She was imbued with all . ) the noble qualities of womanhood and i her life has been one of marked usei fulness in the community. On January 5. 1886 she was married to Mr. Louis Stackley and during her 34 years of wedded life she has in even,- way proven an exemplary wife, J mother, friend and neighbor. Always j j kind, affectionate and indulgent, she j j was greatly beloved by children. Of her own she had nine, seven daughters and two sons, who with a heart stricken husband sun-ive her.

We rpgret this situation, therefore, an effbrt is being made to remove from our borders illiteracy. We are coming to you, the recognized leaders in your communities, to ask your active cooperation in accomplishing this task. During the months of January and February the teachers of the State ait? to be urged to organize classes for the purpose of teaching adults to read and write. They can do little without your hearty support. Please see your teachers at once, pledge your assistance and request them to organize a class. Will you not help them in the following ways: 1. Get every one in the communii ty interested in the movement. Create i such a public sentiment that no one i will be willing to make a mark after I the adult school term is over. 2. Call a meeting of the district j board of trustees and, with the teach- j ders, make out a aenniie pian 101 yuui campaign. 3. Make a list of every person in your district who cannot read and ( write, then pay a friendly visit to these persons and urge them to at. tend school or study in their homes. 4. Select one person for whom you ; will be responsible for getting in school and, if necessary, give a few . lessons to him. I 5. Encourage the teacher by fur, nishing a way to go to school and by seeing that the building is well light, ed and heated. 6. Offer several small prizes to pupils who do the best work. 7. Show your interest by attending school whenever possible. 1 The ability to read and write is f fundamental if we are to help our i people to independence and self re> spect. The State is willing to pay for the teaching if only some one will see that the classes are organized and i taught. Any assistance you will give I the work will be appreciated, i Yours truly, i J, E, Swearingen, State Superintendent of Education. , Wil Lou Gray, Supervisor of Adult Schools. \ AMBASSADOR TO QUIT Fletcher Terminates Eighteen Years of Service Washington. Jan. 27.?Henry P. j Fletcher has resigned as United States ambassador to Mexico to take effect in the course of the next few weeks. Those who know the reason for Mr. Fletcher's decision say that he was convinced that a continuation of the efforts he has made during the four years in which he has held this important post to bring the Carranza i government into accord with the United States Government on the I many irritating issues which have arisen, involving the protection of American lives and property rights would be futile. He terminates eighteen years of sen-ice in the diplomatic branch of the government with great regret and without any particular plans for his own future, but feels certain that he can no longer be helpful in cultivating proper relations with Mexico as long as President Carranza remains in control there. Mr. Fletcher's resignation was not hastily determined upon, and in fact, last summer he sought to terminate his relations with the State Department, but owing to the state of public business and" the illness of some of the higher officials of the department, he was induced to remain in Washington to act as adviser to the secretary in matters relating not only to Mexico, but to all Latin-American affairs, for which work he was peculiarly fitted by reason of his long " * A. 1.1 experience m mat pari yi wc nvnu. o February 4th first and last time you will have opportunity to buy the best and most desirable business lots ever offered ii^ Kingstree.
