We have known some Of our con-
temporaries and others, from time to
time to undertake to throw off on Mr..
Schwrar, Of the Rock Hill Record on
the ground tnat he is Yankee" The
only object we can see to such filings
is that those who make them seem to
think that the people they make them
to have no more sense than to be pre-
JUDGED thereby AS matter of fact,

the south, and the only foundation for
calling him a Yankee is based on the
circumstance of his having published
a newspaper in Pennsylvania for six
years. But all this is Of no cOnse-
quence True manhood and loyalty to
high principles are Of more conse-
quence than geography of birthplace.
There is no monopoly Of them either
north or south We have known Mr..
Schwarar to be rather far afield at
times, because of unfamiliarity with
local history and traditions, and that
Is something that is liable to happen
to any newcomer, whether he halls
from Maine or Texas: but we have
never yet known this gentleman to try
to maintain even a doubtful position,
after he has been accurately informed
as to the facts.
IN the CeaIn Oh rev. w. u. EWdIl,
the people Of Yorkville have sustained
a loss, the extent of which seems be-
yond measurement. Coming here q
stranger four and a half years ago,
Mr.. Ewart at once began 10 grow not
only upon his particular congregation;
but upon the town and the surround
ing community. AS time revealed the
beauties of his character, all began to
appreciate him not only as a most low
able pastor and able preacher, but as
the highest type Of Christian gentle
man. BY his conduct in his daily
walks he unconsciouSly attracted the
confidence, love and esteem Of all with
whom he came in contact There Is
but little to be risked in the statement
that no man who ever lived in the
town reached higher position in the
regard Of all the people, irrespective Of
social or business position, or Of de-
nominational affiliation. He was as
Christ told his disciples to be, as wise
as a serpent and as harmless as dove
He preached the gospel fearlessly, with
inspiration, power and effect. and con-
cerned himself with little II anything
else than his duty to his God and
his fellow man. People are asking
why such a man should be cut down
in the full bloom Of IS usefulness; but
there can be no answer save that
which this great and good man him
self would have given, God doeth all
things for the best" The removal Of
Mr.. Ewart leaves a distressing void in
his family, in his congregation and in
the community, and all are united in
the deepest sorrow.
