* Scantling CoinuTts With Head, *
( 'host erfleld, M. C, Jiii. !?.'{ The
negro population of Ohcaterfleld wa?*
stirred up considerably Thursday
nlglit. The Sanctified church hciv had
Jtttft dismissed the congregation ami
nearly everyone wail out of. sight when
two of t ho preacher* looked l>a<-k to
their phico of worship. To their Sur
prise they .saw a light In the building.
They hurried nnd found Joe J.ind
?ay, negro, in there. Joe clairtW ho
WOiH aslgpp and was Just coming out.
The preaeltera didn't ..believe him
though and started swinging a 6 by 4
AoantHng through the ?ir? this con
necting with Joe's head and knock
log hlin senseless until the next morn
ing. Kerosene and kindling were al
leged to be in the church when the
preachers got back. Joe has not been
able to talk about the matter yet.
Kip Van Winkle.
Tony Sink's Marionettes in Rip Y in
Winkle. "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.

less than 2 per cent of the populat'lon
was illiterate while in ten states

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

When Car Went In River.
Dillon, Jan. 23. ? A nogro? chauffer
was drowned 'and fcw<> of Dillon's voumg
business men, 11. T ? Byers and Thad
W. Hamer, narrowly etscaped the same
fate Saturday night when the automo
>l>!Je in 'which they were returning to
Dillon from Florenco went backwards
into the * Big Poo Dee river <it P?
Dee ferry. The water at this iilacc
Is about twenty feet deep.
When the car pulled up out of the
flat it seems that it striW* the ferry
man. causing him to loo*?o tohe. clmln
hold which held the flat tp the lmmk.
When about half way up the steep
embankment the driver tried to change
gears and as he did so bo lost control
of l ho car, w^tch went fmckwurds
against the flat. As* the flat was not
fastened the impact shoved it toward
midstream and the car plunged into
the water. It was wltti difficulty that
the two yotmg men cleared the car as
they were sitting on tho front seat with
the driver. At Pee Dec station they
procured another car which brought
them to Dillon. The body of the negro
was not recovered uutll lute yenterday
afternoon. The car was pulled out
yesterday.
