HAMMOND PREDICTS
A GOOD FRANCHISE
Says Citizens Will Be Salts
fled with Water Con-
tract to Be Made.

In conversation on the water
works situation this morning, Presi-
dent Fl. NJ. Hammond of the board of
works declared emphatically that the
people of Richmond would get good
franchise
Whether the city and the Richmond
City Water Works company would fin
ally come to an agreement by which
The city might become a part owner
of the plant, place a man on the board
of directors, and obtain other conces-
siOnS which the city is now seeking,
Mr. Hammond refused TO say defin-
itcly.
However. his conversation led his
auditors TO believe that he himself
was confident that this would be
brought about. Hammond says that
by Offering the contract by bid an
other company, of course, may step in
and underbid the local water works
concern. but this is not probable, in
asmuch as the r. G.. W. w. Co, has its
pipes installed, plant built, and a
monopoly of the entire private con-
sumption
In case the company is underbid.
it would be only on furnishing water
to the city for fire plugs. Hammond
says the present company could still
furnish private consumers with water.
When asked why the meetings had
been kept secret, not only as to the
business transacted, but the time and
place, Hammond said he didn't think
il was anyone's business

club and the citizens at large. lie
referred to the Water Works question
and declared that everyone should
come forward with suggestions, for
that would be the only way in when
IL could he satisfactorily settled. lie
said that the idea was, and presumably
he was speaking from the standpoint
of the city authorities, for the city to
secure an interest in the company with
a view of ultimately acquiring con
troll or at least to secure sufficient
interest to enable the city to receive
share of the company's earnings.
The question of franchises was al
so taken up by the city attorney. lie
said that this question would soon be-
come one of immense importance, as
the gas franchise would expire within
few years. and the city would be
facing the problem of granting an
other franchise. He said that under
the law. the city could advertise with
in period of two years before the
expiration of the franchise for new
companies to submit bids for the sup
ply of gas. He expressed the opinion
that this would be the only way in
which the matter could be adjusted
with satisfaction and suggested that
the club look into the matter OF such
advertising as "A field for work.
Mr.. Gardner declared that money
spent by the city in macadamlzinS
streets was money wasted. He fay
ors permanent improvements.
A Business Session.
Previous to the talks by Mr. Cor

brief business session was held and
several matters of more or less i'm
portance considered. 1t was voted to

The deficit amounts to $lSo.
Authority was given to the commit

THE CENSUS.

Mr.. W. Y. Fair, one of the census
enumerators for the city of Newberry,
says there is a mistake in the figures as
sent out by the census department at
Washington. He says the correct fig
ures are something over 5,400. If he
is correct, and he ought to know, the
department should make the correc-
ton. We are satisfied somebody has
made a mistake. The Mollohon mill
village has been established since
1900, and while some part of it is
out of the incorporation, still some
thirty or forty voters are inside. The
Newberry mill has been enlarged
twice since 1900 and all of that popu-
1ation is in the incorporate limits. All
that portion of the town in the Jones
property has been built up since 1900.
But it is said great many negroes
have left town: That may be true
and yet every negro house in town is
occupied and a number have been
built in ten years and none destroyed.
And yet what difference does it
make. The people are here whether
they were counted or not and New
berry still remains the city that does
things.

THE IDLER.

To The Idler: beg to hand you the
following communication which I
have just received from Mr.. Burton,
and which explains itself. This is
a liberal offer Mr.. Burton is making
and I ann satisfied that there are other
big hearted, public spirited men in
Newberry who will join with Mr.. Bur-
ton in making your park an assured
success. l am satisfied that the pres
ent and future generations of the cit
liens of Newberry will call you bless
ed if the park does come. 1t will be
the biggest thing in a small way that
has been accomplished in NeWberry
in a generation. The land referred
to by Mr.. Burton extends On either
side of SCOTS creek from College
street to Calhoun street I will try
to get a meeting of a few men whom
think will be interested and see
if We cannot get the thing moving in
the next few days.

IMPROVED FARMING.

The Herald and News prints in full
in this issue the report of Mr.. S. NJ.
Duncan, farm demonstration agent for
Newberry county. Here are the figures
giving a practical demonstration Of
what can be done on the farm if the
proper methods are used. We hope
every farmer will read this report in
full and sud- the figures and then
determine . do better this year.
The largest yield made in 1910 OF
Gotten was by Mr.. E. NJ. Cook, 2,672
pounds, under the demonstration plan
and same year under the ordinary plan
he made 700 pounds. Look at the diff
ference. It took more fertilizer pos
sibly, but no more labor.
The largest yield of corn under the
demonstration plan was made by DR.
W. C. Brown, 1O6 bushels, while un
der the ordinary plan he made 2;
bushels.

Newberry: The city that does things.
NOW FOR THE PARK.

It seems to us that the proposition
which Mr.. J. A. Burton directs US to
submit to The Idler in regard to the
park and which The Idler uses in its
column should appeal to the public
spirited citizens OF Newberry and that
steps should be taken at once to Sc
cure this land. We think Mr.. Bur-
tons estimate Of the value Of his land
is reasonable The other land can be
had from Mr.. P. E. Scott and the
Can't estate and others at reasonable
figures and it should be secured before
it is cut nto lots and built upon.
The place is ideal Off park. 1t
lies on either side of Scottis creek
from ColIege street to Calhoun street
and with very little work could be
made into beautiful park. The 10
cation is near to all the residence Sec
ton of the town and we sincerely
hope that those OF our citizens who
have the means, will cooperate with
Mr.. Burton and secure the land and
organize park commission and be-
gin work at once.
There are many and good reasons
why the park should not belong to the
city but arrangements could be made
with the city for policing and caring
for the, grounds.
It will take five or six thousand dol
lars to secure all the land needed and
to lay out the grounds and do the nee
essary work to open the park. This
amount ought to be raised easily,
when it is to be used for a purpose
that will be Of so untold benefit to all
our people. Think how the people en-
Joy going to Willowbrook and what
a pleasant recreation it is and we are
sure when you do you will be willing
ITO cooperate and aid in this work.
This is one proposition on which there
should be no division of opinion.

Mr.. E. H. Aull, Editor Herald and
News, Newberry, S. C.-Dear Sir:
Please say to The Idler that I am at
last ready to start the park.
Some time ago you and I looked at
the piece of land along the East side
of Scots creek which you thought
reasonably priced at six hundred dol
lars. I have decided to contribute
this entire piece of land containing
about one and a third acres, whenever
you get enough contributed to pay for
the balance of the land. By the way,
there is spring on this lot.
am ready to deed this either to
the town or to a commission which
ever you decide is best, upon ccndi-
ton that it will always be used as a
park, and that T shall not be connect
ed with the park commission. How
ever, if there is no objection, I would
like to name one member Of the COM
mission.
With best wishes for the success ot
the park, am,
Yours truly,
J. A. Burton.
