JAN. 15,1908. “Truth is somethin’ like the ’Arnica a feller puts on a bum —it stings like blazes but goes straight to the spot.” p The lien law is very nearly the Anune as the “grub stake” arrange ment practiced among miners of the test. The man with money agrees to “grub stake” the money less prospector while he latter goes After gold. If the “grub staker” makes a strike and acts square, they .both realize a profit. If however, the "grub stake" fails, the man who l up the grub comes out behind, it is a perfectly fair arrangement. lien law differs from this, sojne- what in that the man who puts up ;the capital has an opportunity +* *Watcb the man who is to do the Vork.—Yorkvilk Enquirer.

It does not know their names 1*** ,nan J ^ have made, perhaps, even; it simply speaks of them as ***»»>y resolves to do good. And I “old So-sJ)d-So’s boys.” Nobody likes them; the great, busy world doesn’t know that they are there. So take off your coat and make a dust in the World.

Suber who is now engagfed irt teaching the Omega school. Miss Suber is doing * good Work at Omega, and deserved Commendation. We trust her letter will encourage other teachers to improve their schools in the way she has done. Omega may not yet be as perfect a school as Miss Suber wishes it to be but the educational facilities of that community have wonderfully im proved since the Editor of The Press ond Standard taught there twelve years ago at that time a small pole house was the “academy.” The wind had access through numerous cracks, and the furniture was con spicuous by its absence. The t^rm was short and the scholars many The house was crowded, and the teacher overworked. Finally some of the patrons complained because their children could not get home before dark. But, presto change! congratulations! Patrons hold up the hands of your teachers. She is doing more for your community and far less than any man in it. Down with the kicker and faultfinder! Let every one do his best for this center of intelligence in every community -- the school. Get the best teachers you can and then support them, morally and financially. THE LIEN LAW. J. M. Harden in Abbeville Press and Banner has the following to say in favor of the repeal of the Lien Law. Doubtless at the time of thesnact- ment of this law, conditions warrant- ed 84m legisatioa to meat the exigencies of the times and the poverty of our people. The lien law must have bean favorably consider ed by our law makers and by our merchants as a good remedy for existing evils, at the time of its enactment; and, it is a vary ihnpie process to criticise the wisdom of its frkmers at this date with the iniquity of its results evident to every care ful observer. I charge the following lamentable conditions to the lien law of South Carolina, 1st, It has impoverished the poor and fefiriched the rich, through the Usurious rates permissible under its provisions. Ibid. It has driven our young men and many old men Irom the country to cities and factories, be cause farming was not profitable, the prices charged for supplies furnished on a Hen, absorbing the balance after the rents were paid. 3rd. It has impoverished the “hon est” poor, by forcing them to make up, through the exorbitant price charged, the losses incurred by the improvident negroes and dishonest whites and blacks. 4th. It has done more to elevate the negro and depress the white of modereate means, than any other known cause, and it the main factor producing thj alarming illiteracy prevalent in our rural distrits, amongst the whites, because of its poverty producing provisions. 5th. It has been and is still, the mightiest influence in inspiring and fostering hopes of “social quality” amongst our negroes because, through its provisions, having obtain ed a “lien,” a negro “lienor” be comes a desirable customer and is shown much attention, borderin'* at times, on obsequiousness, by those with whom he trades, especially if sincerely hope that the teachers of thif county have made a resolve to aid the Colleton Teacher’s Association all they can. We shall be glad to have all teachers ioin the Association. Still, if you do not desire to join us we shall be glad for you to meet with us on Saturday at 12 o’clock before the second Sunday of each month, ex cepting July and August Though We extend a special invitation to etch and every teacher we do not object to trustees and patrons meeting with ns. In (act, we are glad to have all who are interested in the cause of public school advancement meet with ns. Teachers, we need you in our as eociatiou. Will you aot join? Surely you want to do all you can ibr your school. No matter what grade your certificate may be or what diploma you may bold you bare a place in this eseoeiatiou which you may fill creditably, and we are anxious for yw ty fiU that jriaof. Yea need our kid, pertspO, II well U wo need yours Now, some of you may laugb at the idea of ns aiding each other when onr respect ye schools are separated ly great distance!. But if you do not bother youraelves in forming precon ception ae to bow this can be, come some second Saturday and see. Remember we hold our meeting in the Academy at Walterboro at 12M on Saturday before the second Sun day in each month, excepting July j and August, Yours for Conception. (J. J. D. Caldwell Pres, of Colleton Tr Asso. Lodge. 8. C. Jan. 18. 1908 ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN. The following by Bob Burdette it so good that we desire to give our readers the benefit of it, especially our young men readers. Alas! How many young men we all know who are of no more use to the world than a “bump on a log”—Not only of no use but a positive menace to society.

I charge lastly, that our lands have become (and are yet becoming more so) worn out and unprofitable, because under the lien law no lienor will improve lands which he may cultivate for the year only, seeing that most of them are negroee and frequently change^ their homes after only a year’a occupancy. To substantiate the charges I have made in the order they are recorded, I invite replies from mer chants who do what is known as a "lien trade,” as to the difference be tween "cash” prices and "time” prices, the latter applying to their “Hen trade.’f The difference, ac cording to information volunteered by sundry parties during my resi dence in this place, will average 50 per cent; and as Hens are many of them paid within six monhta after the goods are delivered, the average profit above the cash price will be By Rydale’s business or occupation can stand such a drain; and there is abund ant evidence Of the ruin thus wrought by the Hen law, in the num ber of white citizens who, starting with landed estates, have been de spoiled of them under the fore closure of mortgM«a. incurred to satisfy rapacious creditors, whose claims have been legalized, unde? the vicious provisions for usury, tolerated and endured under the lien law.
