AS TO APPOINTMENTS.

AS TO APPOINTMENTS.
He has been giving the matter of
his military staff some attention and
has his eyes on those whom he wishes
to make part of his official family.
These appointments are of such a
character as to exclude them from
the list which is usually applied for,
as it rarely occurs that personal ap-
plication is made for a staff appoint
ment, it being generally accepted
that the Governor should be hands
free in selecting those who are to be-
come his body guard. Even the So
lection Of those are source OF much
thought and care has to be exercised
30 that all sections are recognized
and given representation as far as
practicable, and thus it is that fre-
quently the best of friends have to
be overlooked IN order to make place
for another because of the locality
he halls from. 1t is safe to say that
the personnel of Gov. Heyward's
staff will be exceptionally fine, and
be representative of the best and
of the young manhood OF
the State.
He has been deluged with appli
cations for almost every appointive
Office in the State, but beyond se-
Letting his private secretary in the
person of J. E. Norment, which he
is gratifed to know was so satisfac-
torily received, he has abstained from
giving such applications any very
serious consideration. Very few of
these positions can be filed until
some timeafter his Inauguration, and
probably many of them not until
after the adjournment of the Legis-
Iature, and therefore there is no ne
cessity for his time and attention to
be devoted to their consideration at
this iuneture when so many more
pressing and important matters are
under consideration. The many ap
plicstions, therefore, are simply be
ing acknowledged and filed away for
future reference. The Inauguration
date has not been definitely determ-
ined upon, although it is probable
that the usual precedent will be fol-
lowed and the momentous event oc'
cur the second week of the legislat-
i've session. The Governor is giving
some thought to his inaugural mess
age, in order that the consideration
of that important document may be
disposed of.
