We ublish in the "Kickers Column" an CdiLo:il;., from our esteemed cotern poray,the Ob-erver, which purports to takeThe Herald and News to task on what is terprise and progress." It is not exacty a straight, square kick by the Olu-ver, but it kinder leans that v:ny, and hence we honor it by a pos to n in .he column. Th< i- who are opposed to the estab ishmnnt of electric lights and water work- may nct Le opposed to "enter prlse and progress," such as costs noth in~, La: "eaterprise and progress" that doos .ot expend money never will ac S ompl.ih very much in the growth and devek-pnent of a town. The Herald a-d News does not believe in the wild aL: reektess expenditure of money, but there is au econoiny. so caled, which by wi..1olding. becomes an extrava gane. We have no quarrel with those "K_ekrs" who were at the meeting kicking "with both feet"; nor yet any objection to their "lusty and effectuar ckingz." s we have had ocecaion to sa before no good or great work was ever eacomplished without overcoming oppositin. These men who opposed electrie lights at the meeting_argood, substancial citizens and we have great respect for them, still that does not a' er our opinion that the establishment of an electric light plant and a good system of water works in Newberry would be an evidence of "enterprise and progress" in the development and growth of our town. Not only that, we believe it would be econoy oin the part of the town to make this investment. The money now spe?nt fer lights is almost without any return. And with the water sup p,y now at hand our fire department is almiost helOiess i th! fire happeus to be any distance fron the public square. The IferJld and News never thought that the town should go into business and run the electric plant, but our idea was that the must the town would be eXpected to Jo was to agree to pay go much per annum for so many lights to a coripany that would establish a plant and obligate to furnish satisfac tory lights. We would be opposed to the town levying a tax to establish an electric plaut and going in the business of furnishing lights, but we would be willing to put a lit*le more money to that now spent for light and have our streets decently lghted. So far as the edlitor of this paper is individually con erned it makes very little diflerence to us whether the streets are lighted at al or not. B~y the way, is the Observer in favor of electric lights and water works? We rteember very well that when the atter of electric lights was first dis cussed that the Observer snubbed it as Much. Ado about Nothing," but be fore the citizen's meeting was held we understocd that the Observer was in favor of these evidences of "enterprise an progress," but now smece "an op portuulty for the discussion of ways nd( means and the presentation of facts nd figures" h.as been given, it may have changed its mind. * It makes no difference to us what company should furnish the lights. Wewould be glad if the 0111 Mill could enlarge their electric plant and furnish the lights for the town. e~sides other considerations, the es Lab.ishment of such an enterprise would add to the taxable property of the town ad give employmient to more people. We are glad the meeting was held and that the citizens who wvere there, or some of them at least, expressed their opinions5. But we trust the next meeting, wvhen tbe Council gets its re port ready, will be more largely at tended and that the citizens will speak out what they think. There was a very small-attendance at the first meeting. If a majority of the taxpayers are satisfied with our present lhts and present system of water works we will be willing to abide their * decision. The daily papers have been filled wth the detaits of a horrible murder in Columibia last week.-A white woman who had been living with a negro man mysterio usly disappeared, and susiMcions were aroused that there had been foul play. The detectives took the case in hand and finally discovered the body: of the woman beneath the willows in the bottom of the Congaree. It had beemn stripped of its clothing, the hands and feet tied, and a heavy weight fastened to the body and the whiole sunak inu the river. The utnfrtunate woman 's negro paro mourlt was ar'rested on suspicion and con tin ed in jali.

When he returned :o Colu:n bia last week he was quite sick. but they say it is only( "La Grippe," and he will soon be out t We take the following from the Spar anburg Spartan: Fs "H. R. Thomas, as he calls himself, Fe >f Wedgefield, Sumter County, has een appointed railroad commissioner a the place of the late General Bon iam. Mr. Thomas was a student of NE Nofford College when his name was th< ?,agin, but for a good and sufficient in eason he changed is name." Ec There has been a good deal intimated Lnd insinuated in regard to the newly rppointed railroad commissioner. We ga lislike insinuations. If the new rail -oad commissioner's character is not nDE vhat it ought to be why not come out de wd say so and produce the evidence, an [f it is alright then let us have no more tb nsinuations. He may have had good in easons for changing his name, and is Jhen he may not. The Nerald and ly New? knows nothing about the man at ur ill, but we believe in giving every th ar man his dues. But you know past ser- th vices and uprightness of character have hE not counted for much politically in the ti( past twelve months in South Carolina. PC Mr. J. H. Lesesne, for the past two al years editor of the Clarendon Enter- TI ar prise, has retired and is suc%ceeded by st, Mr. E. A. Lowry. The Herald and al News regrets to lose Mr. Lesesne from SE the editorial brotherhood and our best sq wishes will attend him in his future m work. We extend the right hand to as editor Lowry and wish him and the Enterprise success. di to It seems to be about settled now that er the Republican Senators will not at- 0 tempt again to get the Force Bill passed qt and the business of -Le country can be w attended to. But the Democrats had di better be on the alert. m c<. bi The supposed breach between ex- of President Cleveland and Governor Hill A seems now to have been healed. They eN met at a dinner in New York one eve- a' niug last week, and report says met O each other very cordially. Senator Hill can now afford to support Cleve- b laud for the Presidency in 1892, and the th great old State of New York present a u united Democracy at the next national " to convention. ei Gen. Wade Hampton has accepted 01 the invitation to deliver the oration on I the occasion of the Centennial of Co- di lumbia to be held in that city in May. si Iti The New York Press says that the ladies of New York insist that Gov- s ernor Hill must marry before he can el hope to be a promising candidate for t President. Cleveland got there in a w state of single blessedness, and why not b Hill. But Governor Hill is Sen%tor el Hill now and is not thinking so much ai about presidential honors. Cleveland seems to be in the lead at this time to bi return to the White House on the 4th ti of March, 1S93. a ti The Alliance Bank, to be organized + in Columbia, seems now to be an as- ti sured thing. The directors have been u elected. A meeting 'will be held this g week to elect officers. It seems to be p settled that Mr. D. P. Duncan is to be S president. The other officers have not ~ yet been indicated, still we presume b4 there are plenty of good men who will b: be willing to accept positions. We 0 wish the new enterprise success. U The Acts and Joint Resolutions of h. the last session of the Legislature have been printed and distributed. They t make a book of 400 pages, three-fourths ay~ of which is taken up with laws of a st private and local nature. There is en- ai tirely two much local and special legis- a lation-.s There are two counties in Georgia, jo says the Augusta Chronicle, in which b4 there is not a lawyer. And in one of these their is neither a doctor nor a A dentist. What a fine opening this is ri; for some young men, unless these peo- U ple never get sick, have the toothache nor quarrel with their neighbors. If that is the case then we want to move ar there at once. The Alliance Record, a Georgia pa per, says: "The editor of the Rome Tribue is n; not a farmer, but a school teacher. The w next thing you hear he will be advising st the farmers to plant billy goats near .ai the fence so their horns can run on the bl rails." ta No doubt there are some men editing b agricultural papers, and advising the ~ farmers what to do and how to plant i and cultivate their lands, who know D) just about enough about farming, from J. practical experience, as to give such advice as the above. But the Romei Tribune is not an agricultural paper. o The New York Sun, together withp many other Northern papers, has -A fought the Force Bill very vigorously. U The Sun describes it as follows in reply a to an inquiry from a subscriber: f "The Force Bill, as passed by the C< House and as under consideration in m the Senate, with changes and amend-. ments, is a document of one hundred of and ninety-two big printed pages.m "It can be roughly described in less in than one hundred and ninety two letters sit as a villanions measure designed to keep the Republicans forever in power by taking the control of the Congress elections from the States and vesting it n General Returning Boards mainly T~ omposed of Republicans appointed for ife." The Alliance Store in Spartanbu rg A s said to have failed. It was managed ay a Mr. Zimmerman. Warrants of th ittachments have beenm issued. The ga rase will have a hearing to-day. The PU iability is fixed from $10,000 to $30,000. [ the members of the alliance have ar :his amount to make good it will like- pa y injure the work of the alliance in biI spartanburg. p At present thie matter is in a rather 110 yeculiar situation. The creditors-claimi no ;hat the alliance is responsible, and ag hat Mr. Zimmerman was only the igent of the alliance, while the mnem- sti >ers of the alliance claim they are not th~ esponsible. The whole business will c ikely get in the courts. Mr. Zimmer- be nn has been the county business fin gent and his acts have been recog- in mzed by the county alliance.

Jty of Alliancemen as D)emanded by the Ocala Platform. lo the Editor of Th- Herald and ws:-I ask that you will repr-duce following editorial which appears the last number of the National onomist, the official organ of the tional Alliance, that members of order may know the truth and rn that my position is correct in re d to the obligation of members. L'he writer has voted since 1852 and v,er voted any ticket but the the mocratic ticket. His life has been voted to work for the common good d general welfare without reward or expectation of reward. He is will f for the people to say whether he is ever has been an office seeker. He iow an Allianceman, stauding firm on its principles, demands and meas es, and knows io party that opposes mi. He knows principles, demands d measures alone, and :members of e alliance who do not stand where does are ignorant of their obliga ns or reckless of them. No official can sell out the order iile he is a member of it without ex sure if he knows it. The traitor in ages has been the scum of mankind. ie members of the order in Kansas a loyal and brave. They heroically >od by their colors and elected an iance champion to the United States nate over Ingalls, the bloody-shirt uatter. They were not sold out. The editorial in the National Econo ist, volume 4, No. 19, page 300, reads follows: The question is constantly being pre ted as to how much fealty each in vidual member of the Alliance owes declarations of the National Farm s' Alliance and Industrial Union at yala and St. Louis. There is no testion but that delegates to b'oth the :ala and the St. Louis meetings, who re present and participated in the scussion and then voted upon the easur-s, owe allegiance fully and mpletely to the decision arrived at, it in order to fix this doctrine as one the fundamental principles of the [liance, and to make it certain that ,ery such delegate did owe such alle ance, the following resolution was opted by the Supreme Council at :ala: 'Resolved, that we discuss freely, fully. ,nestly and throughly all measures and res itions presented for coisideration, and at where the action of tme majority has en had that we delegates pledge our united pport to then, believing when this body s spoken It is our duty to stand as a unit the outside world." "The adoption of this resolution for er settles it as to fealty on the part those who participated in the meet g of the Supreme Council. "As to the question of fealty to these mands by the individual member ip much might be said; but since ese delegates to the Supreme Coun I were representatives elected by State llances, which in turn were repre ntative bodies composed of delegates ected by the counties, and they in rn were representative bodies com )sed of delegates eiected by the subs ho composed the individual mem rship of the Order; now, therefore, ery single member of State, county id sub- Alliances must of necessity be )und by such action unless they re idiate it. It is one of the oldtst and st established principles of law that e principal is always bound by the t of his agent when the act of Le agent has been made known him- and he has not repudiated it. lence is a full and complete ratifica >n of the act of the authorized agent ider all circumstances. This, it must admitted, fixes the question as to alty throughout the entire Order, and edges it firmly and irrevocably to the .Louis and Ocala demands, except such cases as it may have repudiated ch action. Brethren should remem r this when they hear an indiscreet other attacking the platform of the rder and ridiculing it, and talking in e opposition. They should hold him ~rsonally responsible, bringing him fore the proper authority and trying m in regular form. "The question may be asked, how can e Ocala platform be repudiated ? The iswer is, the State Alliances can re idiate it if they choose, and so can .b-Alliances, and so can County Alli ices. True an individual cannot take ty personal action in repudiatioc, It if he is not in accord with the me and ready to endorse it, he ould withdraw from the Order, and in the ranks of those with whom he longs." The writer kindly requests all news tpers in the State, friendly to the liance, to reproduce the above edito t from the National Economist for e information of alliancemen. Respectfully, ELLISON S. KEITT. ENOREE PLANTATION, ;S. C., Janu y 31, 1891. The AllIance Bank. [Special to News and Courier.] COLUMBIA, S. C., February 2.-A eeting of the Alliance Bank directors u.s held here to-night and the few ob .cles recently referred to in the News id Courier were promptly and amica y removed. The charter will be ob ined at once. The capital stock will p laced at $100,000. The whole cap 1[ stock ,less $2,000, necessary to or ntize, has been subscribed and a com ittee of three, consisting of Col. D. P. uncan and Messrs. J. E. Tindall and T. Duncan, has been appointed to cure additional stock. This commit e also has charge of the other prelinm ary matters, including the selection location for the bank. Dr. Stokes left Columbia to-night for ashington, where he goes on an im rtant mission for the State Alliance. Sthe president of the organization in is State lie is a member of the legis ive committee of the National A lli ee. This committee will meet in a w days at Washington to frame a mgressional bill to carry otut the de ands of the Alliance.

Much has been said about school dis tricts, and the common school system generally. It is a system too often criticised unfavorably by those who do E not fully understand its merits. It has n not given entire satisfaction. What system, or what law could do this? ]a There are always some ready to fight Y that which they do not understand, et and understanding they do not cease y to fight. In order to have the school . system of a county accomplish its pur- u( pose, it must receive the support. of the lu people. If it does not receive this, it must end a failure. tE But we wish to lay before the readers a, of this article some idea of the present al system and of the prorosed aim. t Under the present system in New berry County, each township, with one U exception, constitutes a district. These 0 districts are each under the control of ; three trustees appointed by the County k Bon' of Examiners. These trustees P . - . they carry out the law have a a good deal of work to do. (a) They have ft a right to locate schools wherever they may think proper. (b) They can say h what the salaries of tlie different teach- t( ers in their district shall be. (c) They ii can use money for the purpose of buil- sf ding school houses or for supplying a schools with the proper furniture. In fact they have a great deal of n power. Having this power then, and 1 receiving very little compensation for h their services, is it best that they should ti have a great many schools under their ti charge? If they were paid for their i work then they might afford to give c the schools proper attention, but re- e ceiving no pay it is quite different. l1 But let us look into the proposed plan P and see if there is any thing in it c worthy of notice. D The plan is to make the school dis- 11 tricts of sueh size that there will be v only two schools in each district-one h for white and one for colored children. l The township lines would be disre- 1 garded. Suppose that there are 700 a square miles in Newberry County, then there would be not more than thirty or n thirty-five districts, and these districts a would be of such shape and area tha. r every child could attend school. But a the question will be asked, what is to r be gained by this new system? a 1st. It would increase the attendance e in the schools. The constitutional two mills tax, is appropriated to the differ ent districts in proportion to the aver- n agesattendance in the schools. t It is natural to suppose, then, that each board of trustees would be anx ions to have every child in their dis- s trict enrolled so that they might get a e large part of the public fund. Having only twoschools, they could the more ea. ilv attend to this work. 2nd. The teachers would get better pay for their services. Now they re ceive on an average, in the county, r about twenty-two dollars per month. There being less schools by the new plan, there would be more money for 0 each teacher. r 3d. The teachers would prepare 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. a 4th. The schoolhouses would be bet ter. As it is now, there are a great many inferior school rooms in New berry County. They are not at all suited for school work. Each board of trustees would doubtless go to work and, secure a good and comfortable schoolhouse. They would also take pride in having their buildings well C turnished. .5th. The people would have a right to levy a special tax for the support of scho.ols. The school fund is too small.1 Every one will admit this. It is often i necessary to supplement the school t< fund by pfivate sdbhscription. This does very swell in some communities. but in others is almost a failure. If s we can raise sufficient money to run the school six months in the year, every child will have the opportunity of receiving a fair common school edu- ~ cc.tion. There are ot.her reasons why the district system would be beneficial, hut n it is unnecessary to give them here. t It must, be admitted, however, that o there are some objections to the sys tem, and some reasons why the old is r better than the new. These objections c we will consider at the next meeting d of the association. f On the 14th of February we wish to b have a large attendance at the Teach- 1 ers' meeting. Everybody interested is t invited. r BELOW ZERO IN THE NORTHWVEST.~ A Cold Wave Overwhelms Northwestern and Southern Dakota.

[Special to the News and Courier.]) COLU3fRIA, S. C., February 2.-With the exception of a few sporadic cases the cotton seed meal agitation hast about snuffed itself out. The particu lar cases within and without the law have been publisbsd in the News and a 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 k 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 T trouble. The trustees have regarded the irregularities reported as mistakes and not as crimes, and the cases have ~ all been settled in accordance with the law. .P As regards cotton seed meal and fish F' scrap, Mr. Tindall says they are very largely used as fertilizers, and are valued by farmers only for their anm monia. It came into the State from the - WVest, even from ArKansas. The analy ses vary from 4.50 per cent of ammo - nia to S.453 per cent. It is manifestly unjust, tv th to farmers and honest (i dealers that the pric should be uni form, that a 4.50 per cent goods should command the same price as .8.453 per cent goods.I The only way to regulate the matter _ so as to protect the mills and (dealers which furnish pure meal, analyzing from 7.7.5 to 8.50 per cent. and the far mlers, is to require each lot to be guzar anteed as to its ammonia. Tbe other ingredients amount to so little theyF are not regarded by the buyers. The sentiment of the farmers, as well as mill men, will sustain the requirement1 that cotton seed meal be dealt with as_ other fertilizers. P. P.

Public Improvements. Newbcrry Obterver.1 Our etteemed con:ierporary The erald and News Said ia:it Thursdy orning: "The citizens' meeting -hould b. r(elv atte;ded this :iterioon. If Pu have any kicking to do against terprise and progress on the par, of >ur town, now is the time to do it.' Well, the kie:kers wer, there with >th feet.

There has been a good deal talk ab)out electric lighis; but it has ei of a very desUitory and vague ind. The puble meeling gave an op )rtunity for the discussion of ways 3d means and the presentation of ,ets and figures. No doubt the citizens would like to ave electric lights and water works o; but whether they are willing to icur the additional tax necessary to cure these new improvements, is :iother (juestion. The Observer does not believe that tunicipal corporations ought to go into usiness enterprises, such as electric ghting and water works. Whenever iere is a sufflicient demand for these iintgs stock compaies will be organ :ed to furnish them. Town or city )rporations mi;ght properly, we think, ntract to take a certain portion of ght or water per anum, at a fixed rice; but it ought not to undertake to >nduct enterprises of this sort, unless should beconvi necessary-as it i'ght become in the case of water -orks-for sa itary reasons. But there no such nectssity as that at New erry now, aid will not be until the opulation becomes a great deal larger nid denser. Possibly the stockholders of the oil ill might see thi-ir way ciear to put in n1 electric light plant of suflicnt ca al'ity to supply lights for the streets nd for busness houses and private asidenees. If so, we think the Town uthorities might afford to make a lib ral contract with them.
