placed: but under the new rule that
will be a matter for the voters. After
a majority of the voters of a township
shall have spoken it will be up to the
balance of the people to hold tneir
peace.
1t will be argued and with consider
able force too, that the new rule will
have tendency to cheaper the office OF
township supervisor. The theory is
that while men who have no taste OF
inclination for political strife are will
ling enough to take the office by ap-
pointment they will not go into
scramble for it. This will leave the
Icompetition largely to people who will
seek the positions mainly because OF
the pay and precedence that attach. II
this does happen, the people may look
out for it, that the record made by the
road supervisors during the past few
years will not be maintained for a great
while longer. But it will be up to the
public to guard against this and the
way to guard against 1t is by insisting
upon the candidacy of men who are
efficient and competent and by support
ing such men not only in the primary
but in the discharge Of their official du-
ties afterward.

mission board. Mr.. Moore Is an eX
pert Of recognized ability on subjects
connected with all phases Of Sunday
school work and has been present at
each session Of the convention so far
held. On Tuesday the preparation Of
a Teacher" was the principal subject
discussed and while the teachers pres
ent received many valuable sugges-
tions, the fact that many others who
were not present to get the benefits
were absent, was deplored by those
who realized what they had missed. 1t
was generally agreed that the most Sc
rious drawback to the work of the Sun
day school was the deplorable fact that
the average individual who Is charged
with the duty and given the privilege
of standing before Sunday school each
week seems to have little conception Of
the great responsibility involved and
goes about the work in a perfunctory
manner. often going before their class
es without any noticeable preparation,
and this in the face Of the fact that
that never in the history Of organized
Sunday school work have the facilities
for proper preparation, in the way OF

ent.
On Wednesday morning, 1.-The SUM-
day School Organization" under the
following headings, was discussed:
1.-The Superintendent and His Teach
Iers," THE Superintendent and His
officers" THE Superintendent Between
Sessions of the School," and each
phase Of the subject was discussed in
a way calculated to magnify the neces-
sity of each successful school having a
wide-awake superintendent who had
his heart in the work, was always up
to- date, and who always began the ex-
ercises at the appointed minute for be-
ginning and also concluded on time.
The fact was also stressed that 1t was
of vital Importance that teachers al
ways be prompt in their attendance.
The convention was entertained by
the Flint Hill congregation with that
delightful hospitality that has always
been characteristic Of the community
and which causes each individual who
has once partaken of it to be sure to
go back whenever opportunity offers.
The convention adjourned on Wednes-
day afternoon to meet with the West
End Baptist church, Rock Hill, on
Tuesday after the second Sunday In
May, 1913.

Township Supervisors,

While we are unable to see that the
plan of recommending township road
supervisors is calculated to insure any
better men than have been secured un-
der the appointive system, it will have
to be admitted that the primary cleo
tion plan of recommending these Of
ficials is at least more democratic than
the present method.
That the nine men who hold these
positions in the respective townships at
the present time constitute very satis-
factory selections, we do not hesitate to
say, and we are doubtful as to wheth-
er it is possible for the primary cleo
tion plan to improve on the situation
from the standpoint of competency and
deficiency. But while competency and
efficiency are very important, they are
not everything. There is nothing sc
important as absolute assurance that
whoever holds any Office is the un-
questioned choice of a majority of the
people whom he represents or for whom
he acts.
Every citizen who has a reasonably
fair conception of his duty and re-
sponsibility to his fellow citizens real
ICES that the first and most important
consideration in voting for a candidate
for any office is that candidates quail
fications for the office to be filled. 1t is
pretty safe to assume that this is the
rule that governs most people in the
casting of their ballots. That there are
other considerations is not to be dis
puted but they are the exception rath-
er than the rule. 1t is also a fact that
Imajorities often make mistakes and
prefer men of less qualifications to men
of greater qualifications; but this is no
argument against majority rule for in
nine cases out of ten such mistakes are
realized sooner or later and corrected.
There are among the township su-
pervisors at present some excellent
men-men who would fill any office at
the disposition of the people of the
county, at least as creditably as such
offices are being filled now, and we
Iwould dislike to see these men dis

BAPTIST S. S. CONVENTION.

The fourth annual session of the
York Baptist Sunday school convention
was held with Flint Hill church, in
Fort Mill township on last Tuesday and
Wednesday. There were delegates pres
ent representing the Sunday schools of
all the churches in the York Baptist
association, and taken altogether the
convention was, in some respects one
of the very best vet held. After devo-
tional exercises on Tuesday morning
the body organized by re-electing the
officers who served during the last reg
ular convention at Glover, in May Of
last year, as follows: President, A. F..
Willis, Rock Hill secretary, Jackson
Hamilton, Fort Mill; treasurer S. @.
Garrison, Fort Mill.
Although several of the speakers to
whom subjects had been assigned in
the programme were absent, other
speakers were substituted and each
subject was considered in an interest
ing manner. An especially interesting
feature of the convention was the talks
made on various subjects by Rev. ]. y.

Sunday school department of the state

this morning in a fitting manner under
the direction Of the Winnie Davis
chapter, U. D. c., and in accordance
with the programme as published In
The Enquirer of last Friday. The ad-
dress of the occasion was delivered by
Prof. ]. w. Thomson Of Winthrop, and
his subject was the superior courage,
chivalry and democracy of the old
south. The High school company fur
nished the military feature of the oc-
casion, and made a most creditable ap-
pearance. The exercises Of the morning
were concluded with a salute of three
volleys.

idea of asserting that a political oppo-
