The Right Man in the Right Place,

COL II. J. Lipscomb, the present
efficient superintendent Of the Pcni-
4cntiary and who has i.cld that posi-.
tion for the past eight years, was
reelected last Thursday by a hand,
some majority over three compcti.
tors, receiving 9U. votes out Of 1856,
joint assembly. 1t may be correctly
said Of lin that he is "the right man
in the right place" He has managed
that institution with marked success.
When be took Charge Of it in 1878,
it was @ heavy expense to the State
Under his successful administration
the PcHitcntiary soon became not
only sclf-sustaining, but source of
revenue, important improvements be-
ing added in the way Of erecting new
buildings, and constructing a sub.
stantial brick wall around the same.
He is still building and cnlarging
the Penitcntiary, and will soon
have room for 1000 convicts. There
are something over 700 inside the
the walls.--LUWcnS Herald.

a Burning Shame.

Col. ID. +. Bradley, Collector Of
Internal Revenue for South Caro-.
lima, must have very soft place in
his heart for the old Radical thieves
who plundcred this State prior to
their overthrow in 1876. lie has re.
Gently dismissed from the Office of
Deputy Collector at Columbia Mr.
M. b. Sloan, a true and tried Dem
ocrat, and re-instated one Jack Lit.
tie, notorious Radical. who used to
fill the same position under Brayton
Why n man like Little should re-
ceive any favors at the hands Of Il
Democratic official can only be cx-
planned by Col. Bradley. During
the days Of good stealing Little was
"hail fellow we'll met with the worst
element Of the Radical party an
was one Of the very last Of the gang
to let go the public tcat. lie worked
with might and main to defeat the
Democracy in 1854, and is no doubt
at this very moment rcvilcr and
hater of the Democratic party and
it's President. In all common de-.
cency we would like to know if this
is the man to take precedence Of
good Democrats when offices are to
be distributed Was the victory
1884 gained for the purpose of re.
tanning such men in Office Verify
not, and if Col. Bradley does not
know it, he should be made acquaint.
ed with the fact as soon as possible.
SO far as the dismissal Of Mr.. Sloan
is concerned, we have not a word to
say, but what we object to is the ap.
pointmcnt Of SO notorious Radical
as Little to SO important and lucra.
tive an office in Jur State, and VIC
hope that the Indignation Of the pco.
pie will be SO loudly and unmistakc.
able expressed that even Col. Brad.
ley will be compelled to respect their
wishes and put mono but Democrats
on guard. He should either do this,
or get out of the way and make room
for a Democrat that will.--Orun0e.

Is this Civil Service.

Collector Bradley has discharged
Mr.. NIcB. Sloan and installed j. II.
Little in the Office Of Chief Deputy
Collector.
Mr.. Sloan is q merchant is Colum-
bia and member Of the City Coun.
Gil and this is why he has been turn.
ed out. lie occupies the same posi-
ton now that he held when the ap-
pointmcnt was made.
Little is notorious radical who
held the Office under Brayton. The
public desire to know why a good
democrat, who is not even charged
with incompetency should make room
for radical under Democratic Adj
ministration. Can it be civil service
reform ? If so deliver us from all
such stuff.-Luurch$ 1ldccrti$cr. Dee.

Why Not Appoint Il Democrat?

EDITOR RECORD do not want
the appointment, nor would L accept
it if offered to me, and l an very
sorry that I feel called upon to write
this letter asking you to give it
space. We Democrats until now
have had no showing sat government
pap" since the war. After under
going all the hardships Of the past
aud capturing the citadel, l think
that those OF us who are competent
should enjoy the fruits Of the victory.
This matter is brought forcibly to
my mind by the removal Of Mr.
Sloan from position in the u. S.
Revenue Department.. I do not pre-.
tend to question Col. Bradlcy's right
to make removals and appointments
at will, but believe that voice thc
sentiment Of the people and the party
which has honorcd him when | say
that he has taxed their good patience
just a little too much when he turns
out competent and deserving Dem
ocrat without assigning good and sulll.
cient cause, and ignores the hundred
and odd thousand Democrats Of the
State to whom he owes his own posi-.
tion and appoints man to fill the
place who is Republican, and no.
toriously 50 in 1876, being a leader,
if [ am correctly informed, among
the people who, with guns in their
hands, disputed the right Of the Wal
lace House (of which believe Col.
Bradley was mcmber) to enter the
State House, and would, at the com
mand Of John B. Dennis, have stain
ed his hand in the best blood Of the
| State.
l am not writing in the interest
Of MIR. Sloan. lie is out now, and being.
young man Of honesty and ability,
and withal deservedly popular with
his fclloW.mcn, can very we'll take
care Of himself; but VIC feel that his
cause is ours, and although we old
Confederate Democrats have become
accustomed and reconcllcd to the
advancement Of the "young Demo
! cracy" over us, we have not yet
reached the point that we can quick
~ swallow such dose as Col. Brad
ley has given us. With Capt. Lit.
ties individual capacity for the po.
! sition l have nothing to 10. have
no doubt that his experience during
"thc dark days" in the Revenue De.
partment render him a very useful
clerk, but | know there are plenty OF
our young men fully capable to per.
form any Of the duties connected
with the department.. 1t is Col. Brad.
ley's duty, in the exercise Of his ap-
pointing power, to give them due
consideration.
The whole thing appears SO mon,
strous on its face that | am forced to
the conclusion that Col. Bradlcy's
appointment Of Capt. Little is only
temporary, and that when he "catchcs
up with his work in the department
ne will do what is only right and
.Just-appoint Democrat.

If iti is Col. Bradley's opinion that
Radicals Of the Little stripe are
more eutitled to the Offices than good
Democrats he ought to said so before
he accepted the Office Of Collector.
In that ease, he might have remained

hopeless condition, the Saviour said: "Rise,
take up thy bed, and walk" The impo-
tent man is commanded to do these things
any one of which would demonstrate that
he was made whole before he was command
ed to rise. The Saviour found him pros
trate and helpless and he commands him to
rise. Nexth he is commanded to take up his
bed. 1t was no doubt a miserable thing.
It was the bed of a poor neglected man who
had been helpless for thirty-eight years. No
doubtit was hard bed, and had been poorly
tended to. Whatever were its defects it
was his bed and 80 far as we know his only
bed. 10 take it up would further demon
strate that he was made whole. Again he
was commanded to walk. For thirty-eight
years-more than half of a long life-he had
been confined to his bed. His whole physi-
cal strength whatever he may once have been
had was gone, his muscles had perished be-
cause they had not been used and he was
mere skeleton. This man who had lain
a-bed for thirty eight years is commanded
to walk. This added to his rising and
taking up his bed would prove beyond all
contradiction that he was not only recover
ing but that he was sound and we'll.
Immediately, we are told, the man who
had lain on his bed helpless for thirty-eight
years, twas made whole and took up his
bed and walked" No time interviewed be-
tween the command of the Saviour and its
execution by the man. The command was
in one moment and the execution was in
the following moment. Whence came this
power to the impotent man? Whence
came the power to the dead, and, as was
supposed, sinking corpse of Lazarus, to
come out of the sepulchre? The power
was in the word of Jesus. With the COM
mand to rise he gave the ''impotent man.
power to rise, with the command to take
up his bed he gave him the power to take
up the bed, and with the command to walk
he gave the power to walk. Just so it is
with men spiritually impotent. They are
commanded to repent and believe the gos-
pel-to accept of Jesus Christ as their saw
our. They are by nature dead in trespasses
and sins but still they are commanded to
believe. The power to believe in Jesus
Christ they have not, but he who gives the
command to believe gives the power to be-
lieve.
The healing of this "impotent man" was
miracle. No philosophy is able to account
for it. So the quickening of a soul dead in
sin is miracle of grace. No philosophy
can understand it, no philosophy can ex-
plain it. Never should we forget that the
whole of our duty consists in obedience.
When God commands it is rebellion to say
"we cannot" He never commands us to
do anything which he is not ready and
willing to give US the power to perform. A
good illustration of this is found in the case
of Moses, when sent to deliver his peo-
pie out of Egypt. Moses pleaded his ina
bility for the undertaking. I, in substance,
said God to him, made the tongue, and
can makeyour stammering tongue eloquent.
A case illustrative of the results or conse-
quences of disobedience is found in the case
of Saul who was sent to destroy Amelek.
Because he disobeyed, God rejected him
from being king.
