A XEWS SCOOP.
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.

Friday evening. 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. He said uo didn't want to
have them carry their plan through,
