Tue Darlingtou News, edited by
Alex G. 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.

Christmas.
[ 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.
