Observations on Town Improvements. To the Editor of The Herald and News:-As you propose to open a "Kicker's Column" in The Herald and News it occurs to me to furnish you a few observations for it. I would, how ever,not wish to be regarded as a kicker against any improvement that the town can reasonably afford. But we have need of very many improvements, and I think it the part of wisdom to undertake the most necessary first. It will be time enough to undertake lux uries, if -2 find that we can afford them, after the works of prime neces sity have been carried out. I need not refer to past errors in this resnect, but those errors ought to serve as a guice for the future. In the first place we are not yet done with the graded school, and are called upon in a few days to vote another $5,00 for the building. We should of course do all that is necessary to make these schools a success, for money spent in the cause of public education I al ways regard as wisely spent. But from wh'at I have heard of the cost of build ings elsewhere, it does Iseem to me that the $10,000 already voted, together with the S3,C0 to $4,000 that the two lots belonging to the town are said to be worth, ought to be suffi cient to erect a building ample for all present purposes. I merely make this observation in passing; but would not wish to be understood as opposed ;to votinz the additional sum asked for. Then every one must admit that our streets require far more work than they get. They are a wilderness of grass and weeds in sunimer, avd a lob lolly of mud in winte-. Mr. Jackson should have a larger force of street workers at his disposal, and perhaps mightwork it a lit tle more energetically. But our most pressing present want is unquestionably a good supply of water, as was urged by Dr. McIntosh and and others at the meeting. This is urgently needed Ooth for the health of the people and for the safety of the town from fire. If a regular system of water works be found feasible, in the language of the resolution adopted, so much the better. That would answer all purposes. But should this not be the case, then it seems to me that we should at least have two or three good cisterns constructed without d,:,y in the most exposed parts of the .own for the use of the fire department. I do not at all agree with the idea I have heard expressed, that only the center of the town has the right to protection from fire. I hold that all tax-payers have such right, and for their resi dences as well as their stores and places of business. Cisterns adequate for all purposes, I am informed by the effi cient head of our fire department, can be constructed for twQ or three hun dred dollars each; that is, the license for one of the new barrooms to be opened would about construct two good cisterns. As it seems to be the policy of our conscript fathers, very wrongly as I think, to increase instead of dimin ish the number of these places for cor rupting our youth, and reduciug fami lies to poverty and shame, at least all the advantage possible should be got out of them for the benefit of the town. Instead of raising the license only $100, I would have at least doubled it. The license at Chesteris, I believe, $1,L00and at Spartanburg $1,200. It is true, either sum would be a very inadequate re turn for the harm done a town by a barroom; but it vould at least be some thing with wvhich to do necessary work. After our towvn is properly supplied with water and other p)rimne necessities, I should not only have no objection, but would be delighted to see our streets lighted by electricIty. This would be not only highly ornamental but also exceeding!y useful in many wvays. I have seen many smaller places than Newberry with electric lights, and I see no good reason why we might not have them. I freely; admit that our present pretense at illumination is a miserable failure and little better than nothing at all. I only insist that we should undertake what is most neces sarv first. If this be kicking, then I am A KICKER. THE NEW COLUMBIA PAPER. It Will Appcar on the 7th of February The DirectorS Are All Anti-Admninis tration Men. [Special to Augusta Chronicle.] COLDMBIA, S.

The House yesterday, after a long and t vigorous debate, adopted the following d resolutions by a strictly party vote: ( "WHEREAS, A bill has been intro- s duced in the General Assembly provid- b ing for the appropriation of $200,000 to N make a display of the industries and resources of this State at the World's A Fair, to be held at Chicago in 1S93; and s whereas, the measure now pending in f< the United States Senate, known as b the force bill, is revolutionary, which, I if it passes the Senate, it is believed cJ will involve the people of the South- g ern States in a race war, will prostrate tj the industries of many of the States of t'ie Union, will disrupt amicable com- c mercial and social relations existing o between the North and the South; and b whereas, if said measure shall become f< law and such conditions thereby be b brought about the World's Fair will fall to adequately display the magni tude and variety of our country's re sources, will fall short of the purposes for which it was contemplated, and will bring shame and reproach upon our whole country: and whereas, it is the sense of this General A-;sembly that no appropriation should be made by the State of Indiana unless it can be niade in fact as in name a world's fair, and can exhibit the magnitude and a a variety of our whole country's re sources and advanoement; therefore, 1 "Resolved, By the House of Represen- 1 tatives, the Senate concurring, that no further consideration of the said appro priation bill be had until the Senate has finally disposed of said force bill, t that this Assembly may know what is to be the character of the exhibition of said World's Fair." The Democratic members of the Sen ate concurred in the resolution and de cided to vote for them solidly to-day. NEW JERSEY JOINS THE COLUMN. y TRENTON, N. J., Jaduary 27.-The a Senate this morning concurred in the resolution adopted by the House last week denouncing the Federal elections bill, and asking New Jersey Congress men to oppose the same. A resolution offered last night, that New Jersev withold the appropriations from the World's Fair if the election bill passes Congress, was adopted by the Assembly this morning. The vote on the resolution was a party one. ILLtNOIS IS IN EARNEST. f SPRINGFIELD, ILL., January 27.-In the House to-day the resolution in structing the Senators from lilinois to vote against the Federal election bill was passed by a strict party vote 77 to 73, the F. M. B. A. men not voting. Springer on behalf of the Democrats ave notice that if the Senators from r Tllinois should vote for the Federal election bill the Democrats in the State Legislature would not vote one dollar in aid of the World's Fair. NEBRASK A CONDEMNS CLOTURE. L.NcotN, NEB., January 27 -Reso- ' lutions were adopted in both branches of the Legislature this morning approv ing the action of the Senate in layig t aside the cloture rule. The Indepen-1 dents,with only three exceptions, voted with the Democrats. WEST vIRGNIA IS THERE TOO. CHARLESTON, W. VA., January 27. -The Legislature yesterday, after an acrimonious discussion, passed by a vote of 40 to 20) a resolution that in case of the passage of the election bill the State will make no World's Fair ap propriationi. NORTH CAROLINA FALLS IN LINE. t WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-A special from Raleigh, N. C., says:. . t The General Assembly, in session: here, has passed a resolution opposing tbe appropriation for North Carolina's exhibit at the WVorld's Fair in Chicago until the elections bill, now pending in tbe Uini ced States Senate, is voted down in that body. The resolutions are veryt strong and passed with high enthusi asm. Governor Fowie had recomn-r mended an appropriation of $253,000O for e that purpose." APPOINTED TO OFFICE. MIr. H. R. Thomas, ofsumter, Ia the Rail road CommissioneCr. [Special to Augusta Chronicle.] - COLUMBIA, S. C., Jan. 24.-Governor Tillnan has appointed H. R. Thomas, ' of Sumter county, a member of the board of state railroad comimissioniers, to till the vacancy caused by the death I of ex-Governor Bonhami. The governor i states as a reason for the appointment e that as the vacancy occurred in the I case of a member from the middle sec- r tion of the state, he felt compelled to s appoint some one from that section. 1 This appointment will be apt to ex- r: cite unfavorable comment among both r Tillmanites and straightout. Among t the latter because no one of the promi- I net followers of Governor Trillman was t more bitter and onscruplouls than Mr. I Thomas anld none perhaps haa a less t savory record in and out of politics. t A portion of the Tillmanmtes will be I offended because Rev. J. A. Sligh, of t Prosperity, was not named for the ap pointent. Mr. Sligh was considered t all along in the lead, and many long- r headed political prophets thought his 1, appointment certain, but political 1; prophets, even when long-headed, are e mistaken somletimes in this record-i breaking year. e Like somie others oorne into offer by y the Tillman movement Mr. Thomas a has killed his man. H is real name is t Reagan, but he had it changed some g years ago by an act of the legislature. Jt ABERATION OF MIND. Tho 1Rev. J. s. White. of Rock Hill,. FailsC into- a Tank and Is Drowned.

THE GOVERNOR'S STATEMENT. [Special to News and Courier.] COLUMBIA, January 25.-Governor 'illman read to-day in the Sunday ews and in Gen. Bonham's manu cript the letter ot the latter in reply to he Governor's letter granting him ermission to leave the State. Gover or Tillman was called upon to-day ,nd asked if he had replied to the letter. le, however, dictated the following tatement to the representative of the ews and Courier: "Before the matter was arranged esterday Gen. Bon ham and Col.Alfred ldrich came into my office, accom pained by Attorney General Pope. tter some discussion as to where the noney should be deposited and as to he necessary preliminary steps to be ken, it was agreed that the money hould be placed to the credit of Adju ant General Bonham in the Carolina ational Bank and that they should iring a certificate of deposit fromt the ashier of that bank. That was done, vith the information that a sufficient mount had been placed in bank to over the expenses of protests and also he fees of Mr. Symmers, the expert ccountant, the latter being paid in ny presence by Col. Aldrich. The re tuest was then made by Attorney eneral Pope, Col. Aldrich impliedly cquiescing, that I write Gen. Bonham letter, stating that lhe could leave the Itate. I wrote the letter asked for in as irief and polite terms as I knew how. I vas surprised that the request should iave been made, and that my compli nce with the request should have been aet with such a discourteous rejoinder. 'hat is all I care to say." 'HE CIRCUMSTANCES OF BONH AM'S ESPIONAGE. It was learned to-day that the fol >wing are the circumstances under ,hich Gen. Bonham was placed under spionage: On the night that the news *aper men weie asked to withhold the ews of the shortage, Governor Tillman ent for Sheriff-Rowan and instructed imt to act according to certain state 2ents ade, which have not been 2ade public. It is not known whether bis condition was known to Gen. Bon am and his friends, at least until yes erday. When Gen. Bonhamn's accounts ad een settled yesterday, or soon hereafter, Sheriff .Rowan came out of beGovernor's office, and it is presu med ad then been relieved of this instruc From what Governor Tillman said -day, and from what Attorney Gene s Pope and Gen. Farley have frequent i said, they never regarded O'en. .Ion am's act.ons in the light of any riminal intent. If they had so regarded , it is plain that the otlicers oft the law old not or should not have even uni ied the off'ence. Either way it is hard nut to crack; but the action of he State officials must certainly be re arded as a complete exoneration oIf len. Bonham if lhe ever needed a testi ionial. The talk about past, present nd future prosecution is the apothbeo sso oosh and newspaper slush. OL. ALFRED ALDRICH's sTATEM ET. (Special to News and Courier.] COLaMA, January :26.-Col. Alfred iddrich called at this office to-day and esired to make the following state tent relating to the circumstances n(er which the letter to Gen. lion am was written by Governor Till matn: "There is no foundation wvhatever >r the statements made by Gover or Tillman that I acquiesced in any quest that he extend pernission to en. Bonham to leave the State. I eard no such request made by Gen 'oe, and do not believe that he made "After paying Mr. Symmers for his rvices and receiving a receipt there r, I rose to leave the Executive chanm er, saying, 'I believe there is niothing se to be done, and will go.'

When the secretary turned With the copy Governor Till an folded the sheet of paper, put it an envelop, addressed it, and handed to Gen. Pope. Gen. Pope asked me go to his office with him, and there e gave me the conmmunicaItioni which oernor Tillman had handed to himt, id which proved to be the 'permlis on' to leave the State, to which Gen. onhamn roperly took umbrage.
