AN OT11 Ell Oil AFTER IN MATT Ell OF NEOUO NOTARIES. Mr. A. J. Rothen, secretary to Gov. Ansel, yesterday received a letter from a friend in Beaufort telling some inter esting fiuts in connection with the mat ter of 'ippninting negroes to the office of not iry public? Then' have been 2f> appointments of negroes in Bcaufortin the last 20 years at the hands of the following governors, respectively: Richardson, 1; Tillman, 11; Evans, :{; Fllerbe, McSweency, 1; lieyward, 1; Ansel, none. Mr. Rethen was amused at the man ner in which an unfriendly paper had dodged tb ? issue, since the refutation of the malicious charges against Gov. Ansel, "This paper, tho first to start the insinuation that OoV. Ansel was the only governor t<> appoint a negro as notary," said Mr. Rethen, "has not had the moral courage to come DU I and ad mit that it has wronged tho governor and it has wronged him more than once --but has made a lame excuse for its fall down by saying that the governor's friends are trying to hide behind Gov. Tilhnan's record. "Of course that is untrue. All that my statement sought to do was to show that (!ov. Ansel's conduct was in keep ing with that of other governors and Senator Tilhnan's name was used to re fute the direct and untrue charge that Gov. Ansel was the first governor to appoint a negro as notary after Mr. Tillman had revoked commissions of all notaries. "1 have . hown conclusively that Gov. Ansel in two years appointed but two negroes as notaries and in one county Gov. Tillman appointed 11, it seems. This is published not to discredit any other governor, not to take any advan tage of precedent, but to give a flat denial to tho charge published in the same paper. Mere is the verbatim charge they made: "'When Gov. Tillman went into oillce, it is said, he found many negroes holding the olliee of notary public, and to get rid of them ho had tho legisla ture to revoke tho law under which they were appointed and a new law enacted. After that there wert- no more ap pointed, so far as WO kh >W, until it he came reported thai Gov. Ansel had ap pointed a negro of Greenville a notary public.' " The State, duly 31. rilinks it Saved His Life. I.ester M. Nelson. of.Na' l _7dauio, says in a recent I..?'."I lilt VC used Dr. King's N^j'TJineovery many years for v'....gfis and colds -and I think it saved my life. 1 have found it a reliable rem edy for throat and lung complaints and would no more ho without a bottle than I would be without food."
