"tiekers" who were at the meeting
kicking "with both feet"; nor yet any
objection to their "lusty and effectual

A ex" cted to (lo was to agree to pay so

w'ili. , to put a lit"le more money to

rem!a:;.:r ve.ry well that when the

cussed tha: the Obs2rver snubbed it as
duach Ado a'yout Nothing,'' but be
fore the citizen's meeting was held we
understood that the Observer was in
favor of these evidences of "enterprise
and progress,' but now since "an op-j
portunity for the discussion of ways
and means an1d the presentation of facts
anti aircs" 1;as been given, it may
hlave e:mged its mind.
L mnak's no difference to us what
comnanv should furnish the lights.
We would be glad if the Oill Mill
could enlarge their electric plant and
furn i4h the lights for the town.
- sidies other considerations, the es
tabl>i:onnt of stuch an enterprise
-wou:d add to the taxable property of
the town anid give employment to more
people.
We are glad the meeting was held
and that the citizens who were there,
or s 'me (of them at least, expressed
their oniaions. But we trust the next
mtin2, when the Council gets its re
nort ready, will be more largely at
o s:. ggtat the citizens will speak
out wvhat theyNh"k.

the Iirst meeting. If a majority of the

We take the following from the Spar
anburg Spartan:
"H. R. Thomas, as he calls himself,
-f Wedgefield, Sumter County, has
been appointed railroad commissioner
iu the place of the late General Bon
ham. Mr. Thomas was a student of -
Wofford College when his name was t
Ragin, but for a good and sufficient i
reason he changed his name." I
There has been a good deal intimated
and insinuated in regard to the newly
appointed railroad commissioner. We n
di.like insinuations. If the new rail
road commissioner's character is not
what it ought to be why not come out
and say so and produce the evidence.
If it is alright then let us have no more t
insinuations. He may have had good
reasons for changing his name, and I
then he may not. The Nerald and
News knows nothing about the man at
all, but we believe in giving every
man his dues. But you know past ser
vices and uprightness of character have
not counted for much politically in the
past twelve months in South Carolina.
Mr. J. H. Lesesne, for the past two
years editor of the Clarendon Enter
prise, has retired and is succeeded by
Mr. E. A. Lowry. The Herald and
News regrets to lose Mr. Lesesne from
the editorial brotherhood and our best
wishes will attend him in his future
work. We extend the right hand to
editor Lowry and wish him and the
Enterprise success.
It seems to be about settled now that
the Republican Senators will not at
tempt again to get the Force Bill passed,
and the business of the country can be
attended to. But the Democrats had
better be on the alert.
The supposed breach between ex
President Cleveland and Governor Hill
seems now to have been healed. They
met at a dinner in New York one eve
ning last week, and report says met
each other very cordially. Senator
Hill can now afford to support Cleve
land for the Presidency in 1892, and the
great old State of New York present a
united Democracy at the next national
convention.
Gen. Wade Hampton has accepted
the invitation to deliver the oration on
the occasion of the Centennial of Co
lumbia to be held in that city in May.
The New York Press says that the
ladies of New York insist that Gov
ernor Hill must marry before he can
hope to be a promising candidate for
President. Cleveland got there in a
state of single blessedness, and why not
Hill. But Governor Hill is Sen,tor
Hill now and is not thinking so much
about presidential honors. Cleveland
seems to be in the lead at this time to
return to the White House on the 4th
of March, 1S93.
The Alliance Bank, to be organized
in Columbia, seems now to be an as
sured thing. The directors have been
elected. A meeting will be held this
week to elect officers. i. seems to be
settled that Mr. D. P. Duncan is to be
president. The other officers have not
yet been indicated, still we presume
there are plenty of good men who willi
be willing to accept positions. We
wish the new enterprise success.
The Acts and Joint Resolutions of
the last session of the Legislature have
been printed and distributed. They
make a book of 400 pages, three-fourths
of which is taken up with laws of a
private and local nature. There is en
tirely two much local and special legis
lation.
There are two counties in Georgia,j
says the Augusta Chronicle, in which
there is not a lawyer. And in one of
these their is neither a doctor nor a
dentist. What a fine opening this is
for some young men, unless these peo-t
ple never get sick, have the toothache
nor quarrel with their neighbors. If
that is the case then we want to move
there at once.
The Alliance Record, a Georgia pa
per, says:
"The editor of the Rome Tribue is
not a farmer, but a school teacher. The
next thing you hear he will be advising
the farmers to plant billy goats near
the fence so their horns can run on the 1
rails."
No doubt there are some men editing
agricultural papers, and advising the
farmers what to do and how to plant
and cultivate their lands, who know]
just about enough about farming, from
practical experience, as to give such
advice as the above. But the Rome
Tribune is not an agricultural paper.
The New York Sun, together with
many other Northern papers, has
fought the Force Bill very vigorously. 1
The Sun describes it as follows in reply
to an inquiry from a subscriber: ~
"The Force Bill, as passed by the (
House and as under consideratiou in
te Senate, with changes and amend
ments, is a document of one hundred
and ninety-two big prin:ed pages. r
"It can be roughly described in less i
han one hundred and ninety two letters s

To the Editor of Th2 Herald and

a the last number of the National
-conomi t, the official organ of the
sational Alliance, that ruembers of
he order may know the truth and
earn that my position is correct in re
~ard to the obligation of members.
The writer has voted since 1S5_' and

y on its principles, demands and meas
ires, and knows no party that opposes
hem. He knows principles, demands
tnd measures alone, and :members of
:he alliance who do not stand where
e does are ignorant of their obliga
ions or reckless of them.
No official can sell out the order
while he is a member of it without ex
>osure if he knows it. The traitor in
ill ages has been the scum of mankind.
'he members of the order in Kansas
tre loyal and brave. They heroically
itood by their colors and elected an
lliance champion to the United States
senate over Ingalls, the bloody-shirt
squatter. They were not sold out.
The editorial in the National Econo
aist, volume 4, No. 19, page 300, reads
is follows:
"The question is constantly being pre
;ented as to how much fealty each in
lividual member of the Alliance owes
:o declarations of the National Farm
rs' Alliance and Industrial Union at
Deala and St. Louis. There is no
-uestion but that delegates to both the
cala and the St. Louis meetings, who
were present and participated in the
discussion and then voted upon the
rneasur-s, owe allegiance fully and
ompletely to the decision arrived at,
but in order to fix this doctrine as one
Df the fundamental principles of the
Alliance, and to make it certain that
every such delegate did owe such alle
gance, the following resolution was
adopted by the Supreme Council at
Ocala:
"Resolved, that we discuss freely, fully.
honestly and throughly all measures and res
>lutions presented for cotsideration. and
that where the action of the majority has
been had that we delegates pledge our united
support to them, believing when this body
bas spoken it is our duty to stand as a unit
to the outside world."
"The adoption of this resolution for
ever settles it as to fealty on the part
Df those who participated in the meet
ing of the Supreme Council.
"As to the question of fealty to these
demands by the individual member
ship much might be said ; but since
these delegates to the Supreme Coun
eil were representatives elected by State
Alliances, which in turn were repre
lentative bodies composed of delegates
elected by the counties, and they in
turn were representative bodies com
posed of delegates elected by the subs
who composed the individual mem
bership of the Order ; now, therefore,
every single member of State, county
and sub-Alliances must of necessity be
bound by such action unless they re
pudiate it. It is one of the oldest and
best established principles of law that
the principal is always bound by the
act of his agent when the act of
the agent has been made known
to him and he has not repudiated it:.
Silence is a full and complete ratifica
tion of the act of the authorized ager.t
under all circumstances. This, it must
be admitted, fixes the question as to
ealty throughout the entire Order, and
pledges it firmly and irrevocably to the
St. Louis and Ocala demands, except
in such cases as it may have repudiated
such action. Brethren should remem
ber this when they hear an indiscreet
brother attacking the platform of the
Drder and ridiculing it, and talking in
the opposition. They should hold bimn
personally responsible, bringing him
efore the proper authority and trying
2i in regular form.
"The question may be asked, how can
:he Ocala platform be repudiated ? The
mswer is, the State Alliances can re
audiate it if they choose, and so can
sub-Alliances, and so can County AIIi
nces. True an individual cannot take
tny personal action in repudiation,
)ut if he is not in accord with the
maie and ready to endorse it, he
should withdraw from the Order, and
oin the ranks of those with whom he
>elongs."
Tbe writer kindly requests all news
>apers in the State, friendly to the
lliance, to reproduce the above edito
-al from the National Economist for
he information of alliancemen.
Respectfully,

Sehool Districts.
Much has been said about school di
tricts, and the common school system
generally. It is a system too often
criticised unfavorably by those who do:
not fully understand its merits. It has
not given entire satisfaction. What
system, or what law could do this?
There are always some ready to fight
that which they do not understand,
and understanding they do not cease
to fight. In order to have the school
system of a county accomplish its pur
pose, it must receive the support of the
people. If it does not receive this, it
must end a failure.
But we wish to lay before the readers
of this article some idea of the present
system and of the proposed aim.
Under the present system in New
berry County, each township, with one
exception, constitutes a district. These
districts are each under the control of
three trustees appointed by the County
Board of Examiners. These trustees
when they carry out the law have a
good deal of work to do. (a) They have
a right to locate schools wherever they
may think proper. (b) They can say
what the salaries of the different teach
ers in their district shall be. (c) They
can use money for the purpose of buil
ding school houses or for supplying
schools with the proper furniture.
In fact they have a great deal of
power. Having this power then, and
receiving very little compensation for
their services, is it best that they should
have a great many schools under their
cLarge? If they were paid for their
work then they might afford to give
the schools proper attention, but re
ceiving no pay it is quite different.
But let us look into the proposed plan
and see if there is any thing in it
worthy of notice.
The plan is to make the school dis
tricts of sueh size that there will be
only two schools in each district-one
for white and one for colored chldren.
The township lines would be disre
garded. Suppose that there are 700
square miles in Newberry County, then
there would be not more than thirty or
thirty-five districts, and these districts
would be of such shape and area that
every child could attend school. But
the question will be asked, what is to
be gained by this new system?
1st. It would increase the attendance
in the schools. The constitutional two
mills tax, is appropriated to the differ
ent districts in proportion to the aver
age attendance in the schools.
It is natural to suppose, tlen, that
each board of trustees would be anx
ious to have every child in their dis
trict enrolled so that they might get a
large part of the public fund. Having
only two schools, they could the more
easily attend to this work.
2nd. The teachers would get better
pay for their services. Now they re
ceive on an average, in he county,
about twenty-two dollars per month.
There being less schools by the new
plan, there would be more money for
each teacher.
3d. The teachers would prep ire theni
selves better for their work. Only
good teachers would be in demand.
Seeing that their positions depended
upon their thoroughness and applica
tion to study, they would give time and
thought to school work.
4th. The schoolhouses wou' d be bet
ter. As it is now, there are a great
many inferior school rooms in New
berry County. They are r nt at all
suited for school work. Each board of
trustees would doubtless go to work
and secure a good and comfortable
schoolhouse. They would ailso take
pride in having their buildings well
furnished.
.5th. The people would have a right
to levy a special tax for the support of
schools. The school fund is too small.
Every one will ad mit thbis. It is often
necessary to supplempt thie school
fund by private subscripti:n. .This,
does very well in some corn mumities,
but in others is almost a failure. If
we can raise sufficient mon y to run
the school six months in 'the year,
every child will have the opportunity
of receiving a fair common school edu
cation.
There are other reasons why the
district system would be beneficial, but
it is unnecess~ary to give them here.
It must be admitted, however, that
there are some objections to the sys
temn, and some reasons why the old is
better than the new. These objections
we will consider at the next meeting
of the association.
On the 14th of February we wish to
have a large attendance at the Teach
ers' meeting. Everybody interested is
invited.

Cotton Seed Meal.
[Special to the News and Conrier.]
CoriRIA, S. C., February 2.--With
the exception of a few sporadic cases
the cotton seed meal agitation has
about snuff'ed itself out. The particu
lar cases within and without the law
have been publishsd in the News and
Courier as object lessons, and the result
has been that the public now knows a
great deal more about it than when
the law was passed. Some statements
made to-day by Secretary of State Tin
dali will nevertheless be read with in
terest:
Mr. Tindall has been acting for the
committ e of the trustees in the absence
of the other members. He says he
hopes that there will be no further
trouble. The trustees have regardec
the irregularities reported as mistakes
and not as crimes, and1 the cases have
all been settled in accordance with the
As regards cotton seed meal and fish
scrap, Mr. Tindall says they are very
largely used as fertilizers, and are
valued by farmers only for their am
monia. It came into the State from the
West, even from Anraansas. The analy
ses vary from 4.50 per cent of ammo
nia to 8 45 per cen t. It is mnan ifestly
unjust, both to farmers and honest
dealers that the price should be uni
form, that a 4..50 per cent goods should
rommand the samie price as 8.4-> per
rent goods.
The only way to regulate the matter
s as to protect the mills and dlealers
vhich furnish pure meal, analyzing
froma 7.75 to 8.50 per cent. and the far
nrics, is to require each lot to be guar
mteed as to its ammonia. The other
ngredients amount ta so little they
re not regarded by the buyers. The
entiment of the farmers, as well as
nill men, will sustain the requirement
hat cotton seed meal be dealt with as
>ber fertilizers.

It is well enough th:at the meeting
was held. ThItere ham been a goPod deal
of talk about electric lighis: but it has
been of a very desultory and vague
kind. The publie meeting gave an op
portunity for the discussion of ways
and means and the presentation of
facts and figures.
No doubt the citiz:ns would like to
have electric lights and water works
too; but whether they are willing to
incur the additional tax necessary to
secure these new improvements, is
another (luestion.
The Observer does not believe that
municipal corporations ought to go into
business enterprises. such as electric
lighting and water works. Whenover
there is a sufficient demand for these
things stock companies will be organ
ized to furnish them. Town or city
corporations might properiy, we think,
contract to take a certsin portion of
light or water per arnun, at a fixed
price; but it ought nut to undertake to
conduct enterprises of this sort, unless
it should become necessary-as it
might becone in the case of water
works--for saniitary reasons. But there
is no such ne:f"s.ity as that at New
berry now, and w%ill not be until the
population beco;iies a great deal larger
and denser.
Iosi,ly tie stockholders of the oil
mill might see their wa-" eiear to put in
an electrie light plant of suificient ca
pacity to supply lights for the streets
and for bustless houses and prv.te
residenees. If so, we think the Town
authorities might afibrd to make a lib
eral contract with them.
Exhausted vitality, nervousness, lost
manhood, weakness caused by ever
taxation of the system, will be cured by
the powerful P. P. P., which gives
healt h and strength to the wreck of the
system.

~Don't Think
SBECAUSE I HAD A HEAVY BU
sness that this large stock of Men's,
Boys' and Children's Clothing is broken
in sizes and that you cannot have a se
lection for yourself. Here you make a
mistake. My stock is filled with all
the choice novelties and styl>s in Busi
ness and Dress Suits in Sacks, Cuta
ways o:'the ever-popular Prince Albert,
of imported Cheviots, Cassimeres,
Whipcords, Corkscrews and genuine
Clay Diagonals. I have a large and
well selected stock of fashionable goods
that are correct in styles, perfect in fits
and made with the best of trimmings,
and cannot be excelled for first class
tailcor work.
My line of OVERCOATS is .the best
assorted stock in the city, embracing
all the latest styles and novelties in
this line. You should call and see
them as all attempts at description of
this line of garments fail. I ask you
to call and examine this line before
you buy.I
Just received a fullline of NECK
WEA R, which I call yourattention to.
The largest and best assortment at 2.5
cts. and 50 cts. that you have ever seen
in the city. They are all of the latest
patterns and styles that have been out
this season. It will pay you to call and
see them. Those who come here come
only for good, reliable goods-only for
truthful, straightforward methods. I
an willing to let others quote Satinet
and Cottonade prices with their all
wool stories-that's not my forte.
