As slrenily mcntioni-d in tlirso col it nnti *. tliHie are two propound arm-iidiuioit* to the State Constitu tion which will be voted on at tho approaching general election, and the t-loctora w ill bo confronted at tho |m>IIh with four formidable bil lots, on one of w hich will be pilntcd the word*, “Consul utiou.d Amend ment in reference to School Com mistdoners -Yon.” Those who arc in favor of piuc ng the appointment of the School CommisHioti'r in the hands of the Governor instead of allowing it to remain an elective office, will vote this ballot. There wi I also be ballots containing the same words as above, followed by the word “No,” for the use of those who may be opposed to the amend me nt. Again, those in favor ot changing the term of office ot the Probate Judge from two .tears to four will cast a ballot con tain mg the words, “Constitutional Amendment, Ar tide IV. Section 20—Yes,” while the usual provision will be made for the accrmmodation of those oppos ed to the amendment. The latter ameudmetU; is un doubtedly a good one. The great fault with our system of govern ment is the coustnut elections which distract people from their business and unsettle the country generally. It would be a great improvement if the terms of all of our State and County officers were for four years instead of two. While the present School Commissioner of Darling ton County could not be improved upon, there are many Cooties in thv State which would find their public school managemeut greatly bene fited if the Governor were given the power to select the CotntuU- sioners. For that reason we would tie heartily in favor of this amend- mentalso, hut for the tact that it will in all probability be of no avail oven if it should be adopted. Aa is now the case with the Auditors and Treasurers, the Governor would feel compelled to abide by the decision of tho primaries, so that the method of chosing the Com missioner will be practically un altered. gency arise. I remember a cold rainy night in Virginia, while I was in charge of a picket line, I gave the men peimis sion to build fires a short distance behind where tt.o sentry stood It was not long b'-foie a staff officer came around and ordered the Ores put out immediately. He was sen: by our Colonel who was quarter*d in a large white house some dis tauce in the r«ar. 1 had to go from post to post and fell the wet cold men what I bad bceu ordered to do, but instead of doing as I was or dered, I told the men to move the tires on the opposite side of the tiees so it could uot be seen from the house until they knew the Cols ouel was in bed then they could move it back. Such disobedience of orders as this might be e.dled oaielessness on my part, hut I felt satisfied that uo enemy would be looking for us such a night as that. Our condition now is different. The enemy is among us watching us and we should not be guilty of any carelessness or indifference, but sfaud together ready, ami we are invincible. E. W. Cannon. Hartsville, 8.

THB OTHER SIDE OF THE BAR GAIN- Several weeks ago we put a “re minder” on the top of the papers sent out to certain of oareubscrib ere, for the purpose of calling their attention to the fact that they were in arrears. Some few took notice of this “reminder” iu a substantial manner, but owing to the continued oversight of the large majority, we are compelled to repeat the opera- tiou again to day, however much we may regret to refer to this sub ject again. Each subscriber who may be $2 in arrears doubtless thinks that it is a small matter but if some two or three hundred of them were to come to t he conclusion that they should deposit their mile, The Darlington News would soou be placed iu the position whete we would like to see it. We arc doing our part by you, subscribers, and must again earnestly urge that you perform your portion of the contract, thereby placing it in our power to furnish the County of Darlington with as good a paper as it deserves, aud one in which every citizen would ft cl a pride. Monday next, Sale Day iu No vember, will be the occasion for a gathering in town of people from ail parts of the County. Let tuose among the number who represent our “delinquent subscribers” re member to call at the News office aud cancel their indebtedness, aud those who aie not coming to town on that day should instruct some friend who will be here to adjust this little affair for them.
