A NEW MONEY CROP.
The potato bik t'.. ir to soon be
come an important money crop fo
the South. Modern warehouses en
able the farmers to keep their po
tatoes in prime condition 19ng afte
they . lve been taken from th
groni ,. while the co-operative mar
ketink : associations assure stabi
markets at fair prices.
Sweet potatoes are grown to i
limited extent only in the North am
West and East, and even where it il
grown the quality is inferior.-' Th<
sweet potato ;eaches perfection only
in the South, and people of other
sections of the country as a rule
know little or nothing about it.
That sweet potatoes grow in popu
larity wherever they are introduced
has been proven time and again. The
supply never exceeds the demand.
All that is needed to make the
sweet potato one of the principal
crops of the South is a campaign of
education, so to speak, in order to
acquaint the people of other parts of
the country with its many merits as
an article of food, and then the es.
tablishment of an adequate system of
marketing and distributing as is now
contemplated for this community
through the activities of the local
commercial organization.
These things can be done, anti

PICKENS COVN'tY. MOVING FOS
WARD.
The 1020 census report is indee
very- gratifying 'to the people o
Pickens county.' It shows the
Pickens is the whitest county in .th
State. We have fewer negroes tha
any other county, while thosente d
have are not all illiterates by a larg
majority.
The report also shows tha
counting both races Pickens has
smaller number of illiterates that
- any county in South Carolina. Ou
percentage is 10.7. This means ou
of every 100 persons only 10 car
not read and write. Greenville
r county ranks next, while Oconee and
. Anderson are close followers.
Pickens county is proud of the
r fact that she stands at the head o1
the list. -W has bein only . fev
years ago that there were some news
paper articles to the effect that Pick
ens was at the bottom.. This goes to
disprove that fact. If we ever were
on the bottom we are not now.
Many things have contributed to
bring about this change. Briefly
mentioning a few we find that good
roads has had a significant part in
the change. Good roads combined
with the automobile has probably
been the greatest factors at wot-k .to
bring this about. When people have
good means of transportation it car
ries them away from home to mix
and m1ingle with their neighbors,
consequently broadening their vis
ion and opening up new fiieds of
thought and endeavor.
Another thing that has helped de.
crease our illiteracy is the moving
picture show. People have become
interested in the theatre, and to at
tend one is to read a great deal.
This has brought about study on the
part of illiterates who attend.
Probably the greatest thing which
has helped in this struggle to rid the
state of illiteracy was the World
War. Numbers of our boys who
went. into the service of the U. S,
left hllom(e u nable to read and write
- but returned freed from the shackle!
of illiteracy.
P Yet another thing that .has beet
of vital importance in bringing abou
this wonderful change is the adult o
lay-by schools. These schools hay
done a wonderful work. They wil
R continue to (o a greater work. The
have b. en the saulvation of hundred
of men and women during the pam
. t'w years.

t- OOLENOY HIGH SCIXOOL NOTES.
The first monta of the work of the
Oolenoy high school, under the lead
d 'ership of Prof. A. B. Fortner, has
. been most satisfacto'y. The results
t obtained have been far above what
e the most - oplbiJniatie expected. In
n other words Oolenoy's trustees and
0 patrons have no hesitancy in saying
e that they have the advantage over
all other schools of the county in
t this respeot.
I The one year normal course which
I has been added this year has attract
r ed much attention. It is being taken
by a number of very promising stu
dents. The slogan of pupils taking
this course is to satisfy fthe board of
education for a first grade teacher's
certificate. They say, "Watch us
next May."
Whil pre$icgl Y,. ..no , advprtise
it 'of the- scho has' been put out,
the class of 'work that is being done
has attracted considerable attention.
-As a result w.e have pupils who were
last year students at Six Mile, Eas
ley graded, Grove and Central high
school of Greenville, respectively.
The Oolenoy high school literary
was organized the second week of
school. The active members are
pupils from the high and irammar
school departments. This part of the
school work is, with each meeting,
becoming more attractive and bene
ficial. It is a looked-forward-to
part of the week's work. It is held
weekly-the last hour of Friday
aflternoon.
The trustees of the school have ia
cently furnished the school with
teacher's desks. This adds much to,
the comfort of the teachers and
gives to the school room a more pre
senting appearance.
The Evelyn Dew Memorial has
been formed. Some sixty odd vol
umes condtitute the first list. Money
has been raised to make addition, to
this number at once. It will be re
membered that Miss Dew was a for
mer teacher here and that she died
while at home (luring 'the Christmas
holiday, some two years ago. The
comnmu ity desiring to commemorate
her wo-k and to perpetuate her
memory could conceive of nothing
more fiting than a memorial library.
' Friends' of the school are to con
Ltribute a bookcase at an early date.
An announcement of considerablk
interest was made recently by Pro
fessor- Fortner diing chapel exer
cises. A'-close friend of the schoo!
t has offered t handsome gold medal
