THAT LIEN LAW.
T'he legislature will be memor
ialized to repeal the lien law and
it will also be urged to create
legislation which will put "deal
jlZs in cotton futures" out of
business. With regard to the
repeal of the lien law, there is
such a diversity of opinion that
we are vet to see where any
good will be accomplished by its
repeal, unless the legislature can
also make mortgages on growing
crops invalid. In our opinion,
as long as a man can give a
mortgage of his crop after it
has made its appearance on the
soil, and this we are told the leg
islature cannot prohibit, we do
not see what good it will do to
make invalid a mortgage given
before the crop is planted. We
can see how it might work a
hardship upon the tenant class
to secure supplies before the
crop is planted, by making it
difficult for a large portion of
that class to secure the neces
saries of life, and hampering
this class by making it difficult
to secure advances, will it not
have a tendency to drive them
from the farms and into the cot
ton mils, saw -mills, and turpen
tine fields?
Those clamoring for the repeal
of the 1ien law have an idea it
will improve our labor condi
tion&; we zre afraid it will not
have this :ffect, but on the con
trary, if those who cannot obtain
credit on open account, and have
no real or personal property to
give as collateral, finding them
selves without.the means to con
tinne farming on their own ac
count, will give up the farms
and seek other means of liveli
hood. Should this be the result
of repealing the lien law it will
moake.our land owners land-bur
dened; their lands will not be
rented, and eventually they will
.fall off in value.- It is a recog
nized business principle that
property values must be based
upon an earning capacity, it is
so in all kinds of enterprises, a
lumber plant that is earning
nothing, is valueless, a store or
a bank that does not put some
thing on its profit page is a dead
institution, and just so is it with
a farm. If the landowners' lands
are deserted, there is no income
and its value is destroyed. We
think this matter of repealing a
law which affords a means to aid
people in conducting their busi
ness should be very carefully
considered before final action
is taken. It is a popular thing
for politicians to advocate the
repeal of the lien law, and that
is perhaps why we hear such a
demand for it, but pandering to
public sentiment mnanufactured
for the unthinking and accepted
by them, is not soundistatesman
ship.
There are other things more
detrimental to our farming in
terests than the lien law, -but
these are not mentioned because
they might effect those who
practice them, and operate poli
tically against the one who calls
attention to them. We refer to
the present system of labor con
tract abuse, the system of entic
-ing tenants from one plantation
to another, the cloaking of dis
honesty on the part of the ras
cally inclined, and many other
practices which is doing untold
harm to the country generally,
and making honest men suffer.
In this article we throw out
what comes to our mind with re
gard to the demands upon the
general assembly, but we are
free to say, should a bill be pre
sented in the legislature repeal
ing the lien law, and we are
shown that its effect will not be
disappointing and injurious in
the end, we will support it, but
we must be convinced first,
otherwise we will not have our
self recorded as acceding to a
demand because it is popular.
The government has been
called upon to issue a fraud order
against the New York cotton ex
change, and if the effort suc
ceeds the exchange will be ex
cluded from the mails just the
same as any other concern that
uses the mails to defraud the
public.
Mr. Ulyses B. Hammet. the
present chief of the dispensary
force, has tendered his resigna
tion, in order that Governor
Ansel may be free to appoint a
new head of that department,
and since this resignation was
made. Mr. Hammet has been
tendered the position of
Deputy United States Revenue
Collector, by Major Micah
Jenkins, with headquarters in
Sumter. Mr. Hammet is a former
Clarendon man, and lhe has a
number of relatives living in the
county. He made an efficient
officer while in charge of the dis
pensary, and this no doubt can
be attributed to the offer in the
reserve ervie, which pays a
Because of being refused the
loan of five thousand dollars at a
bank in Philadelphia last Satur
day, the seeker of wealth gave a
"blow-out" by hurling a dyna
mite bomb into the bank, kiliing
himself, the cashier and wound
ing several others, besides al
most wrecking the interior of
the institution. Perhaps when
the bomb-thrower and bank offi
cials meet in the next world they
can compromise their differences.
The sub-treasury proposed for
the South is bringing about
much rivalry among the delega
tions, and our South Carolina
representatives are awake to the
importance of the project. We
should be pleased to see it estab
lished in Charleston, for that
city has without doubt the larg
est banking interests, but if
Charleston cannot get it. we
hope the delegation will not get
divided and all work to have it
brought into the State without
regard to the location.
Since the above was written,
Birmingham, Ala., has secured
the sub-treasury.
There will be a bill iutroduced
in the coming session of the
legislature requiring the ap
pointment of a board composed
of experienced telegraph opera
tors, to examine applicants for
positions in railroad telegraph
offices. The purpose of this bill
is to promote the safety of the
travelling public on railroad
trains in this State. We have
scanned this bill, and in our
opinion, there should be some
thing of the kind required. The
many accidents on the railroad
is due, we believe, to incompe
tent service on the part of those
who are employed to dispatch
trains. Nearly every day .there
are collisions resulting in loss of
life, and it does seem to us that
the law should require more pro
tection for those who travel,
and also for delays in freight.
The lack of interest manifest
ed by the farmers in the cotton
growers' association is to be de
plored. The undertaking was a
huge one, the largest and great
est ever attempted for the peo
ple of the South, and notwith
standing the opposition from all
sides including the government,
it has accomplished a wonderful
amount of good to the cotton
growing States. We do not
think it can successfully be
controverted. that the associa
tion brought to the Southern
States millions of dollars that
would not have come here, and
because it has not made every
individual farmer rich in one
season interest has cooled. The
fight must he kept up, the man
ufacturing world realizes that
cotton is marketed for less than
its value, and if the growers of
the staple will stand by the asso
ciation time will prove every
thing claimed by those who are
faithfully clinging. The State
convention heard from President
Smith ar- address that every
farmer, banker and merchant
should read, it is a message of
hope, an inspiration to press for
ward. He speaks as one who
knows, and not one who theo
rises.

Duck hunting down the San

festivities. Mr. J. D. Rutledge,
Iwith his brother, Dr. Rutledge,
of Florence, and other friends
are now upon the bosom of the
river. Other parties are making
up trips and there are going to
be some duck fits if nothing of a
more serious nature in those
regions.
A trip through the country to
day showed us a good deal of
plowing has been done. To be
able to say that you have begun
to plow usually goes a long way
in getting a lien started. By the
way, if the liens of one sort are
not as plentiful as usual, there
will be an unusual number of
leans of another kind later on.
Rev. T. P. Burgess, who has
been with his relatives for sev
eral days, returns today to his
home in Edgefield. Mr. Burgess
enjoys the distinction of being
the only Presbyterian minister
in Edgefield county.
Mr. W. L. Brunson, Jr., is
moving out to his father's farm
near town, and will conduct a
large farm. He will have to get
up soon in the morning if he pro
lived out there. Much luck to
him and his young wife.
Mr. J. D. Gerald takes charge
of his fine farm at St. Paul's
Church this week. This is one of
the nicest places in the com
munity, having been brought
up to a high state of cultivation
by its former owner, Mr. J. W.
Broadway. Mrs. Gerald is a
daughter of our fellow citizen.

vacation which they spent in the
greatest South Atlantic port.
Many a prayer of thanks went
up as he touched his native soil
once more. Mr. Smyth is the
president of our bank.
Mr. J. W. Broadway will su
perintend Rev. R. A. Sublett's
farm this year. Rev. Mr. Sub
lett will, we understand, devote
all of his time to the ministry.
Capt. J. A. James spent sev
eral days in town this week,
looking after some matters of
private business. The genial
Captain looks well, but said that
he was snifering from too much
dry feed during the Holidays.
The first number of the Ly
ceum course will be presented
this month. This will be by the
Art Recital Company, composed
of onec gentleman and two ladies.
The particular date will be an

run through four numbers and
promises to be of great pleasure
and profit Mr. H. A. C. Walk
er, superintendent of the graded
school, deserves great credit for
getting this series of attractions.
A crowded house witnessed
the production of the Cantata
last Friday night. The Choral
Club entertained won golden
opinions fortheirsuperbrendition
of this fine piece of musie, and a
delighted audience voiced its
oleasure by repeated bursts of
ipplause. The whole was en
actad without a flaw, the choruses
we 3 full and made up of splen
did voices well supported by
the solos which were of a high
order of merit. Mrs. J. R.
Dingle as Esther, Mrs. R. R.
Briggs as Mordecai's '.ister, and
Mrs. Rutledge as Zeiesh, were
all fine. So were the parts of
Ahauseurus as Mr. Walker, Mor

the Herald by Mr. Covington.
It will probably be given again
at some future date, when it will
be costumed and played in reg
ular Cantata style. Among the
audience Friday night we noted
a good many from Manning and
other adjacent points.
The work has commenced on

have an edifice of which we can
be justly proud, and we wish the

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with a body full of blood
cannot do its duty to every part be.
cause of its impurity; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy we know of so good as that old fam
ily remedy, Brandreth's Pills. Each
pill contains one grain of the solid ex
tract of sarsaparilla blended with two
rains of a combination of pure and
ild vegetable products, making it a
blood purifier unexclled in character.
One or two taken every night for- a
while will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century and are sold in ever y

or sugar-coated.

The Rain in the woos.
The lamentable effects of the gener
al destruction of forests are now suf
ficiently recognized in all civilized
countries. Such dcstruction invites
devastating floods in mountain streams
and causes the surrounding land to
dry up. Forests act like vast m.
densing screens. They preserve a
Ioist atmosphere about them, atten
nate the force of torrential downfalls,
promote a more gradual melting of the
snow in early spring and protect the
soil igainst too rapid evaporation.
Anil yOIL thec t-ainner in which forests
act ti i beeticent part is not exactly
such a might be supposed. They pre
vent a large part of the rain that falls
frklm reaching the soil at all. It is es
tinm ii that in European climates the
forests evaporate directly or transpire
physiologically four-fifths of the rain
that falls upon them. Thus the forest
atmosphere is no less important than
the forest soil in equalizing the cli
matic conditions of a country.-Youth's

Tale of a Coat.
The clawhammer, or evening coat,
has many oddities of cut. These oddi
ties were once essentials. There was,
In fact, a time when every idiosyn
crasy of the clawhammer served some
useful purpose. The cutaw.y front of
the coat, for instance, was originally
cut away so that the wearer when on
horseback would not be incommoded.
The two buttons at the back were for
fastening up the tails out of harm's
way, each tail having in the past a
bittonhole at its end. The sleeves,
with their false cuffs, are relics of the
days when sleeves were always turned
back and therefore were always made
with cuffs that unbuttoned. The col
lar, with Its wide notches, is a sur
vival of the old collar that was notch
ed in order that Its wearer could turn
it up conveniently in cold or stormy
weather. The dress coat, in a word, is
a patchwork of relics-relies once es
sential, but now of no use on earth.

Webster's Fine Talk to a Fish.
I had a chat once with old John At
taquin, then a patriarch among the
few survivors of the Mashpee Indians.
He had often been Mr. Webster's
guide and companion on his fishing
trips and remembered clearly many of
their happenings. It was with a glow
of love and admiration amounting to
worship that he related how this great
fisherman, after landing a large trout
on the bank of the stream, "talked
mighty strong and fine to that fish and
told him what a mistake he had made
and what a fool he was to take that
fly and that he would have been all
right if he had left it alone."
Who can doubt that patient search
would disclose somewhere In Mr. Web
sters speeches and writings the elabo
ration, with high intent, of that
"mighty strong and fine" talk address
ed to the fish at Mashpee?.-a"Fishing
and Shooting Sketches," by Grover
Cleveland.
A Literary Tragedy.
When Carlyle had finished the first
volume of his great work on the French
revolution he lent the manuscript to
hi3s friend John Stuart Mill. One even
ing soon afterward Mill entered Car
lyle's door, pale as Hector's ghost, with
the dismal information, gasped out In
almost inarticulate words, that with
the exception of about four or five
sheets the manuscript was completely
annihilated. Mil1l had left it too care
lessly lying about, and a servant, think
ing it so much waste paper, had burned
it. Five months of steadfast, occasion
ally excessive and painful toil utterly
lost! For three weeks Carlyle could
do nothing but read Marryat's novels.
Then one night, sitting talking to his
cook, he decided it should be written
again and eventually finished "such a
task as I never tried before or since."~
