rMR. RICE ACCEPTS V PLACE ON STATE BOARD "Will Serve the State From a Standpoint of Duty?Never Sought the Office. The State. | Aiken, Oct. 24.?Mr. ITayne F. Rice, who was recently appointed a t member of the state hoard of educaW <tion, has accepted I lie appoinlment I and received his commission today. Mr. We was seen hv your correspondent and made the following statement: "1 received my commission yesterda \ and I expert lo serve.\ t inier the ii is ihe duly of the governor lo appoint one person from eve 'v congressional district in the state, whom, together with the stale superintend^pcr.t of education and the governor, shall constitute the slate hoard of ^^uluoalion. The governor alone is ^ responsible to the people of the state for the fitness of his appointees to [ discharge the duties devolving upon them. If, in appointing me from this r district (!<>v. Ansel did not see fit to J consult the superintendent of education, that is a personal matter between 'the two for which I do not deem myself in any manner responsible. Mr. Martin's suttempted flings at myself, of whom he knew nothing whatever, were so manifestly unjust, * and his purpose sjo evident, that I did y not consider them worthy of a reply. "The superintendent construes exrCiov. Sheppard's refusal to serve on the board as an endorsement, of his contention against the governor. I have neither part, nor parcel in any controversy between Superintendent Martin and Gov. Ansel, but since Mr. Moff-tin'a last, published letter to the governor I can1 not refuse to serve and thereby cast discredit upon our Mfchief executive. This appointment -was not solicited by me, nor by any for me, so far as I am informed |BHt. under all the* circumstances 1 Kel dft mv duty, not only to our chiet Jg executive, but to the whole people ol ? the state, to accept, it and serve tc the best of my ability."

SENSIBLE WOMAN WANTED. * ( Prefers Guardian for Child Who Does not Mix Daisies and Violets, or Call China Crockery. In Baltimore, where it is claimed literary effusions are as marketable as white elephants, an unusual advertisement appeared in one of the papers. As it was in ils proper advertising columns a ureal number of people saw it and immediately began I to acquirP'a tasle for reading. It was the plaint of a business man who wanted a teacher f ir his lit lie daughter, and who understood what he ; wanted and expressed his desires, "and darn the expense." He does not wish the usual "refined laay," but a "woman" of common sense and good breeding. lie | does not ask that the applicant have , a college education and insists that she be not academic, but wants a wo' man who speaks good English. Ilis advertisement follows: HELP WANTED ? FEMALE?I , desire to secure the services of a wo; man?not the usual type of "refined ' lady" who is constantly on the hunt for a job?but a masterful, dignified woman of character, common sense and good breeding, who is qualified by temperament and education to ' lake charge of my Iwe] ve-v ear-old daughter. 1 The religious convictions of applicants are of no concern lo the adver; tiser. nor need applicants possess an academic or university degree, but ? their English must be sound?grammar perfect. T would not care to seriously consider engaging a woman who I combined daisies and violets on her winter bonnet, or one who referred to ( crockery as "porcelains," or one whose elegant repose of manner is mere vacuity, or one who bids for sympathy by frequently recurring in soreness of spirit, to her "past rcver ses which'are responsible for my present anomalous and unfortunate circumstances," or one who extorts re1 1 uctaut gleams of pleasure only from mclanciiolv pangs of grief, or one who j ivflours her face with flie incessant fail de poudre, or one who, in man_ ner, may be likened unto a hurricane To a woman with high ideals and ^ a low voice T can offer a com fori able home, where no mental tasks will b.? expected of her: courteous consideration and a liberal salary. It is but fair for applicants to be . told that my little girl 1s no papa's angel-faced dear;e. She is very liu^ man, a flesh and blood sort of coltis'.i maiden, with an expressive countenance and copper-colored name, and ' about as difficult to subdue as a Mexican broncho. At present, she is at a boarding school, and, resenting ils organized discipline and rebelling against the one-batli-a-week regime ^ and the monotony of slewed prunes and stewed mutton, she promises lo be as "good as gold and as "sweet as ' pie" if I lei her return home. The woman who attempts lo bridle her , must have tact, patience, determination and mental force. I want the ( child's spirit directed, not broken. S'ho may need all her will power some day. Tn the proper hands she will be docile and obedient, but at first she's sure to buck. She realizes the melting qualities of mv simulated sternness, so very little aid can be expected of me. 11 H. M.

One Sunday evening, after preaching a long sermon beairing upon the ("good old fashioned religious ideas," ' the divine paid his compliments to I he "newfangled religion" in no uncertain terms.
