During the last few years we huve improved, however, and in a few more mav make such strides as Rock Hill has done.

McCrady, in his history of South Carolina, in speaking of the superstitious and queer ideas of the people during the early history of the State, says that "In Fairfield County, in this State, witches abounded." In these enlightened and civilized days it seems almost incomprehensible that sensible people could be so ignorant. It is bard, too, to realize that onr forefathers, the Men who lived just where we now live, should have feared tbe "evil eye" and lived in dread of some innocent old woman.
