The Bpniitees are doubtless ill at ease, /lest the enormous revenue of .Clemson be reduced. That the allege is able to defray the ex? Inses of the trip, indicates that is in essy circumstances finan m_ 'he National House of Bepre featatives has passed an act in-, creasing the salaries of senators tad representatives from $5,0C0 ?tc $7,500 per annum. This 50 per cont increase will take the place foi the railroad passes that the j??terbill has deprived them of. /Before this becomes a law, how ever, the act should be so amend ed as to pr?vido for the forfeiture of salaries of senators and repre sentatives during their absence, unless the absence is from provi dential causes. If salaries of ab iD?ees wera withheld, there would lever be any lack for a quorum. While the people of the South lave been sitting on their porches basking in the glorious sunshine, ie West and Northwest have been ipped in ice and snow, the bermpmeter ranging in many ^.places from thirty to fifty degrees belo'.v zero, a temperature un known to ne. While the grass aod vegetation is already making green ie? "Sunnv South", in some per 'ions of the Northwest the snow lifts are twenty-five and thirty set deep.

As to The Lien Law. "The mau," says au exchange, 'who bas to giv6 a lien has no ausiness tryiug to farm. Ho should make a living some other svay." The Advertiser does not make such a statement as that, but is of the opinion that where oue man has been benefit ted by the lieu law a dozen hav8 been injured by it.. The Cotton Grow Bra' Association of South Caroli na: which is composed of thought ful meu who have at heart thc agricultural interests of the etate, has urged the repeal ot the lien law. It is exceedingly difficult to enact any law that is promotive of tho interests of all of the peo ple. Some are seemingly discrimi nated against by even some of the best laws. It is- the' duty of thc law-makers to study well the con ditions aud enact such laws as contributa to the greatest-good of the greatest number. In view of the fact thal the ,ljen law as it exists has contributed largely to the present demoralized coi di tton of labo-, it is get. orally b lieved tbat its repeal would promote the interests of the greatest number. Should conditions be not bettered,, the law could be re-enacted. Marriage License Law Needed. .The Advertiser is pleased to note that the judiciary committee of the senate has made a favorable, report on a bill providing for a marriage license. -For several years the 'cgislature has refused to pass a maTriage license law, fearing that it would lead to agi tation and subsequent passage of divorce law. This, it seem6 to the .writer, is an erroneous view to take of the matter. A license law would remove some ot toe fruit ful causes of divorce, and, there fore, tend to "remove the need, should there be any, of a divorce law. Hasty marriages and the marriage of persona who, und^r the law, have not attained to a marriageable age, are two of th? chief caines of divorce. These two evils, as society regards them, could be abated by requiring per sons to procure a hceuse before the officer s of-either church or state could unite them in mar riage. Having to obtain a license would give time for reflection in cases of hasty marriage, and youths who now perjure them selves, when asked their ages, would be less liable to.-make a ; raise statement- to air- officer, es pecially ./when it was' know n'that ?o:8fet8T?^^^|?^ eutered as ^a-m^ttoroi?^ecftrflv^'v. g^&to&? y.smoug . uiTclass of mill operatives would 1*? ;-infinitely benefitted by a marriage license law. ? "heart less"'wretch'will now marry a .chit of a girl, and, deserting her, re move to some other town and marry another. W*nen called to ac count, he will deny the first mar riage or allege that it was illegal. Under the, present conditions, where is the proof that he legally married the girl, cr waB married to her at all? Were a record made of the names and ages of con tracting parties, also the name of the officer or minister officiating, such cases as the one above cited would be less frequent-than thpy now are. COLD SPRING. The warm spell was broken last Sunday. The weather has been so warm that grass had begun to grow and everything began to look like spring. There was a large congregation that attended church' here yester day. The Sunday school at Red Hill has\added a Home Depart ment, which is a new phase in the Suuday school work.
