We clip the following from the ireenvilie News of the 28th ultimo, bcing an extract from the pro .cedings of the State Grange and state Agricultural Society Meet .ng: Col. Butler read a paper taking itrong ground against the lien law, which, be said, placed the laborer vho had nothing but his muscle on tn equatity with the man who )wned the land. It demoralized abor, and encouraged the laborer .o make arrangements with the .merchant that comparatively freed 3im from work. The law was of 3o benefit to any body, for ia >orers of this class depreciated the and they worked. He had sta istics of liens, he said from e'h. ' een counties. Calculations based >n these showed that there was in ound numbers, ten millions dol ars of property now under lien in ,he State against seven millions in I 1880 and four millions in 1879. The Rev. Mr. Butler was called >n and gave Gcorgia's experience )f lien laws. He thought such ,orked evil and that continuallv. 'o be proisperous a coultry must )e self-sustaining, and the South vas not so, depeuding on the orth for her food supplies. The armer who depended on the torehouse in the city of Green -ille for his food was afflicted with moral leprosy. His honest judg. ient was that Georgia was grow Dg poorer every day, and be be- 1 ieved the lien law bad much to ,o with it. The country was ;etting in debt deeper and deeper. 'lhe people were infatuated with he lien law and the credit system, .nd the only rendy was to go lack to 'hard pan,' and live one -ear on ash cake and potatoes, d nstead of being -a year before' ud eating each year what ought L o be eaten the following one. Gen. Garlington asked how a tian who owned nothing but land ould get credit from the merchant vithout a lien ? No farmer was Lrced to take out a lien. He was ot obliged to do it. The mer hant was certainly not to blame. Ie could not be expected to let e 'ut his supplies without security. ~ Ie boped the Society would pass . o resolution on the subject, but save a man to follow his own dis retion. Mr. Livingston said his friend 1 ad forgotten the petition of the I sord's Prayer, 'Lead us not into I emptation.' If this law was re lealed the supplies would go to he laborers through the hands of 8 heir landlord where it should go, S ,d wer-e not obtained from mer- r hants independently of tho land rd. Farmers could waive their omostead and thus obtain credit, F nd supply their tenants intelli- ~ ~ently knowing every day the ~ dvances the crops would warrant. ~ [be repeal of the lien law woulda ot injure, but would help the nerchants. Gen. Garlington said his friend romn Georgia forgot that thatI tate w~as soaring upward in full I light, while South Carolina had ust come from under tbe iron iel that pressed into her heart, f mnd was only preparing to fly. he needed credit, and the lien ~ aw was a simple prFocess of get-I .ing it. Mr. T. HI. Russell, of Anderson, .hougbt the repeal of the lien law vould be a beuenit to the mer :bant as well as tbe farmer. Mr. Edwards, of Darlington, was with the resolution. He did iot believe the planter should 'ave the right to give a lien. [hose who were given ability to ,izk for those who would not or :ould not think for themselves I 'hould take~ away this ruinous right which did no good to a'ry >ne. He knew the lien de moral ized labor, and deprived farmers >f their services of the best hands. Maj. Hammond asked if the lien< law did let farmers alone. It was not a negative thing. It said 'i the merchant would lend to the1 farmer it would see that he was paid. It would be better to let the fams alone than to run themI or the benefit of corn growers ind meat raisers of the West. He 'avored this resolution, for he re ,arded it as the entering wedge L(ainst mort-ages and liens and )OndholderS. Gen. Garlingtou said the repeal )f the law would stop one thou iand plows in Ureeuvilie county Col. Aiken favored the resol- i Jon. Gen. Garlington again pressed . ,he question, 'low is the poor nan or the iand owner to obtaic I mpplies without the lien law ? Mr. Humbert, of Laurens, said he land owner could sell half of I is land. Gen. Garlington asked where he purchaser would be found. Mr. Humbeat directed attention a0 temptation offered tenants and aborers by the law. Mr. Rucker said the law re noved the land owner from.the I juestion and left the country to e managed by the merchant and i Le ignorant laborer. The negro ns.ead of biring himself as a la )orer, in whieb condition he would i )c most comfortable. set himself a ip as a farmer, because the lien aw tempted him to do so, the and owner being tempted to re- I inquish farr.ing and depend on iis rent. The merchant would be t >enefitted, for everything that in. C reased the productiveness of the oil and the character of farming elped him. Mr. Butler, of Georgia, described I he operations of the Georgia lien aw, which Gon. Garlington said vas practically the same or worse t han ours. Mr. M. L. Donaldson said the and owners of Greenville county vere unanimous for the repeal of C he lien law (applause.) He hought the argument that the lien vas optional would not hold. Far- s iers might as well refuse to out own noxious weeds because it was ptior.al with his cattle to eat i hom. The tronble with farmers t 7as that they were too anxious to t o up and pick the choice fruit ' rst. He then told of farmers who t y living very low in the fast c ear had gone ahead and made ioney, and kept out of debt. r The meeting refused an amend- c 2ent to strike out the word 'for- n ver.' The resolution was then t dopted by an overwhe!ming ma yri ty. After the recess a resolution, of ared by D)r. Jennings, was adopt d that a committee of five be ap ointed to memorialize the Legis. ture for the repeal of the lien w. Messrs. Harry Hammond. E. M. I tucker, 0. F. Ed wards, J. B. Wig ins, M. D)., and M. L. Donald-I on were appointed as such corn 3ttee. if a life be a battle, how mad aust be he who fails to arm him elf for the contest !

A reader desires an explanation of what wood pulp means, and why its )osition on the tariff sheet provokes._.. odignation. Wood pulp is - -ding agredient in the manufacture of pa er. The paper upon which the Ob. 'erver is printed is from one-quarter o one-half wood pulp; its proportion n other kinds of paper varies with the juality of the article. It is made by awing spruce and poplar logs into >locks and running them through ibre machines. A very few men own the patent ipon this process. Last year it was~ tsserted that Congressmen Warner 4iller of New York and Russellof' dassachusetts were the sole owners If this process in the United States. I may be some others are interested n 4t, but to all practical intent,theej wo may be regarded as the Amena m >roprietors of the monopoly. 0"". ng this, they are able to say ho nuch wood pulp shall be sold fo nd thus regulate the price of paper [hey have grown wealthy by foreing ip this price and by preventing the iportation of wood pulp underhess luties-thus levying a direct tax upon he education and intelligence of th Ountry. - The newspapers and'pabhshers and he general public united. fifteen uonths ago in the demand i6atwoo4 lulp be stricken from the tarif sheet :" nd placed on the free list. The ob 1 ect of this demand was to throw open he market to Canadian competition iot because there is not wood enough: ver here, but simply to force this kandfal of monopolists down -t ja, lecent price. The two Congressni-s iamed above made a savage ght gainst this popular demand, and ucceeded, by dint of combinations with other Congressmen who wanted irotection for other articles, in keep. fg the duty on wdod pulp up, and Isaintaining their monopoly. It is iecause of this that the New York' t'ines, Tribune and Evening P.t he Utica Herald, and very many ther Republican papers denounced Varner Miller as an unfaithful rep - esentative of the people. It is be. ause of this that the Observer and 11 other honest papers .and persons hink now that he is an unfit man to e even named for the high office of' ;enator in Congress. Whoever he may be, commend Ls to the man who has taken a (elight in conversing with anti tuity; for, whether Fortune has' I brown him into the luxurios >aths of the the.great, or bas the lignity of wortb, beneth the low y cottage thatcb, self communion as allied him to poetry. It is the temper of a blade that riust be the proof of a good word, and not the gil'ding of the ilt or the richness-of the seab ard ; so it is not his grandeur nd possessions that make a man aut considerable, intrinsic merit.
