KINGSTREE,
THE LIEN LAW STANDS.
The Legislature Refuses to Remove
from Our Statute Book this Incubus
The -question of whether
the lien law wouidor would
not remain onths^statute book
was foug^Toa finish in the
^ representatives Tues >
i r* i__ i.;
aav, wien representative
Richards' bill to repeal the law |
came up on the calendar. It
looked at first as if the bill ,
would pass, as the house had re- j
fused by an overwhelming vote |
I to strike out the enacting words. ,
I Then, before the bill could be }
.passed to the third reading, an-1,
1 other attack was made on*it and ,
the house reversed itself and by
a narrow margin voted to "kill .
the bill." Mr Richards' bill to (
repeal the lien law and his reso- i ^
tot^n to refer the matter to the
^^^Hple were considered together y
I both met the same fate. x
j^^HHmong the speakers who took ^
M It in the debate on this ques- j
was Representative P H .
Bj V of Williamsburg, who fa- (
the repeal of the lien law. j
The Columbia S^ate gives the j
following synopsis of Mr Stoll's ,
SQpech: }
mfr^Stollof Williamsburg fa- s
vo^fcthe bill. This is largely j
aj^uRion economy, he said. .
The negro gets his advances on < ^
HL a lien, and we cannot get the la-; j
Hhor. He urged the repeal of the j
j^Hlien law that the negro may be e
H9L)ut where he belongs. When t
HHhe negro is put on a plane with y
W the white man in industrial la\
bor, the white man shows up
badly, for the negro can thrive
on less. In reply to Mr Lanev, he j
saidthat he had advocated the repeal
on the stump and he had
heard no one declare for the lien
law. He urged that the negro ic
should be placed where he be-1c
longs. This was^the first time ^
Mr Stoll has been heard in the c
bouse and he made a very favor- *
able impression. His remarks
B" ightful, his sentences r
