QoaV* ills .still a merry old soul, even if lt ?i WEALTH |lf THESE OLD HILLS There lg wealth In these old bills of Anderson county. The good far mers long since have fond that out. But there ls another kind of wealth, the kind that la to be found in dig ging for gold. Some time ago we told ot the /lading pf. white sanohlres, ?tones [th ?} have every;appeara)p|ce of Hie diamond. Some, of .these ' bring good prices. In the section of country along the |||ne between Abbeville and Anderson'there ifs a targe deposit-of u fine grade ot amethysts. * ., Hut what tia? sabre, important, there is gold in the hills of the?e two coun ties. By gold mining the people have the'idea or .'stumbling upon nuggets, digging away for months perhaps and finding nothing and then all of a sud den coming upon wealth by accident. But .that is ono kind ot gold mining which is becoming obsolete In this country. The gold in this section is not in pockets or In nuggets, and it la pos sible' that no man would become wealthy by delving for gold in that manner. It requires work to produce gold just aa it does to produce crops. But iff ft can be produced by effort, why should it not be done? Because wo cannot prodv. ce Egyptian cotton In thia section is no reason why some kind of cotton should not pe produced. J We have been told that Mr., Edison bas turon ted a way for grinding trie gold oat; of rocka that will reduce the cdst to a minimum. If this .be, the case, ijt ' would I greatly promote Abe wealth of this section. 'There are'in deed only certain localities where gold may be' found, but these are not now given to agriculture, and if it la pos sible to convert the rocky old hillsides tbs T? 65iciM portion ' of * South . Caro lina into gold producing Iands.lt would be doubling assets. We have been tniA Kv ??.2rCi!sil TZ.?Z.ZTZ that Z~ZZ7Z of . the lands could make more ont of a systematic, digging than they could out of 16 cents cotton with a 15,000, 000 bale crop at a bale and a half to tho acre. 1 That does not sound much Ilka a bonanza in gold mining, but lt would 'add to the .wealth-of thc country, to re claim what is dormant and useless. -._-: ?????,-??

"tfpi ^ ayt?bd ' and, the &er?;. layman may think for himself. Originally education consisted of some knowledge -lt the anci??t liter ature, and waa such an acqutrment aa enabled one to lay claim to what wits called culture. Subsequently mathe m?rai;wi? science were added s?? mind trainers; that ls, those brav?mes were not taught in their relation to p??cUca> prObiOuia, ns Cetrv?iu jin?h metlca in use today attest; but. o.t the contrary? the acholara disdained to apply themselves to the po'rplexttioi of the commonplace and continufctI?4la?? exclusive studlea. This training, desi gu ed for the aris t?crata of old, waa fonnd inapplicable to the complex requirements of mod ern Ufr, so technical schools were es tablished, and right -warmly did the old seats of learning decry thc inno vation; but In timo the public mind I accepted the technical school and de f?!tBi!*id tho ?nclusi?n;bf'app?lca fs?i' once lt* any course claiming to he use ful for thoso not contemplating lov^'/mal life. So far have we gOn^l that today w? believe that education j Is inapplicablewhich does not ac quaint the student with, the best means ot solving the elementary prob-, penni, with enough practical science to r appreciate the marvelous d?/r.o.v i ment about us. Let us not be understood aa under?, valuing literary and philosophic train ing The mere sciontiat ia as poor a j specimen of educational development as tho one-sided man ot philosophy.
