SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT. >88 "The greatest factor in the life of any community, is its boys and girls; " j and the future of the community may >et rcck?netl according as interest is taken in child life. Nurtured and trained with care and affection it has its possibility of reaching its highest pinnacle; treated with indifference or I neglect it is almost certainly foredoomed to prodigal wastefulness of its higher powers. And tho community profits or suffers proportionately as it takes interest in its child life." These words, taken from a recent i issue of the Kershaw Era, are heartily commended to the serious consideration of Chesterfield School District. Chesterfield is in need of improve! nients along several lines, hut there is no other need so urgent as improved school facilities. We know there is a strong sentiment in favor of this particular improvement. Many people have volunItarily spoken to the editor of The Advertiser about this particular need and have expressed a willingness to share in the expense of the necessary/ improvem&nts. We believe that a mass meeting to consider measures to remedy the present conditions will qieet with a hearty response by the people of I1 Chesterfield School District. CAN THIS BE GEORGIA? Georgia is a prohibition State' al? right, but here is what happened there I recently, according to the Atlanta I Constitution. A South Georgia matron throw into hor back yard a can of spoiled brandied peaches. When she went back that evening to feed the chickens she found seven old hens outrageously drunk, three roosters down and out, and a number of pullets and cockerels carrying on in a manner obnoxious to any wellraised fowl. The chickens had gotten to the fruit and not a sober one was to be found in the chicken yard. In the spring of 1915 we bought newspaper at $49 per ton. In January, 1916, we got it for $5.3 per ton. It is now quoted at $1.30 per ton, and we have to wait for the factories to (ill the orders when they can.?Dillon Herald. 1 1 PARKER ON WILSON Hon. John M. Parker, who was nominated by the Progressives for vice-president, said in a recent speech: "I am not a Democrat, but believe the thanks of this nation are due to ?Wood row Wilson for what he has accomplished in the shape of progresI ggg sive legislation that has brought un?told millions, happiness ai.d prosperity to our people." I Mr. Parker has a level head. He i can't swallow that man Hughes. SPEAKING FOR BUNCOMB We did not think anybody would go back on Buncomb County, North Carolina. Ever since the editor of The Advertiser was a young child congressmen have been making speeches to which none of the other congressmen were paying much attention because those speeches were for home consumption?they were for Bun2f comb. No county has ever been so it noted or so highly honored as Bun9 comb county. The good old Congressional Record has been for years filled ? with eloquent speeches that went entirely over the heads of fired and M sleepy congressmen but landed in S Buncomb county and aroused the nai pj| tives to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. "Our congressman is showing them fellers in Washington that they can't fool with us. John Doe is standing by us boys. We must stand by him. We must elect him again and show them Washington fellers that we will have our rights." And John Doe goes back, and toward the close of his next term he makes more speeches for Buncomb. _ But nevertheless here comes a press dispatch to the effect that Huncomb county is kicking and kicking lively. And here is the trouble with Bun- ? comb. When th?* Federal relief funds 3 for fixing roads that the floods had distroyed was being distributed, Buncomb, N. C., did not get a cent. That county wants to open a highway through Hickory Nut (iap in order that the farmers of Bat Cave section may be able to fret to market. Now if the congressman from Buncomb does not get busy and see that ^ Bat Cave and Hickory Nut Gap get l'( that highway he may as well prepare !SS, to stay at home next session. But we believe that Buncomb will ^et what it wants alright. an ^ th Editorial Elysium.

A SONG OF TRIUMHP By An|?lia Morgan, in New York Evening Mail. I Work! Thank God for the might of it, The ardor, the urge, the deilght of it? Work that springs from the heart's desire, Setting the brain and the soul on fire? Oh, what is so good as the heat of it, And what is so glad as the beat of it, And what is so kind as the stern command, Challenging brain and heart and hand? Work! Thank God for the pride of it, For the beautiful, conquering tide of it, 12* - 2- ! A. ? " unccpuiK me in e in its iurious noon, Thrilling the arteries, cleansing the blood, Mastering stupor anil dull despair, Moving the dreamer to do and dare, Oh, what is so good as the urge of it, And what is so glad as the surge of it, And what is so strong as the summons deep, Rousing the porpid soul from sleep? Work! Thank God for the pace of it, For the terrible, keen, swift race of it, Fiery steeds in full control, Nostrils aquiver to greet the goal. Work, the power that drives behind, Guiding the purposes, taming the mind, Holding the runaway wishes back. Reigning the will to one steady track, Speeding the energies faster, faster, Triumphing over disaster. Oh, what is so good as the pain of it, And what is so good as the gain of it? And what is so kind as the cruel goal, Forcing us on through the rugged road? Work! Thank God for the swing of it, For the clamoring, hammering, ring of it, Passion of labor daily hurled On the mighty anvils of the world. Oh, what is so tierce as the flame of it? And what is so huge as the aim of it? Thundering on through dearth and doubt, Calling the plan of the Maker out, Work, the Titan; Work, the friend, Shaking the earth to a glorious end. Draining the swamps and blasting the hills, Doing whatever the Spirit will? Rending a continent apart, To answer the dream of the Master heart, Thank God for a world where none may shirk? Thank God for the splendor of work!

This is a matter of great importance to the tenant if he will only avail himself of the opportunity it offers him in buying ior himself a home. Congress in passing this law so fixed it that as small an amount as $100 could be borrowed. This will enable people of humble means to borrow only in such amounts necessary to the purchase of a few acres for a little home. That community that has the largest number of small home owners is the most prosperops community and this law will encourage the idea of home owned by the man who inhabits the home. No other citi/.en is so fit for citizenship as the home owner. lie is the bone and sinew ofthis great republic of ours; upon him depends the rise and progress of the nation.. He is the citizen that lends cast to all ma- | terial wealth. He is the citizen to whom we look for deliver* ence in times of disquiet. He is the citizen upon whom both school and church depends. To encourage home t making and m home building would be a step to? ward a high citizenship; a citizenship that would bind itself together to inspire high ideals, whose ideals would be found in the principles so loved and cherished by our fathers who handed this great country to us as our birthright. To depart from what was the ideal of those who purchased this land with the price of blood is to degenerate. They taught that all men were born equal. Some may by pluck and diligence outstrip others in things material, yet there can be but one test of true American citizenship and that is to be loyal to American institutions and American standards. There can be but two classes of society, namely, those who believe in right and persue it, and those who believe in wrong and do it. We are all wealth producers. No man can have the right conception of getting wealth as long as he violates the tenth commandment, but he rings true when he endeavors to produce wealth peculiarly his own, without infringing upon the rights of ss? those about him. ? The few lust paragraphs were put in out of line to toueh thi> man who sits with his weather eye out to get his neighbor's house, instead of preserving to him his rights to own his own home. "NO ILLITERACY BY 1920" "No illiteracy in South Carolina by an 1920" is the title of an appeal sent out by the South Carolina Rural School Improvement Association, urging that November 15 be set aside as "illiteracy day" in South Carolina. The appeal asks that on that day every teacher and every advanced pupil teach at least one illiterate, and ministers are asked to pray for the wiping out of illiteracy on November (p( 18. Request is made of newspapers to give publicity to the movement for the attack on illiteracy on November 15th. Covernor Manning has the circular in his office and may urge that November 15 be set aside for a special drive on illiteracy. I The circular referred to tells that ' last year there were eighteen State.- I with night schools, which is doing so I - i o.?,L. ! 111 vii 11 WW ?i|iu wut iiiuri iiv V, illlll OH Ul II (Carolina is one of them. In this ' State there were 5,000 enrolled in , the schools, which were conducted in j ninety-eight out of the 1GG mill vil| lages in the State. It points out that | 40,000 white adult men have been P~ taught to read and write in Kentucky so since the night school work was beml gun in that State in 1900. The federal census of 1910 placed ,c> States which had more than 25 per cent of illiteracy in a black area and ?l South Carolina was one of the two til States thus designated. The idea is re to get out of this position and be at the head of the States in 1920 with , all illiteracy wiped out. "!| .

Though She Had Become a Physical Wreck, Her Health Was Restored. "It is the grandest medicine there ever was." That's Tanlac, as Mrs. Mamie Burgess, of No. 18 Saco St., Greenville, described it. "I was a physical wreck when I be gan taking it, but three bottles made me a well and strong woman, "added Mrs. Burgess. The endorsement she | gave of Tanlac is strong and sincere, and she gave it because she said, "I hope my giving this statement will help some other woman to find relief in Tanlac like it gave me." "Mrs. Burgess said she took Tan- i 'H lac because it had helped a relative of hers, Mrs. Lillie Burgess, so much. The latter mentioned Mrs. Burgess also had given an endorsement of Tanlac' for publication. Mrs. Mamie Burgess' endorsement follows: "I suffered with indigestion so badly that 1 just could not eat anything at any time hardly, and especially at YkB supper, for 1 would almost choke to Wl death. It seemed that everything I y ate lodged in my throat and almost choked me and brought on smothering spells. 1 was very nervous and could not sleep. I had no desire to eat and just had to force down what 1 did eat. "After meals my stomach felt like it had fire in it. I belched a great deal and my stomach always was .our. I was troubled a lot with heartburn, too. I had no strength nor en rgy, and I could hardly do my housework. 1 suffered a great deal with dizzy headaches, and my liver was out of order. "A relative of mine, Mrs. Lillie. Burgess, had been helped so much by taking Tanlac that 1 decided to take t, too. The Tanlac drove away all uy stomach trouble and gave me a great appetite. I can now eat anything I want and it does not hurt me. My nerves were quieted, and the medicine built up my system so much that 1 got to where I slept fine every night. It regulated my liver and my svstem irenerallv and headaches. "Tanlac increased my strength a lot and made me feel fine in every way. 1 am a well woman, I think. "1 now recommend Tanlac because it is the grandest medicine there ever was. It sure is fine. I was a physical wreck when I began taking Tanlac, but three bottles made me a well and strong woman."
