A Most Valued Exchange. [.Vwj and Courier.] One of the ablest editors of the State ha sithdrawn trom the editorial fraternity. ITie lewspaper cr.reor of Mr. W. C. lionet has eon brief but brilliant. In the short space f two years he has aclieived nn enviable rep- a tatlon as a deep thinker and clear writer, j nd his abandonment of the profession to | ractlce at the bar is a matlerof sincere regret a his brother editors throughout the State. Fortunately for the Press and Jlanncr, its lanagement. remains under tho control of Ir. Hnsrh Wilson, the senior proprietor, of rliotn Mr. He net. in ills valedictory, truly nyx: > "With an eye single to the Interests of the jj conic, he has fur yeais jealously guarded tu heir rlulits without selfishness and with nj ntlre Independence. In nil nial.terR pertainng to the business of nn editor. Mr. Wilson ju eeps himself abreast wit h the times, and he pj eserves, If any man In the State deserves, he honor of being called a thoroughly practl- L ul and advanced newspaper man."

Wardlaw, while Mr. Hugh Wilson, ei the veteran jonrnnllst, remains at the helm, fr Change Is one of the most, relentless laws of nature, and our every Instinct leads us to ex- ni pcct It on every hand, yet at times we are m prone to Interpose our objection even to the tl Inevitable. In this instance we regret that Mr. lionet has concluded lo sever his connection with the Journalistic profession, for he hail already taken a position In the front rank and his ability has been recognized through- a out the State. "We hope his highest ambl- T tlons mny be gratified in his chosen profes- u sionof law, and at the same time extend a eonllal welcome toMr. AVanllaw, hoping that lie will find It both congenial and profitable in his new associations. * A Sterling Exclmngc. p, Columbia Yeoman. rt This week's number of this sterling ex- ^ change announces the dissolution of thepart- _ ncrship between Hugh Wilson and W.

Mr. Iienet J is a polished scholar and writer, and the press of the State loses a good pen by his retirement.
