MISS NANcE'S GOOD WORK.
Peabody Board Shows Appreciation of
Her Work for Rural School.

State Superintendent of Education
Martin has received q letter from
Wickliffe Rose, secretary of the Pea
body board, with a check for $500 en-
closed. This check has been sent by
the Peabody board to the School I'M
provement association to aid it in the
good work it is doing, and is in recog-
milton of the work which has been done
by Miss Nance. The check is signed
by j. P. Morgan, treasurer of the
board.
The Peabody has given SIP, 900 to
Winthrop this year, and it's gifts to this
institution for the past several years
have averaged $1,000 a year.
1T will be remembered that the Pea
body board has also helped the schools
all over this State in days gone by, and
was very instrumental in the develop
ment of the school here in Columbia,
which finally became Winthrop College.
Attention of the board was brought
to the work being done in South Caro-
lima by Miss Nance through the efforts
of MIR. Martin. News and Courier.

ANOTHER CHAPTER In
NATTER OF NEGRO


Mr.. A. j. Bethea, secretary to Gov.
Ansel, yesterday received a letter from
a friend in Beaufort telling some inter
esting facts in connection with the mat
ter of appointing negroes to the Office
of notary public. There have been %
appointments of negroes in Beaufort i'm
the last 20 years at the hands of the
following governors, respectively:
Richardson, A; Tillman, IL; Evans, 81;
Ellerbe, 5; Insolvency., l; Hayward, L.;
Ansel, none.
Mr.. Bethea was amused at the man
ner in which an u%nfriendly paper had
lodged the issue, since the refutation
of the malicious charges against Gov.
Ansel. This paper, the first to start
the ~insinuation hat Gov. Ansel was the
only governor to appoint a negro as
notary" said Mr.. Bethea, has not had
the moral courage to come out and adj
nit that it has wronged the governor
and it has wronged him more than once
but has made a lame excuse for its
fall down by saying that the governors
friends are trying to hide behind Gov.
Tillman's record.
"Of course that is untrue. All that
my statement sought to do was oshow
that Gov. Ansel's conduct vas in keep
ing with that of other governors and
Senator Tillman's name was used to re-
flute the direct and untrue charge that
Gov. Anscl was the first governor to
appoint a negro as notary after Mr..
Tillman had revoked commissions of all
notaries.
81 have shown conclusively that Gov.
Ansel in two years appointed but two
negroes as notaries and in one county
Gov. Tillman appointed IL, it seems.
This is published not to discredit any
other governor, not to take any advan-
tage of precedent, but to give a flat
denial to the charge published IN the
same paper.
Here is the verbatim charge they
made: "'When Gov. Tillman went into
office, it is said, he found many negroes
holding the Office of notary public, and
to get rid of them he had the legisla-
turc to revoke the law under which they
were appointed and Il new law enacted.
After that there were no more APP
pointed, so far as we know, until it be-
came reported that Gov. Ansel had APP
pointed a negro of Grcenville a notary
public. The State, July 81.
