A STATEMENT FROM E. H. A I'LL,
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
EDUCATION.
* __
In the race .for county superintend
ent of education, I have endeavored
to make a clean, fair, open and honorable
campaign. I have not resorted to
any methods which have not been open
and frank, and have not criticized any
of my opponents, nor referred to them
in any way, except on the stump and
in, their presence. From information
which I have received, it seems that
in the contest between mv opponent
and myself, efforts are being made to
> resort to methods which are not open
and fair. In the public and official
business with which I have been favored
by the people of Newberry county;
and the people of the State, I have
had nothing to conceal, and all of my
official acts have been open for inspection.
I had an intimation before the campaign
opened that one of the prospective
candidates for the position of
superintendent of education had been
making inquiry in Columbia as to the
doings of the State hospital commission,
and my connection with that
commission. I had expected that reference
would be made to this during
+ ^ rtonirvoicrn n * or- it nroo nnt T riiH
l/UC Cto * V ?? M.O i.*w, JL Vi?NA
not feel that it would be proper for
me to refer to the report which had
reached me, and I did not believe that
any attempt would be made by any of
the candidates to circulate rumors
which might be construed as detrimen*
tal to me, i and which had no foundation,
in fact. . It seems that in this
I was mistaken.
, I notice, in Mr. F. W. Higgins' card
of thanks to his supporters, he makes
the following reference and insinuation
:
"To the many -^ho have been led as
tray, at tne eieventn nour i nave oniy
to say that they have my profoundest
s}*mpathy in -the conditions with which
they are confronted, i. e., a wilful violation
of the statutes against the holding
of two offices at one time, on the
one hand, and a youth on the other;
v j. ?: 11 i ?i 3
in. one 01 wnose nanas win ue piaueu
that most momentous of responsibilities?the
unknown future of our homeland's
citizenship."
I had not intended to notice chis,
but I have received from Dr. J. W.
Babcock, the following letter, which
was addressed to him by Mr. G. P. Hill,
a trustee of the Helena school:
August 30, 1912.
"Dear Sir: As a question has arisen
here that E. H. Aull is still receiving
salary as a member of the asylum
commission, I write to you for facts.
' He is now Supt. of education for Newberry
county, and standing for reelection.
By giving this information
as early as you can you will great
oblige.
(Signed) "G. P. Hill."
Of course, the purpose of writing
this letter is to get something which
may be used to my detriment. I have
written^Ir. Hill the following letter:
* "Mr. G. P. Hill, Newberry, S. C.?
Dear Sir: Ycur letter of August 30, to
Dr. Babcock, ]fras been referred to me.
You could have secured the information
desired by asking me,i without
writing Dr. Babcock. I have not been
a tnember of the hospital commission
since my resignation took effect on
January 6, and you could have gotten
this information without writing to
uoiumoia. i nave never tnea to Keep
any of my official acts from the public
and have no secrets now. As it seems
that it is the purpose of those who are
opposing me to use fair or unfair
means to encompass my defeat, I shall
* publish in the papers on next Tuesday
my letter of resignation, and a full
statement of my connection with the
State hospital commission. It was
rmhlichoH in thp naner? 5n .Tnnnarv
r-r-1 ??
that I bad resigned, and I did not feel
that further statement of that matter
was necessary."
It seems to me that it comes with a
little bad grace for Mr. Hill to resort
| to methods of this kind, especially in
view of the fact that when I came in
office the trustees of his district and
the office of superintendent of education
were very much disturbed with
each other, and I was instrumental,
in a very short time, in settling the
differences amicably, as I thought, to
all parties.
Some three or four months ago, I
stated to a friend that I supposed it
would be good politics on my part to
let the office of superintendent run
* along, and make no effort to do anything
for the improvement of condi
tions amongst the rural schools^ because,
as a rule, the people for whom
you do the most are the people ?vho
take pleasure in opposing yo'u, and it
seems that there is a popular notion
that the best way to hurt a man is to
oppose him for election, when he becomes
a candidate. However, 1 am
one of those who believe in doing
L * things, and I woutd prefer -o b.avr*
a record of having done somerhing r'or
the betterment of the schools in New
berry county, than to Ijave the temporary
approval of the people, with
nothing accomplished. Of course, if
the people refuse to give me a full
term, it will be impossible to carry 10
completion the many plans which have
been inaugurated, and which are in
contemplation for the betterment of
the rural schools of Newberry county.
I am franR to say that I would be very
glad to carry these plans to a sue
cessful termination, but looking at the
returns of the last election, the precincts,
or school districts, in which
there was the greatest opposition to
me, are the opes in which I have already
done most for the schools. I
am somewhat puzzled to know whether
it is a lack of appreciation on the
part of the patrons of the schools, or
whether the people really do not want
j their schools improved.
As to my connection with the State
hospital commission, my position is
well known to the people of Newberry
county, on the question of holding two
offices, and while they voted against
my contention four years " ago, and
have re-elected the same gentleman,
who still holds two positions, I desire
to be Consistent, and when I decided
to accept the position of count/- superintendent
of education, I addressed the

December 30, 1911.
Governor Cole. L. Blease,
Columbia, S. C.
My Dear Sir:
Having decided to accept the posi
tion of county superintendent of education
for Newberry county, to which
I have been elected by the State board
of education, I herewith tender you my
resignation as member of the State
hospital commission.
I do this in obedience to Section 2
of Article II of the Constitution of
1895, which says: "No person shall
hold two offices of honor or profit at
i the same time."
I desire this resignation and my
cominission as county superintendent
of education to be effective not before
January 6, as. the State hospital commission
is to meet during the coming
! week to complete its report of its doings
during the past year, to be submitted
to the general assembly, under
the joint resolution creating the commission,
and as secretary of the commission
I feel that I should not sever
my connectien with it until this report
is completed.
In leaving the State hospital com
j mission, there is regret on my part in
the severance of the pleasant ties
which have bound the commission together
in the important work in whteh
they are engaged. I feel that this is
the most important of the extraordinary
work in which the State is now
engaged. During the past year the
commission has worked harmoniously,
and its energies- have been directed in
I the lines which it conceived to be for
ithe best interests of the State in the
I development of the plan which it had
j under view for the building a home
! for the State's unfortunates. Personi
ally, the work to me, while arduous at
! times, has been pleasant, both because
| of the associations and of the great
object in view.
In tendering this resignation, I dejsire
to assure you personally of the
appreciation of the commission for the
: co-operation you have given us in our
| work. Respectfully,
E. H. Aull.
(Copy.)
January 1st, 19i2.
| Col. E. H. Aull, Newberry, S. C.
Dear Colonel: Letter tendering your
: resignation received. I regret to see
| you leave the hospital commission. Dr.
jBabcock has frquently spoken in the
I very highest terms of your work, and
i
I am sure that your services will be
! greatlv missed. However, you are en1
! tering a broader field and I congratulate
you and wish you success in your
l new work.
Very respectfully,
Cole. L. Blease,
Governor.
Since the 6th of January, I have not
been a member of the State hospital
; commission. The commission did rej
quest me to remain as secretary, or
!
! clerk, during the session of the legislature,
inasmuch as I was familiar
! with the details of the work, having
kept the books and disbursed the
| money, and was, therefore, in better
| position to give the members of the
: legislature information concerning the
expenditures than any one else would
i have been. This I consented to do,

I and have kept the books. For Mr. Hill's
| benefit, will say that I am not doing
j this work without compensation,
though the compensation received is
not commensurate with the work
which is being done. For the further
information of those who may desire
know, the legislature passed the
following joint resolution, co tinning

j the time the resolutfon was adopted j wri
and became law. At that time I had ha1*

! I take it that he has considered the tim
j act as forbidding him to change the pet
j commission i-3 then constituted, unless anj
j there should be a vacancy, by death cor
i or resignation, or removal from the ing
j State, and therefore, as I take it, the dat
i commission can be composed of only yet
'four members, because there were en.
only four at the time of the ratifica-* A
tion of the resolution, and I was not the
one of the four. tior
The following is the resolution: con
"Section 1. That the State Hospital

i resolution above referred to, (1910 ^

for
There is another matter to which I j
would like to refer: My opponent in vic(
j the second primary made a statement ^
! in his talk at Young's Grove, to the
| effect that a professor of Clemson col- m01
lege had stated to nam mat upuu ie- r
: quest the authorities of Clemson col- ^
j lege would send a member of the fa- bv
culty to any rural school, and that he ajj
would remain from one to six days, j
' and lecture to the children and the j
I people of the community, without cost en
to the school district. As soon as he an(^
came off the stand, I asked him for
j the name of the professor who had jn ^
, made that statement, because I felt
! that it was the intention to make it
! appear that I had been derelict in my
duty, if I had not secured this free DO
tuition offered voluntarily by Clemson
college. He gave me the name of the ^
| professor, to whqm I immediately ad|
dressed a communication, requesting
that he arrange a program, or an it"* erary,
