On the night of the second primary j election, after Ixiin? assured of her nomination for the office of county ; superintendent of education, and after j being showered with congrafulations I and best wishcB by throngs of friends ! wjio gathered to get the news of the | various contests, county and slate, Miss Kate Vikon Wofford, the first wo huui in South caropna to ?e ciiw?uu j ior th'f particular office, sine espro*.si on ci her appreciation and he.* vnnv of the recognition of women In politics In the follwino card: "it is an overwhelming 'hing for 2,971 of my neighbors to go to the polls on a particular day and soy in no uncertain terms: We need you, Kate Wofford, for a particular job dealing with a particular responsibility?the education of our children in our county schools."

The county superintendent of education-nominee is thoroughly alive to the need as it touches the rural school situation and it is believed by her friends that she will give impetus and encouragement to the system that will lead to steady and sure development, with special reference to longer terms and systematized schedules and programs. FEW SPEAK ENGLISH. Moat Porto Ricans Unable to Talk Our Tongue. Many members of congress are amazed to learn from travelers just returned from t'ne West Indies, that, although I'orto liico has been American territory for twenty-four years, virtually no one in tlie island sj>eaks English. English is being taught to children in some of the schools, it is true, but an entire generation has gone by since the American flag first was hoisted at San Juan, and the only three words that most of the natives know are: "No splk English." Travelers have related how they approached the beautifully uniformed insular guards directing traffic at the principal street corners of San Juan, nr-king the way to the governor's palace. . "No spik English," replied the guards one after the other. They replied, too, in a tone which seemed to indicate pride in the fact. Thcs? guard# are uniformed in light blue and i have tho natty, snappy appearance of (he Paris gendarmes. Shopkeepers also piofcss an entire ignorance of the English language, although as a rule shop keep-era all around the world attempt English in some form, because the built of their tourist trade cornoq from EngMshspoahing persons. The disdain of the Jlugiish language in Porto Ilico, it is said, may lend eventually to a move to impose the language upon, all American (possessions. It has been the European custom for centuries to Impose the language of the conqueror upon the conquered, but as no such relationship has existed between the United Slates and Porto Itico, it was thought that in lime frngiisn wuuiu wu; i\ iw vwij n - i respectively into the islands. Such has not been the case, however, and there is doubt now that under the prevailing tactics another generation will ilnd the , language of America spoken in this, the nearest of our insular possessions. In America's only other Insular possession of the Went Indies, English Is not only the official language, but the language of all the natives. This Is an odd revelation to visitor^ in th'se Islands, for the fact that they belonged to Denmark up to the time of their purchase by this country led to the assumption that Danish was the tongue of the islanders.

The accent of the natives is puzzling at first to Americana, but in a day or two it is easily picket! up, and there is no difficulty thereafter. 'J'he accent really Is no greater than o:;i.sts between an American living on Cape Cod and one living in southern Alabama. The Virgin islanders explain their spooking English to the fact that the cities of the island always have been ts-nding ports, and as most of their trade was with English voMS"la the language of the merchantmen grew up J to the exclusion of Danish and French. ?
