ploy Of the Catawba Power Company,

MIR. RICE ACCEPTS PLACE OF

Will Serve the State From q Stand
point of Duty Never Sought the
Office.
Aiken, special.-Mr. Hayne Z.
Rice, who W 5 recently appointed d
member Of the State board of cduca-
ion, has accepted the appointment
and received his commission. Mr..
Rice was seen by correspondent aud
made the following statement:
81 received my commission and 1
expect to serve. Under the law it is
The duty Of the governor to appoint
,ne person from every congressional
district in the State, whom, together
with the State superintendent of ell
acation and the governor, shall con-
stitutc the State board of education.
The governor alone is responsible to
shc people of the State for the fitness
If his appointecs to discharge the du-
lies devolving upon them. If, in ap-
pointing me FROM this district Gov.
Ansel did not see fit to consult the
superintendent of education, that Is
4 personal matter between the two,
FOR which I do not deem myself il
eay manner responsible. Mr. Mar
Tins attempted iings at myself, OF
whom he knew nothing whatever.
we're SO manifestly unjust, and his
purpose so evident, that / did not
consider them worthy of reply.
..The superintendent ccnstrues cx-
Gov Sheppard's refusal to serve on
the board as an endorsement of his
contention against the governor. l
have neither part nor parcel in any
controversy between Supt. Martin
and Gov. Ansel, but since Mr.. Mar
tins last published letter to the gov
ernor I can not refuse to serve and
thereby cast discredit upon our chief
executive. This appointment was not
solicited by me. nor by any one for
me, SO far as I am informed, but
1nder all the circumstances I feel it
my duty, not only to our chief exc
cutive, but to the whole people of the
State, to accept it and serve to the
BEST of my ability. !"

sunter's Shoe Factory Attracts At
tention.

Sumter, Specialize, first shoe
factory in South Carolina, located at
Sumter, is attracting the attention Of
hundreds of visitors from eastern
Carolina and other points, who come
here to trade, and few people visit
Sumter without going into Built
mann Bros. shoe establishment to see
the novel sight of manufacturing
shoes i'll all of the departments.
Sumter people are as much interested
as any other people, and our Sumter
shoe dealers are patronizing the To-
cal factory, too. So far not single
shoe dealer from any point in this
State, who has visited the shoe fac
tory has gone away without placing
an order. This speaks volumes for
the spirit of patronizing home enter
prises by South Carolina merchants.

EASY TO CRITICIZE PICTURES.
H. You Don't "oulte Like the Face"
That Settles 1t.

r. You Don't "Quite Like the Face,
That Settles 1t.
Some liberal-minGed people will adj
nit to you that slightly preliminary
training is required before serious
attempt is made to criticize music,
but almost anybody with eyes is will
ling to embark buoyantly on the job
Of tearing a picture to pieces. This
seems to be because the picture Will
,tand without hitching. Moreover, it
will patiently submit to all the verbal
harpoons you, find time and strength

critic will find sufficiently Of both to
make even reasonably good paint
Ing look like a cross between a four.
teenth century ST. Sebastian and q
hedgehog.
Music, on the contrary, is both pro-
longed and evanescent, and by the
time the composition is finished and
the applause has quieted down, the
critic has forgotten most of the good
things he intended to say to It's de-
!riment.
But the picture stays, irritating you
by its mere passive endurance to the
point where after a while you feel
that IL you don't say something to
destroy its SNUG selfcomplacency, 1t
will 20 on thinking that it's all right,
So then you begin to work over 1t,
and you say, Yes, l see now; it look
ed pretty good at first, but that arm
is hopelessly bad, and 1 don't quite
like the face" There's nothing to
be done IL you don't quite like the
tate"; there's no answer to that pro-
position. It's a clincher. Rembrandt
himself couldn't have stood up against
It. If some duke of his day had saun-
tered up to Rembrandt's finest por-
trait and said, II don't think l quite
like the face" Rembrandt would have
wilted, and would probably have given

aow it is possible to enact and to en-
force an effective compulsory attend

Ion is strengthened. If I hae my
choice between a bill to improve our

There will be before the legislature

ing made because of the long de-

of the house who was in the city
sts led that after d trip over the upper
part of the State and conversations
held with number Of members, this
bill is almost certain Of passage by
lhe house. while the senate is heart
liy in fayo1' if it. The bill provides
