day afternoon, and will leave on
Monday for Americus, whero he

som > of die precincts that the resolu
tions adopted hv the mass meeting
held ill Thnnmsville on the 12tli inst,
and the < r.lcr of the Executive Com
mittee providing for the holding of
the primary election on the 25tb inst,
has not been nhhered to, as is mani
fest from the returns before us, it is
t'lerefore,
JlcMilrril: That wo do not approve
of said action; but in view of the
fact that tho general result in the
county is in no wise changed by the
admission of said returns, that wc
consolidate the same without change ;
but in doing so wo desire to place
upon record our protest ngai.ist all
illegal voting, nt primary or other
elections. The purity of the ballot
box must be maintained to insure the
unity and success of tho democratic
party.
The resolution as originally intro*
duced mentioned the Spence district,
where one hundred mid thirty one
votes were cast, when only seventy-
eight volets had registered in the
district, but it was subsequently
amended, on motion of Dr. Clower
and put in the above shape.

.The Old and the New.
Some wise long maker has said,' Re
off with the old love, before you are
on with the new."
This is what I am now about todo.
These are, perhaps, the last words
I shall ever speak to the readers
oftheTiMES-ENTERPRiSE. Last words
are always sad ones, whether they are
uttered by the bedside of dying loved
ones or whispered with trembling lips
by those that part either in anger, or
in tears.
For a great many years, not great in
number, but great in the events with
which they weretraught. I have been
in the habit of speaking familiarly,
through the medium of my pen, Jo the
people of Thomas county, but that
relation is at an end to-day
Like any other good Darby and
Joan we have had our little tiffs, but
in the main we have not disagreed and
now that 'he end has come we part
good friends.
I have seen fit to accept a call to
ano her field, but I will never forget
the people that have for so long been
my audience. They were the first to
receive my work kindly, and that kind
ness has lasted to the end.
May they all be as happy and pros
perous as I would have made, diem if
my power had been on a par with my
Albert Winter.
Stanley’s New Undertaking.
H- nry M. Stanley is married.
May it not be possible Hint the great-
est living explorer—the man who gave
us Ujjibwni, Hunjidoni and Uspidoisi
—may yet succeed, now that he P
married, in finding n woman’s pocket?
The task is great, but who dare pre
dict that he will not accomplish it?
Need we sny that no man has over
yet found a woman’s pocket? Has
the feat been left for the great ex
plorer of darkest Africa? Wc trust
so. But he must he prepared for fail
ure. Though he has accurately mapp
ed the country of the Welkraribiti,
stood by the dark waters of tho Ubetji
Nyanzi, laid bare the mysteries of the
Annyy R<on/.i Forest and marched
from Blucboshin the west to Ujitzeha
in the cast, still may he meet his
Waterloo in tho pocket of a black
dress on a hook.—New York Tribune
