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be repealed, the systea: of mortgages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.

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.

.A VAPEK FOR T11E PEOPLE.
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

North Carohna has done, this "famniily" pa

We regard the article as a direct insult V
to the women oi our Courty and state. Sl
We look upon it as a weak and one-sided a
view of the matter and we write ,his to ,
yefntd "the people" front the filse logic of
this editorial in this best cf "family p.ipers." b
WVhi:e the H ERAL-: professes to be neutral li
in the matter, it is as plain as daylight that k
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 iterest of f
the County and State." s1
1. It speaks lightly of the "miles and
miles of petitions" that are i)eitg prepared
for the L-gislature, and exhalts the popuiar
vote. Now who are those that sign these
penitioiis, and who are those that vote? i
Our mothers, our wives, our iaughters and a
our soas make a very large majority of b
these niames. Among them are thousands
of as irAteligeat and noble %ornen ais ever
lived il any country. These are the real 8
sufferers from iiuterperance. The voters,- t
niany of them,-a majority of them, are the s
besotted, lazy, ignorant, stupid negroes
that are ready to vote down auythilg that
is for their own good, and the low, vile, de
graded white men, who by drink are lost to
all sense of honor and respect for Lhem
selves and their f.anilies, and those who
would gro-i ich on the mi:fortunes of their
fellow-men. Now here is a "fai.ily" piper
dis.egArdiag aid sneering at the firbt ciass
and glurifyirg tbe latter.
2. It advucates a relerence of the pro- ]
hihitory iaw to the people-the latter class
--as the oiily way to knew Ahat the people
want. Now, let us ask .,e HERAID, who
are the pepile that the Legishl.ure should
respect :.d protect, thea first class or the 1
latter: Js a Legishe.ture to look only to the
protee' si o tha m-vla-s over twernty-orro
ye irs ofl:*e. or shou'.d] it throw its protee

more night hia n Legislature to refer a pro
l.ibitory law bvack to the peopale than a 1;
flice law, or ro.ud law, or any othe~r law ?
Are they not "theC people" in their soverer'n
capacity twei to make, riot to propose laws
:3, The Legisku rre that legislates only
for thre "vo:er-" is unwrort.hy of the pstrtn-a
age of any people. It is to coum'idear the
whole p.oil, aind especrally the mrore help

hieartles.s as sorn.e of the papers -which diS- I
regards tie nomen arid ioutha of the laud t
is lower, baier, imeancr than (nhamrbcrlain's
Legislature ever was.
Finally, we expect to hrave our "miles
aod miles" of pentions respected, and if one
paper wil riot do it, anaothecr will ; aand if
one Legislature wil! rnt, anmothecr will. This
matter of prohaibitioni is too important to be
kicked asidle by a little illogical editorialI
now anad then that insilts thre fairest and
best portion of our citizens, even if they
are not allowed like the inern to abuse the 4
electivedrrauchise. The "vote" and the I
"people" hive ::!ready rurined this country, a
and there are willing advocates waiting to
do it agaim Sav,nIlon is not in the par y,
nor in po!iri es, but in hioinemry, an~d a due
re;:ard to rt- highest inte-res: of all. It. is
not in the "vote," but ira the will of tire
whole people. We want statesmen, niot
politicians, ina our Legislature.
The -h :aam.r is terribly afraid that prohri

thing to do with poites. But we give fair
