THE LIEN LAW. -The lien law has at last been re pealed, and on the first day of Jan uary, 1885, it will disappear from the Statute books. To many persons this law has for years been extreme ly odious, and it has been discussed and re-dscussed by the General Assembly, at considerable cost to the State. The lien law has opened the avenue for a great deal of fraud and rascality among our people and we believe it has had a serious effect upon that question of morals which determines for a man whether he shall pay his debts. Those who have so industriously sought the repeal of the lien law, have obtained their wish, and the General Assembly will receive their commendation. For. ourselves, we are not prepared to say that the legislature acted wisely in repealing the law. It was. first enacted for the purpose of affording a basis of credit to poor farmers who other wise had no credit. But its oppo nents say that it has outlived the necessity that called for its enact ment, and that it has had a disas trous effect upon the farming in terests of the communities that availed themselves of its provisions. We regard the matter in this light: The law gave the poor far mer the opportunity to get advan ces, but it did not require or force him to give a lien. And no law can prevent full-grown men from running into debt. The most seri ous feature of the whole business is that the Supreme Court has decided that a man may mortgage his crop before it is in the ground. It is very likely that the man who would give a lien if the law allowed him to do so, will give a mortgage for the purpose of obtaining advances. The difference is in favor of the lien-it is much simpler and it ex ecutes itself at the end.of the year. The mortgage will not be as simple as the lienf in its remedies, but will be more expensive. Since- we wrote the above the S.enate has rejected the House bill repealing the Lien Law; so the law stands for future discussion. *THE MOUNTAIN LABORED. And a mouse is born. The po litical farce entitled Melton and Speer or set-em-.upagain-ne?t-term collapsed is the act of bringing up the case of McGill and Herron, of Fairfield on the 13th. Uncle Sams house supposed to be infested with rats has been ransacked by his henchmen and a poor little mouse only .has been discovered. Really this is the best play of the season, and no honest South Carolinian but is satisfied with the result. Exeunt Melton and Speer and may the d--l go with you. One of the biggest life Insurance cases on record is that of the exec utors of Col. Walton Dwight, of Norwich, N. Y., for the recovery of plicies amounting to $200,000 against several companies, number ing in all twenty. The Equitable paid its policy of $50,000 as did tLe Home Company, which is not - eluded in the amount named above. Senator Butler has introduced a bi1l in the United States 'Senate providing for the repeal of the inter nal revenue laws. If Senator But ker's bill should become a law, we would have cheap whiskey and to bacco, but the chances of reducing the present high tariff would not be favorable. Courage is a.noble trait. With some it requires greater courage to lIive thsn it does to die. When disease acks the frame, when sores cover person, when aches are in every joint, when the.muscles are soft and flabby, when the least exertion gives . fatigue; when the mind is filled with gloomn and Sespondency; what is ~thge in life worth living, and yet eke out just such a mnseraLle ce, living only for those who .When it is generally k6i That Brown's Iron Bitters will cure the above disorders how many hearts will be made glad !

Thoughts Captured as They Fly. As the late night trains pass anid I sit and watch by the bed-side of my little affectionate Tom, pr-ostra'ed from twenty-one days of typhoid dysenlter-y. which Dr. C10onoi says is the worst case he evcr staw-for diversion I will capture some of the many thoughts that speed through my mind. -Thomas' symprtoms are better but he is still hovering between life and -- Lucie has been quite sick for four or live days. I feared she would have a similar case, buit it is passing off and she is able to be up. We have a kind, attentive and able phlysician, and I' hope for the best. So.ne of my good iriends in Newherry-for I exult to know I have a host of them there-a -11 say- "You had no business going dlowni there." Dear Friends, I felt like it was a necessity. I was not succeeding flnancially- ini Newberry and but for, the privation of yoiu- soe&ety and the watching, wvaiting :und anxiety of the sic-k room I should be wvell satisfied here. I have had a good school (forty one scholars) I get a decent living, have a very comfortable house, and will clear sonie money if misfor-tunes do not come too thick and fast. Though unable to turn hlimself or even raise his head, "Little Tom's" mind has all the time kept clear as a bell, and he is very considerate lest I overdo myself in watching and nurs ing him. H e seem like lhe does not mean to die unless God has willed it. The Psalmist David said when the Prophet gave him his choice, "Let nie fall into the hands of God." I feel very much like I am in the hands of a goo~d and mereiful God, who does all things well, and believe me it's no mean feeling, Bob Ingersol and Tom Payne to the contrary. To feel that you are in the hands of Him "Whose hand the lightning forms, Who heaves old ocean and who wings the storm" of One who knows the end from the be ginning, andl who pities those who trust him, as a father pitieth his children, is an enviable feeling. Do not be uneasy about uis dear friends, we have all the assistance human aid can give. Mr. Draft-s. Capt. Lewie Griffith and others have hearts and purses large enough to keep us from wanting what human aid can give. I will wr-ite "Legends of the Rock" and "Reminiscenses of Moliohon" for you in series as soon as health and leisure will permit. I am yours. as [ am ever, J, G. M~. Pug dogs as pets have had their lay among the extremely fashiona le, but colds never go out of fash ion, so that it is always necessary o know that Dr. Bull's Cough syrup is a sure cure for all coughs md colds.

We took a run down to the active town of Prosperity Monday afternoon a week ago, and after a decidedly pleas ant rest-over of a night, and a scamper round next morning, took the 1.30 train back. We wanted to tell of it last week, but our inside was too full to put in the weeist mite-we don't al lude to the inside of the man, but tle "inside" of the HERALD. Prosperity is a wide-awake, business-moving place, and has on its public square ten or a dozen energetic business men who are barely able to supply the daily demands made upon them by the people of the towvn and the surrounding country, in Groceries,Dry Goods,Fiirniture,Drugs, andi we like to have omiittedl the essen tial and all-important item or items embraced in that multiform necessity Millinery. We would not forget the ladies and their interests for ever so much. These merchants are Mecssrs. Wheeler & Mosely, who rani both a general nmercantile trade, andl furni ture store. of huge pioportions, and who by reason of late advertising have drawn a considerable trade from New berry ; then there is Wise & Bro., who have only recently opened, and comn plainl already of doing a large and in creasing business; then, S. T. Barr, A. H. Kohn, R. L. Luther, J. Bobb, and Schumpert & Rikard, these keep well selected stocks of dry goods and gro ceries. In addition there is Mr. J. L. Counts in the furniture line, and Mr. S. L. Fellers, who deals in pills, and plasteers anid p;erifrs all the roll of a lever druggist. A live School,where the sensible fathers send their boys and girls to be educated, is presided over by Prof. J. C. Cork in an efficient and ac ceptable manner. The school would look thme better for a covering of paint, but this does not interf'ere with the amount of good (lone onl the inside. It is a "dry" town, and should a man want to wet his whistle, he might whistle all damy and still go dry. We were minded by two or three good friends, who never let a tiing rest, as long as it will do to talk aboait, of ouir visit last Summer to the pie-nic in that neighborhood, and the very un fortunate expression made by us in a HERALD notice, that the p)lace was situated just beyond the "bounds of civilization." If there be a man or woman who did not die of indignation caused by this poor, unoffending jotter of a pleasant pic-nic occasion, and who entertained only the highest esteem for the people whose chicken, mutton and sweet things he took in, to his or her we say, offence was not in oul- head or, in our heart, on was it ig time notice. Oh dear, we dislike to recall that mel ancholy mistake. Prosperity, the town, the country, Jofly street, Somkey Town, aud every part and parcel of it, is as dear to us as any part of New berry county. Please remember this friends. Well we enjoyed this present visit, as we have all others, and promise to go again, and see a peeple whose latch string is always on the outside of the door. Miss 1 Wilson, Mayesville, S. C., says: "I used Brown's Iron Bitters for general debility and have been much benefited." The Association of Survivors of the Palmetto Regiment met in Columbia last Thursday and ap pointed delegates to meet delega tions from other regiments in the Mexican war, in Washington city, on the 6th, 7th and eighth of Decem her next. Comnpany L., Newherry District, is to be represented by J. H. Wfliam and Adaut Feqgla Ho for Texas!! Capt. Westbrook and Messrs. Whate ley & whateley, Texas planters, who have been in our county about a week looking for laborers, leave Newberry for their home in Robertson Co., Tex., to-day. They will be accompanied by about 150 Newberry negroes, little and big. An innocent ancient darkey wants to know "what all dis means." Wholesale. Messrs- Cloud & Smith we learn sold a bill of shoes on Tuesday last to a country merchant, and consequently feel considerable elation. This was a wholesale transaction, and it proves that they have a stock sufficiently large to do this kind of business. They can afford to distribute christmas presents without stint. Success to this ener getic firm. Make Some One Happy. We remember away back, in the time of our childhood, the advent of Christmas ; what happiness followed our receiving a pocket knife. a ball, and some candy ; big things to us. Christmas has been coming ever since, and the little boys and girls of to-day are made as happy now as we and the boys of our day were then. We have a warm place in our heart for the dear children, and appreciate the delight which they will manifest on waking this christmas morning and finding well filled stockings. We can imagine hearing their gleeful shouts, see their smiles-how happy we are then, how happy every father and mother. We think too, of the fatherless and mother less little ones, whose stockings will be empty, unless filled by some kind hand. This thought induced the writ ing of this paragraph. It is in the power of every one of us to contribute something to snake some little one glad that christmas has come for him or her. Let us do it, dear friends. Look around, and hunt up some child, some hard working, bowed-down woman, and out of our store give them a christmas pres ent, that they may feel indeed that this is a merry christmas for them.
