BUILDING HOMES.
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:

THE KICKER.
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

iewspaper man of considerable experi- fr
ne and an able writer and we have no0

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. J. CALDwEL L,
Chairman Board of Trustees.

Some Intere.tin: Matter Concerning this
Much Talked About Railroad.
[Black-burg News.]:
We reproduce the following from the

what it is worth: "Gen. John T. Wil

[Sp)ecial to New'- aind Courier.]
(Connu A. Jan. i.- Several capital
i ts intettd in the Three C's Road
and its litigatioin caime to Columbia
quite uiexp,ecte.,dly late to-night.
Among thee are .ol It. A. Johisoi
and David B. tiley, who claims the
r:ad. It was hearned that ie object of
Mr. itislev's visit here was to interest
atockholers of the road in a suit which
he propoSCs to bring against the ('on
structiii Coipany, which has miale
an assignment. It is said that J1e,srs
Melton & Melton and John Wingate
have been retained as his attorneys.
It is known that he made a propoi
tion to-night to a gentleman of Ker
shaw, who represents 10,(l) worth of
the stock. This gentleman however,
declined to be let ir:to the arrangement.
From what Mr. Risley said it will be
his obect aniong other things to make
the Construt'tion Coilpaniy accoUIt for
all the securities drawn from the B)s

estitlates :hat the 1:30 miles of con
tructed road and the niniety miles of
simply graded road could only have
cost about (3,500,000. He also believts
that the Construction Company has
withdrawn *14,oo,l (t ) worth of securi

that the assets of the company should
show the ditl'erence, that is to say, about
$11,00i),0)I0.

gate has ini hand the preparation of the
petition to the Court in the great Three
C's suit, which involves $I l,0(10,000and
the particulars of which were pub
lished in The News and Courier to-day.
A great many people who read the
account to-day thought that there was
nothing in it. Mr. Winigate, however,
and Messrs Melton & Melton think
(litl'erently, as the papers are in course
of preparation. As Co R. A. Johnson
is here he was asked if he had anything
to say on the subject. He stated that
of the claims of Mr. Risley and the
rapid daily transitions of railroad atlairs
as given in published rumors, and of the
predictions and prophecies that have
been miade, lie knew nothing ecep)t as
he read thenm in papers. HeI is here, lie
said, onf purely p)rivate business that
has noi conncCtlin with railroad busi
dess whatever.

[Newvs and Courier, 10th.]
The South Carolina Railway author
ities do niot seem to know howv the re
port that their road would assume the
management of the Three C"s Road had
gained currency.
General 3Manager Ward wvas seen by
a rep)orter for the Newvs and Courier,
and he said that lie knew nothing of
the reported change. His visit to Co
luibia, he explained, wvas on a totally
d ift'erent m iatter. The reported increase
in the inuleage of the southi Carolina
Roadl was cii;irely new to him. What
might, however, ha~ppen hereafter
could not now be foretold.
The corporation cotunsel for the Sou th
Carolina ltailway, wvho ough t, if such
an importaLut acquisition was intended,
to know something about the termis
and arrangements, said that he knewv
nothing ot the reported changes. TIhe
subject, the thought, has never been
conidred.
