According to the official roll of the Nor.
mal Institute now in eession in Greenville,
Pickens only has three teachers in attend
ance. This is to be regretted. There should
not be less than twenty-five from this County,
and it would be better if the number was
fifty.
In the municipal election in Greenville on
last Saturday, to fill the vacancy in the board
of Aldermen, occasioned by the refusal of
Mr. Rowland to qualify, Mr. Rowland was
re-elected, beating Col. Hoyt several votes.
Tbe question was wet and dry. Mr. Row
land represented the wet side.
The President had a relapse last week and
for several days almost all hope of his recov,
cry was lost. But he has rallied and the last
accounts from him are to the effect that lie is
gradually improving and there is still hopes
of his recovery. If he had received the kind
of treatment usually given to ordinary men
for such wounds, he would, in all probability,
now be on the high road to reco very; but the
scientific treatment bestowed upon him be
cause of his distinguished position, has come
very nearly putting him in his grave, and
may yet do so.
Since the above was put in type, the news
fruun the President isdisceuraging. lie has
relapsed again, and his death may be expect
ed at any time. He has something like lock
jaw, and can not speak above a whisper. lie
has also a hacking cough, like a person in
the last stages of consumption, and complains
of the phlegm choking him. Nine-tenths of
the people in Washington think lie will die.
Erratum.
In speaking of tho bolt in the municipal
election in Greenville last week, the types
made us say. "Those white Democrats w ho
voted the regularly nominated ticket, and as
sisted the negroes to elect the two Independ
ent Aldermen should be read out of the
party." The word voted shoulId have been
bolted.
The Lien Law.
Many of our contemporaries are discussing
the propriety of repealing the lien law. Some
of them who favor keeping the law on our
statute books say they do so because they
think It to the interest of the poor man and
the Democratic party to retain it. This is all
"bosh." We think we can very clearly dem,.
onstrate that it will be to the interes'. of both
to repeal the law, but as the weather is ex,
tremely hot just now, and there is danger of
some of them taking brain fever over thme sub
jeot, we will withhold furtheor remarks until
the temperature is several degrees cooler.
Murdered by Indians.
On the 15th inetant, a band of Apache In
dians swooped down a small village, in New
Mexico, on the Atlaratic and Paciffo Railroad,
and murdered twenty-seven out of the twen
ty-nine inhabitants. The track of the In
dians on their outward march through the
wilderness is constantly marked by murder
and bloodshed, and the justly indignat citi
zeps of that section of the country demand
that the Government put a large force of
troops in the field immediately and wipe en
tirely out of existence the savages who are
committing sueh terrible slaughter and
atrocities among the whites and Mexicans.
The Abbeville Press and Banner of week
before last says of the Atlantic and French
Biroad Valley Railroad: "The work of grad,
ing this road from Trickem has been commen
ced in earnest: Last Saturday night one mile
of the road from the junction with the Green.
wood and Augusta Railroad had been finish
ed. A large force can easily be hired during
the slack time In the farms. The days are
long, the weather is good, and the money is
in hand, and we see no reason why the work
should not be pushed as rapidly as possible.
Capt. Kirk thinks the road wilibe graded to
Long Cane, three and a half miles, within the
present agontht. Crossing that stream there
is very Httle Nork to do anywhere, until Ab
beville Court House Is reached. In some pla
oos the digging up of stumps will be the big
gest job. Fromt two hundred to three hun
dred dollars a mile will bring it to Mrs. Nor
wood's assideaee some' two ntiles and a half
from town The dref mile of grading cost about
two hpndred and-Afty dollars.

If the lien law were repealed the males and
hores of this county would die for the vwant
of-feed.- ALbeville Press and Banner.
If the farmers of Abbeville have to depend
upon the lien law for corn to keep their stouk
alive, at 60. and 100 per cent. abo#e cash pri
ces, they had better sell out to people who
understand farming. The idea of the farmers
in such a county as Abbeville, where there is
so much good corn, wheat and oats land,
having to depend upon the lien law for
forage to keep their mules and horses
alive is simply preposterous. Such a sys
tem of farming- will ruin any people, and
if things are as bad in Abbeville as pictured
by the Press and Banner, it is a wonder to
us that any of her citizens are able to keep
soul and body together. They had better
move up to Pickens where a man can live by
farming.
Bacchus Allen, a colored man near Abbe~
ville village. without mule or ox, rented eight
acres of land, which he planted in cotton.
Upon this crop he got a $12 lien. Some of
the best farmers in the neighborhood now es
timate his crop at three bolls to the aore.
These are facts. We learn that a farmer in
this county planted one hundred:acres of his
own land in cotton, under which he put six
tons of guano, for which he paid $240 cash.
About $1,000 of his own money has been ex
pended in the cultivation of the land. He
now proposes to pick, gin and deliver his
rwhole crop for seven bales. The difference
between the country farmer and Bacchus is:
Bacchus made $12, less tweuty-four bolls,
while the farmer lost $1,000, less seven bales
cotton, plus $240 paid for guano. Thse1
facts go to ohow what a great blessing the lien
law is to the poor men, who may so easily
procure his rations before he does any work
at all, while the industrious, hard working
farmer has to sustain his own losses.-Abbe
ville Press and Banner.
If the Press and Banner was not a strong
advocate of retaining the lien law upon our
statute books, we would believe it speaking
ironically in the above. It makes no differ
ence, according to the Press and Banner, if
the merchant loses the $12 advanced in pro
vision, since Bacchus got the benefit of it all.
Wo would advise the white man who will loose
his $1,000 dollars to lay his money aside
next time and try the blessings of the lien
law.

The Condition of Cotton.
WASIHINOoN, August 1.-The following
report was issued to day by the departmenit
of agriculture: Cot ton returns to this depart
ment of August 1st show a decrease in ihe
condition of cotton since the returns of July.
The average condition was 88 on the 1st of
this month ngainst 95 on July 1st. As com,
pared with last year the condition is repor ted
14 per cent. less than at same date then The
following are the reports by States, namely:
Thirty-nine counties in North Carolina aver
age 89, fourteen counties in South Carolina
average 81, sixty-three countiles in Georgia
average 92, fifteen counties in Florida average
100. twenty~oight counties in Alab~amia aver
age 95, twenty sesen counties in Misswissippi
average 89, seventeen couint ies in Louisina
average 87. fifty five counties in Texas aver
79, twenty six in Arkansas average 85, anid
twenty one counties in Tennessee average 98.
Drought is universally complained of, anrd
is the cause of the decline, particularly in
South Carolina and Texas. The plant. is gen,
erally reported small, and there is much shied
ding of boils. lInsect injnries arc not report
ed to~any great extent.
Liberty Items.
Ma. EDITOn: Since the romnoval of'
"Lot 11cr Roll" from Liberty, we
have boon comparatively left b~y the
S1ENTINEL, and although the "dry
drought" has a very dcprocssinig influ
once, we h~avO managed, up to date to
keep tolerably jolly.
A fow of our boys and young ladios
are rusticating this weok in the molun,

rest for a week from all tho incum,
brances of'a city life.
Mt. E R. horton has rosigned tho
agency of the R. and D). Railr-oad here,
and Mr. Thos. HI. Boggs has boon in
stalled as his successor.
The negroes are beginning already
to prepare for' the cam pmeoting. This
is their annual holiday in this com,~
munity, and more prepared for and
more anxiously awai ted than Xmnas.
E. R. Horton, Esq., has doubled his
spaceo by building another house, and
oxpeccts to do an equally increased
business this fall.
All of our merchants are buying
largely. Mr. II. G. Andeorson spen t
part of last week at his old home in
Anderson.
Liberty has been very gay for past
three weeks. Miss Hattie Goldsmith,
of' Greenville, has been spending some
weeks with Miss Lidio Stansoll. She
is very popular with oar young men,
and we hopo she will come this way
again.
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Smith have had
with them two charming ladies from
Spartanburg, Misos Smith and Mor.
Park insi, Horton & Griffin are erect
ing a new steam ootton gin near here.
Messrs. Smith & Horton are also got,

Liberty with lncreased faceilities to be
as good a cotton market this fall as

WAsHINGTON, August, 19,1881.
While the dulness of mid-.summei
has lately pervadAd the National Cap.
ital there has been rather mot-o to oc.
oupy attention than usual at this sea
son. The anxiety over the condition
of the President has overshadowed
everything'elso for six weeks, and
though Government businees has not
been at a standstill, it has, nevorthelese
been considerably lost sight of except
to those directly Interested. But
with all their watching and the ab.
scnce of customary consultations, the
Cabinet officers have time to attend
to their duties, as well as to take a
few breathing spolls between bulletinE
and the current business has not faller
behind. In the Post Office Depart
ment there is about as much aotivit3
as over and the proceedings in roomi
59 are said to be as mysterious if no
as interesting as ever. The prepara
tion of the star route cases to be pre,
sented to the grand jury next monbh
will be very elaborate. Thei*. easce
promise to furnish a series of Statt
ktrials more important and i*erosting
than anything of the kind since th<
arraignment of Bolknap for sollinj
post tradeships.
Some of the accused profess to be
liove that thero will be no trials, an
their organs here aro very spiteful
but it is difficult to see upon what
ground they base any such expection
There will bo trials and there wil bi
strong evidence produced. Evory
unbiased man, woman and child wil
be convinced that there i3 undoubted
ly guilt; yet thero may be no convic
tion. Ex-Senator Dorsey appeart
to have vanished from public view.
At least he shows a desire to do s(
and has gone off down into Now Mox
ico or somewhero in that direction.
Poor Dorsey! What a fall was there:
Is it not a warning? From being fo

well, told me when the exposur*e

And it has just, occurred to us thal
the Government has no hen policy
ft simply ignores the existence of hemit
and turns a (deaf car to their wi'd wvai

of their victims. W hile we have ar
Agricultural Burean where much
brain and money has been oxpendec
upon expeimennt in raising boiled po.
tatoos and growing gianulatod sugar,
why should we not have a lien De
partmenit that would give attontior
to producing a breed of hens capabh
of laying soft, boiled or scrambled eggs
We have, too, and Indian polic)
which is the pride of our civiltization
In the winter the Indians, like th<
hens, must remain in their wigwamt
and be ted. The Indian Bureau foedi
them and keeps them warm, and ir
the spring when, like the hen, thej
go forth upon the war path to pr'ey
upon the settler and destroy his sub
stance, they are furnished with guns
and mildly invited to come back next
winter arnd get some more rations.
This lack of a hen policy is unques,
tionably due to a want of porceptior
on the part of the Government of ontc
the finest opportunities ever offered
to enterprising politicians, if we
