We have no quarrel with State Su-
perintendent of Education Swearingen.
We think he was the right man in the
right place at the right time, and that
he has performed a splendid service
that could not have been performed
so we'll by any other man. We do not
mean by that that we think he was
the ablest or brainest man to be found;
but owing to his surroundings, the in
fluence behind him and his afflictiOn,
he was able TO formulate and carry out
policies, which policies though they
may have been formulated as ably or
even more ably by others could not
have been carried out by or through
any other one man. But now we are
inclined to think ii is about time for Il
change. South Carolina is making tre-
mendouSly increased appropriations for
educational purposes. We are not will
ing To say that these appropriations are
too large. Indeed it may be that they
should be even larger. But that there
are others who might be able to direct
better, more able and efficient diStri-
button, we have very little doubt. A
change in the head of the educational
department at this time might very

There is large acreage of grassy

Yorkville Enquirer has been compli-

informed about such matters say this
is an unusually early date.
A letter from a wealthy friend in an
other city, inquiring about certain gold
mining propertiessin York county, re-
minds us that there has been very lit
tie doing along mining or prospecting
lines in this section since along about
the beginning of the World war.
There was some mining activity going
on in the county about the time the
war broke out; but it was not long un-
til it was suspended. That there is
gold in York county, and plenty Of it,
is the testimony Of all the experts and
near experts, interested or disinterest-
ed, who have ever made Investigations.
And it is a fact that many people in
times past have made good money
panning gold in the branches of the
northern and western sections; but
that anybody has ever realized any
considerable fortune at either panning
or digging, is not matter of authentic
record. 1t is fact, however, that
there is to be found in Broad River
Bethel and Kings Mountain townships
as much evidence Of prospecting work
as Is to be found in any similar area
Ill SullloIllld. II Is d Hltlllcl
Of tradition, pretty well confirmed, that
John w. Mackey, of Bonanza fame,
once welded the pick, shovel and pan
of miner in this county, and that he
operated to some extent in what is
now known as the Wallace mine, about
five miles northeast of Yorkville. This
was in 1S4S, and when the news of the
great strike of 1S49 in California
reached here, Mackey hooked his tools.
in order to get away. Among the more
or less well known mining properties
of former and recent years are the
Jonathan Moore mine, the Magnolia
mine, the Martin mine, the Schlegcl-
mich mine, the Ferguson mine, the
Big Wilson mine, the Little Wilson
mine, the Wallace mine, the Mary cop
per mine, the Nanny Mountain mine,
etc, etc. Yes, there is gold in York
of it. 1t has always
been tremendous lure and it will al
ways continue to be lure: but as to
whether anybody will ever get any
thing out of it We'll, if the gold
miner were less optimistic than he is
there would not be nearly so much
gold in the world as there is!

why did you marry him?"

his Jokes was to realize that It was
a very good joke indeed. and that
she was a very good wife. Nobody
could accuse her Of ever having
shown a sign of irritation even when
Charles was at his most .boisterous
and his most genial. The way her
face emptied of all expression when
he said "the Missus." or my old
GAL" was more eloquent than any
comment. She never shrugged her
shoulders or looked round for pity.
She was an artist.
Rosemary had refreshed her ire
mendously. It was q long time since
she had talked about herself to such
a sympathitic audience-she was al

It was q very long time indeed since
