Kollock stens to delight in sneering at Senator McLaurin aid Governor EUterbe. In the last issue of the "News," its editor in comment ing on Governor Ellerbe's action, in ordering the return of the liquor seized from the New England Socie ty, endeavored to be insulting to Sen ator McLaurin, by referring to him as "Johnnie McLaurin" and in the same connection and sentence it re fers to the Seuator from Massaelbu setts as "Senatoc Hoar." This is not the first time we have noticed the editor of the "News" showing a dis position to see no good in those he does not like; his contempible little sneer at us when TE Tin.:s editor was elected to the Senate was an ex hibition of littleness that we could not give our consent to notice at the time, for we have an abhorrance of a controversy with a man whose utter ances have so little weight, and es peeially with a man who is inflated with himself, and "gets funny, when called down." It will be remember ed what a complete flunk Editor Kol lock made at the campaign meeting at Oats' in Darlington in 1896, when he undertook to catechizeJudge Earle. He was away from the county seat, but was accompanied by Colonel J. J. Dargan whose hatred for Earle was notorious. Kollock had published a series of questions and said mnany so vare things about Earle,and when tha -catepaigners reached Oats' Kollock confronted him with his questions, and he made a pitiful spectacle of I.imself. Mr. Kollock simply could not stand the fiery flash from Earle's eye, not even with Colonel Dargan's backing. When Earle replied, it be came apparent that Kollock was only a little machine which Colonel Dar gan procured to distribute his malice, and it needed only a few words to make the fellow squeal and apologet ically say, "We are not making any big fight on you Judge, but are just having a little fun." That is what he said, after heaping all sorts of abusive criticism on Ear-le, and after going several miles away from the county seat accompanied by Eerle's known enemy to do the squelching act. Kol lock on that occasion made himself an object of contempt and he has never 1:ecovered. His sneering at McLau i-in and Elierbe has as much effect on the public mind, as a drizzling rain has on a duck's back, and the only reason we have noticed him, it is a good opportunnity to let him know that some day his bilious temperment may get him into such an awkward position that his "sarcostiveness" will not aid him, and his "having-a-little fun"propensities may get him squelch ed more effectually than he was at Oats' on the 23rd day of July 1896. The formal sovereignty of Cuba passed to the United States last Sun day amid the booming of cannon and martial music. We publish an Asso ciated press account elsewbere and it makes interesting reading. Some of our exchanges seem some what exercised over the report that General M. C. Butler will oppose Senator Tillman next year. In the first place we do not believe General Butler has any such intention, and in the second place, he has a right to run if he feels so disposed. Senator Tillman can be opposed as well as any other man, the only thin g is, will the opposition to him succeed? We think not, unless he makes some se ious mistakes. Clarendon has good reason to con gratulate herself inasmuch as the Sheriff had no property to sell under the hammer. Among our exchang es we could trace the march of debt, by the advertisements of the sheriff, selling on last Monday, real estate under foreclosure proceedings, but happily for the condition of our peo ple, there were no sales here. Al though our people ccmplain about their hard lot, and imagine they are worse off than are the peoples of oth-. er sections, the fact of other sections at their county seats having their propert~y sold for debt, and none here should convince them they are even NO)T A IIINT OF INDEPEND)ENCE. "Sovereignty of Cuba I'asses tO the Uiled States." Havana, Jan. l.-The sovereignty of Cuba passed flom Spain to the United States at noon today. The form of the transfer was simple, con sisting only o' an exchange of speech es in the salon of the palace, the hauling down of the Spanish flag and the raising in its stead the flag of the United States on the flagstaff on the palace roof. Salutes were tired froni the heavy guns of the forts and the warships before and after the change of flags. The raising of tbe Stars and Stripes were greeted with cheers by the people, who covered the roofs of the buildings around the palace and the plaza. No crowd was permitted to gather in the streets in the vicivity of the palace to witness the epoch-making function. At 9 o'clock a guard com posed of the 2d battalion of the 10th infantry, marched into the Plaza Da Armas, ulnder command of Capt. Van VYiJt and formed around the square. Captain General Castellanos watched them with interest from the balcony of his apartments as they entered the square and were stationed at all the streets approaching the plaza. No one was allowed to enter without a pass, and all the doors of the palace faciug the square were ordered to be closed. Only those who could get on the roofs and balconies of houses in the neighborbood saw what was go ing on before the palace. With the guard was the band of the 2d Illinois regiment, which had been selected for the occasion as the best band of the 7th army corps. With the band were the buglers ol the 8th and the 18th infantry. . The weather was warm, the sun bursting at intervals through the light clouds, and tho soldiers in blue who were forced to stand in6 the sun found the heat oppressive. The troops were formed in extended or der around the square, tbree paceE apart, and the band was massed in front of the palace entrance across the street at the edge of the park. Brig. Gen. Clous, the master oi ceremonies of the day, at 10:30 o'clock issued instructions to the officers whc were to take charge of the various de partments of the government at 12 o'clock. Col. Dudley was assigned to the department of justice, office of the secretary of the Captain Gen eral; Major L. W. V. Kennon, adju tant general of the department, to the department of commerce and agricul ture; Col. T. U. Bliss, of the commis sary department, to the treasury: Cap'. Frank B. Hanna, assistant adju. tant general, to the department ol public instruction, and Col. Dun woody, of the signal corps, to the pub lie works department. Each of these officers were instructed thus: "On the firing of the last gun of the first twenty-one at noon, you are to go to the place assigned you and demand possession of the office in the name of the United States." These orders were given under the arcade of the palace. Each officer had with him a Cuban interpreter, a group of whom stod by clad in 'aark~ clothes and wearing silk hats. In a carriage nearby were the American flags which were to be raised at va rious points. At 11:10 Major Gen. Wade and Major Gen. Butler, of the American evacuation comnmission, arrived from El Vedado, accompanied by their staffs. They were met by Brig. Gen. Clous and Major T. Bentley Mott, of Con. Ludlow's staff. About the same moment Lucien J. Jerome, British vice consul, arrived. He was warmly greeted by the American officers. Major Gen. John R. Brooke, Gov ernor of Cuba, and Major Gjen. Lud low, Governor of the city of Havana, accompanied by their staffs, arrived at half-past 11 in carriages, Gen. Brooke and Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, Gen. Erooke's chief of staff, in the first carriage. In each of the other carriages rode a Cuban general with American officers. The Cubans were Gens. Lacret, Mario Menocal, Mayia Rodriguez, Serafin Sanches, Jose Mig uel Gomez, Nodarte, Rafael De Car denas, Agramente and Vidal and Col. Valiente. As the carriages drove up the 2d company of the 38th Spanish infantry, under command of Col. Don Rafael Salamanca, presented arms, and the American band started up with "The Stars and Stripes Forever," the Spanish colonel saluting. At 11:45 Major Gen. Lee, Military Governor of the Province of Havana, with his staff, joined Gen. Brooke. The latter then crossed the street to the palace, Gen. Lee on one side of him and Gen Chaffee on the other, followed by other American generals and the Cuban officers. The Cubans wore dark blue uniforms, brown felt ats and gray gloves, and they car ried machetes. A flourish of trumpets greeted the procession and the Spanish troops presented arms as the Americans en tered the palace. The Cubans re mained outside until escorted in by members of Gen. Brooke's staff, the Spanish soldiery remaining all the while at "present arms." As soon as all were within the Spanish troops formed a column of fours and marched around the right side of the plaza to the docks, while the band of the 2d illinois volunteers played the Span ish "Royal March." THE SCENE IN THE PAL~cE. On entering the palace the Ameri can generals went to the salon facing the plaza, which is on the second floor. Here were gathered the mem bers of the Captain General's staff, Col Gelpi, Lieut Cols Belied, Girauta and Bonitas, Major Priego, Capt Rit se and Capts Adolfo and Ramnon Uastellanos, sons of the Captain Gen eraL The Americans grouped themselves near a large mirror, between the two central windows, the Spanish staff being on the right, while on the left were the American staffs, the Cuban generals and the correspondents. Suddenly Captain General Castel lanos entered the salon without cere mony from the left and greeted Gen eral Brooke and others. After shak ing hands, Gen. Brooke sat upon a sofa, while Gen. Castellangs moved towards the group of Cuban generals. British Tice Consul Jerome intro duced him to Gen. Mayia Rodriguez. Shaking both hands of the Cuban officer, in the usual Spanish fashion, Gen. Castellanos: "We have been enemies, but I respect you for your corret attitudes and opinins. TI have pleasure in shaking your hand." Gen. Rodriguez replied: "I thank you, General. I feel soiry for the Spanish army, which has defended the banner it was sworn to defend. I also have pleasure in shaking your hands." Captain General Castellanos thein took his position near Major Gen. Brooke. The buzz of conversation on the American side of fbe carmber contrasted with the silence on the Spanish side. There was a marked differenice, too, between Anericans an Spaniards the former tall, heavy and weariug much gold cord; the latter small aud slight, in bluestriped cambric uni forms. The Spaniards were lepress ed, the Americans were correspond ingly buoyant. At the last stroke of 12 the boom of a gun brought all eyes to the point in the room where stood the Captain General, who was talking with an American officer. Immediately all was silence. The Captain General stepped to the left, talking his posi tion directly in front of his staff. On his right stLood Capt. J. S. Hart, in tei preter to the United States milita ry commission. Next to Capt. Hart, in the order named, were Gens. Chaf fe, Brooke, Ludlow, Lee, Wade, But )er and Clous. Immediately behind Gen. Chaffe was Senator John W. ganiel, of Virginia. At this moment the band on the plaza was playing the Spanish nation al hymn. As the guns at Cabanas fortress ceased firing there was a breathless pause in the salon. Every body knew that the American flag was being raised on the staff on the roof of the palace by Major Butler, son of Gen. Butler, and that the Stars and Stripes was going up on all the other official staffs in Havana. After this second of silence the band on the plaza played "The Star Spangled Banner," while the guns of the fleet and fortress began to roar out a nat ional salute of twenty-one guns. Immediately Captain General Cas tellanos handed the manuscript of his speech to Captain Hart and began to speak. Addressing himself to Major Gen Wade, president of the United States millitarv commission, Gen. Castella nos said: Gentlemen: In compliance with the treaty of Paris, the agreement of the military commissioners of the island and the orders of my King, at this moment of noon, January 1, 1899, there ceases in Cuba Spanish sover eignty, and begins that of the United States. In consequence I declare you in command of the island, with the object that you may exercise it, de claring to you that I will be first in respecting it. Peace having been es tablisheF between our respective Governments, I promise you to give all due respect to the United States Government, and I hope that the good relations already existing be tween our armies will continue until the terminition of the evacuation of those under my orders in this territo After Capt. Hart had translated the address, Gen. Wade said to Gen. Brooke: "I transfer this command to you." Maj. Gen. Brooke said: "I accept this great trust, in behalf of the G3ov ernent and President of the United States, and (addressing Captain Gen eral Castellanos) I wish you and the gallant gentlemen with you a pleas ant return to your native land. May prosperity attend you and all who are with you." Gens. Brooke and Castellanos then shook hands, after which Gen. Castel lanos and staff retired from the throne room, shaking hands with Mr. [Jerome, who stood near the door of exit. As they retired there was a movement toward Gen. Brooke, Brig. Gen. Clous shaking him by the hand saying: "Success to you." Gens. Brooke and Chaffee, with others, then stepped upon the balcony and looked down upon the plaza. A big Amer ican flag flying over the arsenal was in full view, and farther away the Stars and Stripes streamed over Ca banas Fortress. Meanwhile the offi cials of Spain were saying farewell to their nations seat of power in the New World. Turning to his officers, Gen Castel lanos said, with tears in his eyes: "Gentlemen, I have been in more battles than I have hairs on my head, and my self-possession has never fail ed me until to-day. Adieu, gentle men, adieu." . DEPARTURE OF GEN. cASTELLA~oS. Then, with arms up-raised, Gen. Castellanos swiftly rroved towvard the stairway, escorted by Gen. Chaffe, and followed by his staff. As he cross ed the plaza the American ladies, who were standing in the balcony of the barracks waved handkerchiefs, and Gen. Castellanos responded by bow ing and kissing his hand toward them. At the dock Gens. Clous and Cbaffee bade him farewell, and the retiring Captain General put off for the Span ish transport Rabat, on which he will proceed to Matanzas. He will be ac companied by a battalion of the 38th infa ntry. How's Titis!I WVe offr one nundred dollars reward for aun cas~e of catarrb that cannot be cured by lI:ol's Cattarrhi Cure. I . J.

[ Eis p-..m w:- rcceive. too late for last issue'. -ED.] And now again has Christmas come A Christmas bright and sweet, When children's hearts are filled with cheer And they with joy do meet; A time when they with love have met And jointly filled a tree, Or else have bidden home farewell And gone their friends to see; A time to which they have looked With anticipations bright, Awaiting for the day to come And them to see the light, That they may each and every one [To whom these blessings go] See if old Santa Claus has done As he has done before If he has filled their hats and caps, And hanging stockings too, That they may count their presents out, If many or if few. So now they'll speud their happiest time, Yes, happiest of the year; Although it took so long to come, Yet now-yes, now it's here. The "young folks," too, as they are called Are bidding her "come in, We, too, would like to have some fun And have it now begin." They look with pleasure to the mirth Now coming into sight, And hope that no unlooked-for blast Their cherished hopes will blight. It seems to dwell within us all, "She comes but once a year, And while she, in her turn, rolls round, I ought to get my share." Now comes the last but not the least, The old folks-where are they? Are they encircled in their homes, Not thinking of the day? Ah, no! Although they stay at home, And do not run and play, Yet their felicity must show They know it's Christmas day. Yes, all do like the Christmas dawn, Its merriment to see, When all is joy and gayety And ecstasy and glee. Though all must quiet be this time, As Christmas came on Sunday; Yet don't forget we'll make it ring As soon as we see Monday. And now may we these pleasures meet (Which come in various ways) With cheerful hearts, and all enjoy Our Christmas holidays. But what! Shall these things always be, And we no trouble know? Exhilaration will not last, There's something else before. A new year now is drawing nigh, When Christmas will have past, (And which of us-can eit'ier tell But that it is his last?) When duties of another year Surround us one and all, And we must overcome and rise Or else succumb and fall. Then, as a new year we being Its race begin to run, May we employ a worthy aim In what we've just begun To help us reach the greatest height That ever man has sought, Which is a useful, nobler life, A mind of purest thought. And may we go forth to our work WVith all-inspired zeal; May we our duties all perform, And difficulties wield. For none of us expect to rise -. On flowery bedsv of ease, ~ While others fight to win the prie And sail through trying seas. Yes, we must strive if we would win That prize of price untold, And they who seek it otherwise Can never reach the goal. So may we each and every one Start out at any rate To make next Christmas pleasanter Than this of ninety-eight. By trying harder than before To make our lives sublime, The fruits of which can only prove In coming days and time. R. L. J. Davis, S. C., Christmas, 1898. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
