Ansel in an interview, sa that the salary of the governor shou be increased, i .id he also wants new mansion built. In both of the propositions Gov. Ansel is entire correct. The fact of the business that all of our salaries are too lo The cost of living in Columbia apa from the expense of the campaign more than the salary that we p our state officers, especially if th have to rent their homes and move Columbia. Superintendent of Education Ma tin, it seems, has been investigati: the salaries of other like officers other states, and he finds that t salary of the state superintendent education in South Carolina is le than in any other state. Expenses all kinds -bave been increased ve much since the present salaries we adjusted, and they were too low the time. Of course many men could affo to take a position like that of GC Ansel if it cost them a little mo than the salary, because there is i ambition to be gratified, but even this case, the governor gets $1,100 year more than other state office and has his house to live in witho cost and has now his fuel furnis ed to him. In the other state offic the occupant, we should thin .would barely get back out of his sz ary the' necessary expenses of li ing. The same may be said of mei bers of the legislature. Their pay $4 per day, and if they live respe< ably at a 'first class hotel, as th ought to do, their hotel bills aloi are $3.50 per day,. and it, therefoi makes:it an expensive luxury to be member of the legislature. It is no answer to these sugge tions to say that there would be mi found aspiring to these positions e en at the present pay. We have r -doubt there would be candidates f any and all of these offices even 'the pay were less than it is at pre -ent; but a. great sta:te like Sou Carolina should not expect its pu lie servants to discharge the duti of their respective offices witho treasonable compensation, sufficiet that they might live conifortably o' of the salaries. As to the new mnansion, there et be little question in the mind of ai citizen of this state, who has seen t] present building, that there is net of a new one. COL. WATTBESO~N'S DARK EOESB. An excellent sketeh of Gov. Jol Johnson, of Minnesota, is given: ithie current issue of the Nation 0afagazine. Of course, the fact th he is dol. Henry Watterson 's da ~horse'' for the Demoeratic Preside tial nomination makes it all the mo interesting, but aside from that sigt dieane'the story of the man's li reads like a piece of fiction. The are many similarities between l earlier days an~d those of Lincol both having arisen from obscuri and the most abject poverty. Li: Lincoln, Johnson is a self-made ma Gov. Johnson is a Democrat. I is of the old stamp of Democrae EHis remarkable magnetism aa strength is shown in the fact th he was elected chief executive of strongly Republican state. He may or may not get the nol ination. That is a question that m. be considered later. But since he the choice among all available m of Col. Watterson, let us see wb sort of a platform he would bui for himself to stand upon in the i vent of his candidacy for the noni nation. He is in favor of maki a revision of the tariff. He is opp< ed to the government ownership ide which have lately struck an eleme of the Democratic party, but he is strong believer in government regn tion and control of railroads and o1 er corporations which may requi such treatment. He is opposed the idea of centralization of govei ment, but adheres rigidly to the ( idea of holding the rights of stai sacred and supreme. He is consera tive; he is sound. His .ideas are go and above all are Democratic. T mnagazine article referred to is int esting and worth reading from a point of view.-Greenville News. We would be glad to see Col. W: terson's dark horse made -he leadi horse in the Dem scratie conventi next year, and as his runn'ing ma of ["hode Island. would be a strong 1:.aIda.i'TIN AN'.&D M..SL V_ Sintendent of Educatioll . 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 M. Martin should not make such a display of himself and of his YS temper, because it is not a good ex id ample for the head of the education a al interest of our great state to set se to the other people of the state and lY especially to the children. Now, it is, may be that Gov. Ansel ought to have W- consulted Mr. Martin; it may be that ,rt the appointing power in the creation is of this state board of education 1Y should have been in Mr. Martin, as RY the superintendent of education, but to somehow the legislature in its wis dom has placed the power upon the ,r- governor and the responsibility rests ig with him; it may be that all the in members of the state board of edu e cation should be teachers, but some of how the legislature did not see pro ss per to so fix it in the law, which of makes this board. The thing for Mr. rY Martin to do is to have the legisla re ture remedy the defect in the law, if at it be defect, and take away from the governor the right of apopintment d and give it to the superintendent of V. education. re We do not happen to know Mr. tn Rice, who has been appointed, but we in do not see why he is ineligible be a cause of the fact that he is a lawyer, rs and unless the legislature, or some ut power that has the making of this h- board, should state that it should be es composed of teachers, we cannot un k, derstar d why it is sueh a crime for a L- lawyer to be on the board. There - are many lawyers, who are fully n- competent to discharge the duties 1s which devolve upon tne board of edu t- cation, and there are many lawyers, ly also, who are as much or more in e terested in the education of the peo e, ple of this state as some teachers. a In fact, it would seem to us that it would be wise to have on the board - one or two men, who are not teach ears, because the tendency of a teacher is to become theoretical and 0 the counsel and advice of a practical >rman of affairs and one who is inter ested in education, it would seem, s- would be a valuable addition to the h state board of education. The comparison, as to the composi e tion of the supreme court, we do not think holds good in the matter of a tstate board of education. Of course tit is right and proper that there should be some teachers on the board, nand if we are not mistaken, the pres ent board has already one or two ed members, who are not teachers, and djust why Mr. Martin should have such antipathy to lawyers, we can not understand; but certainly we do not see where any good can come from such outbursts as Mr. Martin's let Ln ter to Gov. Ansel. Ln Mr. Martin anpiounces that he will al not be a candidate for reeleotion, and it it is stated that if the office were ap -k pointive, he would resign. I- It is unfortunate that there should re be such disagreement between two - heads of the government, but we do re not believe that Mr. Martin was jus re tified in writing such a letter as he is Idid. ~MADE-TO-ORDER MATCH. nFake Wrestling Contest Pulled Off at Opera House Monday id Night. a IIn a very one-sided wrestling bout, at the opera house Monday night, Ed n- Adamson, the ''champion of the At y lantie coast'' threw an ''unknown'' is by the name of Jewell, who hails from en ICharleston, twice, the first fall re at sulting in 1 minute and the second in ld45 seconds. v. After the bout, Jewell announced 1in the lobby of one of the hotels that gthe fight was a fake; that it was >-agreed between the men that Adam as son was to secure the first fail, Jew nt ell the second, and the best man the ithird. Jewell stated that he held to a- his part of the agr'ement. but that h-Adamson, taking advantage of him, re also secured the second fall. to Adamson bitterly denied these al nlegations. and for a while it appeared Id that the men would mix up. Cooler es iieads intervened, howevpr, and no a. one who paid the admission fee to the od bout is any the wiser as to whether he Ior not the result of the match was a er.. pre-arranged, made-to-order affair.

Nervous Prostration Was the Cause of the Celebrated Woman Finan cier's Death-No Loved Ones at Her Bedside When the End Came. Columbus, 0., Oet. 10.-Mrs. Cas sie Chadwick, whose amazing finan cial transaction culminated in the wrecking of an Oberlin, Ohio, bank died in the women's ward at the Ohio enitentiary tonight at 10.15. Mrs. 4Nadwick had been in a comatose odition for some hours previous to er death and the end came peaceful ly. No friends or relatives waited at er bedside, only the prison physi ian and hospital attendants being resent. Her son, Emil Hoover, had een summoned from Clevel'and, but e was not expected to arrive before tomorrow. .. Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwiek, whose aiden name was Elizabeth Bigley; as a native of Woodstock, Canada. he first came into public notice in oledo, 0., about 20 years ago, where he told fortunes, under the name of adame Deviere. While in this city she forged the name of Richard Brown, Youngstown, 0., and for this crime was sent to the penitentiary at olumbus for nine years. She served but a portion of this sentence and then located at Cleve and, where she married a man nam d Hoover. Her second husband was Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick of Cleveland, man of good family and excellent standing in his profession. In the latter part of 1902, or early n 1903, Mrs. Chadwick, in the pres n-ce of her husband, gave to Ira Rey nolds, the eashier of the Wade Park ank of Cleveland, a box containing notes signed with the n'ame of An drew Carnegie. These forged notes are alleged to have amounted to $7, 500,000. Reynolds gave a receipt for the .papers, which described the notes and the signature upon the;n. Mrs. hadwick left with R.eynolds as an explanation of the notes, the state ment that she was a natural daugh ter of Carnegie. With the receipt of Reynolds' in her possession. Mrs. Chadwick went to different banks and many capital ists making loans and paying not on y high interests toe the banks but heavy bonuses to the bank officials who loaned her the money. The ex ient of these t.ransaetions will iever be fully kniown but they ran up into the millions. They involved men of i.staling in the financial world and caused heavy losses to many banks. In November, 1904, she was sued by a man named Newton* of Brook ine from whom she had borrowed a large amount. Other ereditors came down upon her and soon she was ar rested by the federal authorities on the charge of conspiring with Ohas. 3ekwith, president, and A. B. Spear, cashier, of a national bank in Oberlin, ., which had been substantially loot ed.
