WADDY THOMPSON, Editor. Thursday, Nov. 23,1893. OUR NEW HOME. The office and composing rooms of The Darlington News have been removed to the hand some building recently erected by the Darlington Guards on Main Street just south of the Enterprise Hotel. The paper has secured large and commo dious quarters and its mana gers are now better prepared than ever to send their weekly United States naval force sta tioned in the harbor of Honolu lu, the capital of the islands. The part that Minister Stevens played in the revolution cannot be commended from any stand point. The revolutionists were evidently plajing a game, with his assistance, for their personal advancement. Great injustice has been done the Queen and her subjects who were satisfied with, and preferred, their own government. The best thing the United States can do is to make reparation by immediately restoring the Queen to her throne and her rights.

Everything has been arranged to make a model news paper office. The friends of The News are invited to call and inspect the new quarters ; they are assured of a hearty welcome. Whether one calls for business or merely to pay a social visit, he will find that The Darlington News in its new home keeps “open house,” just as it has always done heretofore. The managers of the paper will continue their untiring ef forts to furnish their patrons with a good, readable news paper and, if the people of Dar lington County will continue to stand by the “old reliable” as they have done for twenty years past, The Darlington News will remain at the front. Everybody who has ever vis ited The News office and seen its immense press and the many other cumbersome appliances used in its printing business, will readily appreciate what a tremendous undertaking a re moval is. Certain it is, there fore, that the readers of The News will willingly bear with its managers and overlook the fact that the paper has less lo cal and other original matter in this issue than is usually found in its columns. THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION. Several months ago when President Cleveland sent ex- Congressman Blount, of Geor gia, to Hawaii as special commissioner to examine into the affairs of the islands, we congratulated the President up on the selection, for we felt that no better man could be found for this difficult and delicate work. The results show that we were not mistaken. It will be remembered that early in the year the Queen of Hawaii was deposed by a peace ful revolution, a provisional government was established and a proposition was maae to the United States for the annex ation of the islands to this coun try. A treaty, providiug for annexation, was prepared just before the close of the Harrison administration. This treaty, however, was never ratified and put into force and upon the ac cession of Mr. Cleveland to the presidency the matter was still unsettled. President Cleveland, instead of pushing the matter of annex ation, decided to look further into the condition of affairs up on the islands and for this pi r- pose he sent Mr. Blount to Ha waii, who made a thorough in vestigation, and submitted to the authorities a full, careful and impartial account of the political, commercial and social conditions of the country. His report shows that the overthrow of the royalty and the establish ment of a provisional govern ment were the work of a few men, mostly foreigners, who concocted the scheme for specu lative purposes. The mass of natives desired to remain under the rule of the Queen and, in in fact, the new government could not have been established had not the then United States Minister, Mr. Stevens, assisted the revolutionists with the We are glad to be able to an nounce to our readers that the recent misunderstanding be tween Mr. T. J. Drew, editor of the Hartsville Messenger, and Mr. S. C. King, our Hartsville correspondent, which grew out of a dispute about a certain body of water in the town of Harts ville, has been amicably settled. Friends of both parties interest ed themselves about the matter and, as a result, the following self-explanatory letters were ob tained : Editor Darlington Neivs: At the request, and in the presence, of mutual friends the controversy between Mr. S. C. King and myself has this day been brought to a close, and, as this is the last time the matter is to appear in print, I feel it my duty to state that I have made unjust charges against Mr. King, but in justice to myself will say that I have been labor ing under wrong impressions. If I had understood matters at the beginning of the contro versy, as I now do, I would not have attacked Mr. King as I did. I have been under the impres sion that his articles were writ ten with a view to hurting the town but, since I have learned that such was not the case, I re gret that the affair has gone as far as it has. T J Drew Hartsville, S. C., 16 Nov. ’93. Editor Darlington News: As will be seen from the above card, Mr. Drew has decided not to chase the ghost any turther and has at last set right what he should have left undone at first. The above card has been written with the understanding that I make some corrections. Mr. Drew’s first complaint is that I put him in the wrong light when I asserted that he “took back” what he had said, in a letter to me. I will say that I might have, under the circumstances, spoken a little too plainly regarding the letter, but that was about the infer ence I drew from it. He says, secondly, that I cut too close when I said that “I and every body else that had to ride through it [the water] would still call it a pond.” When I wrote this I thought I was correct, but since talking with Mr. Drew I find that he does not call it a pond and he says that others (though I’ve never heard any say so) refuse to call it a pond. This closes the matter so far as I am concerned and will say that I am satisfied with Mr. Drew’s card. S. C. King. Hartsville, S. C., Nov. 16, ’93. ABOUT SCHOOL FUNDS. A Correspondent Wishes Some Inform ation on the Subject. Editor Darlington News: As this is a time of reform and a time when the people want to know how everything is going, I want to know how it is that some of the school dis tricts of Darlington cotmty are behind one year, while others are not and can pay cash on their expenses. I was of the opinion that each school district only received what money its taxpayers paid in for school purposes and I, therefore, fail to see how some of the school districts can pay their teachers cash, while some other teachers have to wait twelve months for their money or else get dis counts. Will the School Com missioner or some one else ex plain this? I have asked our trustees, but they say they know nothing about it. They get a notice about the time the free school is over that there is so much money for the school. I am in favor of stopping all the free schools in the school districts that are behind until we can catch up. But first I want to know why is it that we are behind. We would not lose much to stop for one year, as we get very little money and have to pay our teachers more because they have to teach on a credit or else discount their pa pers. It does seem to me, Mr. Editor that there is bad management that with sixteen years of Dem ocratic rule some of the school districts are behind and work Rooms Wanted.

THE “CALIGRAPH.” It is now Thirteen years since the. “Caligraph” Typewriter was first put upon the mar ket and in ail that time has responded faithfully to what is required of a first-class writing machine. The Caligraph is recognized everywhere as the most simple and most durable typewriter. It is easily learned, does beautiful work, and will last a decade, if properly cared for. In speed contests it has repeatedly taken first place and in ^telegraphic work has nevei been excelled. For manifold work it has no superior. With interchangable parts the Caligraph is well nigh indestructible. The expe rience of business men, ministers, telegraphers, short hand schools and government departments all go to prove that the Caligraph is without a peer.
