LI~__H. UL t:R rRY:. C. .;V A_OL7 "*.;nC IDIYROVEMENTs". ,"e publi: iin tb aKiekers Column" an edito:ial from our esteemed cotem , - the Ob_erver, which purports to take The I.erald anid News to task on what is 'et :jrprise and progress." It is not exactly a straght, :square kick by the O:s_rver, but it kinder leans th.1 way anid he-e we honor it by a Th'se who are opo sed to the estab li hmen~t of electrie lights and water works oItt may not e opposed to "enter -: pre and progres-,' su:h as costs noth ing, but 'er3terprise and progress" that does not expend money never will ac Comhpi:sh very :uch in the growth and development of a town. The Herald and News does not believe in the wild and reckiess expenditure of money, but thee is nn con . so called, which by v;ithholding, Leomes an extrava kgrnce. We have g,quarrei with those "tiekers" who were at the meeting kicking "with both feet"; nor yet any objection to their "lusty and effectual kicking." As we have had occasion to say before no good or great work was e er acco:p.'!hed "ithout overcoming esositon. Th2ese men who opposed electric lights at the meeting are good, snbstantial eit:zens and we have great repect for them, still that does not - a:ter our opinicn that the establishment of an electric light plant and a good system of water works in Newberry wonid be an evidence of "enterprise and progress' in the d"velopnent and growth of our toWn. Not only tht ebelieve it. woul-U be econniry cn the part of the town to make itinvestment. The money now spe :-. r 'ights is almost without any retu:-n. Amt with the water sup ply now at haiad our fire dcpartment is almost helpiess fire happens to be any distance from: the public square. The Herald and News never thought that the town should go into business and run the electric plant, but our idea was that the most the town would be A ex" cted to (lo was to agree to pay so much i.r annium for so many lights to any conan that would establish a plant and ol.igate to furnish satisfac tory lights. We would be opposed to the town lev ing a tax to establish an eet:rie plant and going in the business o: urnish ing lights, but we would be w'ili. , to put a lit"le more money to that no spe:nt for liilit and have our streets <(ecetly lghted. So far as the, editor of~ thi pper is individually con oerned it makes very little difference to us~ wlhTher ti .c streets are lighted at By th way is the Observer in favor of el :gr 1 .ligts and water works? We rem!a:;.:r ve.ry well that when the maitter of eieetric lights was first dis 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. Thecre was a veryvsmall attendance at the Iirst meeting. If a majority of the avers are satisfied with our present i:s and present system of water wv ks we will be wi::ing to abide their doe:sion. The daily papers have beeu filled with the details of a horrible murder in Columbia last week. A whbite woman wh ':1 ben living with a negro : :'yteriou sly disappeared, and ~ut pli: were aroused that there had b)2n fo):: play. The detectives took !: e'- '' hawl and finally discovered t:. .' dy' of the woman beneath the wi!! . n the bottom of the C'ongaree.

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 is a villanions measure desigrned to keep the Republicans forever in power ay taking the control of the Congress lections from the States and vesting it a G;eneral Returning Boards mainly I oinosed of Republicans nppointed for ife." The Alliance Store inl Spartanburg s said to have failed. It was mianaged >y a Mr. Zinmmerman. Warrants of ti ttachmntns have ben issued. The g :ase will have a heari'ng to-day.

The whole business will c ikely get in the courts. Mr. Zimmer nan has been the county business fi gent and his acts have been recog- it i:zed by the county alliance.

To the Editor of Th2 Herald and ews:-I ask that you will reproduce he following editorial which appears 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 ever voted any ticket but the he )emocratic ticket. His life has een levoted to work for the common . ood and general welfare without reward or be expectation of reward. He i. will ng for the people to say whether he is >r ever has been an office seeker. He s now an Allianceman, standing firm 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.

Trhe charter will be ob :ained at once. The capital stock will ~e placed at.$100,000. The whole cap tal stock, less $2,000, necessary to or anize, has been sut>scribed and a corn nittee of three, consisting of Col. D. P. Duncan and Messrs. J. E. Tindall and . T.

During i morning hour lhe was btusily en aged consulting a number of his Re ublign colleagues upon the condition f the business o,f the Senate, and the rospects of a successful outcome of ny further attefmp)ts to secure the assage of the cloture rule and electionsi As already indicated in these dis-< tches it was found there was a pro ounced indisposition on the part of a umer of thme Republican Senators ;ain, to enter on what they regarded I a hopeless struggle in view of thei ct that the Republican "bolters" are t ill presumably of the same jmiind as I cy were when they voted to lay the i osure rule aside. Consequently it mayc stated wIth positiveness that the I Lanagers of the elections bill have nally decided to abandon the measure, i the interest of the important public g siness remaining to be acted on. As a result of this decision it is con- ] ded on both sides of the chambert mat the necessity for an extra session sappears. Tihe decision has bee nit mm iunicated to the Democratic Sena rs.________ _ You can be cheerful and happy ony hen you are well. If yon feel "out of] TE ACHRR$' COLUMN. 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.

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. P. P.

KICKEE.S COLUMN. Yta,iic Irs,l,:.;'tiier:t-. [Newierry (b-erVer.] Our est ee;e i rnthipoiry TIe Herald and New'- -aid .atTh" : morning: "The citizen.-' ti:eting -huhi he largely attended t:i- :fternon. you have any kicking to a0 n enterprr-e and progre- on t lN2 i r ot your town, now is the tilne to d it."

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.
