In the city of Philadelphia during last year some 12,000 homes were built by the laboring and working people at I an a verage cost of $2,000 a piece. Ti:s has been accomplished through the nelp of the 450 or more of building and loan associations in that city, in which the working people and wage ear.^ers have been induced to put by small weekly and monthly savings. It is stated that there is less trouble from strikes and labor troubles in Phil adeiphia than any city possibly in the the country. There is nothing that will help so much to make a happy and contented laboring population of any town or city as for these people to become owners of their own homes. They are the bone and sinew of any town or county, and every encouragement should be given theni to buy and own their homes. Newberry has two building associa tions, but so far as our observation goes h-they.bavce been failures in accomplish ing the prime objects for which they were supposed to have been organized. We do not find fault with their man agement in making money for the shareholders. This they may have ac complished, but the fruit we would like to see them bear is in aiding poor people to build themselves home. Very few have availed themselves of the op portunity. Where the fault is we are not pietending to say, but what we need here is for more of our people to - become owners of their own homes, and fewer tenants. We only throw out these suggestions as they present themselves. Let our people who are working for wages think of the matter, and instead of pay ing their monthly rentals, pay these amounts on homes that in a few years will be their own. And it would be well for those of our people who are more highly favored to consider this condition of affairs and help all they can to get the poorer people to go into ' a scheine whereby they can become owners of their own homes. There is nothing that will help more to build up our town and make our people happy and contented. THE REAPPORTIONMENT. The News and Courier devotes a column or more to the question of re apportionment of represents,tives in the Legislature, and, as might beexpected, opposes the reapportionment on the basis of the recent United States cen sus. We say as might be expected, be cause, in any event and by whatever census the apportionment is made, 2 Charleston will lose a part of her rep resentative, because she has more than * she is entitled to. The United States census is defective. We do not suppose any one will deny that. And we might say that any cen sus that would be taken would also be defective. Under the law, as it now stands, the Legislature has the right to adopt the United States census. There is no other ahternative now. Under the present law the last Legislature might have ordered an enumeration to be made this year, but that is too late now, and *the only thing left is to adopt the last United States census as the correct basis for making the apportionment. And we think the Legislature acted wisely in not going to the expense of a new enumeration. If Spartanburg gets as many representative as Charleston it is because she has as many people and is entitled to them. The reappor tionment will be made at the next Legislature we presume. Newberry's delegation remains the same. The following list shows the present representation and what it will be un der the new apportionment based on the Uuited States census of 1890, as figured out by the News and Courier: Present Rep- Changed Rep County. resentation. resentation.

We saw it stated sometime ago in a >ne of our exchanges, that upon the 'I whole the kicker was a very good sort t >f a thing to have in a town or a com- ii nunity, not that he was worth very a nuch to it as a live; progressive or pub- I ic spirited citizen, and yet he was very i valuable to have around. A kicker is v >ne who Ricks, according to Webster, a mnd to kick is to manifest opposition. v We do not suppose any good thing was c ever undertaken in this world but there E was opposition to it. It is well that '] there should be, we presume. It would c not be well to attain success or to have a accomplished any undertaking with- t )ut having met and overcome opposi- f tion. It gives a man an opportunity to show what metal he is made of. But then there might be another sort of kicker in a town or community, and we think he might be easily found. He will oppose all enterprises that howed the forward march of his town. He will oppose the town having any thing to do with electric lights, and yet, if perchance, he stumbles in a mud hole in trying to walk the streets through the darkness of the night, the town council in right severely abused for having the streets so poorly lighted. Another citizen who owns property off the public square thinks it very wrong that he should pay tax for a fire engine, because if his property should catch on fire the engine would do him no good as there was no water to l be had, and yet, perchance, this same citizen will oppose the town having a system of water works, so that every 1 part of the town could be protected from fire. These are only used as illus tracions. Some people kick because they love'i to and have nothing else with which to amuse themselves. Others kick be cause they are not in the lead. They would be in favor of certain enterprises 1 and improvements, but they don't like i the fellow that is at the head of it. And various other excuses are given by 1 various citizens for various things, and 1 it is well that we have citizens who 1 possess these kicking qualities, other wise we would get in a bad way. 1 Well, the kicker is here and he is here to stay. We should have him with us always. Now what we wanted to say is that we have been seriously considering the advisabiliry of opening I a kicker's column in The Herald and News, and will do so just as soon as we get enough communications to make a fair start. If you have anything to say 1 now just come along and let the people have it. If the town is not moving along to suit you, why just come right into the kicker's column and say so, and give your idea about things. This is an off year in politics and you can think about and write about some thing else. THU PHOBPHATE COMMISsION. By an Act of the last Legislature the1 whole phosphate interests of the State have been turned over to a board to consist of the Governor, Attorney-Gen eral,Comptroller-General,and two other I persons to be appointed by the Gov ernor. The two members appointed I ar 3. D). Montgomery anti George H. Walter. They have met and organ ized. Gov. Tillman is chairman by the terms of the act and Gen.Y. J. Pope has been elected secretary. Mr. A. W. Jones, of Abbeville, has been elected phosphate inspector. His salary f is $1,500 a year with headquarters at Beaufort This board has the management of a about $250,000 for the State in the t shape of royalty from the phosphate interest. This board has neen created in ac- c aordance with the wish and recoin- t cendation of Gov. Tillman. He has :onsiderable power, -we are told, under f the Act. One section of the new law r ives the board the power to increase ~ I the royalty if it is deemed expedient. We shall expect good results from a this board to the farmers of the State, t ut we agree with the Pickens Sentinel n its opinion that "it would have been better to have had just one commis- 5 ;ioner elected by the Legislature, and a ut under the same bond antl on the ame salary as other State officers. )ne energetic officer devoting his whole ~ime to the business, would be worth i ~en times as much to the State as a lignified board meeting once a month, md then spending half of its time try- ( ng to agree.'' But the present arrange nent is as Gov. Tillman wanted it and ~ t t may all be for the best. -We shall g iwait developments. The phosphate t nterest is a big one and its proper t nanagement means a great deal to the eople.e Attorney-General Pope of Newberry, ~urious to say, has been mentioned in ~onnection with the vacant Chief Jus-a iceship. Equally curious to say, Mr. ole. L. Bless., also of Newberry, hash lot been mentioned in connection witha he office; and yet, If the Tillmanites g were earnest and unanimous in this b lall, we are persuaded that he would a aot refuse to serve them. It is not b mown which of these two gentlemen he NewberryEBar, the Newberry Alli-b ice, or the Enoree Plantation would t -ecommend.-Laurens Advertiser. You need not give yourself any un- n ecessary annoyance about Newberry. c 'he Newberry bar, the Newberry Alli-, s nce, and Enoree plantation will takes are of themselves. They have de- si nonstrated their ability to do so and ti hey will not be left this time. So, P otemporary, take our advice, and let aot your mind be troublei about New- t erry, e b We see it stated that active opera Ions have been commenced looking to c he publication of a new morning daily n Columbia. Mr. N. G. Gonzales is to ie managing editor. He is a first-class er iewspaper man of considerable experi- fr ne and an able writer and we have no0 Loubt would publish an excellent news- c< Pper. We wish the enterprise suc- 71 ess. The leading business men in Co. a uambia are to be stockholders in the ~ Lew paper' ai a; The Fisley Messenger has been pur- P ased by a joint stock company. The aper will be published hereafter at c< 'ckens and the name has been w hanged to the People's Journal. Mr.C '. C. Robinson has been elected editor. s 5ewloeth1e ae t u x hane lomed s the new oorente bien mnst andsh h ewetr rise much success. The Clarendon Enterprise has the udacity to suggest that Governor illman appoint Gen. Jos. H. Earle to se vacancy on the Supreme Bench or i case the vacancy cannot be filled by ppointment it then suggests that the egislature elect him. The Herald and .ews admires Gen. Earle's ability and rould be delighted to see him iromioted nd has not the slightest doubt that he rould wear the judicial ermine with redit to himself and honor to his tate, but there is no danger of Gov. 'illman nor the present Legislature onsidering any such suggestion. Th.y r'nt built that way. Gen. Earle made hings too lively in the last campaign or the Tillmanites. Only the sup >orters of Capt. Tillman need expect inything. According to the census of 1 y! New erry County has :2 persons less than he had in 180. Is it possible that we ,re losing instead of gaining in popu!a ion? There must besomething wrong omewhere. We certainly have more eople now than we had ten years ago. The Additional Subscription for School Buildings. There will be submitted to the quali ied voters of the town of Newberry, on he fifth of February proximo, the he q?lestion of subscribing five thou and dollars for the erection and equip nent of buildings for the Graded schools, in addition to the subscription toted for that purpose a year ago. The [rustees of Newberry School District iave been formally authorized by the state Legislature to put this question o popular vote; and it will be determi ned by the majority of voters in the own whether the additional subscrip ion shall be made or not. If the vote results in making the sub cription, bonds will be issued for that um, payable in twenty years, and )earing interest at the rate of six per ent. per annum. The additional year y charge upon the taxable property in he town will, therefore, be three hun ired dollars, until the termination of wenty years, when the bonds will ma ure. The School Trustees have en leavored during the past year :o procure the erection of suita )le buildings at a cost not exceeding he ten thousand dollars subscribed a ear ago. They bad the same interest hat other taxpayers have in making :hese improvements at as small an ex >ense as would be consistent with the .equirements of the situation. But al hough they invited bids in the State Lnd out of the State, they failed to re ,eive a single bid for such a building as bhey find necessary even at the sum of ,en thousand, which was all that was lowed them for purchasing grounds, ,recting buildingsand furnishing build ngs. The property already owned by he male and female academies for hites was soon found to be utterly in idequate for a graded school; and the rustees, therefore, felt compelled to >urchase the DeWalt lot, at the price >f twenty-two hundred and fifty dol ars. This property, though well worth the )rice paid for it, and though offering lecided advantages in extent, in situa ion and in buildings which would as ist the white school, has no buildings n it, as is well known, at all fit for a chool-house. If it should be put in the power of the school Trustees to sell the property of he male academy and that of the fe nale academy, and invest the proceeds n the Graded Schools, as we trust will ome to pass, there would be left in the nd in their bands little, if anything, eyond the $10,000 already subscribed, ~fter paying for the DeWalt lot and for he necessary repairs on that lot outside f the school-house. And besides the cost f a school building there are needed fur ishings-desks, tables, blackboards nd apparatus-which will probably ost from two to three thonsand dol ars. A nd to all these expenses is to be .dded such repairs, extensions and quipments as may be found necessary or the colored school. The most care ul estimates by the Trustees and the pinions of expert builders convince us at this work cannot be successfully .complished without $5,000 in addi ion to what we now have. Already nearly three hundred chil ren are taught in the white schools, nd about two hundred in the colored ne. And the number iu each is sure o be considerably increased. Roomy, omfortable buildings are required for chools; and we have to build no0w not >r the next year, nor merely for the ext ten years. What we build must urnish the school accommodations for aany years to come. A cheap, ill rranged, confined building will prove great waste of money. The part of rue economy is to erect a structure hich will answer all needs for at least be next twenty years. It is to be hoped that our citizens till appreciate the demands of the sit ation. J. F.

The following dlocument will explain tself: PENSION DEPARTMIENT, OFFICE OF CO3MPT'R GENERA L, COLUM1BIA, January 8, 1891, ircular No.1.
