A NEW MONEY CROP.

The potato bids fair to soon be
come an important money crop for
The South. Modern warehouses en-
able the farmers to keep their po-
tatoes;in prime condition long after
they have been taken from the
groundI while the cooperative mar
keting' associations assure stable
markets at fair prices. !.
Sweet potatoes are grown to a
limited extent only in the North and
West and East, and even where it is
grown the quality is inferior.5 The
sweet potato reaches perfection only
in the South, and people of other
sections Of the country as a rule
know little or nothing about it.
That sweet potatoes grow IN popu-
larity wherever they are introduced
has been proven time and again. The
supply never exceeds the demand.
All that is needed TO make the
sweet potato one of the principal
crops of the South is a campaign of
education, so to speak, in order to
acquaint the people of other parts Of
the country with its many merits as
an article Of food, and then the es-
tablishmcnt of an adequate system of
marketing and distributing as is now
contemplated for this community
through the activities Of the local
commercial organization.
: These things can be done, and
they will be done. Southern farm
ers are beginning to realize their
possibilities.
They can do with their sweet po-
tatocS Just what the people Of Cali
iornm have done With their oranges
ana lemons, and what the people of
Oregon have done with their apples.
AND they arc not going to be long
about it, either.

NR. LEOPARD WILL. NOT OFFER
FOR SENATE.

Mr. Editor: have received many
letters from all over the state and
from many friends in the good old
county of Pickcn.s asking me to be-
come a candidate for the unnxpircd
term of the late Senator Frank f..
Alexander. Now want to say To
my good old friends Of pickcns and
all over the state that feel ever so
grateful TO you for the confidence
you have IN me, but | do not thjnl,
1t would be right. In the frs.
place feel that J could do more
good for my people in the house
than could at the present time in
the senate, as | would be a new man
III the senate and would have but
little influence at first with new
body Of men. And that is not all
1T would not be right for me to bur
den my people to hold an election
to fill my place in the house. This
would be an uncalled for burden
So feel that it is my duty to worl
where the good people of Picken:
county have placed me. Of cours,
it would be an honor to be member
of the senate, and / appreciate thu
loyal offers Of support, but at pres
ent ! had rather remain in the house
because / can be of more service
there. l have not forgotten tn,
large vote that the people gave m,
in 1920. consider that grca
honor.
Let me say again that appreci
ate the honors the people have be,
slowed upon me and I do not care
to burden them with special clcc
ton to fill my vacancy which ,woulc
be caused by my resignation to rur
for the senate.
! will not be candidate for the
senate at the present time anyway
Thanking you for past favors ant
honors, ! beg to remain,
Your servant,

ooLENoY HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The first month of the work of the
Oolenoy high school, under the lead
ership Of Prof. A. B. Fortncr, has
:. been most satisfactory. The results;
obtained have been far above what
the most optimistic expected. In
other words Oolenoy's trustees and
patrons have no hesitancy in saying
that they have the advantage over
all other schools of the county in
this respect.
The one year normal course which
has been added this year has attract
ed much attention. 1t is being taken
by number of very promising stu
dents. The slogan of pupils taking
this course is to satisfy the board of
education for first grade teachers
certificate. They say, Watch us
next May"
While practically no advertise
ment Of the school has been put out,
THE class of work that is being done
has attracted considerable attention.
AS result we have pupils who were
last year students at Six Mile, Eas-
ley graded, Grove and Central high
school Of Greenville, respectively.
The Oolenoy high school literary
was organized the second week of
school. The active members are
pupils from the high and grammar
school departments. This part of the
school work is, with each meeting.

hcial. 1t is looked forward-to

The trustees of the school have re-
Gently furnished the school with
teachers desks. This adds much to
the comfort Of the teachers and
gives to the school room a more pre-
scnting appearance.
The Evelyn Dew Memorial has
been formed. Some sixty odd vol
umes constitute the first list. Money
has been raised to make addition to
this number at once. 1t will be re-
membarcd that Miss Dew was a for
mcr teacher here and that she died

PICKENs COUNTY MOVING FOR.
WARD.

The 1920 census report is indeet
very gratifying to the people o:
Plckens county. 1t shows tha
Flckens is the whtcst county in tn,
state. We have fewer negroes thar
any other county, while those I'VE d,
nave are not all illteratcs by larg,
majority.
The report also shows thai
counting both races Pickens has o
smaller number of illiterates than
any county in South Carolina. Our
percentage is 1O.7. This means out
of every 100 persons only 10 can
not read and write Greenville
county ranks next, while Oconee and
Anderson are close followers.
Pickens county is proud of the
TACT that she stands at the head of
the list. # has been only d few
years ago that there were some news
paper articles to the effect that Pick
ems was at the bottom. This goes to
disprove' that fact. If we ever were
on the bottom we are not now.
Many things have contributed to
bring about this change. Briefly
mentioning few we find that good
roads has had significant part in
the change. Good roads comb,n ed
with the automobile has probably
been the greatest factors at work to
bring this about. When people have
good means of transportation it car

consequently broadening their vis-
ION and opening up new fields of
thought and cndcavor.
Another thing that has helped de-
crease our illitcracy is the MOVING
picture show. People have become
interested in the theatre. and to at-
tend one is to read a great deal
ms has brought about study on the
part Of illitcratcs who attend.
Probably the greatest thing which
has helped in this struggle to rid the
state of illteracy was the World
War Numbers of our bows who
went into the service of the U. S.
LETT home unable to read and write

of iIliteracy,

OF vital Importance in bringing about
