PASSED THE HOUSE. The Repeal of the Lien Law Now Almost Certain. Strong Argument? Made on lloth Sidos.-Believed That tho Hill Will Pass tho Sonnto. An overwhelming volo in tho house passod Mr. Richards* bill for tho re peal of tho lion law to a third read ing Friday morning. The hill passed was very short, being as follows: "Section 1. That section 3059, voluino 1, codo of laws, South Caro lina, 1D02, relating to lions for ad vances, bo, and tho samo is hereby, repealed. Soc. 2. That all acts or parts of acta inconsistent with this act be, and tho sair.o aro hereby, repealed. "Provided, This act uhall take ef fect on the first day of January, A. 1). 1909." When special order bills were reached Mr. Richards at once called for tho lien law measure. Mr. Ruck or, who had tho floor tho day before when tho proceedings were Intorupt ed by (len. Loo's speech, was rcog nlzcd. Mr. Hacker slated at the outset that he was In a hopeless min ority, but he thought tho gonernl as sembly was making a mistake in passing tho Richards bill. However, if tho arguments made by tho major ity were correct ho wanted tho re peal to KO Into effect at once, and asked Mr. Richards if he wore will iup; for this. Mr. Richards said that ho was not, Mr. bl. K. Vernor, ono of the most earnest advocates for tho repeal of tho law, talked at length in favor of tho pasage of tho bill. Ile was fol- ? fowed by Mr. Harrison of Greenville, ? who argued against tho repeal of tho, law. Mr. J. P. nibson stated that ho had called a mass mooting o? farmers in his ocunty, Marlboro, to discuss tho | matter, bul afterwards this meeting was called off. With present labor conditions and tli?? fact that there aro now In tho Heids of his county 500 bales of unpicked colton ho thought tho repeal of the law un wise. Mr. Garr?s also made a vigorous light against tho repeal of tho law, citing labor conditions and tho need for encouraging the small farmers. Representatives Brantley, Wycho and Ai G. Brice . ll speke in favor of the ed attention to tho flghl year after year, tho agitation by tho farmers and urged his argument that tho re peal of tho law would not he a hard ship on tho tottan I farmer, as was claimed by tho opposition. In an swer to Mr. Ruckor ho would say that, tho reason he did not wish the rc-| peal to go into effect at once was bo cause lt would work a hardship on those holding liens. He therefore wanted to give tho landlords or farm : owners timo to preparo for the change. Ho believed that tho re peal might temporarily effect some or tho tenants and some of tho land owners, but in tho long run lt would provo a blessing and would take out of tho grasp of tho merchant-farmer, who charged anywhere from 25 to 100 per cent, for supplies, tho poor man who worked p small portion of tho farm.

Tito general impression in Wash ington is that Senator Knox will be the man upon whom till the anti Roosevelt interests will combine, and that when the ultimate show down in the convention comos Knox and Taft will be I he loading candidates, It is probable that the rase will he ;i close one between them on tne final ballot and it is possible that if some other candidate ?ike Fairbanks, or La Follette, sticks to the last that there will be a deadlock. The con trol of tho National Committee by the anti-Roosevelt faction, with its power to decide which of the con testing delegations shall bc placed upon the roll of delegates may turn thc scale against Mr. Roosevelt and his candidate. All the power and money of tho corporations and the tariff protected intererts will be used to prevent President Roosevelt from rounding up thc Southern deletratc-s into tho present condition in the Republican camp, but with "practical" politic ians involved with both factions, there may be lightening changes in tho program when found neeessarry to achieve their ends. Whichever faction succeeds and whoever is nominated hy the Re publicans, will leave gaping wounds that will be hard to heal before election time, especially in Ohio and New York. Thoa the chances of the Democrats aro apparently im proved, but so much depends upon whether tho party can unite upon a candidate, who will not drive away neccessary votes to win in tho doubtful states, makes it impossi ble to look forward to the result of the election until, at least the nom inations of both parties have boen made. They F.vado the Law. From the first of .Inly to thc first i)f January 18,787 whiskey prescrip tions were filled by the drug stores ;>f Charlotte, and yet some people ^ay they have prohibition over there. Putting thc average charge of the doctors for writing prescriptions at ten cents each, this will show that tho abolition of the barrooms ha. added to their income during a pe riod of less than six months just $7. >28r80, or a yearly average of $1?>, 937.60. Placing the amount purchased on each prescription at eighty cents, this will show that the drug stores have done a weekly business in the same length of time of $15,037.(50 or an annual trade of $30, o75.20. Com bining these amounts paid to tho iloctors and the drug stores, it will show that $45,112.80 is spent annu ally for w hiskey in lhe drug stores alone. Such farces in thc way of prohibi tion as they have over in Charlotte makes a great many people oppose that disposition of the whiskey ques tion. If we are to have prohibit ion we must, have it in the drug stores, and everywhere else, or it will amount to nothing. To shut up the barrooms and make tippling places :>f the drug store is a backward step, Prohibition to bo successful must prob it in tho drugstore as well as in tia; bart oom. Women who own cut glass should tot throw stone?. Reduce th? Acxeatfo. The Rock Hill Herald calls atten tion to the efforts that are now be ing made to depress the price of cot ton. The South Carolina spinners in their Columbia ?meting decided io curt-ail nrodootion, it >avs. The Now E..&i?i.d spinners nave done the same. They say they have no demand for goods and there ia no use piling them up in warehouses. They claim that cotton is too high for the spinner to get any profit out of it. The English spinner at a re cent meeting passed a resolution looking to the establishment of an inunense cotton farm in no South so that they might teach people how to make, take care of and halo cot ton. This all shows that spinners are anxious to get back to six-cent cotton and that they will unite their efforts and great capital to accom plish their purpose In view of this, what should the cotton growers do? asks the Augus ta Herald. In the first place, as to the cotton grown last year, they should continue to hold it. The crop last year was a short one, at least two million bales short of meet ing the ordinary requirements. The little curtailing of manufacture that may be done here and there will have little effect. The new mills will more than sullicc- to make the demand for the raw material as great as it was last year. So far as I he cotton now on hand is concern ed, it is hound to advance in price as the season advances. As to next year the Southern farmer should pr?pare to meet the organized efforts of the manufact urers to bear the price by planting more corn, peas and small grain. That will surely lead up to raising colts, hogs and cattle. That will cut down guano bills. Prepare land throughly and plant two-third the usual acreage in cotton. That may give less cotton hut more mon ey. If it was known that the South would make only ten million hales this year, the crop would he bought for future delivery at 15 cents if possible,Then let Un; acreage ho cut down. This is the only de fense the farmers can make. With an abundance of corn, hay, hogs and cattle on hand the farmer wil be in a condition to hold his cotton consideration now than ever. The high price for which colton has sold all this season, and the still higher price which those will get who shall bo able to hold it, will serve as an incentive to planting a larger acre age If this ho done, it will play to the hands of the manufacturers, as they have stacked the cards, The price next season would be low. So the safe plan will be to devote a larger acreage to corn, small grain and other crops, and less to cotton. This will insure a high price for cot ton and at the same time have the farms better stocked with food sup plies. It would mean prosperity for the farmers, and for the entire South. To this the Farmers Union and Southern Cotton Association should address themselves. As to the last seasons crop, they can do nothing moro. Each individual holder of cotton must nov/ determine when he shall sell his remaining bales. But through the Union and the Southern Cotton Association with their mem - bership including the majority of cotton planters, the urgent need of reducing the acerage to bc given to cotton should be set forth and an ac tual reduction of not less than wenty-five per cent effected. Official Statistics. The figures given out, from the White House, that Taft is certain of 521 votes in the Republican Con vention, with moic to come, may be found after all to be colored by the enthusiastic statisticians of the "tennis cabinet". It would be rather extraordinary for a Repub lican Convention to nominate a can didate for President airainst the protest sf New York. Fennslyvania, Indiana, Illinois and other impor tant slates. The nomination of Taft can only he brought about hy the votes controlled hy tho federal of ficials in tho South and West, and such an endorsement of "my poli cies" and "my candidate" would hardly bo a recommendation to In dependent voters arni civil sei vier reformers in the doubtful states. The Republican factional light thus seems to be drifting in favor of the Democrats, if they eau get to^el hel en a candidate upon whom tho Bry an anti-Bryan factions can agree. Ric i rr under tee nose of Uncle Sam at the Nationai Capital the pro hibitionists declare there are 100 speak-casies, which if true shows how impossible is real prohibition. But that that does not exonerate the Republican officials which al low such evasions of the license law, IN A MARRIAGE MARKET. Odd Custom In a Prominent Russian Mart for Wive.
