In fact, the discovery that there ni were no real supporters of the name S in Chesterfield, except the few play- n< rs and those dirortlv inlere.-.ld in the ri forming of a club, only strengthened hi the determination of this small cot- so v'rie to have an organization. ni Plans are now well under way and practice will begin before the pres- pi ent week is over. A game or two will hi be played next week to got a line on t< the merits of the players assembled tl md then some real games with regu- p' lar teams will bb announced. ni It is rather late in th season to get bi players regularly, but the best that ni can be done at this late day will be to in the nature of short engagements th with star players to help out in big in games. Two players from Kershaw th will arrive in town Friday. Thornwell th Sowed will be on hand for some of the games as will First baseman cr Heath, of Charlotte. Arthur Rivers di and Henry Douglass will be regular b< members and Rudolph Hursey, who bits lately developed into a good all st round amateur at the Citadel, will ic have a position in the outfield. w Other players are being rounded ft up and games will be scheduled as si voon its the team considers itself in tc shape to tackle the clubs already ci playing in this vicinity. M V 1 ALL TEACHERS ENGAGED la pt FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR C Prof. MoKinny has signed con- ei tracts for another term as Superintendent of the Chesterfield High t i< School. There ha i been some doubt as z<i to Prof. McKinny's returning for another term and considerable anxiety C< was felt on this account, as his ad- le ministration hud been so eminently C< satisfactory that a change would ni hnve been most undesirable. Prof. McICinny has engaged all the teach- to ers, new and old and the list will be dr published shortly. gsi Miss Mattie Gaddy, who for sev- Ss eral years has had charge of the st classes in music has tendered her res- ly inflation and will not return to Ches- ja terfield in the fall.

Franklin I). Rooscvelr.of New York, was then made the paity's candidate for vice-president. 1 James M. Cox is one of the l ie men of the day. F >r three consecutive ' terms he has been elected Governor of his native State, Ohio, by the people of thai commonwealth. He has put ' many reforms into effect in the State 1 that have endeared him to Irs people 1 and have attracted the attention of the whole country. Mr. Cox is known as a fearless, independent and progressive Democrat. He is-bossed by no man or set of men. ( He has been a staunch supporter of the Wilson Administration. His rec- , ord is clean, elcarcut and there can be | no digging up of unpleasant past history; three successful campaigns in ( Ohio having disclosed all there is to disclose. The principal fight waged on Mr. Cox was due to his expressed views on the prohibition question. lie had expressed himself as favorable , to beers and light wines, but as there is no mention in the platform of the prohibition question. Mr. Cox's preference in tliis regard will be a pureIf iwnviintil iiiwi .?? *#! campaign as an issue. Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant | secretary of the Navy, who was ac- , claimed vice-presidential candidate, is ( a native of New York state, and, al- | though a comparatively younjr man, has an established record for clean . politics. The nomination of Cox and Roose- ( vclt seems to have met with the ap- j proval of all factions til ^he Deiiiocrntie-party and shoub+f therefore, be assured of election. William Jeninprs Bryan seems to be then only disappointed "democrat," aside front candidates so far heard from. He expresad himself as de- j jected with his "heart in the pvrsive." This is the lirst Democratic Convention in many years in which Mr. Bryan has hud no voice. ILLITERACY FIGURES IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY ' The Stale Department of Education and The Illiteracy Commission ace making vigorous efforts to refine illiteracy in Sou'h Carolina during the summer. The Department of Education calls particular attention to the figures in Chesterfield County. According to tables compiled from statistics there are 270,000 persons over ton years of ago in this State who cannot read and write. The HMO census figures report 5,287 illiterates in this county. Of the white population nearly 20 per cent, were illiterate, while over id per cent, of the negroes could not write their names. The total white <inu uiac'K uuiviiicy in uiv couuiy vmsi more than 2H per cent. In comparison with other counties in the State Chesterfield County ranks thirtieth in the scale of literacy The table compile.! by the State Superintendent of Education from the Democratic Club rolls of 1916 give startling facts. In thai year 1!?,K78 men voted in the State who signed their names to the club rolls with a cross mark. In Chesterfield County o,863 Ion :ej?istered, more than 1,0(1(1 of them making tin ir marks. When compared with other counties of the Stale Chesterfield County ranks thirty-ninth in literacy anions its voters. Tiie Illiteracy Commission asks hat each person who knows an illiterate teach one or more of ths unfortunates l i at least wtite his or her own name. The !ir*t step toward progress is education. Without education there can be no progress along any of the lines that progress is so i.aoiy needed in this county, Good schools, sanitation, trood roads and p.ood livnjj conditions are opposed only these who have not had the advantages of education.
