Lowndesvllle, B. C., Feb. 16,1908. Editor Precs and Banner; As you know, I was a Confederate soldier, and 1 fought tbe Yankees from tbe gory bil s ofSbllob to tbe J^st fcenes at B%ntonvili#; aud I am still In tbe flgbtagalnsi tbe repeal of tbe Hen law. 1 bear a great bue and cry by some people, that tbe poor man goes to tbe merobant and gives a lien on bis crop, and tbe merebaot coarges bim flfiy per cent on wbat be sella him; and that it tne lien Jaw were repealed, they oould run these poor men and get thla fifty ner cent themselves. Well, then, in the < name or reason, and In tbe Dame or me eleroal God, bow would tbe poor man be benefitted by tbe repeal of tbe Hen law. If be would have to pay the fifty per cent to tbe otber fellow? This reminds me of tbe tello* wbo stole a cow, and was tried. Before tbe bour for court tbe next morning and tbe night before bis trial, be sent each member of tbe Jury a good mess of tbe beef. When bia triai oame up tbe next day, tbe Jury cleared him In a tew minutes. And I tnlnk that Is wbat is the matter with these otber fellows? ^ they are wanting tbe beef In place of tbe merchant. I can not understand how tbe poor man can get along wlthont tbe merobant, or bow tne mercnant can get along without tbe poor man. Tbe repeal of the ll?n law will be a dead shot to all Dullness of this country, and It will bit tbe poor man ... first and tbe hardest?and the poorer be la, and the more Ignorant be Is, tbe more he la hart. Wbat about our honorable Representative! wbo fired tbe gun that killed the Hen law,? that will no doubt bring starvation to many a poor man's dear children and tbe wife of bis bosom??children crying for bread, and tbe last means of credit gone, and the pitiful thought will ring In the ears of poor heartbroken mas: now am I to get something to eat for my family?when at tbe o.mA iima thpan hnnnrahle T.ptrIslators were elected by bailout cast by tbeae very men. How then are tbey to meet this class of their constituents? Tbe man wbo la In want, or even In dread of want, 18 not a free man; and tbe oountry wblcb does not guard him against this danger and this dread, and does not assure blm tbe means of a llvlibood, la not a free country ?and In God'a.name let us have a free oountry ! I can zlot understand bow any poor, bardworking, honest maa, could be In favor of tbe repeal of tbe lien law, when he knows that It will enslave blm. And I can not understand bow any superintendent of an oil mill would want tbe lien law repealed, or bow it interests them anyway. Yet one of them, Mr. J. M. Harden, oomes out In an article In the Press and Banner and wants tbe lien law repealed, and says that he (ears If It Is not done the negroes will run over the white women and children trin th?m I nuDDose from what he says, tbat be 1b going to run for Coroner In the coming primary In order to bold inquest over the dead bodies ol oar white women that tbe negroes are going to ran over and kill wllb tbelr top-buggies tbat tbey buy from tbe merchants UDder a lien ! But In my way of thinking, If be expects to be elected by tbe vote of our good citizens of Abbeville county wbo think an be does, be will find himself I crawl Ing out from under a larger snow-storm of votes than be did In the last primary. , Thanking vou, Mr. Editor, tor past favors, I am, Very truly yours, W.
