An Important Ruling.
At the last term of cur court ]
w. DeVore Esq, of our local bar
raised the point i'll the case of th'
State against Whitlock that
married woman had the lega
right to testify in behalf of he
husband in a criminal case. l
has been held by most if not all o
the circuit judges as well as tn
bar of the State that married
woman had no such right in th'
courts. Mr.. DeVore, however
maintained his point with 30 mucl
legal backing that Judge Aldricl
reversed his own decision in thi
same case and held that marrie'
women can testify in cases wher'
their husbands are involved OF
the criminal side Of the court. Th
MARI led women of Edgefeld ow

Adair tells of silver mine which
was operated by gang of counter
feiters. Logan adds that all traces
of this mine, like many others in
the same region, have been lost,
Lawson states that from time
immemorial the Indians were
acquainted with valuable mines of
gold and silver in upper Carolina,
but that they concealed the fact
for fear their lands would be settled
by the whites. Cox tells of a
quicksilver mine used by the
Indians, the site of which cannot
now be found. Mills says that as
late as 1915 the Indians were
working a very rich silver mine,
the location of which they carefully
concealed from the whites. It is
we'll known fact that the Indians
mined their lead somewhere in
this region, and traces of othe,
minerals are frequently found.
Logan's History of Upper South
Carolina, written in 1859, tells Of
an ancient silver mine, which was
once worked, near the site of ole
Rock Church, on Coronaka Creek
in this county. Tradition says thai
it was discovered by band who
had probably deserted from De
Soto's camp on the Savannah River
The entire party, except two, were
massacred by tie Indians, who
'.threw the entire mass of the &C.
cursed metal they had raised back
into the mine, and SO completely
restored the spot to its primitive
aspect that no vigilance or skill Of
civilized men has since availed tc

precious secret doubtless passed
