ILLITERACY IN WILLIAMSBURG

There are in South Carolina 276,-
600 persons over 10 years of age who
cannot read and write. The 1910 CEN
sus figures report S,45S illiterates
while the negro population showed
454. The total per cent Of iliteracy
was 32.9 per cent. When compared
with the other counties Of the State,
Williamsburg ranks 37th in the scale
Of literacy.
The table compiled by the State
Superintendent of Education from the
Democratic club rolls Of 1916
gives some startling facts. In that
year 1873 men voted in the State
who signed their names to the club

FORTY-FOURTH BALLOT
Continued from Page u
McAdoo received 440, a gain of forty
four and half.

McAdoo received 440, gain of forty
four and half.
The Pennsylvania delegation was
polled on the fortieth ballot and went
strong for McAdoo. However, it
seemed as though one man was acting
as proxy for most OF the delegation,
as the same voice seemed to answer
to each name. At the beginning of
the poll man in back of the press
stand answered "McAdoo' to each
name and was at last elected from
the auditorium on the order of the
Chairman. 1t afterward proved that
he was a delegate-at-large from
Pennsylvania.
During the forty-first ballot Vir-
ginia went back to Glass with twenty
four votes to the disappointment Of
every one. The Virginia delegation
had been saying "twenty-four" for
Senator Glass, with motonous regu-
larity for the last couple of days, but
were finally weaned away. Now they
are back where they started.
A motion to adjourn till 8 o'clock
in the morning was made by a dele
gate from Oklahoma. The Cox adher-
ents seemed confident Of decisive
vote in few ballots and were against
any adjournment. On the motion to
adjourn the nays had 81 and the
ayes 406. The crowd wanted to get
through. However, the slow and
boring process began again and every
one settled hack and tried to be as
comfortable as possible, with the ex-
ceptoin of few scattered groups Of
delegates throughout the auditorium
holding last minute conferences.
By this time, however, people were
beginning to realize that nothing was
likely to happen and the galleries
were rapidly thinning, The forty
first ballot still. showed Cox in the
lead with 4971A, a lead of 371a.
On the forty-second ballot Georgia,
which had been steadily for Palmer
and McAdoo, swung to Cox with its
twenty-eight votes. Kansas stood
solid for McA.doo, but got no applause.
The crowd was already crowding on
the Cox band wagon, seeing that Cox
was only four short of a majority.

Another Corporation Tax Report Due

D. C. Hayward, Collector Of Inter
nal Revenue stated yesterday that he
desired to call attention of all corpor-
,etions, associations, joint stock COM
panies and insurance companies to the
fact that the Revenue laws require the
filing of a capital stock tax report
with his office during the month of
July, 1920.
The tax in question is imposed for
the privilege of doing business for the
government fiscal year and the re-
port due to be filed during the pres
ent month covers the period ending
June 30th, 1921.
Collector Hayward said that the ex-
perience Of his office was that a great
many corporations were delinquent
in filing this report each year for the
reason that they thought they were
not liable for tax on account Of not
being engaged in active business, and
he wishes to state that the regula-
tions require every corporation, ex-
listing under the laws of the State to
file report, or submit conclusive evi-
denc that is is not liable. Determi-
nation Of tax liability rests entirely
with the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue.
The Capital Stock Tax Division OF
the Internal Revenue Bureau is busily
engaged in preparation for handling
the reports for the present taxable
period, and blank forme were mailed
Tuesday, July 9Th. 1920. Every tax
payer who does not receive blank
form within a reasonable time after
that date should request the Collec-
tors office to furnish one.

FIGHTING THE SCHOOLS

A gentleman, who is member OF
the board of trustees in one OF the
school districts, came to US on the
street recently and requested some in
formation on the holding of an elec-
ton for the levying of additional mills
for school purposes. We were glad
to give the information SO far as our
knowledge of the law governing such
matters would permit. This trustee
told us that he and others in his dis
trict wanted to hold an election, but
that there were "a lot of old bachelors"
in his district who were bitterly op-
posed to an additional school tax levy,
and that they were fighting every ef-
fort to win such measure at an cleo
ton by advising freeholders, tenants
with children on their places, that the
district did not need more money;
that one teacher was enough for the
school; that one hundred dollars a
month for a teacher was too much;
that there was no need Of a seven
months term; and such poppy-rot as
could only eminate from diseased
mind and defective heart.
We don't know a single, solitary
one of this hide-bound tribe Of tight
wads, who revels in single blessed
ness, and would see his tenants or his
neighbors, children grow up in utter
ignorance in order to save a few
measly dollars from an increase in
the community school levy. We would
like to know all such men who call
themselves citizens Of South Carolina
and especially Of Williamsburg Com-
ty, SO that we could get up an album
containing their names and biography
for presentation to the State Depart
ment of Education, to be laid away In
its archives for the scorn and ridi-
cule of future generations.
We are told that few years back
the school levy in this particular dis
trict was ample, and from personal
knowledge of the schools past record,
it was making fine progress, but the m
creased salary for teachers put such
q crimp in its exehequer that in order
to rum a seven months term, the trus-
tees could employ only one teacher,
and they, with a few of the patrons,
had to put their hands in their pock-
cts for money to meet the deficiency
after the amount of the levy was ex-
hausted.
Is it any wonder that this county
has more than her share of young
women and young men woh cannot
read or write? And what Of the cit-
zen, or the prosperous bachelor who
would put an obstacle in their way of
at least gaining public school educa-
ton? No man, rich, poor, bachelor,
widower or man, of family can spend
q dollar to better advantage than put
ting it in the education of the chill
dren in his community.

A PRETTY FROCK FOR THE

The white frocks which young
girls wear on such important occa-
sions as graduation day are usu-
ally made to answer for much
potential wear as parties or
summer Sundays. Crepe de chine,
yGeorgette crepe or fine French
wolfe are suitable fabrics for
the attractive model I have de-
signed here 1t exploits an effective
use of hand embroidery and features
the introduction of side plaits in an
individual way. The bodice is cut
kimono fashion, with the embroidery
outlining the wide, round neck and
the sleeves, also marking the center
front with more elaborate pattern.
Side plaits about three-quarters of
an inch deep complete the lower por-
ton of the bodice, which blouses
over the straight, slightly fitted
girdle. The skirt is elaborated with
the plaits, which are laid on each
hip and drop longer where they
start than they do in the middle. This
section of the skirt is attached to
plain foundation, in a seam. though
it gives the effect of being in ono
with it. Small pearl buttons close
the frocl up the back.
This dainty model is a practical
one, that if made of China silk or
crepe de chine could be easily laun-
dered, with no visible effects of the

Old Window Shades Can
Be Renovated and Used

Many house furnishing stores will
tell you that Holland shades are off
the market. That is not quite true,
but it is a fact that linen shades
are scarce; many stores have no
stocks Of them at all, and when OBJ
ia liable they are very high in
price.
This causes a housewife to hest
tate about throwing away old shades
that have become wrinkled, faded
and thin with the idea of replacing
with new curtains. Generally the
trouble with the old shades is that
the filler has dropped out Of the

Why Fever Makes Hair Fall
French Doctor EXPLAINS

DR.. r. Sabouraud, a Paris physi-
clan, remarks that it has been his
experience that a diffuse, general
and sudden falling Of the hair can
be traced to some febriIe state from
sixty to eighty-five days before, in
which the temperature passed 1915
Cent, (103 Fahr.). The falling of the
hair seems to be proportional to the
height and duration Of the fever. The
hairs keep dropping out for from
four to six weeks, but they do not
all fall, and they grow again in a
few weeks. The longer hairs drop
out first. These rules apply without
exception, he says, to all cases.
The physician can confidently re-
assure the woman that she will not
become entirely bald, and that her
hair will grow again, and this very
soon, says DR.. Sabouraud. She can
nave a switch made of the hairs
that have. dropped out. but there is
no necessity for wig, as the hair
will soon grow again.
., Dr. Sabouraud protests against
the practice of cutting the hair to
aid in it's regeneration There IS
no logical basis for this, as he ex-
plains; grass grows better when it
is cut, but this cuts the head of the
grass, while the head of the hair is
in its follicle. If frequent cutting
made hair grow better, men would
have better hair than women. He
reiterates that women never grow
paid like men, and that the diff
ference between the mentality of
men and women, as it has developed
through the centuries, is shown
more strikingly than anywhere else
IN the way. they regard the falling
of their hair.
