A course adapted fdr grown men and. women, By taking advantage of this oppot industrial endeavors are opened to our men and women who now find themselves handicapped by the lack of early training. Daring the next two months we are going to thoroughly organize every school district so that - every part of our country will be able to conduct an interesting and instruct ive adult or lay-by school. We want every resource available to be en listed- against illiteracy. Let each district have for its work the solici tation of every person over fourteen years of age who has not completed the fifth grade work of our public schools. The most effective method of accomplishing this is to make per sonal appeals to those who should at tend these schools. Let our patriot ism prove itself by earnest efforts in working for these schools. It is time for the trustees of the d:ff.ore'nt districts to begin their plans fk'r ,tl.ir adult schools. Let this be a personal a;:pal to every trustee fer their best efforts in organizing their ..schools.

Greenville Piedmont. Where and when was the last fight in the War'Between the States? Sev 'Lra.l wrifers in the Pickens county rress have asserted that it took place in this section about May 1, 1865, but the weight. of authority is gafint th-ir contention. In "The Ripe and zall of the . Confederate Govern ment," President Jefferson Vl'iv =..ys: "On May 1 th, after the last a ry'. east of the Mississipri had surre:d' ied, but. before Kirby Smith h.d tered into termi.. the enemy e expedition from the IBrazo.

Sh.aghter heard of the expedition. aT vc against it and drove it hack with co:nsid(rable loss, sustaining r very little injury to his command. This was, I believe, the last .armed - conflict of the war, and, tho very small in comparison to its great bat ties, it deserves notice as having closed the long struggle, as it opened, with a Confederate victory." According to the Chief Magistrate of the Confederacy, then, the last combat was in Texas, more than a month after the surrender of "Lee's Miserables" at Appomattox and more than 'a week after the final firing in S uth Carolina.

That bankers, warehousemen, and sich Was fatt'nin' on the planter, And Tennessy was rotton-rich A-raisin' meat and corn, all which - Draw'd money to Atlanta. And the only thing (says Jones).to do Is, eat no meat that's boughten, But tear up every 1, 0, U, And plant all corn and !swear for true To quit a'raisin' cotton! Thus spouted Jones*(whar folks could hear, At court and other gatherin's), And thus kep' spoutin' many a y'ear, Pr'oclaimin' loudly far and near Sich fiddlesticks anid blatherin's. But one all-fired sweatin'-day, It happened I was hoein' My lower corn-field, which it lay 'Longside the road that runs my way. Whar I can see what's goin'. And a'ter twelve o'clock had come I felt a kinder faggin', And laid myself un'neath a plum To let. my dlinner settle sum, When 'long come Jones's wvaggin. A nd Jones was sittin' in it, so, A-readin' of a paper. His mules was goin' powerful slow, Fur he had tied the lines onto The staple of the scraper. The mules they stopped about a rod From me, and went to feedini' 'Longside the road, upon the sod, But Jones (which he had tuck a tod1) Not knowin', kept a-readin'. And presently says he: "Hit's true That Clisby's head is level. Thar's one thing farmers all must do, To keep 'hemselves from goin' tew' Bankruptcy and the dlevil! "More corn! mnore corn--must plant less ground, And mustn't eat what's boughten! Next year they'll (10 it: reasonin' soundl (A nd cotton will fetch 'bout a dlollar a pound), Tharfore, I'll plant all cotton!" --'Macon.
