Swearingen has withdrawn from the race for governor and entered the race for reelection as state superintendent of education, 3 pU^I 11Uil IXC xioo iivivi XVA V44v ^- . fourteen years, and a position which he fills with marked ability and discrimination. We have no doubt in the world that he is by long and far the best informed man, or woman either, for that matter, on the school situation in South Carolina, and he is familiar with the problems that are pressing for solution at this time, and we felt from the beginning that it was unfortunate that he had decided to enter the race for governor. And, as we have heretofore remarked, the position of state superintendent of education is by far the most important office in the state at this time, and it takes a whole lot bigger man to fill it than is necessary in the governor's office, that is to fill it as it should be, and as the problems that confront us now, demand that it shall be filled, if we are to keep our forward step. i Keep your eye on Geo. K. Laney in this race for governor. The Herald and News is not in politics this year, but we just give you that hint if you desire to keep up with the trend as the campaign develops. The American Railway association has on a campaign to avoid accidents at crossings, and the slogan is "Cross Crossings Cautiously," and it is a good slogan and should be observed by all motorists, but some of them do not do anything cautiously. They do not even give you any road where the road is wide enough for both to havv plenty. And they pass you without giving the signal. But of course every one should be cautious at all crossings of railroads. With the noise of the auto it is very easy ior a train to be coming without the driver of the car hearing it, and therefore the 'best way to be cautious is to stop, look and listen before driving up on the railroad track. PROF. CHRIS W. WELCH The Herald and News of last Tuesday carried a brief announcement of the death of Prof. Welch. We are printing today fuller details of his illness and death and also an editorial tribute from the Houston Post. The passing of Prof. Welch removes one of the older boys of Newberry college who were here during c+mopcrHnsr davs of the college and 11 it OWi. o v severs a friendship made and cemented during the days of our college life, and such friendships are always true and lasting, even though the duties of life lead us in different directions and in fields of labor far apart. Chris Welch was a hightoned honorable boy in college and retained^these high ideals all through his life. He exempplified that Southern chivalry which goes to make the fine old Southern gentleman, and there never has been and never will be again a higher type of man. We had seen but little of him for twenty years or more, but when he was here two years ago he was the same Chris Welch of the other days, though broken in health. He graduated with the first honor of his * J :* "'Of * rpmarkfl hi V C12!jS, <1(1 U it naj u . v strong class, as the record of the men who composed it will testify. I And just here we can not restrain a little reminiscence. There were only seven in the class, and it was considered a very large class in those days, and it was the largest class . graduated from the' college to that time. All of them made good, and the longevity of the class is a good Tecord. Up to a year ago there had been only one death among the seven, and that occurred only a few years after graduation. For fortythree years the class had been spared to do life's battles, and right well did they perform their duties. There was J. Eusebius Beley, a young Luther-: an minister of great promise, who first studied medicine and practiced for a year, who was the first to pars some thirty-five years ago, while serving as pastor of a charge down in Lexington county. Then there were the two Daniel boys, W. W. and J. W., both eminent and great preachers in the Methodist church. W. W. died only about a year ago, and was for many years the most able president of the Columbia college. Walter is ranked, and properly so, as among the great preachers of the Methodist church, and he is also an ' author of books of no mean merit. Col. John F. Hobbs, a publisher and ~J/-vf Mow Vnrlr Viae niflHc u <mr? trui tui vj. iivfi y ***" ? , cess. There was S. 0. Kaminer whoj was to be the business man of the [ class and who for everal years conducted a mercantile" business successfully at Lexington, and whom we un-i dertand is living in Florida. And Edward P. Aull who became an engineer and afterward in the cotton seed oil business, has succeeded and lives in New Mexico. He and his wife I were on a visit to South Carolina last J year. And Chris Welch, seven in all j and six of them lived for forty-two! ??V? n'ft/sv loavi*i(r cnl 1 pcro ariH TOUr V C d 13 ax tti IV.U1 are still living. Will Daniel and: Welch and Hobbs while in college! planned to be lawyers, and oni> ! Hobbs was admitted to the practice I of the profession. So you can never J tell where the path will lead, howe'erl well you plan as a college boy. Welch was a born teacher and lead-, er, and somehow we always felt that he was directed in the right path as to ; a profession. His first school was at Spring Hill in Lexington county, and he was the only teacher. A little red school house on the hill beside the road. But a teacher inside, and that made, the school. He sent us a pen sketch of the school house while he was teaching, and we have it yet. He then came to Prosperity and was xrvoiNr fU -FnnnHpr of the Prosperity i COilJ wuv high school. The old wood school "house that stood near the C., N. & L. depot at Prosperity was put up while he was teaching at this place, and was really the first forward step made by the people of this community in the matter of education. He had a. fine school with two or three assie-. tants. He published a catalogue and we remember very well that the motto of the school was, "Education is the Hope of Our Country." It was true then and is now. From Prosperity Welch came to the professorship of mathematics in. Newberry college, and from here he went to Texas as principal of the high school in Houston, and then he came back to take a chair of mathematics in Clemson and thence back to Texas where he made such a success of his private school. We remember very distinctly ? Sunday morning in the early summer some twenty-five years ago, that Chris and his inter esting family were living with Dr. and Mrs. Peter Robertson in the old Hunter home where the handsome residence of Mr. Geo. W. Summer now stands, and we took a stroll down the railroad toward where the Mollohon mill is now, and we were talking about what he should do. He had just resigned the year before the professorship at Clemson. I remember that I said to him, that what he should do was to go to Texas and open a private school and prepare young men for college, and that with his experience and his record as a teacher he would have no difficulty in getting as many boys as he could handle, if he would only make his , tuition charges large enough to attract men who had money. He said he did not have the money to go to Texas. I said borrow it. Whether he borrowed it or* not he went and the result was the fine private school he built up. Welch was a born teacher. He had ability to-convey to others the knowledge he himself had, so that the other could understand it, and that is what is necessary in the teacher. He was still a young man and to the human vision it seems strange that he should be stricken in the midst of his usefulness. but it is for some wise pur pcse in the plans of the All-Wise Ruler of the universe. We must feel that it is all. for the best and realize that somewhere the sun is shining and sometime it will be morning. "It's hard to do, I reckon?with the mist around your eyes, And not a star a-shinin' in the midnight of the skies! But?think! The light is somewhere, on the hills of life." My sympathies go out to the wife who has trod the pathway with him all the years, through the hard times and the good times, and to the children, out you have been blessed beyond that of many families in that there has been no vacant chair around the hearthstone all the many days of the journey.

I am planning at this writing to attend the State Press association at Myrtle Beach and it meets on Wednesday morning and I will leave on Friday in time to be home by Saturday j morning. I am making this state-: ment here so that if there should be any one desiring to have business with the county superintendent of education** he may govern himself accordingly. It is true I am out of the office at the court house a good deal when I am in the county, but when-' i i ever this happens I am in the county or somewhere on business for the schools. I do not stay in the office when I have work to do outside. I nave not taken but two days since I took charge (=f the office in September, 1920, and those two days were on the trip to Winston-Salem a short time ago. j I After Monday no more school claims will be approved until after the first of July even if there should be money to pay them. My books must correspond with the books of the county treasurer and we have adopted this date for the last approval so that there may not be any C1&III1S UUl5liiiiUiiJ^ appiuvcu anu iAv/C| paid by the treasurer. In some of the districts I do not known whether we can pay any more or not until the treasurer can tell how much tax has been paid. The truth is I do not know how much tax has been paid in any district and therefore can not tell how the finances of any district stand. It will take some time for the treasurer to make out his executions and know how much to credit to the district. Until this is done it will be impossible for me to do more than estimate the income of any districtIt is mighty bad but it is no fault of the treasurer or the superintendent of education. My books must close on June 30. E. H. A. MARRIAGE OF MISS WALLACE AND MR. R. D.

His death was not expected, for in recent weeks he had greatly improved, and he was beginning to hope that he would regain his health. On Sunday afternoon about 5 o'clock he was taken critically ill. | | Professor Welch was born in Newberry district, South Carolina, July 29, 1858. He v/as educated at New-; berry college, and was married to Miss Julia Blake Hunter of Newberry on April 2, 1886. Besides his widow he leaves three daughters, Misses Louise and Alice Welch and Mrs. James S. Clarke. All his family, his son-in-law, J. S Clarke, and his cou-, sin, R. A. Welch, were with him when' he died. I Professor Welch had been associat-' ed with the educational life of Houston for many years. In 1896 he returned here and established the Welch academy, which he conducted until the condition of his health compelled him to relinquish it three years ago. j Many of the men and women who are now in active service here in both the professional and business world were given their educational equipment or prepared for college by him. His whole life was given to teaching He served as professor in his own college at "Newberry and at Clemson college, the Agricultural and Mechanical school of South Carolina, before establishing his own academy in Houston.

Welch Editorial Houston Post, 14. Among those who give their lives in ?3ervice to others, the teacher takes high rank. To compute the value in material terms of the benefaction : of one who devotes a lifetime to the | education of youth were an impossi [ bio task. i So, it would be futile to attempt; to measure the worth to Houston of such a man as Professor C. W. Welch1 who passed away at hi? 1 )me Monday morning, after more .an a quarter of ? century devoted to teaching of young people of this city in a select school*of his own founding, and con-' ducted according to his own lofty, ideals of education. Perhaps, the best tribute that could be paid to him is to point to the lives of the scores of good and useful citi-; zens he tauerht and helped to shape in their formative periods. In them may' be read a more eloquent eulogy than can be expressed in words. In them are the fruits of his distinguished, though unostentatious, service most apparent. A South Carolinian by birth and breeding, a teacher in one of the higher institutions of learning in that state while he was yet a young man, Professor Welch came to Houston more than twenty-five years ago and immediately became a constructive i influence in this city. For a time he' ? / was a teacher in the Houston high school, later establishing the private academy he conducted for so many years. . A refined cultured Christian gen tleman of the South, he transplanted, to Texas the ideals of culture and character which have helped to put this state in the forefront of Chris- j tian civilization during the past generation. As a teacher, he was remarkably efficient. He taught both by precept and example. His influence permeated those about him, because of his qualities as a man. His pupils not only honored him as a scholar and instructor, but loved and respected him for his kindly spirit, his generous na-, ture, and his exemplay character. The passing of Professor Welch brings a sense of deep personal grief to a great company who sat at his feet in other days, and the citizenry generally feels the loss of a useful and noble member of the community. miss dominick"entertains in honor of miss keitt Miss Elizabeth Dominick entertained at a delightful bridge party last Tuesday morning, in compliment to Miss Anna Coe Keitt, whose wedding occurred last Thursday evening. nf VivHrnncrPiic nnH kets of shasta daisies added a beautiful touch to the already attractive roomsy which, with the quantities of palms, ferns and other plants in the conservatory' made a prettyi setting for the party. *| The favors for the guests were, dainty hand painted brides and flower girls.
