THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.
llow shall we make our CITY
3EAUTIFUL? 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

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the lien law will be repealed at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repealed.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are repealed, the lien law may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repealed.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

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.

Seven Tears ot Proof.
"I have had seven years of proof that
Dr. King's Mew Discovery is the best
midicine to ta*e for coughs and colds
and for every diseased condition of
throat, cheat or lungs," says W. V.
Henry, of Panama, Mo. The world
has had thirty-eight years of proof that
Dr. King's Mew Discovery is the best
remedy for coughs and colds, la grippe,
asthma, hay fever, bronchitis, hen*o
rrage of the lungs, and the early atages
of consumption. Its timeiy use al
ways prevents the development of
pneumonia. Sold under guarantee at
F. Leslie Zemp's, Camden Drug Com

Elections.
The Joint assembly held an
election last week for several
offices which resulted as follows:
Judge Eugene B. Gary, was
re elected without opposition to
be Associate Justice of the Su
preme Court; Miss L. H. La
Borde was re-elected State Lib- i
rarian. colonel Robert Aid rich

Mr. Hardin were elected trustees

thrope College and University of
South Carolina trustees were all
reelected.
Remarkable Rescue.
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. Leslie Zemp's,
Camden Drug Company and Zemp A
DxPass drug stores.
Dlsaatrotm Fire.
The town of Bennettsville suf
ferred an awful loss by fire on
the early morning of the 24th,
inst. 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.
