CASSIE CHADWICK DEAD.
Nervous Prostration Was the Cause
of the Celebrated Woman Firan-
cier's Death-No Loved
Ones at Her Bedside
When the End
Game.

Columbus, O.. Oct. 1O.-Nrrs. Cas-
sic Chadwick, whose amazing finan-
cial transaction eliminated in the
wrecking Of al Oberlin, Ohio, bank
died in the women's ward at the Ohio
penitentiary tonight at 1915. Mrs.
Chadwick had been in comatose
condition for some hours previous to
her death and the end came peaceful
ly. No friends or relatives waited at
her bedside, only the prison physi-
elan and hospital attendants being
present. Her son, Emil Hoover, had
been summoned from Cleveland, but
he was not expected to arrive before
tomorrow.
Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick, whose
maiden name was FlizH'etn Biricy.
was Il native Of Woodstock, Canada.
She first came into public notice in
Toledo, o., about 20 years ago, where
she told fortunes, under the name Of
Madame Devierc. While in this city
she forged the name of Richard
Brown, Youngstown, O., and for this
crime was sent to the pcnitcntary at
Columbus for nine years.
She served but portion of this
sentence and then located at Cleve-
land, whrrc she married man nam
ed Hoover. Her second husband was
DR.. Leroy s. Chadwick of Cleveland,
a man Of good family and excellent
standing in his profession.
In the latter part Of 1902, or early
in 1903, Mrs. Chadwick, in the pres
encc Of her husband, gave to Ira Rey-
nolds, The cashier Of the Wade Park
bank Of Cleveland, a box containing
notes signed with the name Of An
drew Carnegie. These forged notes
are alleged to have amounted TO ST.
100000. Reynolds gave receipt fol

and the signature upon them. Mrs

AS TO SALARIES.

Gov. Ansel in an interview, says
that the salary Of the governor should
be increased, and lie also wants a
new mansion built. In both Of these
propositions Gov. Ansel is entirely
correct. The fact of the business is,
that all Of our salaries are too low.
The cost Of living in Columbia apart
from the expense Of the campaign is
more than the salary that we pay
our state officers, especially if they
have to rent their homes and move to
columbia.
Superintendent Of Education Mar
tin, il seems, has been invest igating
the salaries Of other like officers in
other states, and he finds that tho
salary Of the state superintendent Of
education in South Carolina is less
than in any other state. Expenses Of
all kinds nave been increased very
much since the present salaries were
adjusted, and they were too low at
tho time.
or course many men could afford
to take a position like that of Gov.
Anscl if it cost them little more
than the salary, because there is an
ambition to be gratificd, but even in
this ease, The governor gets $l.1O0 a
year more than other state officers
and has his mouse to live in without
cost and has now his fuel furnish
ed /" him. In the other state Offices
the occupant, We should think,
would barely get back out Of his sal
ary the necessary expenses Of liv-
ing The same may be said of mem
bcrs Of the legislature. Their pay is
81 per day, and if they live respect
ably at Il first class hotel, as they
ought to do, their hotel bills alone
are $3.50 per day, and it, therefore,
makes ii an expensive luxury to be a
member Of the legislature.
II Is no answer to these suggcs-
tions to say that there would he men
found aspiring to these positions cv-
en- at the present pay. We have no
doubt there would be candidates for
any and all of these Offices even if
the pay were less than it is at pres
ent; but Il great state like South
Carolina should not expect it's pub
lie servants to discharge the duties
of their respective Offices without
h'caS"nablc compensation, suilicitl:
that they might live comfortably out
of the salaries.
As to the new mansion, there can
be little question in the mind of any
citizen Of this state. vino has seen the
present building, that there is need
OF a new one.

COL. WATTERSON'S DARK

MIR. MARTIN AND MIR. ANSEL.
superintendent Of Education O. b.
Martin is not pleased evidently with
the action Of Gov. Ansel in appoint
ing members Of the state board of
education. We would like to suggest
that Nh. Martin should not make
such display Of himself and Of his
temper, because il is not good ex-
ample for Tie head Of the cducation-
al interest Of our great state TO set
to the other people Of the state and
especially to the children. Now, it
may be that Gov. Anscl ought to have
consulted Mr.. Martin; it may be that
he appointing power in the creation
of this state board Of education
should have been in Mr. Martin, as
the superintendent Of education, but
somehow the legislature in its Wis
dom has placed the power upon the
governor and the responsibility rests
with MIN; it may be that all the
members Of the state board Of edu-
cation should be teachers, but some
how the legislature did not see pro-
per to so fix it in the law, which
makes this board The thing for Mr..
Martin to do is TO have the Icgisla-
ture remedy The defect in the law, if
it be defect, and take away from the
governor the right Of appointment
and give it to the superintendent Of
education.
We do not happen to know Mr..
Rice. who has been appointed, but We
do not see why he is ineligible be-
cause Of The fact that he is IL lawyer
and unless inc legislature, or some
power that has the making OF this
board. should state that it should be
composed Of teachers, we cannot un-
drrstand why it is such crime for
lawyer to be on the board There
are MANY lawyers, who arc fully
competent to discharge the duties
which dcvolvc upon the board Of cdu-
cation, and there are many lawyers,
also, who are as much or more in
tcrcstcd in the education Of the pco-
pie Of this state as some teachers.
In fact, it would seem TO us that it
would be wise to have on the board
one on two men, who are not teach
ears, because the tendency of a
teacher is to become theoretical and
the counsel and advice of a practical
man of affairs and one who is inter-
cStcd III education, it would seem,
would be valuable addition to the
state board Of education.
The comparison, rs to the compost
ton Of the supreme court, we do not
think holds good in the matter of
state board Of education. Of course
it is right and proper that there
should be some teachers on the board, |
and If we are not mistaken, the pres
cnt board has already one or two
members, who are not teachers, and
just why Mr.. Martin should have
such antipathy to lawyers, we can
not understand; hut certainly we do
not see where any good can come from
such outburStS as Mr.. Martin 5 let
ter to Gov. AnScl.
Mr.. Martin announces that he will
not be candidate for reelection, and
1t is stated tnat If the office were ap-
pointivc, he would resign.
II is unfortunate that there should
be such disagreement between two
heads OF the government, hut We do
not believe that Mr.. Martin WAS JUS
titled in writing such letter as he
