Martin, Lee Nance and Wade Perrin, representatives and B. F. Randolph, senator, were assassinated by the Ku-Klux Klan. Page 111--"Among Mr Robertson's earliest official acts was the recommendation of an incompetent colored man to be postmaster at Columbia." If you will look at the sketch I gave of Mr Wilder, the postmaster referred to, you will note that in 1880 when the Democrats had absolute control of South Carolina and Gens. Hampton and Butler represented the State in the U. S. Senate, Mr Wilder was confirmed for the fourth time, and as Columbia was the home post office of Senator Hampton it is not likely that he or Butler would have voted to confirm an imcompetent colored man when senatorial courtesy would have sustained them had they objected. Page 229--W. R. Jervay, should be Jar_vey_. Page 233--Relative to Henry E. Hayne going to the communion table I have to say that is all rot in so far as there were any objections. The communicants with the exception of Mr Babbitt and family were nearly all colored. I know that the wardens and vestrymen were colored. Page 234--I do not know about all of the colored men mentioned as having matriculated in the School of Law, but I am certain that Mr Wilder did not. Page 236--William R. Jervay, should be Jer_vey_
