very few people attended the sa'es
except those who were immediately
interested in the cases. The clerv
and the sheriff found the north wind
very biting where they were standing
in front of the building to sell
the lands, and they were evidently
very glad when they were through
with the business.

under mortgage against D. G.
Floyd was sold to Mrs S. A. Nich

THE LIEN LAW REPEALED
By a Voir of T wo to One. the llouso
Repeals* the I.ten Law The Mens- I
tire (iocs to tlie Senate.- Horry
Delegation Heard From,
Thero is a most terrible spoil of
weather here now. Since Friday
noon a fierce wind has been blowing
and todny I nin informed that
wet clothes are freezing, hanging in
the air. The lire department lias
been called ouf. seven times since
dirk last nlffht.
The legislature was In session last
ni^ht up to 10 o'clock considering
uncontested bills, whieii a good
many passed over to third readinir.
Very few general bills have been
disposed of in the house. One, however,
tiie repeal of the lien law, has
passed the houce by a large majori-1
?y of two to one. Oan't say at this
writing what the senate will do. I
wish to give a warning ou' to the
people of Horry, that they might
just as well begin to got ready for
soino other substitute, as I believe
lit will pass the senate and become a
| law by January JjilO, There was a
great discussion favoring the bill
coming up from rich farmers in the
legislature. Their argument seemed
to be wholly directed against the
j lien merchant as robbing the farmleraud
one of those says he makes
several hundred bales of cotton and
plants lnO acres of tobacco, etc., also
has la?'ge store and one or two)
thousand acres of land now, against j
one small lot 20 or more years ago,
tie obtained by the hot) law, 1
wanted to ask Mm if he extortioned
same from them and at what per
cent. Another one of the advocates
that claims to buy $15,000 worth of
fertilisers and uses suipe for farm
purposes, has been Indicted in the
United States court here for peonage
since the legislature met.
Now, | dc not know what. |s best,
but when you make deductions from
what j have heard on the floor of
the house that it means the rich
fanners of the Hta^o will become
great sharks to only be able the
suonur m eui up mo nine unties, or
if you please, to become richer and
muite a certain class poorer?in other
words, "master and slave" laudlord
and tenant and tyranny and oppression,
or power to make.
The retainers o( lien law put up
various arguments su-taining the
present pasition v\jih strong appoals
stating that it would take the independence
away from small, poor
farmers, that it would run the white
labor awav from farms and distract
the farm interest; also take away a
ten million medium of dojng business
in the oommoreial work!. That
mortgage s; st m would substitute
it and in a short time would leave
thousands without homes of their
own, However, we have to bow in
l 11 i ooirvn f / ? 4- U/\ ??? #? t- ??!*
ouuiuiooiwii ww who luujuriiv,
The florry delegation has some
matters now before the body for
consideration. A law to make or
amend the law, making a lawful
fence four feet in Horry county and
making it obligatory on constables
in each judicial district to enforce J
the law throughout the county and
providing a small raise in salaries
of magistrates and constables enabling
them tod) it. So boys lets
erect a good four fool fence now and
stop the harangue until stock law
comes if ever.
Another law amending the dog
law by eliminating him fiom listing
one; pay capitation tax of #1.00, A1
so gi\ ing another civil cou**t to meet
the demands and someothers.
Mr Singleton?To prov.d.j for the
time for holding courts in the 12th
judicial circuit and to arrango the
same.
The most important, it soe.i.s, is
my bill to reduce the tobacco warehouse
charges. It seems at this
writing that the representatives of
warehouses wish to stampede this
bill, but I am lying pretty close by
it, and will do what I can to keep it
alive I had it recommitted in order
to give them a hearing before
the agricultural committee, Wednesday
next.
The legisliture will convene again
in j ?int assembly Tuesday night to
vote again on associate judge. It
has been a dead lock now several
dav s.
We are lookir g for the prohibition
bill next week and it appears at this
writing it will pass both houses.
The receptions have abated now
and is not bothe. log the minds of
the members, but a very much
worse feature in our midst is the
wire pulling and politics connected
with election of those judges.
I trust we may meet again, so
good bye till next time.

lion over held in the South,
Marion Lawrence, the greatest
Sunday School worker in the world,
is to be there, and ho will have with
him Mr Hugh Cook, another International
Secretary. When such
men us theso are to i)e at the convention,
you know it will he something
grand. It is worth traveling
a thousand miles to hear Mr Lawrence
alone. As to Mr Cook wo
can do no bettor than to quote from
Air Ijuwreuco himself. 4' LI is expo-1
rience in former yours as a,n International
worker in the North-west
under B F Jacobs, and later us general
secretary of Pennsylvania, has
equipped him in a peculiar way for
the position he has occupied, U

splendid cooperation and counselling."
Uebidos these men of international
fame, there will be at
Orangeburg Up} strongest Sunday
School workers in the State, strong
men out of every denomination.
Lint this Is not all, The music,

To those who were at Union last
year wo need say no more, for they
are vet humming the tunes learned
at that convention. The work of
these musicians hua not been confined
to one locality, but has covered
the United States from Maine to

They have already sent in $55.00,

very best county conventions.
"/here are only four townships in
the county, and we sincerely hope
that Brother Birohmore will report

Orangeburg. Getting pretty close
to the Stale Sunday School Banner,
is it not?"
We clip the above from the Sunday
School Promoter. If vou wish
to help Horry hold the banner, go
to Orangeburg. The number of delegates
at the State convention is a
