By spending money on it of course. How should the money neces sary lo make the CITY BEAU TIFUL be expended? By clos ing up tirst, the unsightly ditches on our main thoroughfares, and the minor ones later. The in ciosiutf with wood or irou fenc ing of our city paries, the-seed jiix of the same, togetner with ! he purchase and setting of such Ornamental trees and shrubs as, # 1 go to make the ideal park. With the*e will go the instulla Lion of fountains, aquariems and :t Z<>o, the last naturally in em bryo, but which takes its place in the picture of-how to make tiic CITY BEAUTIFUL. All this, and more can be ac complished at slight cost com pit red to the benefits that will be derived, and >*Ere time with us shall cease to be Our eyes forever closed in sleep, JO re Death's appror.c'.i to us we st?e, Eie nope deferred shall tnake us weep.," etc. we hope to see them very much ;iu evidence. IN RE, "THE LIEN LAW." From pre.seut appearances, the lien law will be repealed at this session of the legislature. There seems to be a general de sire that it be wiped out, in which desire, we heartily cou cur. Assuming then, that the law will soon be a thing of the past; that Judge Bra w ley's de eision on the coutract labor law will be upheld by the U. S. Su prorne Court, what is the only other thing that is necessary to be done to render the'repeal of the lien law effective as advanc ing the interests of the respon sible farmer? It is imperative that the homestead law be also repealed. This proposition, in the minds of all thinking people, )s correct. The repeal of the joue law carries with it the re peal of the other. Unless bot h are repealed, the lien law may just (ts well be continued and un repealed. As we have previ ously said, we do not think the repeal of the lieu law will be one tenth as productive of good now ,as it would had it been done fif teen years ago. Our labor is practically completely disorgan ized through tin* recklessness of the would be get rich quick peo ple, und it will take years and years to restore it to a formerly jiiormal condition. It will also .lake those who have been sup posed ly the beneficiaries of the -Jaw a decade to come down to straight and proper manner of .conducting business. This re luartr extends to both the lienor and the lienee. We may add jthat normal conditions will not be resumed until nearly all the existing laws affecting the pur chase and sale of articles of use on the farm are a thing of the past. The above is written in the interest of the whole pe?>ple, ysud not of any class. Tin: work or the lkgis LATUltK. Nothing of interest lias de veloped yet in the work of the Legislature. Numbers of bills have of courso been introduced, but with the exception of the Nash Prohibition Bill, we see Hol'nng that may materially it eel Kershaw county, As to iuvt bill we havo no comments to make at present. What we need, and whft* we have on vt? ve nl occasions advoca ted is a drastic prohibition law, jut! a bogus arrangement * lit** ,>.g,?H*d i.. ?>111.

NEEDED LEGISLATION. v Senator Latimer has latro duced a bill In the Senate pro vidlng fbr free mail delivery in tow na whose postoffice have a gross revenue oi not leas than $5,000. Another feature in the bill is one providing and reqnir* ing rural mail, carriers to de liver mail to patrons of the several town postoffices which do not earn $5,000 gross. These patrons will be required to set up boxes of the regular pattren iu order to enjoy the advantages of this provision. Tour lata In Camden. Camden, Jan. 25.?

That truth is stranger than fiction, has once more been demonstrated in in the little town of Fedora, '1 en n., the residence of C. V, Pepper. He writes: "1 was in bed, entirely dis abled with heinorrages of the lungs and throat. Doctors failed to help ine, and all hope had Add when 1 began taking Dr. Kiug's New Diecovery. Then relief came. The cauglnng eras ed; the bleeding diminished rapidly, and in three weeks I was able to go to work." Guaranteed for coughs and colds 60c and $1. at F.

The entire business block was destroyed as were a number of private residence It is conser vatively estimated that the loss will reach $150,000. There is na turally some insurance. This is the most tremendous loss that has been sufferred by any com munity in some years, and fur nishes a striking lesson to other municipalities to quickly place themselves under ample tire pro tection. It is safe to say that if Bennettsville had been thus pro tected, the Are would have been of small proportions. f"lf^ p p To women for collect f* fC r.r. names and selling * ?"our novelties, we give big premiums send your name to day for our new plan of big profits with litt'e work.
