Kollock is evidently making a success of The DaR lington News Mr Kollock is a worthy successor of Henry T. Thompson, the former editor of The News, and we do not know that we could pay him a higher compliment. As editor of the Cheraw Re- pnrter Mr.Kollock established a reputation as a strong, fearless and candid writer. He is an anti of the strongest kind and has never wavered or hesitated. He hits from the shoulder and hits hard, but always fairly, being one of those men who lead, who arouse the enthusiasm of their friends and demand the admiration of their foes. He is keeping The Darlington News to the high standard his predecessor established it on and may be trusted to continue it so. May unlimited success aitend him. He deserves all the good will and good fortune he can possibly receive. Old People. Old people who need medicine to regulate the bowels and kid neys will find the true remedy in Electric Bitters. This medi cine does not stimulate and con tains no whiskey nor other in toxicant, but acts as a tonic and alterative. It acts mildly on the stomach and bowels, adding strength and giving tone to the organs, thereby aiding Nature in the performance of the func tions. Electric Bitters is an ex cellent appetizer and aids diges tion. Old pi ‘ ~ ‘ Judge Wstts Msrriss the Daughter ot Chief Juttlce Mclver. [Newe and Courier ] Cheraw, April 16.—This af ternoon at 5 o’clock Judge R. C. Watts and Miss Lottie Mclver, daughter of Chief Justice Me Iver, wer^married by the Rev. Thomas Perry Baker in St. David’s Episcopal Church. The building was beautifully decor ated with evergreens and flow ers. The blinds were drawn and lamps lit. and the effect was very pleasing. On the arrival of the bridal party at the church door - the organ poured forth Mendelssohn’s Wedding March under the skilful touch of Mrs. S. G. Godfrey, and the ushers, Col. Edward Mclver and Mes srs. T. P. Parrall, L. E. Caston and H. W. Harral, who had already managed to comfortably seat the crowd of relatives and friends, advanced up the aisles, followed by the maid of honor. Miss Nell Hardin, who preceded the bride, the latter being con ducted to the altar by her fath er, the Chief Justice. The groo/n, supported by his oest man, Mr. Ball, of Laurens, met the bride at the chancel, and the marriage Ceremony of the Episcopal Church was perform- Immediately alter the cere mony the bridal party went to the Seaboard Air Line depot, ' and at 6.30 -p. m. boarded the train for an extended Northern trip via Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York,af ter completing which they will reside at the corner of Kershaw and 3d streets, which property Judge Watts has recently pur chased. The best wishes of the whole community go with the happy couple, aud a hearty wel come awaits them when they return. people find it just ex actly what they need. Price 50 cents per bottle, at Dr. J.

[Tba State.] It certainly “queers” one to find such a sentiment as this in the New York Mail and Ex- press.' “Consul-General Lee may be counted on to do the fair thing by the Cuban pat riots.* He knows from experi ence that rebels have some rights which mankind is bound toisepeet.” BudUta's Arnica Salve.

[Barnwell People.] There is is no accounting for taste, or, for that matter, for lack of taste. The Dabling- ton News announces that Miss Bettie Odelia Kirby formerly of that place, aged 20 summers, has married a Chinese cook in Charleston, who for 48 winters has answered to the name of Wong Gin. Probably she is a “new woman’, and has taken the cue that will make her housekeeping strictly celestial. She deserves to fare better, however, than the fifty white men whose names are said to be on the roll of the Republican club m Darlington. As only nine have openly professed coo version, it is to be hoped that this is another black crow story. Some of the naughty nine were old time Republicans. A Remarkable Casa. [Cheraw Reporter.) Eight years ago A. A. Camp bell gave his two sons, J. A. and A. M. Campbell, who were at that time 7 weeks of age to one John L. Huggins. At this time A. A. Campbell comes forward and asks the law to give back to him his two sons. The case was heard Tuesday before His Honor Judge Watts After bearing the case, the Judge decided that according to law Campbell was entitled to his sons. Notwithstanding the verdict of the court the boys re turned to the house of John L. Huggins. Two Uv«« Saved.

B Y ORDER OF THE COUNTY Board of Commissioners, 1 am instructed to say that un der the plan for working the roads the present year, all over seers employed will be required to open all the roads the proper width. All persons who con template planting their crops in the road will please not do so, as it will be quite unpleasant to both the Commissioners and overseers to destroy crops so plantjed. The County Com missioners cannot consistently, and will not, approve the claims of overseers for their services as such until they have fully complied with their contracts. The main object of this notice is to beg all persons planting by the road to stake it. off and, if possible, run a furrow along where the road properly belongs and then plough aud plant to this line only, thus leaving the road the proper width. We are 'lad to note that quite a num- r of persons have already done this. The hauling or throwing of trash, litter or any other ob struction in the roadway is strictly prohibited, under the penalty of the law. Ditching and clearing of ditches along the roadside is approved of, and the dirt taken from such ditches may he thrown in the roadway, provided it is leveled and put in proper shape to improve the road This muat be done as soon as it is put in the roadway. The telephone line running from Darlington to Florence has put quite a number of its posts in the roadway—some of them being at least eight feet out. The company or persons operat ing said line will please remove said posts out of the road at once and thereby save further trou ble. The County Board of Com missioners has decided to work the road this year in sections, similar to plans worked bv rail roads, making each Township comprise one section, and all E arsons liable to road duty who ave not paid their commutatioi tax will be worked first, and then a gang will be employed to complete the necessary work. All persons who have not paid their road tax will be required to 'Vork three days of eight hours each during the year un der the overseers above men tioned. W. S. KING, Supervisor. A9-3t.
