MANY NEW MEMBERS ENTER LEGISLATURE Strong Men Heretofore Strangers to Politics Arc Nominated in Several Counties (Compiled for The State by J. W.lson Gibbes.) The next general assembly of South Carolina will be overwhelmingly anti-Blease. Out of 122 members that have been elected to the house in two primaries there are 48 lawyers and 11 farmers Merchants come next with seven. There are three editor-publishers. xwo eacn salesmen, iocomouve engineers, physicians, bankers, insurance men, dentists and capitalists, while the bottlers, labor officials, lumbermen, saw millers. f?e!i engineers, real estate men, railway conductors and street railway conductors are represented by one each. Three of the farmers also deal in real estate and one of them is a Baptis: minister. Only 29 of the members who served in the house during the last two years are reelected and IT who were in the house in previous years have been returned. There will accordingly be 81 or 82 new representatives, dependent upon whether M'\ Gerald v? Richland wins in the third primary?by far the largest number of new men for a South Carolina house in many years. Third primaries will bevn&cessarv in two counties, Lee and Richland, for members of the house, while all of the 23 senators have been elected. In the senate, too, the lawyers outnumber the farmers, 19 to 16. There are three bankers, two merchants, two physicians, one wholesaler, 0:10 editor and one insurance agent. , The senate will be an experienced body, being composed of 35 old sen-, ators, six strong men coming over from the house and only five mem- i bers without serving in either branch. Under the reapportionment act of 1922 (based on the population of the counties as shown by the United States census of 1920) Bamberg and Marlboro lose one representative, while Florence and Richland gain one. Following is a list of the members o? the two houses: Abftcville county: J. Howard Moore . senator, reelected; R. H.

CAROLINA'S ILLITERACY IS SHARPLY CUT IN TEN YEARS New 18.1 Per Cent, But State Still Next to Bottom; Pickens First in Rank of Least Illiteracy Columbia, Sept. 11.?The following announcement was issued today: Tne Stars Departmem of Education. assisted by the Illiteracy cornmiss; on, has made a vigorous fiiht against, the illiteracy which exists in our state and now that :he census 'inures for UillU have been published it :.s a mutter of just pride that South Carolina leads the Union in reducing her percentage from 26.7 per cent in ll'IU to 18.1 per cent in 1^20. In rank among the states, South Carolina still maintains the 'next to bottom place, ranking below every state 7 : ! ... 1 *i. -11: A. ... S.lvc Louisiana. a:; "?v:;ue liiiicracy ihe late has climbed fro in third place from the bottom in ID 10. to sixth place :n 1920, now ranking aijove Now Mexico, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky, in negro illiteracy, the state ties with Mississippi fur third place, maintaining the same position of 1910. While this record testifies to the work which the public schools and the schools for adults have been doing, there is yet much work to be done before we can r::tik with many of our sistr-r states.' Iowa records the lowest iliitrracv.' 1.1 per cent, while Louisiana rccords the greatest. 21.9 per cent. In ni*?e: states less than 2 per cent of the population was illiterate, while in te*l slates (South Carolina included) the i per cent was 10 and over. Pickens county now registers the 1 lejst illiteracy in the state. 10.7 per, I cent. Greenville county comes see- ( ond, with 11 per cent, while Berkeley registers the highest illiteracy, 38.4 per cent, with Jasper county next . highest, 33 per cent. The data for \ Greenville county are as follows:;-' Total number illiterates. 7,179, or' 11 per cent. Number of white illit-j ] erates, 2,9S3, or 6.3 per cent. Xum-j ber of negro illiterates, 4.140. cr ^ 23.7 per cent. According to the 1020-21 report ^ of the state superintendent of edu- j cation, 1 1,230 pupils were enrolled in the 42S schools during the past year. Thirteen counties (Aiken, Anderson. Cherokee, Colleton, Dar-' ' lington, Greenville, Greenwood, Pick- S ens, Richland, Spartanburg, Sumter J? and York) enrolled over 300 pupils.) 1 Spartanburg led the state with an en- . rollment of 1,349; Anderson came < next with 933 pupils, while Green-! ville took third place with an enroll- a( ment of 7o5 pupils. Only seven coun- j ties in the state reported no work ' j 1 Practically 2.000 pupils were per-' feet in attendance. In the first grade there were 4,130 pupils, while 3,436 of this number learned to read, j For instruction of these pupils the k < state paid $3.85 per white pupil and $1.36 per negro pupil. Some schools were in session throughout the entire year. During j the winter the work \\-as pushed j among the mill villages and in small j towns, while the summer months' were largely devoted to the "Lay-bv"'* schools in country districts. The teaching in the winter was principal iy done by day teachers at night while during the summer special teachers were employed to devote' their entire time to the work. Schools were usually taught in the public schools, although some were held in churches and some in homes. Wher-' ever a group of pupils and a teacher could meet, there a school was formed. ; The figures just given for state and county demonstrate the worth of the adult work. The fact that 2,000 pupils did not miss a session signifies the keen desire of the adult to: acquire learning. They came to' scnooi alter a ftarrl clay's work through winter's cold and summer's heat and struggled good naturedly, with their lessons. Often a teacher or j visitor would hear them express gen-! uine regret that they had been de-, prived of an education in vouth but l they rejoiced in the opportunity now; given them by the state and were' happy in the thought that compul-. sory education now makes it possible for children to grow up with educa-' tional advantages. The greatest good which is coming to the state from this work is not to be found in the fact that many people are learn-; ing to read and write but that the1 adult pupils are awaking to a larger realization of their duty to the com-j munity and state. They no longer! feel that they never had a chancc and further their example of attending! school is causing many persons with little education to pull down their : books who, if left to themselves J I would have fallen into illiteracy, j The figures compiled from the re-! 'port show that Greenville county: ranks third among the counties of | the state in pushing this phase of ed-, I ucational work. There were organi ized in the county 29 schools with a' ! total enrollment of 848 pupils, taught l by 49 teachers. ' j j For the whites: No. of schools,* [24; enrollment 6S9, pupils per school ,29; average attendance, 353; perfect iattendance, 72; pupils in first grade.' 273; pupils in second, third and .fourth. 29G; pupils in fifth, sixth and j j seventh, 120; taught to read, 8(5; 1 taught to write, 47; term in days, 670. The 42 teachers doing this , worked were employed at a cost of ?45.12 per teacher or $2.75 per pupil. . For the negroes: Xo. cf schools, 5; enrollment, 159; pupils per school '32; average attendance. 101; perfect attendance, 9; pupils in first grade, 34; pupils in the second, third and fourth, 90; p-ipils in the fifth, sixth and seventh, 29; taught to read, 27; taught t;> write 41; term in days, l->4. The teachers coin;; this work were ' c:^.)loyed at a cost of *25.00 per teacher or $1.10 per pupil.
