E. II. AULL, E, mTon. THE LIEN LAW STANDS. When we stated Friday that this prosent. Legislatulre vwould not, repeal the lien law wo (lid not know that the vote had already been taken and that, tle law was left in taet, but, such wits the case. In the House oi Thursday the Rogors bill ft'pealing the lien law was up for discussion and by ia vote of 58 to 39 the.repealing aet was ideli nitely postponed. We felt sure that, would be the result whenever the mat ter came ill). This bill provided that the repealing act should go into effect on January 1, 189). Of Our delegation Messrs. Kibler and Banks voted against, indefinite postponement while Ir. Wyche voted to indefinitely post.pone. The bill never reached the Senate. The debato on t lie subject was spirit od and interesting. Ii favor of repeal ing Mr. VC-llener of OcoRec is replOrted Us Iakiig the followint', reiarks: Mr. Verner secured the llo-r tid he Lranl by stat,ing that all woUld agree on thie proposition that the p.op'u shold(I be protected.

The public printing has been a bone of contention lIn the Legislaturo again this session. Thoeo has been P. good deal to say about it for the past several years. We are about, toagroo with the Gi -envillo News that it Is a misfortuno for any daily paper to have the work. It will be remembered that Mr. C. A. Calvo had been elected publi1 prin ter and his timno was not out, but just hefoo t,ho assembling of tho prseat Legislaturo lie becamo Ineapacitated to attend to business, and the law pr-ovides in such emorgency that the Governor, with tbu Clil mlnen of the Printing Committees of both houses, shall fill the vaceancy. It 0 happened that therO was no Chairman of the Senato Con mit,tee, and the Governor called II other. imlember than the Clhairvman of the ouse Con .tee, and they to gethler elected Mr. C. 13. Calyo, a sol1 0; Mir. C. A. Calvo, publie printer., and lie at once ar'rangl(ed with the state Il'ublishing Co. to do the work. The State at once bought a lot of pcesses and Imlateriial to do tho work and hats done considerable of it, and the work Wis Hatisfactorily done.

It. is reported in Columbia that the Senate will refuse to confirm the ap pointment of Browton as auditor of Spartanburg, and that Gov. Ellorbo will thou givo Mr. Epton his job back by appointing him auditor. We can not believe there is'any foundation for such report. Mr. Epton resigned his o1ico and accepted the appointment of Comptrollor-Gcnoral, wit,h the chances of his appointment being confirmed by the Legislature, and now for the Son ato to refuse to confirm the appoint mont of Browton, in order to make place for Epton, would be a very fool islh thing, and we do not believe the Secato would be a party to any such deal, and we do not beliovo the Gover nor is trying to work any such schemo. It would hurt Epton and Ellerbe both in their race the coming year. And then it looks too much like children to talk about such deals. Unless there is something upon which to base such rumors, they should not be started. There is not much probability of the Legislature aldjOUI'nlIig yet for three wocks. The liquor and dis pensaRy question has not been touched. Tho appropriation bill will take ill considerable discussion. Then there are sevoral other important mat tel's to receive attent.ion. Instead of a short session it promises to be a rather longt.y one. Tle Legislature Will make a mistake to repeal the anti-free-pass bill. We do not suppose any inhi3raber would ac cept free passes on account of his posi tion, and the railroads would not give passes to legislators except for the pur. pose of imiak i ng them more friendly. The French say "it is the impossible that happens." Tlis hias proved to be the case With the Monnt Lebanon Shaict.s.

Mr'. Editor', we have nevet' been marked dlowni its a daubbler' in nasty, dity things, anid God forbid that we shall ever bo, but we are forced to ox pres5 0our opiion upont that uncalled for tirade t hat the Mtato ntewspaper muade tipon Senatot' Mower. If McIver was the State's choice for Chief Justice, it had a nm.fect eight t praise and compliment him in every r spect. This is its prerogative wiii no one will deny. But in the name of all that is just and right, has it come to the point that when a man offers himself for a public ofllco, that if he Is not in good favor with the leading newspapers they will jump upon him and accuse him of being unfair, preju diced, connected with a plot, and un fitted for high trust, and then appeal to the eutire legislature to denounce him as a disgraceful intriguer. Thl Is one of the most low-down, contemp tible reproaches almost that could bi made upon a man. Not only the peo ple of Newberry County, but alnosi the whole people of the State knovy Mr. Mower, and they know him t< stand far beyond such filthy slings. But when we look into the origin o this newspaper we can't be surprised for just such stuff has almost been It daily food from Iti infancy. Only < few ears ago it came Intoexistence foi the solo purpose of blowing ip the Re form party, and only just such men at would adhere to its doctrines would i recognize. But its whole political lift has proved a failure, and instead o being a terror to the Reform movement it has been a benefaction for a vas majority of the people of the State jus go contrary to its advice. Senator Mower is a high-toned gon tleman In every respect. His politica record stands unspotted before the peo pl. During his whole life he haE nter been known to suffer himself t< be led into any such dirty stuff as th< State accuses him of. Mr. Mower ih fully competent and deserving of any office in the State under the gift of th< people, and we fully believe that if th< State had made its tirade upon him be foro the election for judges came off Mr. Mower would have defeated Mc Ivor by a large majority. Yes, oh, ye gods! that our offices were filled witi just such men as George S. Mower and J. A. Slighl We suppose, acco ding to the State'i plan in running its candidates, if Rail road Commissioncr Thomas is one o its pets, it will pounce u)on Sligh witli its tisual torrent of abuse and slander which, of course, will go to make hit election sure.
