The Orangeburg Times and Democrat was the only daily newspaper reaching The Herald's exchange table/ Tuesday morning that carried the news of the nomination of Gov ernor Cox by the Democratic convention in San Francisco. The Columbia and Charleston papers contained news up to and including the thirtyeighth ballot, while the Augusta Chronicle included the forty-first ballot. The Times and Democrat had news of all the ballots, fortyfour. This is a scoop our neighboring daily is doubtless of. ? STAMP OUT ILLITERACY. The Herald is devoting considerable of its space this week to the very important subject of illiteracy in South Carolina. The present week has been designated by the South Carolina Illiteracy commission as "write-your-name-week," and it is hoped that during this week thousands of South Carolinians will be taught to at least write their names, instead of having to make their ' marks. South Carolina holds quite a distinction in the matter of illiteracy. . She is at the top of the list in literacy?provided you turn the sheet upside down. The state stands the highest in percentage of illiteracy and, therefore, lowest in literacy, in the United States. The statisticians say hat the state is even below Porta . Rico in illiteracy percentage. During this week every person in South Carolina who can possibly do sf> is asked to teach some illiterate) person to write his or her name. There are in South Carolina thousands of white voters who cannot sign their owrn names. This is a condition that ought to command the immediate attention of all lovers of Carolina. JAMES M; COX, OF OHIO. The Democratic nominee at San Francisco, Governor James M. Cox, of Ohio, was not the personal preference of this writer, although we very readily concede his strong personality, and do not doubt the wisdom of the Democrats in nominating him. The principal objection to Governor Cox on the part of many southern Democrats was that the liquor interests centered on him. This appears to have been thrust upon the nominee, however, as we understand that Governor Cox is personally, a prohibitionist. None of the leading candies*?. dates, with the exception of Governor Edwards, was an outspoken opponent of prohibition. Inasmuch as it was seen at first that a liquor candidate could not be nominated, they centered upon Governor Cox. Contrary to the Republican nominee, Governor Cox is distinctly a man of presidential size, and commands the respect and confidence of Democratic leaders all over the country. It is generally conceded that he is decidedly the strongest man of all the candidates in the great west, and it is freely predicted that he will carry the west against the Republican nominee, Senator Harding, also an Ohioan. Senator Harding was a compromise candidate at Chicago, while Governor Cox was strong from the very outset. THREF> MEN CONFESS TO TRAIN ROBBERY.

He said that about three months ago Quattlebaum and Hart saw his valuables book at his room; they were so chummy even at that time that they examined the belongings of the messenger. They noticed the entry about the payroll" of the marines, and asked him if it was true that such a large amount of money was brought through here monthly. Derrick said it was, and they immediately began planning how to get it.
