I PLACE OIT SIATE BOARD' Will Serve the State From a Stand- ] point of Duty-Never Sought the Office. The State. Aiken. Oct. 24.-',Jr. Hayne F. Rice. who was recently appoited a member of the state boaid of educa ftion, has at:epted the appointment an( rc,?elved his cominii on today. Mr. Vee was ;seen bv your corres- I pondent and made thc following statement: "I rUl:e :n commi.sIn(yer the appoin t on;, persin r c*very con rce.Zsi<mal distriet in the state, whom, topether with the state superintend ert of eduction and the governor. shall constitute the state board of vation. The governor alone is esponsible to the people of the state for the fitness of his appointcs to diseharge the duties devolving upon them. If. in appointing me from this district Gov. Ansel did not see fit to consult the superintendent of educa tion, that is a personal matter be tween .the two for which I do not deem myself in any manner responsi ble. Mr. Martin's attempted flings at myself. of whom he knew nothing whatever, were so manifestly unjust, and his purpose go evident, that I did not cqnsider them worthy of a reply. 1 "The superintendent construes ex Gov. Sheppard's refusal to serve on he board as an endorsement of his contention against the governor. I have neither piart nor parcel in any controversy between Superintendent Martin and Gov. Ansel, but since Mr. Maxtin's last published letter to the governor I ean not refuse to serve and thereby east discredit upon our ef executive. This appointment was not solicited by me, nor by any a for me, so far as I am informed, under -all the cireumstances I it -my duty, niot only to our chief executive, but to the Whole people of the state, to accept it and serve to the best of my ability." The Editor. 1 How dear to my heart is the steady subscriber, Who pays in advance at the birth' of the year;~ Who lays down his money, and does it quite gladly, An easts 'round the office a halo of _cheer. - He never says: "'Stop it, I cannot afford it," Nor ''I'm getting more papers than now I can read,'' But always says, ''Send it, the family enjoy it; In fact, we all think it a real house hold need." ow welcome he is, when he steps in I the sanctum; Ro he makes our heart throb; how I makes ou.r heart dance. We outwardly thank him, we inward ly bless him-i The steady subscriber who pays in advance. But, may the Lord give us action, on the side show attraction, Who takes out our paper, for year after year, Ad then when we meet him, and kindly entreat him,' Tfo give us our money, he gets on his ear. nd tells us to stop it, and never more drop it In the post office box, with the rest ~ of his mail; And refuses to pay us and dares to array us With swindlers and ''con'' men, who should be in jail. es. Iord, make us able, by a turn of the table,( To get what is due us, from this 31iek old, hoo-doo; d we'll stay on the ''level,'' in spite of the devil;s And pay all our bills before they are due. -Cotton Journah A Log to ACar.

In Baltimore, where it is claimed iterary effusions are as market:able is white elephants, an unusual ad Fertisement appeared in one of the )apers. As it was in its proper adver ising columns a great number of )eople saw it and immediately began ;o acquirP a taste for reading. It vas the plaint of a business man who vanted a teacher f.r his little daugh ter, and who understood what he vanted and expressed his desires, 'and darn the expense." He does not wish the usual "re ned laay," but a "woman " of com non sense and good breeding. He loes not ask that the applicant have L college education and insists that he be not academic, but wants a wo nan who speaks good English. His advertisement follows: HELP WANTED - FEMALE-I lesire to secure the services of a wo nan-not the usual type of "refined ady" who is constantly on the hunt .or a jol-but a masterful, dignified voman of character, common sense vnd good breeding, who is qualified y temperament and education to :ake charge of my twelva-year-old laughter. The religious convicenons of appli-1 ants are of no concern to the adver iser. nor need applicants possess an teademic or university degree, but heir English must be sound--gram nar perfect. I would not care to ser ously consider engaging a woman who ombined daisies and violets on her vinter 'bonnet, or one who referred to arockery as ''porcelains," or one rhose elegant repose of_ manner is nere vacuity, or one who bids for ;ympathy by frequently recurring in oreness of spirit, to her ''past rever es which'are responsible for my pres ~nt anomalous and unfortunate cir 'umstances." or one who extorts re uctant gleams of pleasure only from nelancholy pangs of grief, or one who .eflours her face with the incessant ail de poudre, or one who, in man er, may be likened unto a hurricane. To a woman with high ideals and low voice I can offer a comfortable tome, where no mental tasks will b.e xpected of her; courteous considera ion and a liberal salary.

At present, she is at a oarding school. and, resenting its or -anized discipline and rebelling .gainst (he one-bath-a-week regime nd the monotony of stewed prunes md stewed mutton, she promises to be s ''good as gold and as ''sweet as die" if I let her return home.
