We've no money in the bank! Sr. S&llmaa ia Greenwood. Rev. Dr. S. T. Hallman, pastor of the Lutheran church, left yesterday for Greenwood. His pulpit will be filled this morning by Dr. Robt. P. Pell, president of Converse college. Dr. Hallman gets around at a lively gait for a man of his years. He has an immense lot of energy and goahead about him, and when he puts his shoulder to the wheel there is something going to move. He is a man of the pen as well as a preacher, and man of the tongue and spirit. > Dr. Hallman was sole editor of the Lutheran Visitor for over ten years, for a number of years publisher and editor, by election, of the Mission News of the woman's mission work of the Southern Lutheran church; author y at one time of Sunday School Notes ^ in the Southern Lutheran, and now on the eighth year's term of service as secretary of the united synod in the South. He is still in demand as a writer. Several secular papers have recently engaged his fservices for Christmas articles, and all this work he does almost, or wholly, as a work of love. Age does count, and it counts for skill, efficiency and valued experience in service for the church and the world.?Spartanburg Herald. Dr. Hallman is a native of Lexington county and the above will be read with interest and pleasure by his numerous relatives and friends. / Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup stops the cough by allaying inflammation of the throat and lungs, and it drives the cold from the system by gently moving the bowels.

When the bill * hall be introduced in the General Assembly at its approaching session for the repeal of the Agricultural Lien law the usual opposition will show itself but with i less probability of defeating it. The sentiment of the farmers in favor j of repeal has steadily strengthened until the legislator will scarcly venture again to ingore their wishes. The bill for repeal has already passed in the House of more than one Legislature, but it has regularly been throttled in the Senate?a body of very excellent gentlemen, but by no means so representative of the farmers or so fuliy informed of their aims as is the popular body. The State plumes itself on its conservatism, it balks at repealing any statute, but the repeated election of representatives who would remove this lingering embarrassment to those cultivators of the land who are ambitious, industrious and thrifty must impress it. As we have remarked heretfsore, the | class that would suffer most inconven- j lence irom cne repeal 01 tne law are ? the non-resident land-owners, but we i are disposed to believe that they are not entitled to fir9t consideration when the interests of the man who not only owns the land, but lives upon it, are at stake. While there are legislators sonscientiously opposed to the repeal of the law, the overwhelming opinion is that they are obstructing a measure which would be of incalculable effiecacy in relieving the farmers of their difficulty in obtaining and controlling labor.? News and Courier. Guilty of Counterfeiting. Passing counterfeit money is no worse than substituting some unknown worthless remedy for Foley's Honey and Tar, the great cough and cold remedy that cures the most obstinate coughs and heals the lungs.

We find it a Christmas greeting sent us by the Southern Printers Supply Co. of Washington: "If von have a friend worth loving. Love him: Yes, and let him knowThat yon love him ere life's evenidg Tinger his brow wit! 1 sunset glow; Why should good words ne'er be said Of a friend?till he is dead? Scatter thus your seed of kindness, All enriching as you go; Leave them; trust the Harvest-giver, He will make each seed to grow.

E. Haitiwanger, president; Jas. ; * W. Shealy, vice-president; C. W. | 4 Smith, secretary; W. A. Leaphart, ! chaplain; P. W. Shealy, conductor; j j J. L. Sease, doorkeeper; S. J. Clark, business agent; P. H. Craps, county organizer. The following committees were ap- ; . pointed: I Executive committee?B. L. Frick, i P. I. Rawl, H. W. Palmer. I On the Good of the Order?M. K. Frick, Haskell Shull, W. C. Sease. Query Committee?J. R. Clarke, W. I A. Leaphart, J. J. Frick. The above were elected to serve for ; , ? the ensuing year. A great many questions came up for discussion, but perhaps the question of greatest importance was that ? of co-operation. It was urged by all the members to work toget her for the betterment of the farmer and the upbuilding of the Union. It was agreed that the County Union hereafter meet with the different local unions throughout the county instead of at the court house as heretofore. The next meeting will be held at Piney Woods on the second Saturday in March, 1909.
