There are several vital issues be fore the general assembly of the State which convened at Columbia last Tuesday. One of the most Im portant is the lien law, the opponents of which will make the most determin ed effort for its repeal. As we have said before, we hope they will not succeed, as this is the most Inoppor tune time for such legislation that has occurred for the last ten years. If there was plenty of money In the country and everybody was prosper ous, there might be good reason for wiping the law off the statute books, hut with money so timid that it is al most impossible to borrow, even ou the most approved collateral, to tabe away the only means that the negro.

Mr. Will Austell and Mr. Mallory hag to secure supplies for making a crop, would result in a lot of land which is capable of producing good crops, lying out, and would force these people to seek employment at something whereby they could get support for themselves and families. Good roads is another matter with which the legislature will deal, and it is to be hoped that our representa tives will devise some means by which the road system of our State may be improved. The dispensary will also receive Its share of the attention of the legisla tors, and we devoutly hope that this most nefarious child of the devil may be killed so dead that it can never be resuscitated. It has torn our grand old State fro mthe proud position which it once occupied and brought it down to the level of the basest commercialism. It has de bauched some of our best citizens, who. but for the dispensary, would N. C-. where they go to attend court. Miss Janie Elliot and Miss Sadie Beam are visiting W. T. Thompson and family. Mr. J. Roy Jones, of Abbeville, left today for Spartanburg. Mr. Jones has been in the city for several days looking after the interest of the N. K.

The letter II was a desperate pitfall. H she could not rememl>er, so her mother said. •’See, Margaret, it looks like a gate." That was an inspiration. Now Margaret is in clover. She never forgets, but this is what she says: A. h, c. d. e, f, g. gate, i, etc. Her mother sees still harder work ahead in making the little maid forget.—Wash ington Star.

It Does the Business. Mr. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Maine, says of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. “It does the business; I have used it for piles and It cured them.

Like the deadly upas it poisons everything it touches, and once you feel its contaminating influence you can never again become clean. Let the State of South Caro line became purged, and although it will be impossible to ever fully re cover from its effects, we can, by the grace of Almighty God, hope to get back at least a part of our self-re- sepet. Compulsory education is another matter that will be discussed we believe to be a meritorious meas ure. It has been tried successfully in some of the other Sates, and as we need education more than any* Co. thing else, we fell that such a meas ure would be productive of much good.
