The revelations of President
Smith before the United States Senate
committee in the case of Senator j
Beed Smoot of TJ tab has placed a J
good deal of 6mut on the Morinan
church, whether it has accomplished
anything else or not.
Adelina Patti has canceled all engagements
and shaken the duet of
the United States from her dainty
pedal appendages. It may be remarked
incidentally that she curried
off with her a whole barrel full of

Congressman Geoige TV Croft died
in Washington last Thursday after a
tI lingering illness caused by bloodpoisoning.
Mr Croft lived in Aiken
and was just finishing up his first
term as a member of Congress. He
was 57 years- old and had served his
State as Legislator, Senator and finally
as Congressman. His death
brings grief to many, especially at
his home, where his personal attrihntM
endeared him to his friends
rod neighbors.

The <Jeath of Prof. B. Means Davie,
which took place on last Sunday
morning, removes from the faculty
of the South Carolina College one who
| has been closely and prominently
(-^-'-identified with that institution since
1882.
Along with the universal
mourning of the faculty and the stuV
k dents and the alumni of the College
^ general sorrow is felt among hundreds
who knew Prof Davis as a
cultured ard scholarly gentleman
and an intensely loyal and patriotic
citizen of his State.
^? The statemeut we made last week
F
that nothing had been contributed
? to the Hampton monument fund by
the people of this county was based
on the fact that Williamsburg did
? ' not appear in the list of counties
that had contributed anything as re-,
poHed in the daily newspapers of the
State. We have since learned that
there has been for some time on deposit
in the Bank of Kingstree the
sum of $21.35 to fhe credit of the
monument fund. The editor^ of
1 The Reookd has been authorized to
gri
draw out this monev and the same
I
f has been forwarded to Columbia with
f. !
t $8.00 additional j which we have collected,
making the total amount sub-:
' 6cribed up to this time and forwarded
L $29.35. This is a bad enough ehow
* ing for this county, but it is decidedly
better than nothing at all.

J Spain Keller, the man who on i
Maj C, 1903, shot and killed BFi
Creech in Leo county, was tried foM
j murder, las t we^k and on Saturday!
j night the jury rAnrned a verdict of I
j acquittal. The defense relied solely j
j on the claim thut Creech had di??- j
honored Kelley's sister, admitting
! that Kelleyjshot Creech in cold blood
'and it seems that the ; lry thought
| that the killing was justifiable,
i Owing to the prominence of the par!
ties the case has attracted wide
I
i spread interest.
In the trial of Kelley for killing
Creech, who, it was alleged, was
i Kelley's sister's betrayei, the defense
laid great stress on a ''higher law."
If the jnry were right in their verdict
then a law should be passed 6x!
ing the death penalty for betraying
the virtue of a woman. If a man
merit9 death for this off ens e by a
"higher law" then he is equally amenble
to capital punishment in statuary
law. By all means something should
be done to stem the torrent of bloodshed
that is deluging our State.

THE LIEN LAW.
Son J.-.Davis Carter Points Out Its Dis
advantages to All Classes.'
Editor County Record:?
1 have beeu casting at>out iori
some time to find something to write
about that would be interesting to
yjur many readers, and find so mnnv
things that might be discussed with
profit to our people until I hardly
know where to take hold; but as I
have said in times past I believe the
lien law is the greatest hiudrance to
the material advancement of the
agricultural interests of Williamsburg
county and to the whole State,
notwithstanding the opinions of our
Legislators to the contrary; and now
I shall try and give my leasons for
saying so.
The lien law offers an inducement
for the farmer to go in debt, which
is clearly demonstrated iu all sections
where it has beeu operated.
Well, the liener makes the obligation
in good faith, puts the amount,
whatsoever it may be, to his credit,
say the fiist of January; then the
amount necssary for his year's supplies
is provided for. He goes home
and tells the old woman and the
first opportunity take* her in his
buggy or wagon and goes to the
etnr# tn tret some Rhoefl. cloth, hats
*""" * - D" J ?
and other necessities for family nee.
Well, they price some things and the
old Romi'n whispers into his ear9:
"Ain't these things mighty high?"
Old man: "Oh, well, you know they
are not to be paid for nntil next
fall. That's all right; yon get what
you want." And so she takes him
at his word and buys a right good
bill and off for home they go, talking
abont their plans for the year's
crop. And they make frequent
trips to the store during ihe crop
season. Well, seasons arc not very
favorable and they only make an
ordinary crop. Prices are low at the
time he is forced to sell, and his
account at the store is much larger
'han he expected, ar.d then he finds
that his crop is not going to pay the
debt he has contracted on it. The
merchant theu begins to push him
for his money and then he begins to
wish he never had given that lien,
for he is worse off than when he
started and about the end of all
this his home is put np to secure i
this debt. Now would it qot beeu (
better for this man to have planted

J
things until he could have made '
one crop and then been his own
man? All this trouble came about
because the lien law* he'd oui this ,
credit to him. And, now, take up this
labor question. Under this system of
cheaper andcheaper laud r^nt can the
negro labor be controlled? I say no,
if you give him credit he will 6teal
enough cotton in the fall to buy
him an old buggy and he then has
business to attend t?. Now I remember
well after the war many eld
negroes went to work, supported ,

UVU lUUIHtVU) ? ? ? ? |
paid for it without the assistance of
the lieu law and since this inducement
has been held out to them
nine out of ten have lost their land.
Now if I can understand this thing
the lien law has just had the opposite
effect to what it wi 8 iuteuded to
hare And now, brother farmers,
have we always got to labor under
these disadvantages or shall we arise
and demand its repeal? Now, Mr
Editor, if my position is not a logical
and tenable one I yield the
floor.
Well, I have inteuded to get something
in this article on the dog tax,
but its already too long. So I must
forbear if this does not get into the
wste basket you may hear me on
the subject later on.
Respectful h,
J. Davis Carter.
