The lien law departed this life on
February 18th with, but few mourn
ers to, follow its bier.
Think of it; the legislature has
prolonged its session beyond the al
lotted forty.days! What will hap
pen? Is this to be a year of great
calamities or of unusual prosperity?
Beater hurry up and adjourn,
gentlemen of the General Assem
bly.' Baseball fever is "spreading
rapidly. The "stars" and "fans"
will soon claim the attention of the
press;
Owing to the prolonged deadlock,
lien law debate "and prohibition
skirmishes. Governor Ansel will not
grow so weary affixing signatures
to newly enacted laws as in former
years. The'bills that become law are
probably about half the usual num
ber.
There should be a law prohibiting
the reckl?ss throwing of glass bot
tles about the streets. It - is danger
ous and looks bad.-Dorchester
Eagle.
A state-wide prohibition law will
relieve your glass-bottle-in-tie
street nuisance in more ways than
one.
The next Governor of Sou ch
Carolina is attending the State Sun
day School Convention as a dele
gate. Can you guess who?-Orange
burg Times and Democrat.
* That's easy. Mr.. Featherstone
has for a number of years been as
actively and consistently identified
with the affairs of his church as he
has with affairs of state. And we
concur most heartily in the sugges
tion that he be made South Caroli
na's next governor. ?
Groas Inconsistency. '
Why is it that we only hear i
plea for "God-given rights" and
"personal liberty" in argument
against prohibition? Does not the
concealed weapon law interfere
also with a man's "personal liber
ty^?. To be consistent, some mem
bers of the General Assembly
should have very strenuously ad
vocated the repeal of this and other
similar laws. Were not the cham
pions of so-called personal liberty
grossly inconsistent when they, in
effect, deprived thousands of de
pendent farmers of the right to give
liens upon their crops? By their
ballots these men have made it im
possible: for farmers with neither
houses, lands nor cattle upon a sin
gle hill to realize the necessities of
life upon their crops, their only as
set. This, you say, was done tc pro
mote the agricultural and commer
cial interests of the country; the
minority that will be inconvenienced
through the operation of such a law
must give place to that which will
promote the welfare of a majority.
We grant this to be a sound*, de
fensible position; one^that we
commend rather than assail.
These modern '"Don Quixotes' ac
quiesced in depriving the dependent
class of citizens of their "rights"
ana "liberty" in order to promote
the agricultural interests of the
country by prohibiting, in effect,
the giving of alien as formerly; but
when it comes to protecting the
homes and safeguarding rising
generations, a matter infinitely
i more important than promoting the
material interests of the country,
by prohibiting the sale of intoxica
ting liquors, a plea for "God-given
rights" and "personal liberty" is
raised ,in stentorian tones.
A further inconsistency is noted
in that state-wide prohibition is op
posed by some upon the ground that
each county should act for itself,
yet some of these same lawmakers
voted to make the anti-lien law
state-wide in its application, refus
ing the requests for exemption
from some counties.
The Advertiser does not wish to
be understood as favoring the lien
law. ( On the contrary, we have all
thrpugh the years advocated a state
wide anti-lien law as strenuously
'as^ we have a state-wide anti-liquor
law.

A Lexington county jury recent
ly gave a colored boy one thousand
dollars damages for being injured
on a railroad, and yet some folks
at the north pretend to think that
colored folks have no rights that
our courts are bound to respect. ?
Oran?rebur?r Times and Democrat.
During the same term of court a
Lexington jury convicted a white
man of murder.
Shame on the Farmers!
We say shame on the farmers of
Edgefield county for buying a sin
gle grain of western oats or corn,
when it is possible to grow 60 bush
els of corn and 55 bushels of oats
on one acre during the same year.
That is #hat Mr. E. T. Christian,
of Parksyllle, did last year. This
also strikes a death blow to the
false notion lhat fine crops can be
grown only in the sandy portion of
the county. The soil in every nook
and corner of the county, whether
hill or ilale, will respond with gener
ous yield to proper preparation,
proper fertilization and proper cul
tivation.
Edgefield Rifles, Attention!
In order to prepare for the in
spection March 8th, Company F.
will meet Tuesday and Thursday
nights of this week and every night
during the week beginning March
1st.
In General Order No. 1 it is or
dered that men wear olive drab
uniform, blue chambray shirts and
black shoes, and will appear in
heavy marching order.
A full attendance at all meetings
prior to inspection is desired.

Frances Willa rd Memorial.
The Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union of Harmony com
munity observed Friday afternoon
as a memorial meeting to Frances
E. Willard, whose life and work is
recognized as the great stimulant to
the prohibition movement, and
whose influence widens and broad
ens as the Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union lives and grows.
Mr. L. G. Watson conducted the
exercises and read an article show
ing Frances dillard's call into the
prohibition movement. Mrs. C. A.
Long presided at the organ, and
led the music. Alth ough the weath
er was very inclement, there was a
very good attendance and -the whole
meeting was much enjoyed. Mrs. L.
G. Watson read a tribute to Miss
Willard and Mr. Walter Smith
another. Both these readings were
well selected and beautifully read.
Mrs. J. lu Mims read a paper on
the present status of prohibition
movement. A collection was taken
for the Frances Willard Memorial
fund, which is used for doing tem
perance work in new fields.
