WRITES WARM LETTER
The Superintendent of Education
Takes the Courier to Task Cob*
ceruing a Prediction It Made a
Short Time Ago That Bx*Gor. Hey-
ward Would Re-Elected Senator at
the Coming Primary.
Hon. O. B. Martin, State Superin
tendent of Education, and a candi
date for United States Senator has
opened his letter writing batteries on
the Hon. D. C. Hey^rffTWhiher Uot-
erndr and also a candidate for the
Senate. Mr Martin’s ire seems to
hare been aroused by the publication
in the Baptist Courier, (Mr. Martin
is a Baptist) under ^ Nate and
Comment Column, conducted by the
Rev. L. J. Bristow, of a prediction
s W>»t Mr Heyward will be elected Sen
ior and the assertion that he will
reflect honor upon his State. —
Mr. Martin Friday made public a
letter to the Baptist Courier in which
he refers to the testimony before the
investigating committee referring to
expenditures alleged to have been
made in Governor Heyward's behalf
by some of his supporters In Spartan
burg County in 1902. In his reply,
pu ished in next column. Governor
Heyward says he has nothing to con
ceal about this matter?and that the
expenditures were made and Investi
gated by his friends. The item in
the Baptist Courier is as follows:
"Mr. Dan 8. Henderson, who was
announced as a candidate for the
United States senate to succeed Mr.
Gary, tyas withdrawn from the race.
Them are-atHt left, however. Are
avowed candidates, of whom the lead
ing are former Govs. Heyward and
Bvans.—Mr Heyward has probably
; gained by the withdrawal of Messrs.
McCullough and Henderson—two .of
the most scholarly and Intellectual
men in the State—and the present
indications are that Mr. Heyward will
"win put,’’ If he should, South Car
olina would have a representative In
the senate equal in every respect to
any member of tnat body, and one
whose acquaintance and influenoe
would be worth a great deal to the
state.’ • v ■ '
Mr. Martin's Letter.
To the Editor of the'Baptist Courier:
Dear Sir: The enclosed clipping
has been noted by me and also sent
to me by Courier subscribers. I re
gret that you use the influence of
your paper and your gift of prophecy
to try to line np the votes before the
campaign opens. I have always be
lieved that your sense of fairness
would have prevented such action. ■*
. v It is possible to prostitute a relig
hts paper in politics. I wonder if
)u have read pages 327-34^of the
stimony. of the dispensary investi-
Sn committee? Mr. W. R. Dil-
-insiam, of Spartanburg, swore that
/he. spent several hundred dollars for
• Governor Heyward upon his author
ity In me race for governor in 1902.
Dillingham said that he was conduct
ing the campaign upwn the Mark
Hanna system. Several men swore
that Dillingham collected $50, each,
from men whom Gov. Heyward ap
pointed dispensary constables.
Some of these fellows had to "bor
row money for rent and ration^
Chief Fant swore that Dillingham
told him that he spent $1,080 in Hey
ward's campaign, is a man respon
sible under the law for the acts of
his agents^ Does the Courier stand
for this?
It is well known that Gov. Hey
ward said before Senator Latimer's
death that he would not run for sen
utor .because of his business matters
/Md Senator Latimer's death tmme-
HatelTIfltert CJoTr^leyward’s business
matters so that he could get into
the senate, race in less than an hour?
Would he have much influence in
Congress where he would be known
as the post mortem candidate?
Did you see the daily papers In
South Carolina which announced
Senator oatimer’s death and Gov.
Heyward’s candidacy at the^satne
time on front page in large head
lines? Some of the congressmen ap
pointed to attend the funeral saw
them and expressed their opinions ol
the same. South Carolina generally
respects the dead and their families
especlall in the solemn hours of their
deepest grief South Carolina, too
believe in giving every man a fair
change. I think your paper would
not loose anything by hearing the ar
guments and reasoning before it de
cides definitely for the people of thla
-> state as to whom they shall elect for
■V any office. Sincerely yours,
O. B. Martin.

When Gov. Heyward was shown a
copy of Mr. Martin’s letter and ^ai'
aaked If he had any reply to make to
thla attack upon him, ha said:
"I am very much surprised and
very sorry to knotf that Mr. Martin

the senatorial campaign. When I
was not a candidate for the same of-
l Ice to which he also aspires ha seem
ed to entertain for me a very high
regard.
The people of the sKate win recall
that when Mr. Martin Jast July got
mad wtth Govcroor Ansel add made
bitter attack upon the chief magis
trate of South Carolina he referred
C. Heyward as: '’That delightful
and considerate gentleman who
adorned that office during the past
four' r 'yeai».^ .fitULRlfece that delight
ful and considerate'ffentleraan is now
. Martin's opponent, and fs pro
nounced by a leading religions news
paper as the probable winner In this
race, Mr. Martin seems to change hie
opinion of him entirely, but I am
certain that he cannot change the
opinion of the people of South Caro
lina.
‘The testimony before the investi
gating eommlttee most have been
known to Mr. Martin when he spoke
of me so kindly last summer, as it
has been public property for nearly
three years. The people of South
Carolina know what sort of campaign
conducted In 1992 and their con
fidence in me was clearly demonstrat
ed by the fact that I was re-elected
governor in 1904 without even a hint
of opposition.
‘Aa to the alleged expenditures in
in Spai taabnrg County, as
brought out by the investigation, I
have nothing to conceal and have
never had. 1 will ha very glad for
you to publsh a copy of tbs testmony.
whch I herewith hand yon.. Hundreds
of my friends throughout the state
know the circumstances In the case.
Between the first and second primar
ies 1 made my headquarters In Spar
tanburg land necessarily a great deal
of expense was Incurred. I was un
der the Impression that all of these
expenses had been settled at the time
but two and n half wears later a
statement was presented to me from
Mr. Dillingham, which after an in
vestigation by some of my friends
and upon their advice paid. As
abown by Mr. Dillingham's testimony
the amount was not nearly to large
Chief Pent had thought, and.
furthermore, the testimony will show
that it was entirely disconnected with
the constabulary-
As to my alleged disrespect to
Senator Latimer. I wish to say that
my candidacy for the senate was not
announced until I read In the after
noon paper an account of the funer-
of Senator Latimer, and It wne
announced only because I was leav
ing the next day for Philadelphia to
be, absent for sometime on account
of the illness of my wife. Anv prev
to us reference to my probable caurl
course without authorisation or in
course without authorisation on in
stigation from me.
•Mr. Martin’s consideration for the
feelings of Senator Latimer's family
may in his own words be termed post
mortem regard, because it «s well
known that Mr. Martin was preparing
to attack the personal aqd political
record of the late Senator had Mr.
Latimer lived to enter the campaign-

Father visits her at School, Shoots
Her.and then Commit* Suicide.
A terrible tragedy was enacted at
into the contest several weeks ago
was before the exact platform of Gov.
Ansel was known.
It was supposed that Mr. Ansel
would run on the same platform upon
which herWas elected two yeara ago,
but in a letter to k^r! Featherstone a
few days ago, part‘of which is below
quoted. dtwltUbe seen that Mr. Ansel
now occupies the same position that
Mr. Featherstone announced last fa'I,
namely, a /averse local option law,
under which the counties will all be
dry until the dispensary is voted in,
thus throwing the burden on the peo
ple who desire fhe dispensary.
In announcing his withdrawal, Mr.
Featherstone says:
Col. Feetherstone's Htatciuent.
"Several weeks ago ! unced
my candidacy for governor of South
Carolina, upon a State prohlnlUoi
platform.
“I believed then and 1 sililitellove,
that the people are tired of the li
quor traffic, and that they are ready
take a great. step forward and
sweep the legalized traffic oat of the
State. , /
The announcement of my candi
dacy was made at the suggestion of
some of our leading prohibitionists--
men who have been with me In the
fight since the campaign of 1808.
They believed that there ought to be
the campaign a candidate who
would make an aggressive fight, aud
were kind enough to suggest that I
ought to lead the movement.
“As I have already stated, person
ally It did not suit me to go Into the
light at this time, but I yielded to
what 1 conceived to be a call of duty.
I did not hesitate to say that it
would be a source of gratification io
me to be governor of the State, but
the desire to gratify my personal am
bition alone would not have been suf
ficient to Induce me to enter the race
at this time.
"Shortly after the announcement
of my candidacy it was publicly sug
gested by Gov. Ansel's friends that he
was also in favor of prohibition and
that he would offer for re-election
on What platform.
It seemed to me that the cause ol
prohibition might be weakened by
laving two candidates in the field,
and that if he would espouse that
cause it would be the part of wisdom
for me to withdraw.
"Acting upon this idea and with
the approval of, my prohibition
friends, 1 wrote Gov. Ansel (on Feb.
29) that if he expected to make the
race on that platform I would not
oppose him. ?
T am in receipt of a letter from
the governor informing me that he
expects to advocate the reverse of
our present local option plan. He
says:
“ ‘My position on the liquor ques
tion is what I call restricted local
option—that is, local option as be
tween county prohibition and county
dispensary. Those counties voting to
seM liquor shall l>e restricted to one
dispensary in the county and that
one al the county seat, except in those
counties wherein there Is a city of
more than 25,000 population, in
which counties more than one dispen
sary may tie established. This W in
accordance with my recommendations
to the general assembly as set forth
in my annual message of 1908, is in
the Interest of temperance and will
minimize the sale of liquor.
With the experience that I have
had in the past two years in the pro
posed elections that were desired in
some counties on the liquor question.
I am of the opinion that it will be
better to enact a law by which a
county can vote on the question of
voting In the sale of liquor as above
restricted. Instead of voting it out, as
now provided—that is, make nil the
counties dry until a majority of the
qualified voters of a county vote to
sell liquor in that particular county,
and, tf a majority of the qualified
voters vote to sell,-that one county
dispensary then be festablished as
above set forth, with the right to vote
the dispensary out at a subsequent
election.’
This is practically the plan that
I outlined In an interview given out
last lall.*
Mate Ready for Prohbition
\ "As I see the situation now, I be
lieve .the State Is ready to take even
a greater step towards prohibition
than this’, but such k plan will, prac
tically, give u» three-fourths or more
of the State for prohibition.
"With the policy pi the State de

State penitentiary Alex. Hall, colored,

assault upon a Lexington county wo

The negro was arrested at Perry

however, and Officer Salley carried
him to Columbia Wednesday night
and he will remain here for safe

Sunday afternoon Hall stopped at
the home of Mr. C. Wint Sox, at
Edmunds, about 10 miles from Lex
ington. Mrs. Sox was the only per
son at home. He asked her for a
drink of water and she started to get
It for him. when he turned and ex
claimed;^ "You are what I want, not
the water," At the aame time he
made a dash for Mrs. Sox, but she
grabbed a hammerless fcun and at
tempted to aboot him, whereupon he
dashed out of the house. She did not
know how to operate the gun, other
wise she would have been able to fill
him with lead before he could have
possibly escaped. Mrs. Sox gave the
arm immediately and a number of
nearby citlxena started In pursuit of
the negro.
Chief of Police Salley of Perry was
informed over the telephone about
the attempted assault and wag asked
to keep a lookout for the negro. Mon
