MARTINS LETTER TO ANsEL.
Some Warm Correspondence Between
these two High na.eiaIs. &@

Columbia, October i z .-S State SUI
perintendent of Education Martin,
on receipt Of official notification that
Governor Ansel had appointed Hayne
f. Rice, of Aiken, as member Of the
Estate Board Of Education from the
Second District, wrote the Governor
very caustic letter, resenting the
appointment of the Aiken lawyer,
and incidentally announcing that he
would not stand for reelection.
Governor Ansel was out of the city
Yesterday, and even If he were here,
1t is not likely that he would have
anything to say concerning Mr.. Mar
tins letter. The ,Governor did not
consult Mr.. Martin about the appoint
ment, although after the statement
given out by Mr.. Martin in reference
to the appointment Of Ex-Governor
Sheppard, the Governor endeavored
to pacify the State Superintendent of
Education. Later the Superintendent
wrote the Governor a letter apolog
ing for the harsh expression used,
but not abandoning his position. This
latest development, however, means
permanent break between Governor
Ansel and Mr.. Martin, and 1t can be
safely assumed that Mr.. Martin will
fight the Governor as long as he can
see him.
The letter from Mr.. Martin to the
Governor is as follows:
Columbia, October 16, 1907
Hon. M. F. Ansel, Governor, Colum-
bia, S. c.: Dear Sir-Your letter
notifying me of the appointment of
H. F. Rice, of the Aiken Pbar, as a
member of the State Board of Edu-
cation, was promptly received So
you have succeeded in appointing a
lawyer, and also in not consulting
the officer who is responsible to the
people for the conduct Of the educa-
tional office of the State. wish that
1t were possible for me to think of
your action in this whole matter
other than small-minded, oficious
and pernicious. prefer to think Of
the Governor Of my State as liberal
minded and, statesmanly.
/ note that you say that Mr. Rice
has taken an interest in school mat
ters. Likely many Of our school men
have taken an interest in law, but 1t
does not follow that they should be
put, upon the Supreme Bench. They
are hardly competent to examine ap-
plicants for admission to the bar aud
to discharge the numerous compli-
Gated, but technical duties OF the Su-
preme Court.
To take a charitable view OF the
situation, believe you utterly fall
edsto grasp the duties of member
Of the State Board of Education.
Some time ago, when you made your
second appointment of a lawyer on
this board, / characterized your ac-
ton with such language as seemed,

many criticisms of the fire eating SEN
ator from the south, much abuse has

who is said to have respect for no one.
Despite this, there are those in this
city who know him and VINO say his
/ home is model one. that he is a kind
/ husband and father And although
many despise him for the a -titude he
takes in regard 10 the negro, there
are many who love him fer his per-
| sonality.
The reply given here by Rev. Brown
is in answer TO criticism made by
a Spokane man and directed against
! the Methodist churches of Spokane,
for bringing Tillman there He says:
Fer many years the newspapers
have had much to say about S, nltor
Tilman. He has been represented as
a hot-hcaded, vituperatiye. prOfane
southern fire-eater, whose hatred OF
the negro has become an overmaster-
| ing mania. If all this is true--if he
has not been misrepresented by the
press-then why should the decent,
fairminded, respectable people of Spo-
kane go to hear him next Tuesday

may properly despise the man if he is

Satisfied Sense a Duty.

Although the Australian aborigine
has his vendetta it is not always re-
venge that he seeks. Darwin tells of
a native servant of a West Australian
magistrate who went one day to his
master, saying that one of his wives
had died. He must go away, there
fore, to a distant tribe and spear a
woman to satisfy his sense of duty
to the dead woman. IF you do, I'll
send you to prison for life" said h
master. For a year the man hung
about, looking wretched and i'll and
complaining that he could neither eat
nor sleep, as the spirit of his wifi
haunted him because he had not
taken another life for hers. At last
he disappeared. A year later he re-
turned in high condition. There was
no legal evidence against him, but it
was known that he had gone to a
distant tribe, had speared a woman to
death and, so, as he thought, ap-
peased the spirit of his departed wife.
