To Journalism all over the couth the announcement from Richmond, Va., that Major .1. C. Ilemphlll is going to leave the Charleston News and Courier to accept the editorship of the Richmond-Times Dispatch, Is distinctly a surprise. Since the tragic death of tin- lamented Francis D. Dawson the News and Courier and Major .1. C. Ilemphlll have been syn onymous. In fact, there has, perhaps, never been a man In southern journ alism more inseperably connected with his paper, unless it was Cnpt. Dawson, than has been Major Ilemp hlll with the News and Courier; and few men have hud longer connection with any one newspaper than he has with that one. Major Ilemphlll has spent the great er number of years of his life in the service of the News and Courier, and in tiny ? yours has done a world of work for Charleston, and in making tin; paper what it is today. His con servatism, stability and reliability were marks of the man, even in those j days when be was a member of the reportorJal staff of the News and I Courier From one who knows him, it can be said with an unusual amount of sincerity thai the Times-Dispatch, I , and Richmond are gaining a great deal and Charleston will be :i heavy loser, when Major llcmphill leaves the News and Courier.
