Dring the nett two months we t are going to thoroughly organize every . school district so that . every part of our country will be able to conduct an interesting and histruct 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 diffort'n districts to begin their plans fbri ,tlih"ir adulti schools.

Greenville Piedmont. Where and when was the last fight in the War'Between the States? Sev. tral writers in the Pickens county pres s have asserted that it took place in this section about May 1, 1805, but the weight. of authority is aganst their contention. In "The Rise and r all of the . Confederat? Govern ment," President J)efferson F-ava ..ys "On May 1th, after the last army vast of the Mississippi had surrer-d e(l, but before Kirby Smith b;.d tered into teriwi the (nem en an expedition from the Br:azo Santi~a against a little (nfederate ele:.Inm nent some fifteen mih-s abhi ove. The :ampI was captured and burm d. i at .n th( .al to secure the fruit. c: . ictory they remained so long ot. ing the plunder that (een. .1. E. Sh.oghter heard of the expedition, moi(Veil against t 1n(1 drov it. hack with considerable loss, sustaining 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 South Carolina.
