The opponents of the lien law have already opened their batteries upon it and have raised their annual clamor for its repeal. This law, like every other law upon the statute books, has its friends and its enemief: its good and evil side and its uses and abuses. In continuing it in full force and effect we should consider whether the law works the greatest good to the greatest number, or it is having the reverse effect. The intention I of the law is very good and in the main its application is a help to many a poor man who has a large family dependant upon his daily labor for the bread and meat they eat to sus tain life aDd for the clothing they wear, who would otherwise be unable to procure the food and raiment necessary for the sustenance of life and the comfort of the body unless it be to mortgage their little home, which stands as a shelter between them and actual suffering. The lien law is the poor man s basis of credit which enables him to pitch, work and gather his crop, and, without it, be ! ? ilanrirnrl r\f fho mtona nf VVUUiU UU UC^/l 1 f tU Ui Vuv awvmuw W* getting the supplies necessary to make his crop. By its assistance be is enabled to pull through the dull summer months comparatively free from the harassing thought of wkerewith&ll shall we be clothed and fed, by reason of this condition he is better able to prosecute his work with more vim and energy, and a9 a rule, better and larger crops are the result. It is purely a matter of business, based upon business principles and must be dealt with in a business like way. When "h poor man applies to the merchant for advances, the first question asked is whit property have you to hypothecate to secure me in the event of your failure to* pay me at the time specified? Have you aDy land, or money, or any kind of security that I can seize and convert into cash to liquidate your indebtedness. If the answer be no, the chances are that the poor fellow will go away disappointed at having failed to secure the help in which he stands so much in need. Under the lien law system he can answer I have none of this world's goods which I can pledge as a legal security, but I am going to plant so many acres *in cotton, so many in corn, so many in potatoes, and so on, and I will give you a lien on my crops, and nine chances out of ten, if the applicant be honest and industrious, he will get all the advances he needs. It is a matter of business in which supplies is the one consideration and dollars and cents the other, and the merchant does not run as much risk to lose his account as he would under a plain credit system, in which the honesty of the debtor is the only security the creditor has. It is true that it sometimes happen that the idle and shiftless takes advantage of the law with the cold and deliberate determination to cheat and defraud the accommodating and confiding merchant, and obtain ad_ - ~\ vances with no idea of ever paying for the same, and this is one of the evils of the law. But, in case3 of this kind, it will doubtless be found, \ if the matter were sifted to the bottom, that the merchant alone is to li i-;- i e r.;i i._ oiame ior ms losses iruai a lauure to use the commonest and plainest business precautions and through his own < carelessness and negligence, and be i has to find fault with something so he ! blames the lien law. Hence this is j not a sufficient reason for the repeal ; of the law. The law has for a num- j ber of years been in practical opera- j tion and in the main it has given ; general satisfaction to the merchant ' and farmer alike. Wisdom, it seems i to us, soggests the propriety of leav- ; ing well enough alone, by leaving the law just as it is, for it is possible that to repeal it we may jump from the pot into the fire and adopt another system more pernicious than the one we now have. A poll of the United States Senate and House of Representatives has been taken in reference to the leadership and issues of the Democratic party in the next Presidential election. Of the Democratic Senators now in Washington, twenty-three are in favor of Bryan for leader on the old issues until new ones are devel oped. Ninety-nice Representatives j favor Bryan and the cuirency piiaei- ' pie, while nine are non committal. ! Bryan and the free coinage of silver, ! at the ratio of sixteen to one, will I doubtless be the battle-cry of the I National Democracy in the next cam- j paign. The drays, mules and horses be j longing to the South Carolina Die- i pensary are advertised to be sold to j the highest bidders. A chaDge in j the place of business of the dispensary renders their longer use un- ! necessary is the cause assigned for j their sale. j The war and navy depaitments have sent large re-inforcemenis to Admiral Dewey consisting of both ships and men. When they arrive there will be a land force sufficient * to preserve the peace and hold the island against all comers, and Dewey j will be in command of the largest and most powerful fleet of battleships ever seen in those waters, the fleet of Great Britain not excepted. It is unofficially announced that the Second Tennessee regiment, now in quarters at Camp Fomance near Columbia, in the course of a month or so, will be mustered out of service. While this report is current the sol- [ diers and officers themselves are confident that they will be ordered to Cuba early in February. The Grand Lodge of South Carolina Masons convened in annual session in the city of Charleston yesterday. There was a full delegation from the subordinate lodges present and the field was carefully gone over and much satisfaction was derived from the work accomplished duriDg the past Masonic year. A party of thirty sick United States volunteers left the Santiago hospital and arrived at Fort Monroe, on Dec. 12, iD linen clothing. They have suffered intensely from the cold and an invest'gation will be made as to why they were sent from Santiago scantily and insufficiently clothed. Biiley of Texas, will be the Democratic leader of the House during the I j ^ _ 1 ? remainder Ol iu? pit-strut otraaiuu. Much opposition was developed and a great deal dissatbfaction has been expressed 8gainst the incompetency, of his leadership but he has triumphed over his enemies. The strike of mill operatives in Augusta is still on and the strikers claim to be well provided with food, clothiDg and wood and they claim that they will eventually be successful. It is reported in Augusta that President Estes ai?l Superintendent J5mith of the King Mill, have been removed by the stockholders. Gen. M. C. Butler, of this State, who is a member of the United States evacuation commission and who has been at his home in Edgefield on a furlough, has returned to Havana. He says that he hopes to see Old Glory float ia the breezes over Havana by the 1st of the year. Governor Ellerbe has received an invitation to be present iQ Savannah next Saturday on the occasion of Piesident McKioley's visit to the camps of United States soldiers in that city. "He has not yet decided whether he will go or not. The enrollment in the public schools in the county, according to Superintendent Mayfield's report during the last scholastic year was as follows: White, 3,730; colored, 1,958; making a total of 5,G88. Through the indefatigable efforts of Senator McLaurin some of the United States troops will be embarked from the part of Charleston for their destination. The Columbia Register, after a hard struggle for existence, and having tried both the morning and afternoon field, has suspended publication. _____________ The treaty conditions have been signed and peace now prevails between the United States and Spain, rrrr ... . Mayor Lipscomb is in favor of working the Columbia city prisoners under the chain gang system. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the ! land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The ; proprietors of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given away over ten mil lion trial bottles of this great medicine: and have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured i thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all disease of the Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call on J E. Kaufmann Druggist, and get a trial bottle free. Regular size 50c. and $1.

Bickley, farmer who resides near Hilton, is in deep trouble with the United States It is alleged that he forged the name of Mr. J. H. WessiDger to a note and had the note discounted at one of the Columbia banks. To hide his first crime, so it is charged, he committed a grave ODe which landed him in the meshes of the United States Court by calling for Mr. Wessingcr's mail at the post office which was given him and destroying the notices of the bank that the note was due and had gone to protest. He was arrested last Thursday by Deputy Marshal Thornton and given a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Jennings, in Columbia, who bound him over for appearance before the United States District Court, a piima facie case having been established. In justice to Mr. Bickley the public should withhold its judgment until after the trial, as only one side of the case has been heard, and as a further justice to him it is but fair to state that he claims that Mr. Wessinger instructed him to bring his mail. It is an unfortunate affair look at it as you will. ?? An Uncertain Disease. There is no disease more uncertain in its nature than dyspepsia. Physicians say that the symptoms of no two eases agree.

Women Should Know It. j Mauy women suffer untold agony and misery because the nature of their disease is not correctly understood.

Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark t irci. s unicr the eyes, rheumatism, .1 dragging piia or do 1 acne in the back, weakness or bearing-down sensation, profuse or scanty supply o? uiiue with s'roug odor. frequent desire to pass it with sodding or burning s?-u.satiou. s diment in it alter staudiug in botde or cotnm -n glass for t ?? ut>-loiir i.ours, are signs of kidney and bl nider trouble. The above s\niu o.cs are o:ten attributid by the patient ti r.seif or by h-r physician to rem tie weakness or womb troub e. II nee, so mauy fail to obtain relief, because th y are tr at:ng. n >t the disease itself. but a relie tion of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble.
