There are many people in this county who can easily make $25 a week, and mora, for several weeks by working for us under this plan. To those who are willing to work this is 'a splendid chance. At this time from $5 to $25 a week would come in mighty handy to many of us, and most any bright boy or girl can make that h by this plan. As _can see for yourself, the profits al owed for securing subscriptions for us is very lib eral, but if we can help some industrious people to earn some extra money to tide them over at this time we will not be sorry we offered such liberal terms. You will be doing your neigh bor a good turn to get him to take his county" paper and he will thank you for it; and you will do us a good turn by get ting subscribers for us,and doing yourself-a good turn for doing good for others and making oney for yourself at the same An opportunity like this is not fered every day; so take advanta of this one now. Secretarl of Wa Garrison has finally made the ge "als and war "experts" understan . at he is boss of that partic ar branch of the government -not they. And it seensSecretry of the Navy Daniels will ydave to inake the same thing p;idin to his underlings. Col. Roosevelt has been in ed to go to China and "write it up If theColonel will promise not to hunt up any more doubtful rivers, those rivers which climb over mountain peaks whether or no, and not look for insects that wear steamboat whistles, we will consent to let him try his hand on China. There should be another rural mail route in the upper art of Pickens county. M fThe people inthat section . un r ty have practically no" mail fa t cilities, having to go 'eight, ten or twelve miles for their mail. In some parts of the upper sec tion of the county it is practic ally impossible to mail a letter and there is no excuse for such conditions in this section of the country in this day of progress. So after that route, people. - 'ot like to who quits ta . a-, 1 per in order to save ~ isn practicing false economy. It is s saving only two cents a week in money and losing farmnore in other ways. Every citizen n t s to take his coun -er f it is -worth a at all. We kno .the Sentiriel is worth - m thanwe charge for it now, ad it is our intention to build p tbis paper so that no good itizen can afford to do without it, whether he wants it or not; Sand if we stay here long enough Swe are going to do it, too. That General Villa is not the bloodthirsty and heartle yil blain he is painted, thouge has -been accused of many atrcities S(which, by the way, have never Ebeen conclusively proven), evi Sdence accumulates that his heart is in the right spot. For in stance, it is related, by his order more than a million dollars' worth of property found in the Snational warehouse and in resi Sdences occupied by officials now fugitives, has been restored to the rightful owners. It is also 'reported that recently the child less commander of the revolu rerv kres of M :o spent a day a aKt ein the ca1 nd sort e an war o. -.ess and :'a street 1Ley we (M.A2-J, .Junied and fed and sent by train to another city, there to be cared for and educated at Villa's expense. Any man, howeyer base, who loves Slittle children, even though he be an ex-bandit is, in our humble opinion, better than those who say, "I am better than thou." Under our profit-sharing plan each person gets paid according what he or she does. Half Your Living Without Money Cost A right or wrong start in 1915 will make or break most farmers in the Cotton States. We are all facing a crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is up set. The supply merchant cannot ad vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You must do your best to Droduce on your own acres the food and grain suppnes that have made up most of your store debt in the past. A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and Twenty Per Cent of White Voters in S. C. Said to Be Illiterate That 20 per cent. of the white men of South Carolina of voting age are illiterate is the startling estimate made from literacy figures compiled by State Supt. John E. Sweringen, from 33 of the 44 counties in South Caro lina, based on the returns of the Democratic club rolls. This is an increase of 100 per cent. in illiteracy among white voters in four years, for the Federal cen sus of 1910 showed that 10.3 of the white voters of the State were illiterate. "Public school organization and efficiency are challenged in clarion tones by these figures," says State Supt. of Education Swearingen in his annual report to the general as seembly. Cherokee County occupies the unenviable position of showing the greatest percentage of illiter acy among the white voters of the State in the figures of 33 out of the 44 counties reported to State Supt. J. E. Swearingen. The percentage of Democratic voters in Cherokee county who are unable to sign their own names is 29.3. Marlboro comes next with 27.5. Pickens 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 Barnwell, Berkeley, Charleston, Chesterfield, Col ton, Fairfield, Greenville, Green wood, Lee, Horry and Orange burg. Beaufort c arries off first honors in the small percentage of illiteracy, only 7 per cent, of er white voters being unable 'gn their names to the Dem o tic club rolls. C menting further on the i figures Mr. Swearingen says: ese figures show the Confede te yeterans of 60 years are perhgs better educated than their grandsons of 21.

The management of The Pickens Sentinel has decided inaugurate a Pew profit-sharing plan of getting renewals ai new subscriptions to this paper, and believe it will be w received by some of our. good friends who wish to make few extra dollars during spare time, and if the plan is succeE ful it will also put a little more money into circulation. T plan is very simple, and, as we said before, profit-sharin That is, we are going to divide the subscription money wi those who secure subscriptions for us.. It will prove the easie way to make honest money you ever tried. During the next few weeks many of the subscriptions < our books will expire, and as we will be unable to see all those subscribers, and not wishing to lose them, we are goh to pay somebody well to see them for us. Besides the whose time to The Sentinel will soon expire, there are ma who do not take the paper, but xho would subscribe for t asking. In some communities it will be an easy matter secure from twenty to fifty subsciibers in a day. Most an body can secure from five to twenty subscribers a day at ti tine. The 'following table exp - and profit to thc securing subscriptions: To anyone sending V gbringing us 2 yearly sub scriptions at Oe time we will give-------- 25c For 4 Subs ' ons ----------- -------- 50c For "-_-- _---------------75c 6--"------------------------$1.00 For 7 " ------------------ 1.25 For 8 " ----------------------- 1.50 For 9 " ---------------------- 1.75 For 10 " ---------------------- 2.00 For 15 " ----------------------- 3.25 For 20- " ----------------------- 4.50 For 25-"------------------------- 6.00 For 5--"----i-------------------12.50 For100--"-----------------------26.00 And so on in proportion. The price of The Sentinel is One Dollar a year and subscriptions must be paid in advance. Two six mont su bscriptions count same as one yearly subscription. Any man, boy, woman or girl who can read and write rr enter into this plan with us. Go to work t6day and get a lot of subscriptions bef( somebody else gets ahead of you. The ones who begin wo early will be the ones to reap the best harvest. This proposition will not be open ior a great length of tin so write us today for .a receipt book and go to work.
