The Senate committee on privileges and elections has directed a favorable report on the proposed amendment to the Constitution providing for the election of United States Senators by the popular vote of the people The joint resolution and the report will be submitted to the Senate in a few days. A recent issue of the London Times contains the following unique adver tisement: “Young lady required as governess for one little girl, aged tea. As she has unhappily lost a leg, it is considered possible that more sym- . pathy will be shown by a lady in a similar position; preference, therefore, given to such.” The executive committee of the American Bimetallic party,of <'alifor- nia, has : esolved to “endorse the can didacy of Senator Morgan, of Ala bama, for the Presidency and Senator Allen, of Nebraska, for the Vice Pres idency, and earnestly and anxiously commend them to our fellow citizens of the entire Union. It is said that Senator Cullom will probably withdraw from the Presi dential race. Be is now thinking stronglv of doing so, and will decide finally In a few days.

United States Commissioner Stump has decided to adu it under contract at New York, Walter Ainsworth and four other machinists, from England, who have come to this country to put up new . improved cotton machinery in Columbia, S.

The claim of the United States to the territory known as Greer County, to which the State of Texas also n ade claim, was affirmed by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States.

The friend* of the bill claim the ui>r» uie ' ouit decision does not ap »y to this case, because cigarettes are wb lly bad and have no good use. VALEDICTORY. After a period of service ex tending through nine years and a half, almost to the very day, I retire from journalism to de vote my attention exclusively to a profession which has al ways had far greater attractions for me. The new editor and proprietor of this paper is Mr. A. G. Kollock, who is also the owner of the Cheraw Reporter. In order that he may be fully prepared to discharge the duties incident to his assuming control of The News, Mr. Kollock has leased out the Reporter. He will move to Darlington at once, and will be followed later by his family. Mr. Kollock has had considerable experience as a journalist, and has met with marked success in his chosen profession. We predict that he will be quite an acquisition to Darlington; he possesses certain qualifications which are as nec essary to the proper manage ment of business in his line as they are unusual. Under existing circumstances, a brief retrospective glance would not, we feel sure, be set down in any way to egotism Nine years and half cover a pretty long period, and many ... , .

They found themselves here when they came into the world, and they deserve no commendation for simply remaining here. But those of uh not “to the manner bora" who believe Darlington County to be the most favored spot in South Carolina, and have shown our faith by volun tarily making our homes in it, are the ones who have a right to pride oui selves on the fact of our liviug here. A residence in this place covering the greater portion of sixteen years has confirmed me in this feeling. I have always loved Darlington better than any other spot in the world, and I love her people —those who are conscientious and truly patriotic, without any regard to whai. their political faith may be. If I nave my wish, no matter what of good or ill toe future has in store for me, the balance of my days will be spent within her borders; there will these eyes take their last look of earthly scenes; within her bosom my bones and those of my children will one day be laid away. A Western newspaper tells of a man who, every time he gets drunk, insists on paying a year’s subscription to his town paper. He has already, it is said, paid up to the year 1964. Some of the South Carolina editors are reported to be trying to find out what brand of liquor he uses, and if they succeed, will have KIO-H OOR-A-IDEI badly needed. Knights of the Maccabees. The State Commander writes us from Lincoln. Neb , as fol lows: “After trying other medi cines for what seemed to be a very obstinate cough in our two children we tried Dr. King’s New Discovery and at the end of two days the cough entirely left them. ’We will not be with out it hereafter, as our exper ience proves that it cures where all other remedus fail.’’—Sign ed F. W. Stevens, State Com.— Why not give this great medi cine a trial, as it is guaranteed and trial bottles are free at Dr. J. A. Boyd’s Drug Store. Regular size 50c. and $1.00. County and the State in that time. From first to last it has been my effort to give my sub sqyibers a first-class newspaper, viewed strictly from ihe stand point of a medium for collecting and disseminating the news, and I have endeavored to keep up the standard in this respect even in certain times of finan cial stringency through which we have passed, when the in come uenved from the invest ment did not really warrant a continuance of such a course. Again, 1 have endeavored al ways to send out a clean paper- one from whose columns were carefully excluded all items and expressions that would prevent its every word from being read aloud in the family circle. To carry out this principle was to run counter to all the modern ideas of what a newspaper should contain, and resulted very often in my having to leave out articles commonly re garded as the choicest news items of the day. In politics, while taking an unalterable stand as a Democrat and as an opponent of the leader of the present dominant faction in the State, I have never argued that “everything on my side was all right and everything on the other side all wrong’’—as has been the belief of certain Demo crats of both factions in these latter days of partisan politics in Soutb Carolina. I have urg ed the white people of the State to stand together for the preser vation of white supremacy by fair and honest methods. In » all things touching the material welfare and prosperity of the Town and County of Darling ton, it has been my purpose to take an active interest and to lend such assistance as was in my power. The record of ten years is written. The last page has been turned, the story of the long decade has been told, and the book is closed. How far short I may have fallen of my ideal of a newspaper as above outlined it remains for my read ers to determine. But I would not leave the im pression that no regrets come to me as I lay down the editor ial pen forever. For the great er part of ter years, fifty two ® n d Undertaker*’ eupphe* times every year, I have sent out hand at lownnces. a message to the people of Dar lington County. I had gradu ally gotten “in touch" wuh them to a considerab'e extent,; and the occasional “well-done” of those who thought I was try ing to do my duty would come, amid the many trials of the editorial sauctum like a grate ful shower falling upon the Native born Darlingtonians particu sanes throughout the State Perhaps Editor Kollock may think it worth his while to de vote some attention to an invest igation of the subject when he assumes control of The News next week.
