SOUTH CAROLINA HONORED.
The President on Monday
nominated Wade Hampton foe
Commissioner of the Railroads
and the nomination was prompt
ly confirmed by the Senate.
The position to which our old
hero has been appointed is in
the Interior Department and
the salary attached is $4,500 a
year (only $500 a year less than
the salary Hampton drew as
Senator.) The duties of the of
fice are such as will be most ac
ceptably performed by the sold
ier-statesman. In Cleveland’s
former administration the posi
tion was held by one whose
name, like Hampton’s, is dear to
the heart of every true South
erner—that distinguished Con
federate leader, Joseph E. John
stone.
The announcement of Hamp
ton’s appointment was not a
surprise. He had received a
most flattering endorsement
from the United States Senate—
from Democrats and Republi
cans alike—and the President
had announced his intention of
giving him a good place. The
newspapers regarded his ap
pointment as certain. Al
though expected, it none the
less gives genuine satisfaction
throughout the State. There
may be some who are not pleas
ed, but these represent the spir
it that moved their Legislators
to turn their backs upon South
Carolina’s greatest hero and to
send J. L. M. Irby to the Senate
in his stead. Rut this spirit, we
hope, will soon die.
It is unnecessary for us to say
anything in especial praise of
this appointment. It is only
what our hero deserved. His
distinguished services to the
State and country and his devo
tion to the people and the party
entitle him to recognition from
a Democratic administration
That Hampton will give great
satisfaction in the performance
of the duties of the office goes
without saying.
True South Carolinians rejoi
ce that their noble Hampton has
been honored. The whole South
rejoices that one of her fore
most leaders has been recogniz
ed by the President. And we
rejoice with our people. It is
refreshing to know that the
man who was the victim of in
gratitude in his own State is
rewarded with the esteem of the
country at large. The appoint
ment is a befitting tribute to
South Carolina’s “grand old
man.”
The Death of a Colored Man Prom
inent in Radical Days.
On the 9 inst a prominent and
familiar figure of radical times
was removed from our midst.
On that day Jordan Lang, col
ored, was called to his final ac
count. Lang was a member of
the convention of 18G8, which
framed the present Constitution
of the State, and served two
terms in the l^egislature imme
diately following the adoption
of the Constitution. During the
subsequent period of Recon
struction he was prominent in
county politics. His death oc
curred at his home on the Tim
monsville road about three
miles from town. He was about
eighty years old and leaves a
number of children. He had
amassed some property and it is
thought he was worth about
*5,000.

so again.
