It measures ten inches long and has

It is hard to tell which way the animal

a week or more. The last one seen
was near Mr. Boh Winfee's place.

The Illiteracy Commission, composed
of Dr. Patterson WardlaW,
State Superintendent of Education
J. E. Swearingen, George D. Brown,
C. E. Burts, S. II. Edmunds, Mrs. J.
L. Coker, Miss Mabel Montgomery
and Miss Wil Lou Gray as Field
Worker, has written every county superintendent
of Education urging that
the counties be orgainzed for the establishment
of Adult Schools.
In each county there will be a committee
on Organization, consisting of
the coutny superintendent of education
as ex-ofticio chairman, a member
appointed by the County Board to be
County Leader, and a third member
to be selected by the other two. The
committee has been asked to undertake
the following work:
(u) To see that a school census
is taken, especially in those districts
where Adult Schools are to be opened.
(b) To encourage the establishment
of Adult Schools.
(c) To work for such legislation as
is necessary for th<? cause.
(<1) To use all possible means of
publicity in an effort to bring to the
attention of the public the great need
for Adult Schools and the resultant
good to the community at large as
well as to the individuals and families
benelitted.
It is the purpose of the Commission
to urge the establishment of two
kinds of schools:
(a) An adult school, three nights
a week, to teach neonlp to nun! ???!
write.
(b)A Community school, one night
in two weeks, open to ail, for the purpose
of civic instruction?a public
forum. The program of this session
will be instructive to the community
and it will make the illiterate feel
thut there is no disgrace in attending
school, as hiB more fortunate neighbor
finds is helpful to uttcnd occasionally.
Schools will be opened at any time
that occasion demands, but a Statewide
effort will be made to have rural
schools run during January and February
and Mill Schools during January,
February nnd March. No pupils
will bo admitted under the compulsory
agc limit, of fourteen, unless
by special permit.
Teachers will be paid $1.00 per
night by the State Department of
Education, provided at least ten pupils
are enrolled. The counties and
the mills will be asked to puy $1.00
additional, giving a salary of $2.00
per night. In order to receive State
Aid, a detailed report must be filed
with the State Superintendent of
Education at the end of the term.
An Institute wns recently held in
Columbia under the direction of the
Commission when County Leaders
and teachers of night schools came
together to study the problems peculiar
to this type of work. Twentysix
counties were represented with
over fifty delegates. The program

demonstration of materials and inspirational
addresses. The attendance
and the unusual interest shown
demonstrates the fact that the teachers
and those in charge of mill work
are awake to the situation and if
Mouth Carolina remains ncrxt to the
most illiterate state in the Union it
will no be their fault.
Illiteracy is a burden to the State.
Bolieving this to be true The IlliU
eracy Commission is asking the Legislature
to appropriate $25,000 for
work of establishing and maintaining
Adult Schools, so that those men
and women who were neglected by
the State in their childhood my still
have the opportunity of learning to
read their Bible, of writing to their
absent children and friends, of transacting
their own business and of following
hrough the press events of
the day. The task of wiping out illiteracy
is oiiu common to the entire
citizenship and it should be the duty
of every patriot to see that this appropriation
is made.
Trustees, teachers and public spirited
citizens are urged to write to the
Illiteracy Commission, Columbia, S.
C., for further information and lit
erature concerning the work.

W. Jeff. H*nnt I
Mrs. W. J. Hunna has received the
following letter from her son, Mr. ,
W. J. Hannn, who is with the "Y" I
service in France.
Paris, France, Nov. 13, 1918 j
My dear Mama: ,
To say that this city has been wild
since Monday morning would give |
you no idea of the rejoicing. Old
and young, lafgc and. small, were on ,
the streets, and every where you \
turned you heard "Vive I/Ameri- |
que!" and our response, "Vive La
France!" Let 3 or 4 Americans ]
start through a crowd, which mount
to start anywhere or any direction, |
and they would soon have a parade of ,
their own. They seemed to think all ,
they had to do was to follow us and <
they would see the fun. Last night |
a bunch of us were in the midst of ,
something less than a million, in front ?
of the opera, singing and yelling, ,
when wt. sang "Good-bye Broadway" |
and when wc ended with "We've (
come to pay our debt to you," some ,
one standing near, and who spoke
English said, "You certainly have (
paid that debt."
Hobson isn't in it with any of us (
any more. I think we got at least ,
ten kisses for every dollar the war has
cost, so you can estimate about how |
many that would be, and what tickled
us wus that the American women
were not exempt. It was certainly
amusing to see a Frenchman make a
dive for one of them.
When the news reached us about
11 o'clock Monday (It was not made
public here until it could reach the
U. S. so that it would be known there
at the same time as here), we quit
work, of course, and joined the gang.
Then we tried to work yesterday 1
morning Stood it until noon, then
quit. About 3,000 of us, soldiers
and "Y," formed on Champs Klyses,
about 10 last night, and marched to
Concorde, where we struck the crowd
on the square It was so dense we
wert. broken up into little squads, and
each squad started a procession of its
own. Sometimes we would meet,
then would come the tug of war to
see which would have the right of
way. I was afraid sometimes for the
women and children, but they never
thought of trying to get out. I saw
old ladies running to keep up. Once
last night I saw a kid, about the si'/.e
of Leila, his mother.had him in her (
arms and was right in the thick of '
on,, of the worst jams. He seemed '
to be frightened and we managed to !
hold the line long enough to pat him 1
and talk to him. He couldn't under- '
stand what we were saying hut seem- 1
ed to feel that he was alright, as he
grinned in perfectly good American. '
We can recommend Paris taxis as '
unbreakable. You would hardly ever 1
see one that was not running over, '
radiator, running board and top, as
long as anybody could hold on. They '
would ride that one until the fare got
out and then they would get olf and
wait until another came by and climb
on.
One bunch of boys were taking the <
town as it came. They would go
into a crowded cafe ?'id one of the
crowd would get on a table and make
a speech, then on to the next, theat- (
res, the same way, march right in
and stop the performance long
enough for their act, then march out.
This morning I heard that they went
to one of the theatres whore there
were a good many high officers, Jack t
Pershing among them, and the police
stopped them They left and gathered
up several hundred and went back,
taking theni by storm, staged their
act and as they marched out, (Jen. ,
Pershing joined in the applause. The |
man who told me said that several
Australians with them said that ,
flag had never been downed and they
<li<l not expect to stand by and see
it stopped.
dust think of it, .'1,000,000 people <
wild with enthusiasm, and not a
face that wasn't smiling. Sometimes
the boys were a little rough,
but everyone seemed to think that i
was part of the game, and if someone I
stepped on somebody's toes, they just | I
grinned and stepped on somubody i
else's toes. As I said, I saw old
women and men and children in jams ]
that were strenuous, but you couldn't
have hired them to get out. Last
night was the first time the city has .
been lighted in four yeurs, so you
may imagine that a few creature discomforts,
such as mashed corns, etc. ]
didn't count much. I
The changed conditions mean a \
considerable change in the "Y" (
work and organizations to meet the i
demand that will be made. I think
everyone realizes that now is the i
opportune time for work, and our ,
leaders have been getting things in i
shape. i
Miss Margaret Wilson is now out i
at the front, singing at the different ]
camps. We Also have a sure-enough
honest-to-goodness Indian l'rincess as {
a "Y" girl.
Had letters from Tom and Sue last ,
week. Tom asked itie to write about
the country and folks. Shucks, I'm
no novelist. I'm going to send you a
little book on Franc* that will b* of
- .. - - n.rtSlii
interest Then when I get hack I
can enlarge on the author's work, on [
uny subject that muy interest you, |
and while my descriptions may not be !
exactly according to Hoyle, as long'
as my superlatives hold out I won't .
be far off the trnck.
The Republicans may think they
have put one over on Wilson, but they
haven't the stock to raise his equal,
and the WORLD knows it.
While most of our*'Vivcs" have ^
been for La France and L'Amcrique
we will never forget obi England,
and while we may think them a lit- ^
tie slow sometimes, "sure" is her
middle name.
Sat. Nov. 10?Yesterday the office '
hoy came in and told us that Prince
Albert was around at the British Embassy,
so we closed shop and went to j
see him. We are about normal
again after the main celebrations. ^
To-morrow (Sunday) the firBt formal
paradc. w'" 'K; held, celebrating the
return of Alsuc and Lorraine. All ^
"Y" men and women in Paris will ^
take purt. There will not be a very
large number of troops, though all ^
>f the Allies will be represented, and
tvill make quite u showing. ^
The newspapers for the past day
r?r two speak as though President
C]
Wilson may come to Paris during De- ^
comber to take part in the final peace ^
negotiations.
I haven't seen any of the home

I handled a remittance from Tom ^

PASSES AWAY SUDENLY
Oyster Hay, L.I., Jan. G.?Theoloru
Roosevelt, former President of
he United States died this morning
jetwcen 4 and 4:15 o'clock, while
tsleep in his bed at ihs home on Saganore
Hill, in this place.
His physicians said that the immeliate
cause of death was a clot of
>lood which detached itself from a
rein and entered the lungs.
His sudden death took by surprise
lis physicians as well as all others
vho had been with him lately. It was
innounced that the blood clot was
lot directly due to the inflammatory
heumatism from which he had been
offering for two months, but must
>e traced to earlier conditions. One
?f the contributing causes was the
ever which he contracted during his
(xplorations in Hra7.il, when he disovcred
the River of Doubt early in
1)14. This fever left a poison in the
ilood which bad been a partial cause
if several attacks of illness which he
tad suffered since that time.
Colonel Roosevelt was working
lard as late as Saturday, dictating ar
idea and letters He spent Sunday
luietly, but looked and felt well, unil
shortly before I I o'clock, when he
md dilTiculty in breathing. After
reatment he felt better and returnd
to bed.
Mrs. Roosevelt looked in to see
iow he was sleeping at 2 o'clock this
norning. He then appeared normal.
Two hours later James Amos, an old
legro servant of the family, formery
with them at the White House,
hought that there was something
vrong with the manner in which Col nel
Roosevel was breathing. Amos
lad been placed in the next room to
ieep a close watch over Colonel Rooicvelt,
and went at once to the bedlide
lie was alarmed at the hollow
ound of his breathing and summoned
he trained nurse. When she arivd,
the breathing had stopped. I)r.
Jeorge W. Fuller, of Oyster Hay, the
'ainily physician, was summoned, and
"ound that life had left the body a
"ew minutes before.
Oyster Hay, Jan 7.?^Theodore
Roosevelt will be buried here tomorrow
as a plain American citizen
and not as a former president of the
United States, in accordance with his
nvn wishes. His body will be laid

PRESIDENT RETURNS TO
PARIS FROM ITALY
Puris, Jan. 7?President Wilson
has completed his swing through England
and Italy, returning to Paris at
10 o'clock this morning. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson and Miss
Margaret Wilson.
The President is ready for the first
gathering of the premiers and statesmen
of the entente powers, and the
informal conference will begin on
Thursday or Friday.
What it calls the American plan
for a league of nations is outlined
to-day by the Iiondon Daily Mail.
'I he paper says the British government
not only has accepted the plan,
but is prepared to go much further.
London, Jan. 5.?Last week witnessed
a strong general demand from
influential British newspapers, regardless
of politics, for the prompt
meeting of the Peace Conference and
prompt action to stem the tide of
chaos threatening Germany because
of the introduction of Bolshevism.
There is a dawning recognition that
if anarchy seizes Central Europe the
decisions of the Peace Conference in
drawing boundaries and levying indemnities
can be enforced only
through military control by the Allies,
otherwise becoming merely "scraps
of paper."
The chief desire of the British people
is to have the army demobilized
as quickly as possible. The labor elements,
in particular, oppose the retention
of a large conscripted army
for the policing of foreign territories,
with the possibility of being drawn
into conflicts with their people. The
Sunday Observer, under the heading
"A Warning," gives prominence
to tho following:
"The Allies are in some danger of
precipitating in Germany what they
should well wish to avoid. They are
perfectly entitled to insist upon the
disbandment of the army. They are
also perfectly entitled to maintain the
full right of blockade Hut simultaneously
to empty millions of men
into civiliun life and to exclude the
raw materials which alone can give
them employment is the most rapid
process for making Bolshevists that
has been discovered.
"Unemployment and Bolshevism
soon establish a vicious circle of mutual
stimulation, and It hus already
begun to operate in Germany upon
a very serious scale. Nothing could
be more calculated in thut country to
frustrate the appearance of an authentic
government with which peace
might be concluded."
The warning of The Observer is
in line with the growing belief that
the most urgent business now before
the conquering nations is to restore
the conquered nations and all of Central
Europe to a status of order and
normal living, or something as near
to this as possible.
LIEUT. DANIEL O. SPENCER
KILLED IN ACTION
Cheraw, Jan. It.?Mrs. C. R. Spencer
hus received official information
that her son, Lieut. Daniel C). Spencer,
was killed in action in France on
October 'J 1, 1'JIK.
Lieutenant Spencer attended tho
first training camp at Fort Oglethorpe
and after receiving his commission
volunteered for immediate
service overseas and was nt once sent
1 to France, arriving there about October
1, 1017. After completing his
training in France he was appointed
as instructor in one of the largest
army schools in Franc,, and remained
at this work until about the middle
of May l'JIX, when he was assigned
to the Thirty-eighti Regiment
of Infantry, Third Division, where ho
remained in activc service until thu
day he was killed. The Third I)i\ ision,
regular army, was engaged in
continuous service up to the signing
of the armistic(. and was in a number
of most important engagements. It
took an active part in the first allied
counteroffensive, beginning about
July IX, l'.UX, when the Kheims-Soissons
salient was wiped out, since
wnicn me Allies were never stopped.
Lieutenant Spencer was seriously
passed toward the close of this offensive,
hut after a few weeks in a
hospital was returned to his company
and saw continuous fighting
from that time up to the time of his
death. He was not quite 24 years
old when he was killed nnd his untimely
death is a (freat blow to his
friends and relatives in Cheraw and
throughout the State.
Lieutenant Spencer was the first
officer from Chesterfield county to
arrive in France, and was the youngest
officer from this county to ho
