FWe Welcome HIim with a Crowii ?
To-day John C. Sheppard returns
unto his own home and his people
to remain for a while perhaps in
private life. Edgefield welcomes
with a crown of laurel the son who
has done her such high honor. His
late magnificent official message
ranks his name with the very ablest
and prodest of South Carolina's
Governors. And the history of South
Carolina, in this respect, is a lofty
and heroic one.
John C. Sheppard's ten years of
public life will bear very close sern
tiny. He has lived and served South
Carolina through troublous tunes,
with brave spirit, with clean hands,
with an upright conscience, with
dignity and influence for good, with
a name wholly unspotted, with in.
tegrity unsullied, with pati ioti;mn un.
suspected. Ile has stood faithful to
the Constitit ion, fait,h'ul to the State
of South Carolina, faithful to his
own charater and life.

John C. Sheppard has fallen short
of none of the requirements of the
high places he has held. Very soon
-in tbe full maturity of his finl, in
tellectuality, in the full tide of his
acceptableness, in the ripeness of his
usefulness-we shall need himi in
public life again. And, as E(dgeleld
now placeo the crown upon his head,
let her watch that timne,--.Edcp:/e/ld(i

distinguished lit of the Gov+"rnors

As is always tlit ca., when a
young man achieves high political

sider the exalted position which Gov.

entirely to good fortune. N (ver was

natural endownents of his mind by
systematic culture and training; with
a soiund ju(dgment he combines a
promptness of action adt a fear1tss
of consequences, which shoulhi Coi

these degenerate days of far seeing
politicians. Courteous and consid

sesses those qualities of nind and
heart which endear him to all with
whom he comes in contact. To these
qualities are due the political prefer

the people of South Carolina. Possess

can be no doubt that in the future
new honors await him, and we can
heartily say with the News ad Cou

Governor Sheppard retires from
iis high oflice with the good will, re
ipect and admiration of the people
)f this State. Since 18'6l he has

ier of retrenchment and reform. As
4peaker of the house and President
>t the Senate he distinguished him
telf as one of the best presiding
)fllcers the State has ever had. lie
ias lost nothing since he occupied

ssued by him has been marked by

His course has been wise and the
