TWENTY PER CENT IN SOUTH
CAROLINA OF VOTING
AGE IS STARTLING ES
TIMATE MADE FROM
LITERACY FIGURES.
AN INCREASE
OF 100 PER CENT
Figures Compiled by Superinten
dent Swearingen From 33 of
44 Counties in State.
Bpeciol to Tho Intelligencer.
COLUMBIA. Jan. 7.-That 20 per
?cent, of the white men of South Car
olina of vo'.ing age are illiterate is thc
startling estimate made from literacy
figures compiled by State Superintend
ent John 10. Swearingen from 33 of
the 44 counties in South Carolina,
based on the returns of th'. Demo
I eratic club rolls. This ls an increase
of 100 per cent, in Witera?y among
white voters'..in four years, for the
Federal census or 1910 showed that
10.3 of the white voters of the Slato
were illiterate-. "Pnbliv school or
[ gar.izaiion and efficiency are chal
lenged In clarion tones by these fig*
urea," 6ays State Superintendent of
Education John E. Swearingen in bis
annual report to the general assem
bly. v
Cherokee County occupies the un
? enviable position of allowing . the
greatest per cent age of illiteracy
among the white voters of the State
In the figures of 33 out of tho 44 coun
ties reported to Stute Superintendent
of Education John E. Swearingen.
The percentage of Democratic voters
in Cherokee County who are unable
to sign their own names ls 29.3. Marl
boro comes next with 27.8? Plckens i
third with 26.4. Lancaster fourth with
25.2 and Spartanburg a close fifth
with 25 per cent. Figures were not
obtained from the counties of Barn-j
well, Berkeley, Charleston, Chester-!
Ifield, Colet?n, Greenville, Greenwood,
? Dorry, Leo and Orangeburg.
Beaufort carries off first honors in
the small percentage of Illiteracy,
only seven per cent, of her white vot
ers being unable to sign their names
to the Democratic club rolls. Edge-1
field, the borne county of United
States Senator B. R. Tillman and of j
Superintendent Swearingen, stands!
second with 8-.!. and Calhoun tn; third
with 10 per cent. These figures were
Obtained : firom tho Democratic club
rolls;- . .
"The census of 1010," says Super
intendent Swearingen in his report to
.the general assembly, "showed 17.500
white males of native parentage who I
I were unable to read and write. The j
census further shows that 10.9 per I
cent, ot our .white voters were illiter
ate. These figures were questioned
hy many, hut the nemi.rratlc rrthi nfl
? 9?4 disclosed nome interesting facta 1
in thia connection. ' Doubtless hun-1
dreds of names were' marked with a ]
cross on these rolls for reese. ?hat
might be easily enumerated. '/ow
much would it mean for the cause of
education if every voter unable to
?write his name, would feel humllitated
and ashamed to make his mark. The
need of such a sentiment ls plainly
seen in the literacy figures. compiled
.from the Democratic enrollment lists
?of the sellerai counties."
Commenting further on the literacy!
figures Mr. Swearingen says: "These]
figures show that the Confederate vet
erans of CO years are perhaps better
[educated than their grandsons ot 21.1
?The State was redeemed from carpet
bag rule irt 1876. The reform move
ment of 1800 originated ia the demand]
[fior an agricultural college. Never
theless, 20 per cent, of the men born 1
[ within the last 38 years are either tl- !
I literate or not unwilling to sign their i
, names with a mark. Public school
organisation and efficiency are chal
lenged in clarion tones by these fig
urea."
The totals from the SS counties,
present an interesting study and af-|
; ford room for serious thought, as
pointed out by an educator hero to- i
day. Ot the 30,824 voters hot weed
the ages of 21 to 29 years reported,
r,,799 made their marks, of the 2g,494
between 30 and 39 years of age, 5,172
made their mark; 18,249 between the
age* of 40 and 49 registered and of the
number 2,565 made their marks; of
the 13,394 between tho ages of 50 to
l?39, 3,129 made their.mark; of the Mr
564 between the ages of 00 years and
up, 4,090 made their mark. Thaeo 33
counties reported a Democratic en
t rollment of 100.894 and ot this nutn
bey 22,251 made their mark, or in oth
er words over 22 per cent, of the
j white Democratic voters in 33 c?un
! ties aro illiterate.
The total' enrollment of Democrats
la the 44 counties wan ir.1,876 and, to
[get th? percentage.of Illiteracy for
[the State Jt would bo necessary to
[have figures from every county.
Superintendent Swearingen made
levory effort to gather the figures
from each county but repeated re
quest* from- the ll counties ramed
ton-ought no reel. nsee. R is believed
I that 80 per c*nt. illiteracy among the
'white citizens O? South Carolina ls

That one oni ot every five white

write his name, ls bound to sdd tn

We all know that there ts too much
politics tn the office ot supervisor for
the good of the county. This should

management should bo the qualifica

common sense will admit that the

With some one all the time pulling
against him.
WILLIAMSTON. Jan. C.-The floods
como and the rains continue to de
scend and. well the roads are some
thing awful to even think about muob
less travel over. In fact, lt is next to
impossible to get! over them io some
placee without the assistance of an
airship or a batean.
Whllo we think tho people of An
derson should go slow about anything
that would Increase their taxes, which
aro already too high, wo think we
w?ll never need a bond Issue any more
for road Improvement than we .do at
present If a bond Issuo was voted how
would trie- money be 'distributed?
Would lt .be placed in tho hands of
the county commissioners to be used
by the county at large or Would lt be
proportioned according to the taxable
property in the different sections?
If the moiujv ?a* dietiributod in
accordance with tbo amount of taxes
paid by each section would not the
ronda in isolated rural sections' sof
ter for work Just as much as they
hs vt/ In the past?
In onr opinion this talk of a bund
Issue for road Improvident til ail
foolishness for lt an Issue of a billion
dollars werf mads, and expended ?ne
halt the reads In Anderson county
would ?tin be in bad shape ia times
like the present tor we have no con
trol over the weather. The only pian
that we can think of that would be
likely to benefit us to any great extent
would be a slight Increase tn taxes to
wipe out the county indebtedness tn
four ar five years and the keeping in
office of the present superviso" until
he has made good on th? present
plans that hf? has tn slew. Let the peu
pla In Ute city of Anderson and the
county pull together and stop so much
partisanship and give ,tko eajwrtoor
