The State has appropriated twenty five thousand dollars for this work to be used this summer, and teachers are appealed to undertake the work. Good pay can be secured for this work by any teacher who will lend themselves to the work. Any class may be or ganized consisting of ten or more stu dents above fourteen years of age. The school must run at least four weeks, and may run not longer than 24 weeks. Teachers, trustees and others interested ilt this problem are called on to push the work. Full information on this movement can be had by addressing the Illiteracy Com mission," Columbia, S. C. or the Coun ty Spperintendent. South Carolina stands next to the last of the States in illiteracy, and unless we move bet ter the next census may put us at the bottom. I make this appeal to the teachers and trustees throughout the County to study the problem in your own community, and if a class can be or ganized to do it. Writing, reading and simple easy arithmetic will be the studies. Illiterates if ;:roperly taught can soon learn to write their names and fret a start in easy reading. Is there not something you can do? Write for information. E. J. Browne, County Supt. of Education. 0 AMERICAN POTASH All brands of American Potash which were manufactured and used during the war, as far as we now know, gave good results except Trona Potash which was made at Searles Lake, California. Reports of loss of a large acreage of crops to which TIrona Potash was applied have been madle, especially from farmers in Dar lington County. So far as I know 1:o damage has resultedl from the use of 'rrona Pot ash in Clarendon County, thought a number of farmers report a greater nercentage of cotton plants have dliedl this year. but' are und1ecidled as to wvhether the loss was <iue to the use or American Potash or wilt. I have investigated a number of cases of this kind but have found none as yet that would warrant the belief that the loss wvas due to Ton- Pot'ish. H-owv ever if any one in Clarendon County believes the loss of there cotton or to bac(-o is due to Trona Potash please communicate wvith me andl I wvill inves tigate at once. A .

On. bend the black si COF In this dlazzling fashion, coffee was servedl in the court of Louis XIV: "In gorgcous costumes, on bended knees, black slaves presented coffee'in tiny cups of egg-shell porcelain, with saucers of gold( and silver and em broidered silk napkins, to the grand dames of the period." .The charm of coffee,-who will deny its zest, its savor, i~ts gusto ? Coffee has subjugated nearly every nason, edlgedl its way aroundl the habitable globe. Simply because it most fully satisfies the complex craving for food and dIrink. An able dlietitian has said:-"Of all beverages, coffee is the least injurious. It produces contentment~ of mind, allays hunger and bodily weaj~ness, in.. ereases the incentive -andl capatcity for wvork, andl nromotes cheerfu'lness andl composure." In America, coffee as a beverage, is oafely and firmly establishedl in pub lic favor. It is now usca more exten .sively here than in any country of the world. The annual consumntioni is more than one billion pounds! It -is on the menu of the millions.

Coffee has earned this important -nlace by .the sheer might of-merit,.- -- by reason of an amazingly- pleasing appeal to the taste,-by the force of its genuine wholesome goodness. It tastes goodl. It smells good. Andi by the verdlict of the masses expresseti in daily life--it is good. Coffee is cheering, soothing, com forting, sustaining. Ask the soldier in the trench. Ask the sailor at sen. Ask the laborer in his cottage. Ask the millionaire in his mansion. Coffee is a "man'sidirnk." A sturdy hearty, flavory, savory drink. A reual chummy, clubby drink. It greets the busy man at breakfast. It meets him at the conference luncheon. it regsles him at dinner. And again at hi'clb banquet. With prohibition,-coffee will be come even more popular. We see the revival of the good old fashionedl coffee~ house, where men may meet, and ming1e in honest, manly, friendly anirt,-where they may toast each other in a "bumper" of their favorite brand of coffee.
