In Do.Eggleston's 4'History of the I"nitcd Stales undlts People." written for the school and, #by the wuv, a most excellent uml interesting book-the author, describing the conditions that prevailed in Washington's time says: "Probably the most conifnrta bio (if ull modes of travel at the tmo was that of riding on horsebuck. Two people often traveled with one horse. The first rode ahead and tied the horse l?v tInroad: the second, when became up, rode on past his companion and in turn tied the horse and-lelt him for the other. This was rulle 1 'traveling bv ride and tie We would respectfully commend this mode to some of the officers in South Carolina. There are not enough offices to go round, and if the same set continue to hold those from year to year there is no chance for the others. Having ridden a reasonable distance ahead of their fellow-citizen, it .vonld bo a graceful a?--t to got down and "tie" and walk on, loavtig the office for some tired and torn private citizen who has been walking many a weary day and waiting for a lift, but failing to get it because of the greed of the fellows who insist on riding all the time. Except in ea>cs of offices requiring special training and skill, there should he frequent rotation: and the rotation slu uld not be that kind which rotates a man from one office into another, but the kind that rotates one out and another in. Wl en the state has been so fortunate as to got a good superintendent of the insane asylum or of the pententiarv or of the public schools be should be retained in lint +\n offices, like that of governor or comptroller or secretary of stale, and nearly all the rest, where anv man of ordinary ability can discharge the dot let, there is no reason for keeping the same set in from year to year. It is really hettei for the state to have the frequent infusion of new hlood than to have an office holding class. Those who are iri are going to stay as long as they can, and it will therefore ho left to the people to tell them when to get out. And this they will do in the course of time. The "revolution" of 1S90 hud its hasic strength in the fact that the same men had been holding on to the offices so long and showed no signs of giv ing.up. Then the people took a hand made and a change. Many of the men now in office have been riding long enough. It is time for them to get down and walk awhile and let others ride ? News and Observer.
