It is certainly a misf :tune. iu a ma
terial point of view. for a mtn to give
a lien, but it is no greater :nisfortune
than to buy on credit. Th; lien law
is nothing more nor less than a short
and cheap method of giving credit to
the man of small means. If it should
be repealed, the systeu: of mortgages
upon t-he crops woull be substituted,
and instead of costing fifteen cents,
would cost several dollars, to be paid
by the wan obtaining the credit, and
enforce the mortgayc. the cost of fore
closure would be very much greater
than the costs for enforcing the lien,
as at present provided. The Su
preme Court of this State has decided
in the case of Moore vs. Byrum, that
at Common Law a man has the right
to mortgage a crop, even before it is
planted, and where it is to be grown
upon the lands of another ; so that
by abolishing the lien law this course
could be resorted to, which, from ne
cessity, would be more expensive and
mare injurious as a system. The
lien law has grown up since the war,
but so has the homestead, and the
one is the. almost necessary aceow
uanimenct of the other. If it were not
for the homestead law, there would
not be so much necessity for the lieu
law, for all that a man has would be
liable for his debts. and would give
him a basis of credit. As it is now,
no man has any credit upon his
property, unless he owns more than
one thousand dollars worth of real
estate, and five hundred dollars worth
of personal property. so that to nose
who own less than this amount of
property, the lien is a convenient and
cheap mode of rendering whatever
capital one has, whether it is a small
amount of land or a little personal
property or only his labor, available
as a basis of temporary credit to en
able him to support himself and
family more in accordance with his
tastes and wishes than he could other
wise do. To take the iien law away
is to a considerable extent to deprive
the poorer class of our country of
credit, and render them more depen
dant.
The Yorktown Centennial.
WASHtiGoro, D. C.-Col. Corbin,
-.Master of Ceremonies at the Yorktown
Centennial, has issued a circular re
garding the arrangements for the cele
bration, which is to take place Octo
ber 18, 19, 20) and 21. The present
advices promise military representa
tions from every State in the Union.
More than 10,000 troops hate already
signified their intention of being pre
sent and it is believed the ihitia to
take part in the celebration will ex
oeed 30,000. Many States will send
full- regime-nts. The Governors of
most States will also attend. accom
- panied by their stafis. For the recep
tion and proper comfort of the latter
abuilding is to be erected. Adju
tants-General of States and command
ing officers of troops intending to par
ticipate are requested to call for any
information concerning the celebra
tion that may in any manner aid in
- endering the occasion worthy of the
great event it is. to commemorate.
Bacchus Allen, a colored man near
Abbeville village, without mule or ox,
rented eight acres of land, which he
Splanted in cotton. Upon this crop he
got a $12 lien. Some of the best
farmers in the neighborhood now esti
mate his crop at three boils to the
-acre. These are faets. We learn
that ai farmer in this county planted
one hundred acres of his own land in
cotton, under which be put six tons of
guano, for which he paid $240 cash.
O About $1,000 of his own money has
been expended in the cultivation of
the land. He naw proposes to piek,
F gn, and deliver his whole crop for
.seven bales. The difference between
the country farmex and Bacchus is:
Bacehus made $12, less twenty-four
-boils, while the farmer lost $1,000,,
less seven bales cotton, plus $240 paid
for guno These facts go to show
what a . great blessing the lien law is
to the poor man, who may so easily
procure the rations before he does any
work at all, while the industrions,
hard working farmer has to sustain
his own losses.

APER FOR THE PEOPLE.
The Heral is in the highest respect a F:n
ily Newspaper, devoted to the material imi
: re;ts of the people of this County and the
State. it circulates extensively. and as an
Adlvertising medlium otrers unrivalled ad
vantages. For Terms, see tirst page.
The Herald and Prohibition
an~d a Party Who Signs Him
self "A Signer."
In another part of this paper is
a communication which appeared in
last week's Newberry Neirs over
the mythical signature of "A Sign
er." Instead of discussing the ad
visability of the prohibition move
ment, he uses the columns of the
News to vent his spleen and malice
upon the HERALD, because, forsooth,
an editorial in last week's issue was
not according to his liking. We I
do not know who "A Signer" is;
but it is very evident that he writes
in a spirit of hatred and nialice. He
shows his animus throughout.
He shows it by saying the HER- I
ALD tells of the defeat of prohibi
tion in.North Carolina with appa
rent satisfaction. when there was
no satisfaction either expressed or
implied--except in "A Signer's"
evil imagination.
He shows it by saying the HER
ALD'S editorial was an insult to the
women of our land, when not one
word was said about women and
not the remotest allusion was made
to them. "A Signer's" self-consti
tuted championship is altogether
superfluous and extremely foolish.
The HERTD has as high a regard
for the women of the coun+; as
"A Signer" can possibly have, and!
hias never uttered a word thiat could
be construed into the shadow of an
insult to them ; and his going out
of his way to drag them into his
abusive tirade in the way he has
done is contemptible
He shows it in saying that while
the HERED~ professes to be neutral
it is opposed to prohibition- The
HEmni has never professed to be
"neutral :" it is never neutral on
any question of public concern
We said in the editorial, "This pa
per is not the organ of prohibition
nor of license-" Any man with a
spoonful of brains understands the
difference between being "neutral"
and not being an "organ ;" but "A
Signer"' does not-and for his spe
cial benefit we explain. A neutral
takes no part in a controversy. But
one can take part i a controversy
without being an "organ :" when
he expresses opinions with the pur
pose of pleasing a particular class
or party, and thus becomes their
mouthpiece, then he becomes an
"organ ;" when he expresses his
own views he is not an "organ-"
He shows it by putting the fol
lowing words in quotation with the
evident intention (for it could have
no other object) of palming them?
off as a quotation from the HER.A.D :
'O, the negroes will vote againstI
us ;" when the HER.U.D did not say
one word about the negroes in any
sape, for-m or implication. But
that is in fuli accord with his entire
article: his object was to abuse, to
misrepresent and to injure the
HERALD, and he halted at nothing.
He shows it in saying that he
"can show when necessary that it!
(the HERALD) is pandering to w;hat
it believes to be the popular taste,
and cares not for the mater-ial in
terest of the people of the County
and State." This is simply a mali
cious slander, without excuse or
palliation ; and exhibits a most
reckless disregard for truth. The
writer knew it was not true when
he wrote it.
The HERALDn has never by a single
word opposed prohibition. On the
contrary, the advocates of prohibi
tion have had free and welcome use
of its columns on all occasions, and!
shall have it in the futur-e wheneverj
they desire it. The HERALD has
advised that the prohibition move
ment be dropped, and has given its
reasons for its advice ; and that
advice and those reasons it adheres
to- We would rejoice to see pro
hibition succeed in South Car-olina
and everyv bar-room closed to-day.
to remain closed forever were such
a thing possible. But we do not
~believe it to be possible now. The
people of the State ar-e not ready

together and, in spite of all that
-ould be done to prevent it., would
elect a Legislature that would r
peal the law ; and the consequence
would be that the State would have
either a prohibitory law nor a
decent Legislatu'e. It is only by
keeping the whites solidly united
that we can maintain a decent gov

too plain to need argument-and

lines if no disturbing element in.
tervene. Let the question of pro
hibition enter into a campaign and
it is not difficult to predict the re
sult. A portion of the whites
would unite with the blacks and
they would elect such a Legislature
as would be a shame and a disgrace
to the State. We know that the
advocates of prohibition do not
want to make it an issue in politics
but if they urge it the anti-prohibi
tionists will make it an issue. it
will be there, and that is the im
portant fact. This is why w do
not think it advisable to urge the
prohibition movement at this time.
When the Prohibitionists neet
in State Convention they shouhd
consder very seriously and wisely
the probable effect of their move
ment. The first question wit~. them1
should be, Can the movement sue
ceed ? and. secondly, Will the agi
tation gf the subject and its injec
tion into politics disorganize the
Demoer?atic party? Ifl they answer
the last question in the adilrmative,
and we do not see how they can do
otherwise, they should1 cease their
agitation at once. It would be a
terrible calamity to disorganize the
Democratic party in this State.
Untold evils would follow. A great
responsibility rests npon those who
are leaders in the prohibition move
ment. We hope they realize this
responsibility, antd will act with
wisdom and discretion.
The President's doctors have
been severely criticised for the
manner in which they have treated
the case. Much of the criticism
has been fromi people who do not
know what they are talking about.
Dr. Hammond, of New York. a dis
tinguished surgeon, says that if the
President had been an ordinary
man he would have been well by
this time ; that the doctorS were
overwhel med with the responsibili
ty of, their position. These criti
cisms app)ear to us as very unkind.
It is easy to find fault.
The doctors, we have no doubt,
ave done their duty ; have done
all that human Skill -could do.
Suppose the Lien Law were ic
pealed, what then i
If a farmer has personal property
he can 'mortgage that to secure ad
vace-s.
The Anderson ]nueligencer calls
attention to the fact that the Su
prmae Court has decided that a
man has a rigrht to mortgage a crop)
evn before it is planted and al
though it is to be planted on the
lands of another.
So where's the difference ? About
the ouly differen:ce is that the lien
system is less exper sive
Shortlyv after President Garflid

After all that has been said
against Conkling it stands to his
credit that during his long serve

corruption of any sort and this is
agreal to say of any publi nmn in
these degenerate days. Conkling

he stands wad and shoulders above

TO the :,/ilor (f the iebcrr e s :
In the last HERALD there is an artir t
just under a noti;c th,.t savs the Ii;:1.. )
is in the 'very highs re.;iect a fardi pa
per and ti ar. it i, de -on d to the n%teri al
int'em. o! :he peot)ie of the Count anid
8:ate," that is hard :o underatatnd in con
neein with that nti)ice. I'. i.= an editorial
th ::. does great isj ;=rice to a tob;e cause
and to a noble cs:s of our people. Alter
telling of the "burial" of prohibition in
North Carolina with at least apparent sat
isfaction at the result, and taking it for
grated thatt South Carolina will do as
North Carolina has done, this "famiiy" pa
per says: C
"III this State there are probably mile.-i
and miles of petitions and mnemioriaiS await
ing 'he assembling of the Legislature. To
juc e from these it would seem that 'the
people' are clantioing for prohibition. W
dount, thoug'h. wiether such is reayiv the t
case. Many have signed these petitions in
a spirit of indifference or thoughtlesslress- (
simply because they were asked to do so."
And then it proceeds on the ground that
the "voters" are t ie only people that de- I
serve ceziidera:tion at the hands of the
Legislature, or at the hands of the "fanily"
paper--that th,e mothers, d.ughters, and
sons, those who make up the "family" and
who are the real sucfferers, are unwort.hy o0
respect, insincer e in their wishes, incompe- 1
tent to sign peiitions, and in this great 1
thing of law and law-making only the "iords
of creation"-tLe dear "voterS"-shouki be
consulted.
We regard the article as a direct insult
to the women of our County and State.
We look upon it as a weak and one-sided
view of the matter and we write this to
Aefend "the people" from the tlse logic of
this editorial in this best (,f "iam:ily p.ipers."
Whi:e the HERAL: professes to be neutral
in the matter, it is as plain as daylight that
it is opposed. to prohibition, and we can
show when necessary that it is pandering
to what it believes to be the popular taste,
and cares not for the "material interest of
the County and State."
1. It speaks lightly of the "miles and
miles of petition:s" that are ;eing prepared
for the Lpgislatiure, and exhalts the popuiar
vote. Now who are those that sign these
petitions, and who are those that vote ?
Our mothers, our wives, our daughters and
our sons make a very large majority of
these name.s. Among them are thousands
of as inteiligent and noble twomen as ever
lived i", any country. These are the real
sufferers frou intemperanee. The voters,
many of them,-a majority of them, are the
besotted, laszy, ignorant, stupid negroes
that. are read~y to vote downe auy'thincg that
is for their own good, and the low, vise, de
graded white men, who byv drink are lost to
all sense ol hotnor and respect for them
selves and their f.iznilies, and those who
would gro.' rich on the miifortunes of their
fellow-men. Now hcre is a"family" p Lper'
dirgigand sering at the first class
adglorifying the latter.
2. It aid';ocat.es a reference of the pro
i it law to the people-the latter class
-sheonly way to know w hat the people
want. Now, let us ask the HIERALD, who
are the peopile that the Legislature should
respect acd protect, the first class or the
lattet Is a Legislature to look only to the
prot-c"tilon cithe m-tie-s over twetyt-tneC
yeirs of agze, or shou'd it throw its protee
tion over lhe more helpless and dependent ?
And does not that Legislature know from
the "mriles anid miles of petitions anid me
morials" what the people want ? Can not
I tell in a pe4titi whalit I desire, as well us
by my vote ?And does not the HEIaLtu
know~ that a Le'gislaturer is delegited by
these peopie to legislatte for them ? What
more tight has a Legislature to refer a pcro
hibitory l;aw back to the people than a
lence law, or roaLd law, or aniy other law ?
Are they no: "the peop)le" in their sovereign
capacity met to make, not to propose laws?
3, The Legislhture that legis lates only
for the' "voters" is unworthy of thme patron
age oftany people. It is to cotisideri the
whole pe'ople, and especially the mor'e help
less ands dependent. A Legislature-as
heartless as somec of the papers -which dis
regards the nomen and .south of the land
is lower, baser, wueaner than Chataberlain's
Legislature ever was.
Finally, we expect to have our "miles
and miles" of petitions respected, and if' one
paper will ntot do it, anotiher will ; and if
one Legislature wil! not, another will. This~
matter of prohibition is too important to be
kicked asirle by a little illogical editorial
now and the-n that insults the fairest and
best portion of our citizens, even if they
are not allowed like the men to abuse the
elective -In-m~ehise. Thei "vote" anld the
"people" have ::!ready ruined this country,
and there ace willing advocates waiting to
do it aga. Salv:ilan is not in the par ty.,
nor in polics, but in heoneey, and a due
regai d to the highest ii-re~rs: of alt. It is
not in the "vote,' but in the will of the
whole~ people. We want statesnien, not
politicians, in our Legislature.
The 1-I.:n.i) is terribly aifraid that prohci
bition wiie he mcade an issue in our elections.
Whiy ? "Oh, the negroes will vote aigaiust
us." Indeed !And wvhat is the HErtLD
doing to eiilighteu them on the subject i
Enlighten them, did I say i If thie HERALD
is right they are more enlightened than our
wives and daughters, for' they are the ones
to decide tihis n atter, while our wives and
daughoers only "sign b)ecause they are ask
ed." The prohibi'ionists do not desire to
make this a political issue. We have no
thing to do with poiities. But we give fair
warnitag that politicianls had better not drag
it in, or' ne miight in that case "vare" as
well as "aign." A SIGNER.
