REMBERTS.
Rembers, Nov. 29.-Today is
Thanksgiving day, but few of us are
abie to celebrate and enjoy our
Thanksgiving dinner this year, as the
short crop has left us with little
money to spend. In former years
"When a good crop was made we could
buy plum puddings, oysters, celery,
olives and such things that go to
naake up a good dinner, but this
year we will content ourselves with a
?imple repast, thanking God for His
blessings and protection over us dur?
ing the past year.
Our farmers have abou? finished
planting oats, and a good stand is re
?ported from all sections. The acre?
age is about the same as last year.
The labor question is the greatest
* disturbance at present in this com?
munity, and all agree that the pres?
ent existing lien law has caused it all.
Most of our farmers hire and employ
our farm laborers for ten months,
giving them so much in money, also
two acres of land. As soon as they
commence work in Januarv they go
at once to the country merchant, say
Mr. A, and give him a lien, also a la?
bor contract for tabout $10 on his *w:>
acres of land, in a few weeks his
lien is taken up. '/hen he goes to
Merchant Mr. B. and repeats th?
same and as soon as that lien is out
he goes to Mr. C., repeating the same
thus giving three liens and three la?
bor contracts. If he has a good
crop year he comes near paying out
and whoever employes him the next
"year has to pay the merchant $10 or
$15 to get him, but this year he
makes a complete failure and rather
than go to jail or the chaingang, he
leaves the county, and many have al?
ready left and gone out of the State.
"Now, if the next legislature fails to
abolish the lien law, it will only be
.a question of a few years longer that
labor can be had on the farms. It
is true if the lien law is abolished
many of the small farmers will feel
"the effect the first year, but as soon
as our country gets on a cash basis
you will see every line of business
.prosper and not until then.

KERSHAW COXJSTY NEWS.
Camden, Nov. 28.-With the past
two weeks of fair weather all pro?
gressive farmers are making prepara?
tion for another crop. Our advice
is to run two-horse plows as long as
ground is dry. With everything equal
land that is plowed deep will make a
third more than with shallow break?
ing. Turn over all land that was in
corn and peas, and let the vines and
stalks rot We will get 15 bales of
cotton to the plow, this year where
some of our neighbors won't make
the rent. The only difference we
make thorough preparation. -In
place of resting all the winter, we
plow every day that is dry. We are
breaking 40 acres of land this week
that a few years ago made a bale per
acre. This year the place made one
bale, or a bale to 40 acres.
Work is progressing on the Her?
mitage cotton mill dam, that broke
some time ago.
Every few days we see some mer?
chant pass with an old plug mule to
pay a several hundred dollar lien.
There is a certain class of farmers
who get advances that should be on
some good man's contract. Every
time we see a man lose on such a
liener we have no sympathy for him.
The lien law is a curse to South
Carolina, and should be.repealed. We
have heard it said that we would
have, better laws, - but . for the-*--fact
that the lawmakers are sometimes a3
dishonest as the public and make
laws lo dodge their own debts.
At the last quarterly conference of
the Rembert and S?. John circuit
the following resolution was offered
and ordered published in the Item:
Whereas our presiding elder, Rev.
H. B. Browne, having closed his
quadrennium with us, therefore be it
resolved :
1st. That we have been uplifted
by association with him and benefitted
by his wise counsel.
2d. That we fully appreciate his
labors among us; he, by his zeal and
energy having made the Sumter dis?
trict, in every particular, among the
first in the South Carolina conference.
3d. That we pray that God's rich?
est blessings may rest on him and
family in his future fields of labor.

Simple Way to Overcome the Danger?
of this Disagreeable Disease. %
Catarrh is an inflammation of the*

Fortunately, within the last few
years, a simple and reliable treatment
for catarrhal troubles has been found
-Hyomei, a combination of healing;
and germ-killing balsams, that, when. r
breathed through the neat pocket in-F.
haler that comes with every outfit/-^.
reaches the tiniest cells in the respi?
ratory organs, carrying its healing
and health-giving properties to every
part where the catarrhal poison is.
present
Used in this way, Hyomei kills all J
catarrhal germs, drives the poise:* J^v
from the system and heals all irrita- \
tion that may be present hvthe mu?
