Ride And Tic.
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 ?

xisted for several years, the feud I
living its origin in a row over a

he fight yesterday was not the
irst. battle since the feud started,
lit it was the most protracted

ts soon as the combatants have
