions down there it has spent $780,
100000 within twenty-five miles of
Norfolk, and now we have got no
water. The country won't stand for
that"
