RECORD FOR YORK
County Had Largest Number of Adult
Pupils. Last Season.

That South Cardinals blot of illit-
eracy is being wiped out is shown by
the annual report of Miss vii Lou
Gray, supervisor of adult schools, for
the state department of education,
made public Friday, the report cover
ing the last school year and being
handed to the state superintendent Of
education this week, says Columbia
dispatch Of last Friday.
Miss Gray's report shows that. where
there were $50 schools for adults in %
counties, with 1876 students. enrolled
in 1913, there are now 381 such schools,
in A counties. with 10,447 adult pupils
enrolled, and with a more than 20 per
cent. perfect attendance record. In
these schools 524 teachers are employ
ed. Where at first the organization Of
adult schools had to be urged. today
the counties arc crying for the organi-
zation of such classes, Miss Gray's re-
port shows,
The report shows further that where
in 1900 South Cardinals percentage Of
illiteracy was $50 per cent, it is today
1871. The states position in the litter
acy column is due largely to the litter
lacy of the negro population, Miss
Gray's report shows, the negro popu-
lation outnumbering the whites by 52,-
900. Negro illiteracy today is 1913 per
cent, white only 65. However" the
report says, "it must be remembered
that economic development depends on
the. intelligence of the masses rather
than a few; therefore so long as oyer
so per cent. OF South Carolina's popu-
lation remains ignorant, so long will
her given climate and her rich
soil fail as wealth producers"
OF the 3s1 adult schools, 233 are for
whites, 158 for negro. OF the 524
teachers employed during the year, in
adult schools, 2Os were white, 215
negroes. In the adult schools last year
2,6S1 were taught to read; 302S were
taught to write. The average amount
OF money spent during the year per
pupil, for whites. was 1895, for negroes
s152. There were 1897 school days
in the sessions of the adult schools.
York county led the. state in the
number of adult pupils last session,
with 1,1S9. Spartanburg came second
with 1,O49. Horny had ia; Richland
62S; Greenville 6O7; Anderson 55s; Col
Teton 444; Oconee 413; Aiken 41O;

THANKS OF THE NATION.
President Harding Issues Annual
Proclamation.

President Harding Issues Annual
Proclamation.
Declaring; that the estate of the na-
ton presents very much to justify
nationwide and most sincere testi-
mony of gratitude for the bounty
which has been bestowed upon US"
President Harding, in the annual
Thanksgiving proclamation issued Fri
day, calls upon the American people
TO observe Thursday, November 80 "as
a day OF thanksgiving, supplication
and devotion"
The text of the proclamation in part
follows:
by the President of the United
States:
"a proclamation:
"in the beginning of our country the
custom was established by the devout
fathers of observing annually day of
thanksgiving for the ,bounties and pro-
lection which Divine Providence had
extended throughout the year. 1t has
come TO be perhaps the most charac-
teristic Of our national observances,
and as the season approaches for its
annual recurrence, it is fitting formal
ly to direct attention to this ancient
institution Of our people and to call
upon them again topunite in it's ap-
probation. ',r
The year which now approaches it's
end has been marked, in the expert
ence Of our nation, by a complexity of
trials and triumphs, of difficulties and
achievements, which we must regard
as our inevitable portion in such an
epoch as that through which all man
kind is moving. AS we survey the
experience of the passing IL months,
we shall find that our estate presents
very much to justify nationwide and
most SINCERE testimony of gratitude
for the bounty which has been bestow-
ed upon us.
Now, therefore, 1, Warren C. Hard
ing, president of the United States of
America, do designate Thursday, the
thirtieth day of November, as day
of thanksgiving, supplication and de-
votion. ! recommend that the people
gather at their family affairs and in
their houses of worship to render
thanks to God for the bounties they
have enjoyed and to petition that these
may be continued in the year before
us.
"In witness whereof, I have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington,
this second day of November, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand nine
hundred and twenty-five, and of the
independence of the United States of
America, the one hundred and forty
seventh.
Warren c. Harding"

CHAPTER III
A FLIGHT Into the Desert.

Uneasy and startled, Gale turned
his ear to the soft wind. Presently
he heard or imagined he heard, low
beats. In a moment he was certain
the sounds were the padlike steps Of
hoofs In yielding sand. The regular
tramp was not that Of grazing horses.
In the instant, made cautious and
stealthy by alarm, Gale drew Mer-
cedes deeper into the gloom Of the
Shrubbery. The sounds of hoofbeats
grew louder. Gale made out dark
moving mass against a background Of
dull gray. There was line of horses.
He could not discern whether or not
all the horses carried riders. The
murmur of n voice struck his ear
then low laugh. 1t made him tlngle,
for II sounded American. Eagerly he
listened.

'Rough house! LaGdy, since wire

piled another voice. II felt low down.

man welding it stumbled backward.
Then pandemOnium broke loose. The
din became roar. Gale heald shots
that sounded like dull spats in the
distance The Big lamp behind the
bar seemingly split, then Sputtered
and went out, leaving the room in
darkness.
Gale leaped toward The restaurant
door, which was outlined family by
the yellow light within. Right and
left lie pushed the cropping men who
joStled with him. He vaulted pool
table, sent tables and chairs flying,
and gained the door, to be the first
of a wedging mob to squeeze through.
One sweep of his arm knocked the res
tauramt lamp from its stand; and he
ran ont, leaving darkness behind him.

he had been moving with startling
velocity. lie pccrcd cautiously out
into the plaza. Under street lamp
at the far end of the path he thought
he saw two dark figures. lie ran
faster. and soon reached the street.
The uproar back in the hotel began
to diminish, or else he was getting out
of hearing. The few people he saw
close at hand were ali coming his
way, and Cnly the foremost showed
any excitement Gale walked swiftly,
pCcring ahead for two figures. Pres
emily he saw them-One tall, wearing
cape; the other slight; mantled.
Gale drew 4 sharp breath Of relief.
Th2rne and Mercedes were not far
ahead.
He began to overhaul them; and
soon, wien the last lamp Lad been

Gale jumped up m Joy, What luck
The speakers were none other than
the two cowboys whom he had accost-
ed in the Mexican hotel.
"Rold on, fellows" he called, and
strode into the road.
The horses snOrted and stamped.
Then followed swift rustling sounds
a clinking of spurs, then silence. The
figures looncd clearer in the gloom.
Gale saw five o. six horses, two with
riders, and one other, at least, carry
Ing pack. When Gale got within
fifteen feet of the group the foremost
horseman said:
81 reckon that's close enough,
stranger"
Something In the cowboys hand
gllnted darkly bright in the starlight.
You'd recognize me, If It wasn't so
dark" replied Gale, halting, II spoke
to you little while ago-in the sa-
loon back there"
"Come over an let's see you,' said
the cowboy, curtly.
Gale advanced till he was close to
the horse. The cowboy leaned over
the saddle and peered into Gales
face. Then, without word, he
sheathed the gun and held out his
hand. Gale met grip of steel that
warmed his blood The other cow
boy got off his nervous, spirited horse
and threw the bride. He, too, peered
closely into Gales face.
"My names Ladd," he said. Reckon
I'm some glad to meet you again."
Gale felt another grip as hard and
strong as the other had been. He
realized he had found friends who
belonged to a class of men whom he
had -despaired of ever knowing
