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

ilied to the metropolis of South

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*.

Washington, Feb. 5.?rDurlng
tie world war it became neces&afy
3 examine and estimate American
omestic ore reserves with a view
f supplying the increased demand
or certain mineral ' products,
mong them sulphuric acid, which
t made from pyrite. 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. The mine not only

which is a sufficient recommenda
tion for the people of Aibbeville.
S . i '
Peasants of those countries where
black bread is eaten usually have
good teeth. f
, hut is favorably situated for the
use of its- pyrite in the manufacture
, of fertilize** for use in'the South,
, where the demand for sulphuric
, acid' is steadily increasing.
; The ore now mined consists of
. pyrite abundantly diffused through
. a gangue of sericite and quartz.
, The pyrite is very fine grained and
r relatively pure% It increases in
i amount with depth and extends be
low the deepest . workings, whose
depth is 350 feet. In exploiting it
test drill holes are sunk nearly to
that depth.
