wtNNsBORO NEEDS HOMES.

A genuine building and loan asso-
ciatior is badly needed in Winnsboro.
The town shows unmistakable evi'
dences Of growth, but it lacks just
such an organization as building and
loan association, an association that
will build home and sell it on easy
terms. Many young men, with small
incomes, would build homes, if they
could arrange to pay for them in
monthly installments. All progressive
and growing towns have such an
organization. aud Winnsboro should
not be without one-not simply loan
compsny, but company which shall
fill y field that's not now occupied,
that Of lending money exclusively on
real estate designed for somebody's
home. TINS more owners Of homes
there are in any community the better
of is that community. People should
be enc ,urageG to obtain homes for
Themselves. Such course will 1t
only be an advantage to those who
obtain home, but will result in profit
to the stockholders in the association.
Even tn most selfish, and plenty Of
them are 10 every community, can
consistently put their money in 8

SOutks
From the B.rmin9sam f-.ps.
Mrs. n. z. Henry Rutii rec.n!iy
made public 3 hitherto imprinted poem
by Abram j. Ryan, the gifted poet
and patriot Of the South, whose name
must be familiar to readers of Ameri.
csn verse-snthologies, although he
himself v:ote:
"I sing, with voice too low
To be heard beyond to-day,
In mino.' keys Of my peoples woe;
And my songs will pass away"
The publication of the poem was
accompanied by several pages of in.
teresting personal memories. The
writer Of these, when a little girl,
began To- make verses and Father RYAN
helped ner with encouragement and
criticism: Before leaving school she
submitted 4 poem in q newspaper
competition, the subject being the
charity Of the North to the South after
the yellow fever epidemic. Father
Ryan was one OF the judges. Mrs.
Henry-R1fEn tells the rest of the story

in charge of Conductor Morton and
Motorman Moran, while coming down
Providence street hill, after II O'Clock
last night, became unmanageable,
owing to the slippery condition of the
rails, and fairly flew down the steep
incline.
A Suburban car in charge of Con-
ductor Claffen and Motorman Donovan.
was on it's way TO Millbury and had
just crossed the switch at Grafton
street as the wild Providence line
car dashed into view. The cars just
grazed each other and the side sign
board on the Providence line car grazed
the rear end Of the Suburban car.
The splinters flew in all directions
and one struck the glass in the YES
thule of the Suburban car. breaking
it into many pieces.
That was the amount of the damage
done, but the motorman and conductor
of the Consolidated company's car
were badly frightened but they brave
ly stuck to their posts.
A man and woman occupied seats in
the Providence line car and they were
badly frightened. but We're not hurt.
The scene of the occurrence is con-
sidered to be a bad spot by street
railway men. The tracks at this point
in winter are at all times in a very
slippery condition and cars frequently
run wild down the hill.

THE HILL BILL.
Committee Reports Upon the Measure
Affecting National Currency.

Washington Jan. 31.-Representative
Charles w. Stone of Pennsylvania sub
mitted to the House today his report
to accompany the Hill bill recently re-
ported from the committee on coinage,
weights and measures, of which Mr.
Stone is chairman. The Hill bill, the
report says, contains an affirmative de-
claration for the gold standard; a pro-
vision for the interchangeability Of all
forms Of money; a separation of the
note issues from the fiscal branch of
the treasury department.; the retire
ment of the greenback and the estab-
lishment of branch national banks.
Mr.. Stones report says that the Hill
bill is conservative in purpose and pro-
vision. ut seeks" he says. ITO
strengthen, solidify and fortify our
present system rather than to build
anew. 1t especially seeks to allay at
home and abroad all doubt as to the
present and permanent quality Of our
money and to make and keep the
credit of the nation above the reach of
successful attack or well-gr grounded ap-
prohension."
If his bill becomes a law" SAYS the
report 1T will be Of no possible con-
sequence in what particular kind of
dollar of the United States a debt is
payable. as any one will be as good as
any other and every one exchangeable
for any other. and the kind of money
to be paid and received will be merely
a matter of convenience and not of
profit or loss"
The minority report, which also was
submitted today, says that the bill will
make radical changes in our whole
currency system and work a serious.
and it Is believed disastrous contrac-
ton Of our money volume and destroy
the whole of the silver coinage. The
bill, says the report, fixes absolutely
the single gold standard upon the
country. All of the standard silver
dollars are swept from their present
position as standard money and into
the category of credit money and made
a charge upon the government for their
redemption in gold.
The whole scheme OF the bill con-
tinues the minority report. contemp-
lates the destruction of silver, green
backs and treasury notes as money,
and denies to congress the right to Is
sue paper money except by farming
out to corporations and great sovereign
power Notice is given that substitute
will be offered, providing that both gold
and silver dollars shall be standards of
value and providing for free coinage
of silver
