AS TO SALARES.
Gov. 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

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.

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

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

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.

nFake Wrestling Contest Pulled Off at

id Night.
a IIn a very one-sided wrestling bout,
at the opera house Monday night, Ed

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

CASSIE CADWICK DEAD.
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,

rom this institution such large sums
