BOOK WAS CRITICISED

Opinion of His Work.

Reginald Wright Kaufman, the
author, in letter written by him to
the Charleston IS. c. News and
Courier which appeared recently,
took exception to Governor Stuart on
account of letter written by the
executive to Kaufman, in which Gov
ernor Stuart went on record as being
opposed to the latest effort of the
outhor. The Mark of the Beast"
Kaufman sent the Governor a copy
of his book. asking that he give his
personal opinion of it The book con-
Germs the lynching of an innocent ne
gro Tor crime committed upon a
Southern white woman by a Southern
white man. but who accused the ne
gro, and saw him die for the crime
he had himself committed. The Gov
ernor answered that he did not ap-
prove Of it, since 1T was calculated to
inflame the public, and pronounced the
situation created by Kaufman In the
book az incredible.
In his letter printed in the South
Carolina newspaper, Kaufman cites
excerpts from letters from other
southern Governors favorable to the
book, and states that he does not
believe that he has presented a situa-
ton. or has In its development done
an injustice to the South. but If, he
has he Is quick to make an apology.
Governor Stuarts letter to the
author is as follows:
You have courteously asked for my
opinion on your new book, THE Mark
of the Beast" and sent me a copy
In your letter of September rs it is

This gives you my record on the

public by the presentation of an in
