4 "ea%ible Article don site MeItn It is certainl a mihfAtule. in a m a terial point of view. fr a' an to give a lien, but it is no greater wisfurtune 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 If it should be repealed, the systea: of mortgages upon t-he crops wouli be substituted, and instead of costing fifteco cents. would cost several dollars, to be paid by the man obtaining the credit, and then, if it should t.-me necessary to enforce the mortgage, the cost of fore closure would be very much greater than the costs for enforcine 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, fruin ne cessity, would be more expensive and ware injurious as a system. The lien law has grown up since the war, but so has the houletead, and the one is the, almost necessary aceon) oaniment of the other. If it were not or the homestead law, there would not be so much necessity for the lieu aw, for all that a mac has would be hable for his debts. and would Live him a basis of credit. As it is cow, no man has any credit upoc his property, unless he owns more than one thousand dollars worth of real estate. and five hundred dullars worth of personal properiy. so that to iiose who own less than this amount of property, the lieu is a convenient aud cheap mode of rendering whatever capital -ine 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 wishe.s than he could other wise do. To take the lieu law away is to a considerable extent to deprive the poorer class of our country of credit, and render theru more depen dant. The Yorktown Centennial. WAsHIiTON, D. C.-Col. Corbin Master of Ceremonies at the Yorktowr Centennial, has issued a circular re garding the arrangements for the cele bration, which is to take place Oeto ber 18, 19, 20 and 21. The preseni advices promise military representa tions from every State in the Union Aore than 10,000 troops have alread3 signified their intention of being pre sent and it is believed the wilitia t( take part in the celebration will ex S30,000. Many States will full regiments. The Governors 02 most States will also attend, aecom panied by their stafis. For the recep tion and proper comfort of the lattel 6 a building is to be erected- Adjai tants-General of States and command ing officers of troops intending to par. ticipate are requested to call for an9 information concerning the celebra tion that may in any manner aid it rendering the occasion worthy of th< ~rent event it is. to commemorate. Bacchus Allen, a colored man nea1 Abbeville village, without mule or ox rented eight acres of land, which hi planted in cotton. Upon this crop he got a $12 lien. Some of the bes1 farmers in the neighborhood now esti mate his crop at three bolls to the acre. These are faets. We leart that a farmer in this county planted one hundred acres of his own land it cotton, under which be put six tons o: guano, for which he paid $240 cash. About $1,000 of his own money ham been expended in the cultivation o: the land." He naw proposes to pick, ~in, and deliver his whole crop fot seven bales. The difference bet weer the country farmer and Bochus is: Bacchus made $12, less twenty-foum S boIls, while the farmr lost 81.0@C less seven bales cotton, plus $240 paid for guano. These facts go to shrow what a great blessing the lieu law is to the poor eso, who amay so easily procure the rations before he does alny work at all, while the industrius, hard workiag farmer has to sustain~ his own losses.

Tr he Herald is in the higliest respect a Fa~m i1) Ntwspaper, devoted to the material in :rts of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensi d a an Advertisi- in hium ofrers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms. see Iirst page. Tlhe Herald aud Prohibltion And a Party Who ignis Hin self "A Signer." In another part of this paper is a communication which appeared in last week's Newberry News 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 A ews to vent his spleen and malice upon the HERALD, because, forsooth, i an editorial in last week's issue was not according to his liking. We 1 do not know who "A Signer~ is: but it is very evident that he writes in a spirit of hatred and malice. He shows his animus throughout. He shows it by saying the HEP 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 HEa .u.D's editorial was an insult to the women of our land, when not . on( word was said about women atd not the remotest allusion was madE to them. "A Signer's" self-consti tuted championship is altogethei superfluous and extremely foolish. The HERALD has as high a regard for the women of the country a. "A Signer" can possibly have, and has never uttered a word that could be construed into tbe shadow of at insult to them; and his going oni of his way to drag them into hiz ubusive tirade in the way he ha. done is contemptible. He shows it in saying that whilE the HERALD professes to be neutra it is opposed to prohibition. The HERALD has never professed to b< "neutral :" it is never neutral or any quiestion of public concern We said in the editorial, "This pa per is not the organ of prohibitiot nor of license." Any man with 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 neutra: takes no part in a controversy. Bui one can take part in a controversl without being an "organ :" wher he expresses opinions with the pur pose of pleasing a particular clast or party, and thus becomes thei2 Imouthpiece, then he becomes at "organ ;" when he expresses hit 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 then off as a quotation from the HER.ALD '0, the negroes will vote againsi us :" when the HERALD did not sa) one word about the negroes in any shape, form or implication. But that is in fuli accord with his entire article: his object was to abuse, tc misrepresent and to injurc the HEn.D, and he halted at nothing. He shows it in saying that hE "can show when necessary that it (thie HERALD') is pander'ing to v/hal it believes to be the popular taste, and cares not for the material in terest of the people of the County and State." This is simply a mali cious slander, without excuse o2 palliation ; and exhibits a mosi reckless disregard for truth. ThE writer knew it was not true whet he wrote it. The HERALD 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, anc shall have it in the future whenevei they desire it. The HERALD hat advised that the prohibition move ment be dropped, and has given itt reasons for its advice ; and thai advice and those reasons it adheret to. We would rejoice to see pro hibition succeed in South Caroline and every bar-room closed to-day to remain closed forever were sueli a thing possible. But we do no! believe it to be possible now. The people of the State are not ready for it-and by the "people" here we mean the voters : for they alone have the power to settle it-whe'th er rightiy cr' not it is useless to in quire-they have it, and we cannot help it. Can we prohibit the liquor trafc in this State ? Will not the attempt to do so prove worse than a failure-a political disaster These are questions that thir.king men will p1Mnder over and stud',y seriou.lv. There is certinnly dan ge' here. aud hu is reckless who disregards it. This qu-iestiol mist be cunsiderel with referce to those who vote. because its success or defeat depends solely on :h' m. Some persons seem to think that -f the present Legislature were to pass a prohibitory law without co1 salting the voters that that would end the trouble. It would only be t -b- inning. Should the Legis!a t,re ptss the law without reference to the voters the voters would sim ply wait till the election of 1882, and then-to use the words of -A Signer," without endorsing them "The voters-many of them-a ma jority of them (who) are the besot ted, lazy. ignorant, stupid negroes and the low, vile, de graded white men. &c.," would band together and, in spite of all that could 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 neither a prohibitory law nor a decent Legislatu'e. It is only by keeping the whites solidly united that we can maintain a decent gov ernment in South Carolina ; this is too plain to need argument-and they will remain solid on party lines if no disturbing element in tervvne. Let the qaestion of pro hibition enter into a campaign and it is not diffieult 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 polities i but if they nrge it the anti prohibi tionists will make it an issue. It will be there, and that is the iu pol tant fact. 1 his is why we do not think it advisable to urge the prohibition movement at this time. When the Prohibitioists u in State Convention they lio-ald consider very seriously and wisely the probable effect of their wove einet. The first question with them should be, Can the novenic-Dt suc coed ? and, secondly, Will the agi tation of the subject and its injec. Ition into politics disorganize the Demucratic party Y if they answer the last qutestioni in the aniirmuative, and we do not see how thev can: do otherwise, they should 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 iu the prohibition move nment. We hope they realize this responsibility, and 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 from 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 ; thiat the doctors were overw~hel med wi th the responsibili ty of,, their position. These criti cisms appear to us as very unkind. It is easy to find fault. The doctors. we have no doubt, have done their duty h ave done all that human skill-could do. Suppose the Lieu Law were i.e pealed, what then ? If a farmer has personal property he can mortgage that to seeure ad van ces. The Anderson ihteliq:annr calls attention to the fact that the Su~ premne Court has decided that a man has a right to mbortgage a crop even~ before it is planted and al though it is to be planited on the lands of another. So wher-c's the differ-ence'? About the only difference is that the lien system is less exper sive. Shortly after Pr-esident Garfield was shot a man in Ohio said in the presence of others, --I hope he'll die." One (of the party knocked him down. For this he was tried on a charge of assault and battery, found guilty and fined. A news paper editor called for one cent contributions to pay the fine. At last accounts there were over 60. 000 subscr-ibers to the fund.*~ After talking with a number of farmers on the subject of the Lien Law we have no reason to believe that Newberry County is -clam oring" for its repeal. A Georgia Senator has offerecd a bill to make the impor-tation or manufacture of commercial fertili z'r in ta Stat a. misdemanor. (1enI t. 'O;.tMIIA, S.
