Quotes What DIR. Martin Said OF

SuotcS Wnat o1T. Martin Said OF
Him Last Summer.
When Gov. Hayward was shown a
copy of Mr.. Martins letter and was
asked if he had any reply to mako to
this attack upon him, he said:
Il am very much surprised and
very sorry to know that Mr., Martin
has seen fit to begin mud Singing i'm
the senatorial campaign When
was not a candidate for the same Of
hce TO which he also aspres he seem
ed to entertain for me II very high

that whom MIR. Martin last July got
mad with Governor Ansel and made
a bitter attack upon the chief mags-
iratc Of South Carolina he referred
ID. G. Hayward as; THAT delightful
aud considcratc gentlcmun who
adorned that Office during the past
four years But since that delight
fui and cOnsidcratc gentleman is now
Mr.. Martins opponent. and is pro-
nounccd by leading religious ncwS-
paper as the probable winner in this
race. Mr.. Martin seems to change his
opinion Of him entirely. but am
certain that he cannot change the
opinion Of the people OF South Caro-
lima
"'rhe testimony before the investi-
eating committee must have been
known to Mr.. Martin when ne spoke

has been public property for nearly
three years. The people Of South
