Ponrpspritetive ! 1 r urcigii AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1922 REMEDY THE EVIL The State in its issue of today calls attention to the fact that mem/bers and attaches of the Gen eral Assemlbly are often elected to offices of trust and honor in the commonwealth, and maintains that the practice of the members in vot ing" for one of their number, or for those who live about the state huse and can help politically, is disgusting. It is stated that a sec ond rate lawyer, a% member of the lower house, may easily defeat the leader of the bar in the state. ? Only the other clay The State' f; complained 'Of the results of se- j E lectipg candidates by the primary.' a It was then asserted in- effect that' n a second raffe politician, who, w ' knows how to harangue the people,' n stands a better chance of being C governor, for instance, than the E . best equipped man hrthe state, for tl the verj*ffood reason that the latter generally has "none of the bogus qualities" which take with the voters. T The complaint .has some merit in it, though we are not prepared to! say that better results would ib? n obtained in the selection of judges s and ot^her officers if elections were ^ had in -some other way; or if the v members themselves were not al- ' lrmTpH fn mn. Tf the member could ^ not run while a member, he could n ^ stay out for a term and try his ^ hand (after having become well | a acquainted with the brethren) or,s he could run his candidate, and the r ' h fihal results we fear would not be more satisfactory. If the governor, h appointed the judges we believe ^t btetter results would ibe had, but: " there are governors and governors. I <AlI schemes will develop weak' * ' v , places. * We are, however, of the opinion ^ that except for local officers per-1 ^ haps, there is no scheme for select-' j. ing important officers which could ^ be less satisfactory than the pri mary. If it has proved of any bene- j > ^ a- i-i-- ' i np w ure people ui uic avacc vrt: ^ have not heard of it. The men tak- j g en as a'whole who naive T>een pro- ( ^ moted to*political office fey it will ^ not compare favorably with those who preceded them. But the worst v fault with the primary is that it .< makes too much of politic^, it ^ keeps the people stirrea up into fauctions, and keeps them interested , in -matters of state when they * c should*be interested in matters of . more importance. L h If The State desires to father a ^ movanent to get rid of primary ^ elections, we are with it. We be lieve that while conventions may h 'promlote "rings," these creatures ^ are greatly to be desired as com- t pared with primary elections in ^ South Carolina, or elsewhere. RETALIATION. j t 4 Over in Spartanburg Billy Sunday j ^ continues his meeting and the inter- j ^ ? est continues to grow.. One of the contributing causes to the*great suc cess of the meeting has been and is the publicity given it by Deacon Hemphill in the Spartanburg Jour nal. Mr. Sunday too received greater inspiration for the preaching of the j p Word by his trip to Due West, for! which he is again indebted to the ^ deacon. And it was on this trip too jj that the deacon pointed out all the places where his sweethearts had liv ed, and it was at the Erskine audi.to rium that Mr. Sunday was so "hand-1 somely" introduced by this same' friend and admirer, an introduction. 1 which put him in proper standing t with the only people. iF After all of that it seems just. a s little to be Regretted that in the course of the -meeting Mr. Sunday had to preach a sermon in condemn- g ... * N !. .. : 'j. / ' 'V. , V.: .'_L ation of the deacon's three principal I musemeafcs?card-playing, dancing r nd attending leg shows.

That descrip ive phrase many years ago was a/p ilied to the metropolis of South Carolina by a seer reseding in Co umibia and whose persevering uso f it, in Rome, Paris, Oxford, Bos on, Columbia and other centers ias given it a vogue % throughout he Western world.

SHARK GETS SWIMMER housands of Spectators See Tragedy London, Feb. \5.?While swim ling in the sea at Coogee, a sea ide resort near Sydney, Australia, lichael Cjogfrlan, aged 18 years, fas attacked "by a shark and fatal y bitten, says a Renter dispatch rom Sydney. His arms r were al ?ost severed. A returned soldier, aok Chalmers, swam to the rescu'e nd dragged Coghlan from the hark's jaws. Other swimmers car ied Coghlan out of the water, but e died on the Iboach: Thousands of lorrified spectators witnessed the ragedy. LOU TELLEGEN^ COMING There are a few actors living to lay, who can lay claim to such per ect mastery of thedr art as Lou ?ellegen, who on Thursday night February 9, will present himself in person) and his own company it the Opera House, Abbeville, in a nonster revival of his greatest Lmetrican uccess, "Blind Youth" : comedy drama in three acts mtten by Willard Mack and Mr ["elegen, and which enjoyed a theatre in New York Gity, and irhich'spent the balance of that eason of its tremendous success >etween the two cities of Boston nd -Chicago. Since his' first appearance in this wuuvij ov.Tttoi j vaio agv ?o iuuu ag man with Madam Sarah * Bern aj-dt, Mr; Tellegen has tieen seen n several * plays .widely directed rom each other, in each and every ne of th characters of which, he as given an interpretation that as earned for him a reputation of he most enviable sort, and the ad miration of every theatregoer in he land. Tn "Blind Youth" he assumes he characters of a young artist of Yanco-Almerican Ibirth,, who left o his own resources, fails to dis inguish between fakes and genu ne love; he is guided by his im iulses rather than his reason in be towing his affections, and the mis ake brings as usual, sorry conse luences; his regeneration, how vex*, brings great and lasting hap liness. Thp nlflv is not one. nf the mor-l lid kind; on the contrary, it is life ike, because it is full of ro mance, laughter and love, the dm iulse of the story being to the joy f life*.

One of the lost promising developments in his connection is the conversion f the well known Haile gold mine, ear Kershaw, S. C;, in to a pyrite line. This mine has been the lai^ st single producer of gold in the Appalachian region. It was success ally worked for gold from 1830 to 908 and produced during that pe iod $3,500,000 in gold. Much of lie gold was mined from huge pen pits 200 fe.et in depth. The mine is described !n bulletin 25-F of tho United States geologi al survey department of the in jrior, a short paper by Frank C. hrader. The paper contains a map f the camp, ehoWing the distribu ion of the ores, rocTcs and work lgs. *The pyrito ore in sight at his mine amounted to about 100, 00 tons, and the mine was esti lated to contain 600,000 tons, toich is about half the quantity nnually used by the United States nd more than the annual domestic roduction.
