TEN ADULT SCHOOLS
ORGANIZED in COUNTY

AS the result Of the efforts of Su-
perintendent of Education Young and
Mrs. ]. Arthur Knight, County organ
izer Of Adult Schools, ten adult or
"lay-by" schools have been organize d
with nearly 800 pupils enrolled.
Mrs. Knight and Mr.. Young visited
ten schools in their itinerary and were
usually welcomed by large and inter
ested audiences.
Mrs. Knight outlined the general
plan for the schools. She stated
in her talks that all adults over
fourteen years of age that couldn't
read and write well would be well
coined to the schools this summer as
, well as those who couldn't read or
write at all. She said that there were
1,774 white adults in the county that
couldn't read or write and she hoped
that after the campaign this summer
there wouldn't be any that couldn't
write his or her name. She stated that
last year there were 500 pupils en-
rolled in the adult schools of the
state, and that 1000 did not miss a
day. She also stated that the adult
schools were different from day
schools in that the pupils can go at
the time it suits them best. In this way
they lose but little time from their
work.
The course of study embraces read
ing, writing, letter writing, arithmetic
and spelling. The books that are to be
used in the schools are written es-
pecially for beginners. The readers
contain Bible stories and things per-
tanning to the farm. The schools will
run twenty days and in that time if
beginner will come to school every day
and do his part he will be able to fin,
ish the bible Story Reader. write his
or her name and address a simple let
ter, read and write figures to 100, do
simple addition, subtraction and null
tipiiation:
At each meeting these plans were
discussed and in almost every in
stance, helpful cooperation was prom
ised. The trustees and other citizens
expressed -asneed for suehsschoo'ssanxf
Immediately the names of pupils were
taken. At one place a man was asked
If he were going to bring his wife to
school. He replied that she knew
more than he did and he was coming
to school this summer to "catch up"
with her. Another man stated that he
had rather give hundred dollars than
to miss going to school this summer.
He was enrolled in one of the schools
of the county two years ago. At one
The Chesterfield advertiser. [volume] (Chesterfield C.H., S.C.) 1884-1978, 1922-08-10

place man and his wife and three
children were enrolled.
Discussing the work Mrs. Knight
told of the offer to send The Advertis-
er to the adult pupils this summer,
She urged that the pupils send in
things relating to their school for this
paper in order to let the other schools
and the public know what they are do
ing. She also stated that five counties
had received appropriations from the
state for this work, among which is
Chesterfield.
Mr.. Young and Mrs. Knight are
planning for big commencement or
"school breaking" to be held at Ches-
terfield at the close of the adult
schools.
Mr.. Young's address, in part fol-
lows:
"The South's peculiar troubles are
largely due to the lack of education.
Ignorance and poverty are kin, in
fact, almost blood kin. They seem as
it were to stalk the earth hand in
hand. The lack of education prevents
one thinking straight. 1t does not per-
NIT of the solving of the problems
he or she may come in contact with,
in fact the earning capacity is in
deed small when compared with the
educated.
"When we think seriously of the
conditions of Chesterfield county,
along. other lines, comparing the in
dustrial side with the prevalence of
illiteracy, we are amazed and wond-
er how either exists. Thirteen out Of
every one hundred white persons in
the county are unable to even read or
write their names. And this is not all,
there are thousands who barely es-
cape illiteracy, indeed their education
is so very meager that their ability to
reason from given facts to a correct
solution is out Of the question. What
= burden 10 placed nnon those who
have the welfare of the public to look
after. What and where can we find a
greater responsibility than that given
to those who are appointed to admin
lister the affairs of the government of
Fceanty, state a,fd--nation? The State
of South Carolina is now undertak-
ing the responsibility of eliminating or
lessening the number of illiterates of
Chesterfield County by making an in
tensive campaign through the organ-
cation Of adult schools where it is
possible.
So let us admonish each illiterate
or near illiterate to enroll in one Of
these schools, let us learn to at least
write our names."

WORK BEGUN ON "HoPE WELL

After drilling over 500 feet the
deep well for Chesterfeld's water
supply was abandoned and a new one
has been begun. The new one is be-
ing drilled on Green street and is on
a ridge from which the ground slopes
in every direction. This site meets
with the complete approval of the
well drillers, who say there is a good
reason to hope for water at 800 feet
or less.
This new we'll has been christened
"Hope" and will probably be known
in the future as "Hope-Well"
The location was presented to the
town free of charge, by the Mayor,
c. l.. Hunley. If the well is success
full the property remains in the Gus
tody of the town, but if it should
prove a failure the land returns to the
original owner. Judge M. j. Houen
haG also offered a lot free Of charge
to the town near his home ard on a
ridge.
The contract for the new well is
identical with the old one, though the
price of coal which is used by the
drill engine, has advanced from $1.5O
per ton to $3.50.
The abandoned well has a supply
of twelve gallons per minute, which
will be used to supply the engine at
the power plant.

PAIGE CAR STOLEN
AND RECOVERED

The handsome seven-passenger
Paige automobile owned by Mrs. w.
H. Porter was stolen in Cheraw last
Friday night and was recovered Sun
day in Raleigh, N. C.
The car had been borrowed by Mr..
Jacob Greenberg, manager of the New
Store who took party of young peo-
pie to see moving picture. While
the party was in the theatre the car
was taken, between ten and eleven
o'clock.
The alarm was quickly given and
Chief Jacobs of Cheraw and Sheriff
Grant, of Chesterfield, sent telegrams
and phone calls in every direction.
Nothing was heard from these mes
sage suntil late Sunday afternoon,
when word came from Raleigh that
such car was in a garage there with
broken axle.
1t seems that trouble developed in
rear axle as the thief neared Raj
eigh, resulting in a bad break. The
driver had the car towed in and at
tempted to sell it for 500, but soon
took fright and left. A Nash car dis
appeared about this time and it is
believed that the thief of the Paige
car took the Nash to continue his
journey.
Mr.. Greenberg, accompanied by Mr.
Peoples went Immediately on receipt
of this information to Raleigh.
Mr.. Greenberg had offered a re-
ward OF fifty dollars for the recovery
of the car. This amount he paid to
the Chief of Police of Raleigh and
claimed the car. They were unable to
bring it back with them on account
of the repairs which would take some
time.

COOPERATIVE PLAN
FOR TOBACCO SALES

Florence, Aug. CLOSE to 2,OOO,-
| 600 pounds of tobacco was handled
by the 40 receiving points of the To-
bacco Growers Cooperative associa-
ton in the South Carolina belt today
and from every cooperative market
| come reports of successful coopera-
tion and satisfaction on the part of
the member growers.
Never was there a more orderly
opening Of tobacco warehouses than
| took place today on the warehouse
floors of the growers association
throughout South Carolina. With the
precision of clockwork the machinery
of the big cooperative plan moved in
to action without hitch, and orderly
marketing was attained at the first
days trial.
In contrast to the shouts of buyers,
the trampling of tobacco, the shifting
of piles and the hurried inspection of
the growers product, a golden stream
moved continuously today from wag-
ons to graders, from graders to
weighers and on to the ever accumu-
lating piles of the weed in the stor-
age rooms of the association
Posted conspicuously in every
warehouse were the advance pay
ments to be made for each grade and
as the tobacco passed by the weigher's
windows it paid tribute to the grow
ers in the form of checks and parti-
cipation receipts which were made out
according to the weight and grade
OF tobacco for each grower member.
The careful and thorough grading
of each pile as it passed through the
hands of experienced graders in every
market was the feature that especial
ly pleased the growers and the uni
formity of grades and prices on va
rious markets were notable.
Richard r. Patterson, manager of
the leaf department, T. C. Watkins,
manager of warehouses for the asso-
citation, A. r. Breedlove and C. B.
Cheatham of the leaf department and
other officials of the Tobacco Grow
ers' Cooperative association visited
the cooperative warehouses in Lake

JABUS KENNETH PARKER

Little Jabus Kenneth Parker, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. X. Parker, born
September 20, 1921 died August 6,
1922.
Just as the afternoon was drawing
to darkness the little child passed into
light. Sick almost three weeks with in
tense suffering without a murmur.
He was bright little fellow to his
age trying to retain all that was given
him, but to no avail, had to give.
The many friends of the parents
and only son, Jady, sympathize with
them in their bereavement.
A precious one from us has gone,
voice we loved is stilled. A place is
vacant in the home which never can
is filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given;
And though the body moulders here
The soul is safe in heaven.

ington and Olanta, personally assist
ed the graders in their work. Com.
plete satisfaction was expressed by
the great majority of the growers
who were greatly impressed by the or.
derly system of marketing and the
first cash advances paid today.
The first advances on all grades
were welcome surprise to most of
the growers and ranged from $15.75
to $l.20.
Many growers stated that they had
received more on their first advance
from the cooperative fplan than last
years average for their entire crop.
