"JVashiugton Irvine's Amerl .eau folk story, made .famous by Josrtfh Jefferson and puppetlfcod by (jeorgc Mitchell, will appear at tt ho Majestic Theatre on' Jnlnvuy 31,' under thci auspices of the Camden Hospital. On Tony Sard's mlnature stag.? tbe many familiar characters seem as big as life. There's Captain Hudson and1, his dwarfish crew of the phantom mIiI p. Half Moon, hapless Kip's scold ing wife, Nicholas Vedder, the fat inn keeper, Derrick Van Hummel, the learned schoolmaster, ill tie Judith, to gether with RHp? Van Winkle himself, and of eOursc~T>is famous dog, not to particularly mention the rabbit and pig and other friends of Rip. Although it is generally accepted as a' foregone conclusion that the Marion ettes will please the children, the audi ences that greet these miniature actors always contain a liberal sprinkling of sisters nnd cousins and aunts to see . i flint the children are personally con- ! ducted. |;i^ 8fx hundred strings, skillfully mani pulated by eight actors' Who speak the mparts, or rather act the roles, keep the little puppets, not more than three feet in height, moving amid the .most picturesque environment that could be imagined, for all of th# scenes, and the costumes, properties and all details are designed especially for this pro duction by Tony Sarg, who makes cartoons for jpagazlnes, funny ante dulvion movies, illustrations and the like. There are beautiful illusions includ ing the sailing of the Half Moon up the Hudson, the discovery of Hie treas ure-^ the cave, in effect the same as the magnificent Christmas pantomlnes of yore. The play is divided Info acts and scenes, all as complete as when given on the stage by human actors ~ln per son, and the interest In the story never lags from the rise of the curtain with the gossiping villlgers of New Amster dam, smoking and talking, to the final happy reunion of Rip and his home folk at ChcMtmas time. f Cure Young Turkeys. ( Xiti> l'i R?queet ) A Northern visitor gives us a recipe for kecphu? yoong turkeys from getting wick and dying in the distressing way they sometimes <lo. Some attrttniite tSieir ut-ijil.>r to their iimyItik gOntti .their feet Vet, but it is imwv pretty definitely established that the trouibie is (intestinal due to a germ which infers the poultry yard. Turkeys are healthy the first year on new ground but after that trouMe is liable to hap pen. The reckpe is: Put a te?s|>oon<ful of powdered ipecac ( which j'ou can get. a >t any drug store) in the mash for twenty turkeys oik*) a week. ThL?r 4s a preventative, but if the turkey gets siek give from one to two (imps o?, the liqtrid tincture of ipecac. One drop is enough for little turkeys which a>e -the ones most liable to the disease. Use a medicine dropper and nrjuirt a little water down the turkey's throat after the ipecac. The gentleman who recommends this treatment says that neither he or any of his friends has lost a turkey wince u?}?nr it. Death of a Child. ? - The friends and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

Iowa records the lowest Illiteracy, 1.1 i>or cen|. while I^oulslana regards the greatest, 21.00 per ecnt. In nine states less than 2 per cent of the populat'lon was illiterate while in ten states (South Carolina Included) th* per cent was ten and over.

According to the 1920-1921 . report of the State Superintendent of Education 11.250 were enrolled in tfie 428 schools during the past yenr. Thirteen counties (Aiken, Anderson, Cherokee, Colleton, Darlington, Greenville Green .wood, PicketiK, RlcWamf, Spartanburg Sumter and York) enrolled over 300 ipup41s. Spartanburg led the state with tin enrollment ocf 1.310, Anderson onme next with 033 pupils while Greenville took third place with nn enrollment of 735 pupils. Only seven counties, in the S*at<* repotted no -work. Practically 2,000 pupils were per fect l<ii attendance. In thefirst grade, there were 4,130 pupils while 3,436 of this number learned to read For instruction of those pupils the State paid $3.85 per wihlle <pupU and $1.36 per negro pupil. Some schools were in sossion throughout the entire year. During the winter the work was pushed among the mill villages nod in small (towns while the mtmmor months were largely devoted to the "Lay-toy" schools lu country districts. The teaching in the winter was principally done by day teacher* nt night while during Hie ?mn iner special teachers were employed to dovote their entire time to the work. Schools were usually 1 tauglrt in the public sehooltfv fvlthon^i some were held in ehufches and ?ome In hornet. Wherever n group of pupils and a "teacher couKl meet, there a school was formed. The figure* just given out for State and Coxinty demonstrate the /worth of the adult <wort<. The fact that 2.000 pupils did not miss a session signifies the keen desire of the adult to acquire learning. ? They came tos setfiool after a hard day'rf work through winter's cold and summer's heat and struggled good^ nnturedly over their lessons. Often a teaeher or visitor would hear them express regret that they had been depr^vo^ of education in youth tout they rejoieed in the oppor tunity now given them toy the State ami were liappy in. \ the thought that compulsory education now makes It possible, for children to grow up with educational advantages The greatest good which Is coming to the State from this work i? mot ta"toe found In the fact that many peopte arc:learning to r<--rd and write toot that the. adult pdphV are Awaking to a larger realf> atiou | of their duty to <he Comnrun' - tis rt i State.
