Mr. Editor: I wish to write a few lines to your paper concerning the eeurt that is just over in Pickens county. It se'ems strange to me that. .truthful, honest people haven't any voice in court as you claim the court is founded on the Bible. The part that has hurt me so is to think the men who dressed my poor boy had no voice in the clothes they took oft of him, and his coat had to be han dled in the court house, and tried to 'be slandered before the people be cause it was soiled. I do not believe he had spoken to the 'man who mur dered him, for he was a kind, honest hearted boy towards everybody he met, atnd as faithful to his duty at home as any boy any parents ever reared. The good people of Easley proved this by their kindness toward uis all, and I thank them for their kind hand towards us. 1 just want the people who stood in the court house to know that although my poor - boy is not here to take his part, his old mother is. As to the sentence the boy recein ed, I have notliing to do with that, for 1 know that he and all the rest will have to stand before a Judge where there will be no jurors nor lawy qa, and the , sentence will be sealed by a righteous Judge What is man today for each other? God made man after His own image, and for His own gloiry, and to glorify Him, but where are a great number of them It seems to me that they have got the mark of the beast on their foreheads and in their hands. Just think .of the murder In our own country. I do not think any of the laws are founded on the Bible, be cause God's law' I know is a right eous law. I would to God our peo ple would follow it. I surely am sorry to see our country in the con dition it is in, I would say in time of peace, but where is peace? Although my poor boy was taken in an instant, I feel like he has gone to rest where all is peace and joy, and I hope to meet and greet him some sweet day. His mother, Mrs. M. B. Holcombe.

But with a few more hot dlays like we had last week, and wvith Uncle Sol lending us a helping hand, he will surely be conquered. Well, the province of Cedar Rock continues to -grow. With good schools, churches and good roads to travel on, and pretty girls to look at, good preaching and teaching to lis ten to, we feel on par with any other communmity in this whole big county of ours. A large crowd attended pray'er meeting at Cedar Rock Sunday night. The service 1was conducted by Bro. H. E. Dacus, on the subject of "Every Day Life." Bro.

Judge. JAY M. ABBOTT Funeral Director and Ernbalmer Phone No. 5 LIBERTY, S. C. Among the ' many discoveries brought to our 4tterition .by our' en trance into the World War, we find that South Carolina was shown to us I as she really was. True to her pre- I vious record, her sons were as brave as any and they were sent willingly, but we were amazed when the New York Times told the world the truth about them: for 49.5 per cent could neither read nor write ! Practically I half of the South Carolina men went to serve the state who had deprived them of educational advantages! New York with its thousands of for eigners, had a percentage of only 16.6. Our educational rating is be low Hawaii and Porto Rico. There I is only one other state in the Union who have more citizens who can neither read nor write. No other state in the Union has a more honor able history, but history does not re lieve the present conditions or lessen our shame. I In 1916 twenty-three per cent of I the voters of Piclkens county signed. the democratic club roll by making their mark! So we find work with in our own county to do. The summer drive against illit eracy will be more thoroughly organ ized than ever before and the de 'rease in our county per cent. of il :iteracy will be greater. The county will be divided into sections and the county organizer will work from centers. The course of study in the adult schools will in clude reading, writing, spelling and arithmetic. If advisable such class es as civics and current events may be added. The time and place will be d ?cided by the pupils and teacher. The minimum monthly term will be twelve lessons on tw ?lve separate days; the maximum monthly term It twenty lessons on twenty separate days. It is surprising how eagerly! and how rapidly adults master the course given! It. is a fact realized L by these experienced in such work I that ordinarily an adult will cover the work of a regular school grade in one lay by school. A daisy .session may be from one hour and a half to two hours and a half. A complet census will be taken of the entire county and the men and women who have not had an oppor tunity to learn to read and write - will be given their chance. Farmers, doctors, lawyers, bank ers, business men and all public 1 minded, loyal hearted citizens are pushing this campaign. I Pickens county is going to wipe out the blot of illiteracy I Keep the message of the State 11 literacy Commission in mind, "Let South Carolina secede from illiter- I acy." BIBLE CONFERENCE. The seventh annual Bible confer ence will convene on Sunday, the 11th (lay of September, and close on the 25th. There wvill be with us Dr. Leon W. Tucker, Rev. L. B. Comp ton andl Dr. R. V. Miller, and we also are expecting "Uncle Charlie." We dlesire to again reiterate that these conferences are held for the uplift of the people of this and sur rounding counties. They are not anti-denominational but interdenomi national, and is a joint effort of the Christian people to reach the unsaved and-for our elevation in Bible study. They are our meetings and all are invitedl. Let every Christian man, woman and child join in prayer for t'hese .servicesi. Very truly, Committee. AERrOPLANE BURNS IN SPAR-1 TANBURG. M. A. C.
