There is little doubt the legislaturel
at the session which opens today will
repeal the lien law. There seems to b
a pretty general demand for its re
peal among the .farmers of this see
tion of the state. Whether a repeal'
of this law will help conditions o
not we do not know but we had just
as well try it.
The legislature meets today. There
are many important matters to com
up for consideration. It is very
probable that much time will be con
sumed discussing the whiskey ques
tion. The demand for prohibition
seems to be growing. We believe that
if left to a vote of the people of t:he
entire state that a majority would be
very decided in favor of state pro
hibition.
The Anderson Daily Mail printed
last week an interesting story of the
growth of the electric city during the
past year. Anderson is no doubt the
best town in this state, and while th
Mail is a good newspaper, it would
be more interesting if it talked An
derson more and Latimer less.-Bam
bery Herald.
You certainly have n6t been read
ing the Daily Mail. One day not long
ago it printed at twenty-six editor
ials on the city of Anderson. Surely
there could be no complaint with that
much space devoted to the city of
Anderson.
The Mail is a good newspaped and
loses no opportunity to boast Ander
son.
The follo4ing was received by a
gentleman in Neiberry from a citiz
en of this county, who evidently has I
been watching the progress of our 1
streets:
"Hope you are enjoying good
health and will live to see all the
streets of Newberry paved as advo
eated by The Herald and News.
Should you be so fortunate you will
prab'bly be the oldest man that
walked the stree'ts of the city."
We hope our friend is mistaken in
his prediction as to street improve-j
ment in Newvberry. The citizen who
received the letter is a younger man,
in y-ears at least, than the editor of
The Herald and News and thereditor
has hoped that he will live to see and
enjoy paved streeis and sidewalks in1
the city.
We conifidently expect th~e present
administration to begin permanent1
work of this kind as soon as weather
conditions permit and if we can once
get even a small section of our.
streets paved the demand will' be so
great for its extension that even the
oldest inhabitant will have the op
portunity of living to enjoy some of
this work.

MYSTBRIOUS STORY ABOUT A
HOLE IN THE GEOUN4D.I
South Carolina Banker and Columbia
Policeman Figure in Transaction
S-Remains a Mystery.
'The State.
A decidedly unusual transaction, in
which a bank president and a member
.of the Columbia police department
:are concerned, reached a climax in
the city of Columbia on Monday nig'it
,of this week, and the stories told of
th proceedings 'leading up to this
transaction serve to make the matter
all tihe more myst'erious. A four room
dwelling on the northeast corner of
\ Huger and Senate streets was the
scene; hour not known, but, from
best re1ports obtainalble, between 8
o 'elock Monday night and "an early
hour" Tuesday morning.
The facts *as obtained yesterday
from various parties are as follows:
About six or seven weeks ago two
gentleman called at the home of Mar
tha Holmes, colored, at 1428 Lincoln
street and stated that they wished to
re.it the dwelling house at No. 1100
Huger street, which the Holmes wo
man owns. She says they gave their
names as "Fuller" and "Blackwell,"
the former stating that he lived in
the e,ity and that the latter was from
North Caroliba. She roli them that
she had a good renter in the house
already, a man who had been there
for 12 years, and did not care to make
.a change.
She says they insisted that she give
;a price on the rent of the house. This
she refused to do without first con
sulting her husband, who is editor of
- eL n wn colored newspaper ii
O'liel)rlltand ( a not if 1line ai

l1C'I1 -l l1N Ii 1(If1 iI andl :=le stiate
Iat "Blackwell'' s:aid: "I va:'1 it
or" splecial business."
Persistent Efforts to Get House.
She says they left, after she refus
ed to rent it to thlem. but that a few
lays laer the first named of the tn.k)
nen called again and insisted that
;he quote a price for the rent of the
iouse. that they were willing to pay
ier more than she was at that time
;etting for it. She again informed
'Mr. Fuller" that she did not care
o make any change in her renters as
he man she had in the house had
seen there a long time and was good
>ay and she preferred to let him re
nain rather than rent the house to
;ome one else even if she got more
noney. She says this man stated
hat they were willing to pay a high
r price than she was getting and
vould ,lease the property for 12
nonths.
She says she asked him where
'Mr.- Blackwell" was from and
,hat he expected to do with the
iouse. "Mr. Fuller" informed her,
he states, that his friend was from
Tort-h Carolina and was coming to
solumbia to work for the boat com
)any. Being unable to get her to agree
o rent the property, she says the
nan asked her for what she would
rell it, and on this she stated that she
vould have to consult her husband.
She says that he called aagin and
he told him that she would take $3,
)00 for the -property. He didn't ap
year to wish to pay -that figure and
train asked her what she would rent
.t for, saying that she would find
'Blackwell" a good .renter and
)rompt pay, etc. Aocording to her,
;he finally agreed to let them have
;he house for $25 per month, al
ihough she had been getting .but $8
>er month for it. Notwithstanding
,his appalrently exoi4bitant figure,
:he gentleman took her up at the
Droposition. She wanted a lease
signed u1p for 12 months, with the
>rovision that the money be payable
nonthly in advance. This was agree
ible and she was asked to be pre
ared to turn the house over as early
is possible.
The lease was fixed up and she no
~ified Mr. William Wessinger, who
ad been occupying the house for 12
ears, to vacate the property.
On Monday morning of this weeb
'Mr. Fuller'' called at Martha Hol
nes' house on Lincoln street, paid
:he -first month 's rent in advance and
received three of the keys of the
iouse, promising to call the following
norning for the fourth key.
Strange Doings.
