Columbia, Dec. 19.—A drive to abol ish illiteracy^ in South Carolina, the first g3al of which will be that every man, woman and child in the state, white and Negro, be able to write his name by the time the 1930 census is taken, ■ was launched at a meeting here today of educators, representa tives of every county and delegates from various lepslative bodies and ,,tivic organizations. Janies H. Hop^, state superintendent of education, pre sided over the gathering. The principal address was delivered by Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, founder of the moonlight schools of Kentucky, and director of the national illiteracy crusade. , The plan to haVe all persons in the state able to write by April, 1930, when the taking of the census is be gun, will depend upon the cooperation of the state department of education, educators throughout the state, the state federation of women’s clubs and other organizations. Mrs. Stewart described illiteracy as the most pitiable condition imagin able and urged her audience to bend their efforts toward the common cause of improving conditions in South Carolina. This state, she said, led in the percentage of decrease in illiter acy at the last census and she prom ised that with concentrated effort the 1930 census could show an even larg er percentage of (^lecrease.

LYDIA BOOSTERS HOLD BANQUET TSUESDAT, DBCEMBEB 2C. 1»2? sms® Casino Adds Fine Talking lectures Clintonians deserve the best and have always had the best, and they are going to have the bert in pictures, with dancing, music and talking. The talking pictures are, comparatively, a new invention. Many kinds and inno vations are on the market; some very good and some very bad. We have waited purposely for we knew that the best would finally predominate and it would be an easy matter to determine which was the best, so we have en tirely satisfied ourselves after look ing them all over that the Western Electric, which we are now installing in the Casino theatre, is the best that money can buy. It will be ready for your entertainment Dec. 30th. We are proud to announce that we will be in position to give you as good entertainment in pictures, with talk ing, singing, dancing, as you can get in New York or elsewhere. What more can you ask for? If you want thrill, enjoyment and a sure ’nuf Christmas, come to the Casino, where one can have a good time. 0. I. Sheely, Manager. One Hundred and Sixty Gueata Join In Happy Ladiea Night Celebra tion At Festal Hodi^ . | One of the most enjoyable events of the Yuletide season was the ladies night banquet held by the Booster club at Lydia Cotton mills, in the Masonic building on last Saturday night. The large room was decorated in colors appropriate for the holiday sea son with plates for 160 guests and boosters. Sprigs of holly and table' decorations added to the color schemei of red and green. As the couples entered the room they were given paper 'hats which w’ere decorated with fantastic designs and colors and. immediately created a feeling of fun and unrestrained laugh ter. To increase the evening’s pleas ure, the 6-piece string band from Ninety-Six played throughout the oc casion and their singing halstaoed musical menu to ah artist’s taste. Mrs. A. T. Wilson served the en joyable turkey dinner of three Courses with bountiful portions to each person, having all the extras that could be wished for by any gathering. The rolls of serpentine paper which were placed at each plate added much to the festive event by the accurate shots that fell upon the ones near the throwers. This created quite an en tangling mass of varied colored rib bons of paper, the noise of the rattlers and blowing of horns togther with the laughing faces, was truly a setting of Yuletide enjoyment and carefree fun. Dr. Dudley Jones asked the blessing and following the dinner. Rev. John MeSween gave an interesting talk on “The Ideal Citizen of Any Communi ty.’’ With his laugh-provoking jokes which are always excellent and appro priate, he quickly established himself in the minds and hearts of the Boost ers as a past master at the art of after dinner speakers. The club gave Mr. C. M. Bailey a handsome floor lamp, presented by Mr. B. D. Cox, head of the weaving department. Mr. Bailey’s remarks of appreciation were expressive of his feelings and he thanked the club for the gift in a sincere and interesting manner. President J. R. Cobb, presiding as toastmaster, closed the meeting after two hours of thoroughly enjoyable en tertainment.
