News and Courier: AT the council 0f

ter last week, 1t was unanimously de-
cided that the proposed memorial to
the late Right Rev. Ellison Capers, for
many years the beloved bishop of this
diocese. take the form of double
house. to be erected on the grounds OF
the Church Home Orphanage, at York
vile. Bishop Query and the board OF
trustees of this institution have APP
pointed DcacOneSS VILE to visit the
principal towns of the diocese in the
interest of this memorial. in order that
those who knew and loved this godly
man may have share in thus perpct-
uating his memory among the people
who were so dear to his neart, and at
the same time may further the welfare
of the little children, for whom he had
a peculiarly tender feeling. Deaconess
Vile has with her very interesting
sketches and drawings by the architect
I'm charge of the work. and will be glad
to exhibit these to any one who would
like to see them. and in this way
bring home to them more fOrcibly the
character and extent of the building
proposed to be erected I'm memory of
the good bishop.

RoYd and Brock.

We have been more than diSguSted
with the conduct of Gen. Boyd in his
attitude toward his assistant, Col.
Brock. Not satisfied with one charge
he makes another and another. culm-
mating in a final demand for the resig-
nation of Mr.. Brock. 1t strikes US that
II Is clearly a case of jealousy, and II
there is any one who has the authority
to do so, we are very decidedly of the
opinion that he should not only de-
mand. but force Mr.. Boyd to hand in
his resignation.
We have never felt that Mr.. Boyd
was the man for the place ne has been
holding. and if the people OF South
Carolina do their duty, in the next
primary, they will retire him to prl-
vate life where he will not be able to
make himself so cOnspicuouSly ride
ulous.-Greenwood Journal.
We are not going to fall out with the
Journal in it's estimate of General
Boyd, nor with it's suggestion as to
what should be done; but we are OF
opinion that if our contemporary will
look more deeply into the matter. it
will arrive at faint suspicion that 1t
may not nave covered the whole sub
iect For instance it might ask itself
a question like this: IF Gen. Boyd was
never the man for the place he is
holding, why was he elected" If the
answer credits this result to Gen.
Boyd's own merit and ability, it would
also argue that the incumbent Is the
right man in the right place. If how
ever, another solution Of the problem is
arrived at, that solution might be that
the general is the beneficiary of some
kind of a wheel within a wheel ar
rangement, and it would follow that
maybe Mr. Brock might be at least a
spoke of the inner wheel. OF course,
there is a good deal of the ridiculous
in the idea that Col. Brock as assist
ant adjutant general should serve as a
scout to recOnnoitre the political fences
of his chief and if Col. Brock has in
stead been looking after mis- own
fences, we do not see anything bad
wrong about it. So far as the eX-
pense account is concerned, we calcu-
late that while it has probably been
liberal enough. it has not been very
different from other expense accounts
in the same connection. But somehow
we think tnat if the public should adopt
the idea of the Journal and attempt to
dispose OF the whole matter merely by
the squelching of Boyd. the clean up
would be far from satisfactory, and as
far from permanent.
