THE REPEAL OF THE LIEN LAW. A correspondent of the Southern Farmer and Horticulturist revives the old question: Tkc Repeal of the Lien law. Erery candidate for the legislature for the last ten or fifteen years has taken this as one of his subject! in the county campaign. The Farmer snd Horticulturist agrees with its and nnfs its Doints so UUliC9]/vuu(,ui| uuvt ^ s _ well that they are reproduced. It says: We agree most heartily with-oar correspondent as to the effect of the lien law in retarding the progress of legitimate farming. There was a time when some such law seemed necessary to eiable tho land owners of the State to procure the capital necessary to utiliz3 their lands: bat, from the beginning, it has proved rcaree to the agricultural interests by inducing wild-cat firming h-r mwiv who knew nothing of the business, and having nothing to lose if they failed, embarked in it as a reckless gambler enters a game of cards. It has always seemed to us unbusinesslike to borrow or lend money upon a collateral which has no existence at the date of the contract. That it has lowered the standard of honesty, intelligence and enterprise of the mass of farmers and brought the vocation inio disiepute seems to go without question. That it has, every fall, forced down the price of cotton, seems equally true. That it has a deleterious influence upon the manhood of him who places himself in the dependent attitude involved in securing a lion is universally recognized. That it nat only cripples energy and enterprise, but increases extravagance, is a fact universally admitted. That it has been a most fruitful causc of fail-1 ure amongst merchants trho make such advances on a speculation upon crops not yet planted, is sustained by commercial records. That the man who owns land, pos sesses character and deserve* ana ?btaics credit pays more for his goods in consequence of the bad risks which the merchants with whom he trades have taken upon speculators in futures ?crops to be grown?is not even denied by the merchants. That the conditions which gave birth to the law do not now exist, no one will deny. The necessity for the existence of the law no longer existing, the j ropriety of its repeal 13 selfevident. To afford those who have been aqail Zwirr lVinmc?;roc r\f +V11C mOOnO fkf BPPTir XUg IJU^UlOViTV^ v-fc ?tuw wwvtuw W* ing credit to prepare for standing alone and upon their own manhood and | provident foresight, it should be revpealed to tafce effect one year after dale of the repealing act. ? All parties wonld thus be put upon noticc?the area devoted to cotton would be reduced and that in provision crops increased. The subject is somewhat thread bare, bat as very little lias been said .' /> r' , about, it lor the last two or three years, . jri .. we would like to hear what the farmT ers in Fairfield County thiak about renealinsr the law. ; AttheCoiton Growers Convention heJd in Columbia during lair week Mr. J.

Nothing can be accomplished without a thorough organi? zation, and the organization can not be perfected unless the cotton farmers will tarn ont, ana astist in the work. If everybody leaves it to his neighbor, then nobody will be present and there will be no organization. How to remedy the ^present unremnneratire prices for cotton is certainly a matter which deeply concerna thousands of people. It is of intense interest to tKftnjonfio in TPairfidlfl /'ftnntr Th<* ^ luvuoauvio IU a.' ??** attendance and interest in the convention. should be commensurate with the importance of the object to be at_ tained. If this is done, then the coQrt "T~?""" house will be overflowing on the first Monday in December. Manx people who would be glad to , uphold Governor Ellerbe believe iKat he lacks a good, solid, firm backbone. Most of the people, whom you meet every day, will tell you that they be? lieve that the intentions of the Gov ernor are gooa, bat that he hasn't enough firmness. He tries to please everybody, and if he is not carefal, his first term will have expired without his having pleased anybody. Some of his strongest supporters have lamed their backs on him, and are now criti?. cieing him severely, charging him as "the greatest political trafficker in the State," &c. We confess that the Gov " . erne? has rot had an easy time of it. He inherited the dispensary from his j predecessors?Governors Tillman and Evans?and nearly all of his trouble has arisen from this source. His term is only half spent, and he has time to strengthen himself with the people. He ennuo* obtain strength by an ex hibition of weakness. Ix 1877, the result of the election for President depended upon the votes jjjL of each of the State? of Louisiana, Florida, Oregon and oouth Carolina. ^ The Sourhern States were then more concerned about the control of the State Government. Such a severe test 'Of ihe temper cf the people and tbe efficiency of the present electoral system could not be safely repeated. Ssys Mr. J. G. Carlisle: "Yet, while the Lffj;'.''. existing system is continued, we are liable to a recurrence of similar troubles at cacb Presidential election, under conditions not so favorable. 9 pei-haps, to the preservation of the public peace." ?

This is going the rounds of the North Carolina Dress as the language j of Senator Marion Batler: "If colored men commit outrages the Democrats pretend to be terribly shocked in public, but when they get behind a wall they laugh until they grow fat, and if the outrages are not frequent enough they hire worthless negroes ta commit them." Three men, one a physician and one a minister, make an affidavit that Senator Butler did utter these word?, in qnhefanne. in one of his SDeeches. So much for the result of appealing for negro votes and a mixed party. We publish extracts from various newspapers giving their opinion of the Newbold case.

It is the system that the newspapers ttiould condemn, and let a jury pass upon Newbold's guilt or innocence.

What a task! BATTLE OF DRAINS YHXE. \ ' Abbeville ifedium. The battle of Drains7ille was foughj on December 26tb, 1861, between Fairfax C- Hm Ya., and Wasington, D. C. Forty-three were killed on our side. The Register, published in Wiansboro at that time, gave the follawing incidents of the battle. The 6th 5. C. V. suffered considerably as will be seen from the account below:' We give several particulrrs of the battle of the 20tb, in which ''our boys" were exposed to a most terrific nre. The Sixth bore themselves with praise worthy gallantry and determination, and received the special commendation of General Stuart, commanding. J. M. Elliott, so familiarly kuown to us all a3 "Johnny," was on gaard duty at the camp when the Sixth was ordered to march. Bat he secnred another in his place in tbat duty, and joined the regiment. After firing became a storm of leaden hail~ iha men threw themselves npon the ground to escape the shower of balls. While lying iiu this position, Johnny raised his head a little, calling to bis comrades to firft at the enemv. when instantly a ball struck him in the head. He sai ived but one week.

Major Woodward's horse was killed. Lieut. Moore, York, rose on hia feet, while all around were lying flown, and had onl? called to his men to fire or charge, when his heart was pierced by a ball from the enemy. Robert McCormick, of Chester, had seres balls put through his coat?not injured. Of thirty-four horses attached to the artillery on our side, all were killed, we learu, hat one, the men seizing the guns and h&aliag them off safely, after blowing up two caiioos to keep them out of the hands of the enemy. > Zeb. Mohlev, of Fairfield, bad his leg broken by & Minnie ball, which has been shown ue, aud which shows the effect of Xhe collision with the bone. Mr. Mobley was in the bands of the enemy all night. He with his wounded companions was removed from the j field to a house. A fiendish Yankee I asked him where he was from. "I ! hftlnmr to the 6th South Corolina Regi merit," replied Mr. Mobley. "Then I will finith you, d?n yon," said the fiend, who at the same lime poised his bayonet to strike his helpless foe, but the timely interference of a Lincoln Lieutenant saved Mr. Mobley's life. All the wounded in that hause were retaken by the reinforcements sent from Centreville. The Shakers bavd made a great hit.

"The murder of Mr. Turner by State Constable Newbold last week is an outrageous proceeding, and unless the murderer is punished to the full extent of the law, the dispensary system will lose many of its warmest sup uui iuio. Kmgstree County Record. Why 8honld Newbold or anyone else be permitted to waylay a man before daylight and shoot him to death? V/hy skould an officer have any snch authority as to kill a map merely becius? he is supposed to be a "lawbreaker? (and in this case th's was not even so). Anderson Intelligencer. Th8 killing of Tarner Dy .wewDOja in Spartanburg last week is another outrageous crime that can be laid at the door ot the dispensary system. The murdered mun was an upright, law-abiding citizen, and his life was worth more than all the profits that ever can be yielded by the dispensary. New bold is a State constable and there wa3 no excuse for bis crime. Ue should be captured and pay the penalty of his crime. Greemoood Journal. But these are rare and strange times that have come upon the people of the State. The dispensary law demanded an armed body of men for its enforcement and these mon were clothed with authority tbat ran into license to do as they pleased; arrest, search, confiscate, imprison and kiil the humble citizen who had 110 redres?. His property and his life were at their mercy and resistance meant death. "We cannot recall a 6ingle cise daring tbe whole of this sickening and humiliating period of constabulary rale where one of them was punishad for any flagrant act of injustice or bish-handect violation of law save bis suspension or dismissal from the force. He only lost his job, and maybe only for a time, then a restoration came and he marched forth to lawlessness again. Piedmont Headlight. It is not the de3ire of The Headlight to anticipate justice or create an unreasonable prejudice agaiust any man who mnct appear before a jury on fnv hi? life or libertv. But we can bat look upon the killing of Mr. J. H. Turner by Constable Newbold as a most crnel and nnprovoked murder, and demand that the whole power of our state government be brought to bear to punish the assassin. Mr. Turner was a good citizen and a true man. He was an honest, practical farmer, and lored his ;people and his calling. He figured conspicuously at mDAfinor An Q.tl&Q. LUU WHVU'JlVTTViO UiVVii'lg VM wwiwv day in this month, aud by a unanimous rote was elected one of our delegates to the state convention in Colombia. Mr. Tarner, on Monday of last week, was in oar office, and in conversation with the senior editor of this paper, remarked that he could ill afford the expense of going to Colamdia, but felt it bis duty to. respond to the call of his people. Henry Turner was a sober man and a christian geotleman. On that fatal morning he started to the train, but when halfway between his home and the depot, without warning or provocation, was shot dead by a state officer. We are told that the shooting was a mistake?that it was'an accident If auy mistake was made it was a criminal mistake, for when Newbold fired that fatal shot he had murder in his heart and death in bis hand. The pi & oi au auuiucuu is c4uo.11> jjjucj A man may fire one pistol accidentally, but when two weapons are discharged the assailant knows what he is doing and means business. Just so long as such men as Constable Newbold are turned loose on a community, no citizen's life is safe. Had any one else passed that spot where those officers were ambushed, as did Mr. Turner, ihev would have been in ectualpeiil.

Gov Etlerbe did right to offer a reward for the arre5t of Newbold. Now, when he is -brought to justice, let Constable Newbold take his chances as any other criminal mu9t do, and pay hii own lawyer's fees. And if he is convicted, let the law * take its course. Onr people look upon the murder of Mr. Torner as one ot the blackest and coldest-blooded deeds in tha criminal annals of this county, and they demand that the guilty man be punished and the ends of jastica meted oat.
