Spain, was four times married. lie

daughters. The elder is the Ex'

The Sslic law, which restricts tho

Spain. Ferdinand, for his daugh~
tcr's sake, abroga,ed this law. In
1882 he was supposed to be at the
point of death, and the Carllsts, by
skillful strategy, induced him TO re-
establish the Gallo law. No sooner
had he recovered, however, than he
revoked his revocation. 4 year
later hc actually died, and Carlos at
ouce proclaimed himsclfking. Chris
tina, as regent for her daughter, who
was only throe years old, denounced
him as rebel, and succeeded in
getting England, France and Portu-
gal TO sustain her cause. Carlos
fed to England, but returned next
year and began an lnsurrectiou,
which ragged, mainly as a guerrilla

The Bowen.DeLarge Contest.

The report of the Committee On Elec.
tious in the case of G. G. Bowen, con
testing the seat of r. G. DeLarge, from
the Second Congressional District of
this State has been made in tho House
Of Representatives in Congress. It
states that the committee 6nd, upon she
whole evidence, that DeLarge did not
receive the majority Of the votes legally
cast, and is therefore not entitled to his
seat. The report recommends resolution
that neither Of the contestants should
take the aeat, but does not find that
Bowen is disqualified, from occupyingis.
The committee report that che allega
tion that the counsel of DeLarge was
bribed, and withheld evidence in his
possession, was true.

The Lien Law.

Several propositions are under con
sidcration in the Legislature, III regard
to the law OF lens. Some of these %,
to abolishing the entire law, others to
making important notifications and
changes in its operation AS the law
now stands, the merchant or factor,
making advances to the farmer for
agricultural purposes, has preferred
lien upon the crop of the latter, TO the
amount of the price Of the supplies so
advanced. With the exception of
exorbiiunt prices sometimes demanded
and high rates of interest charged by
the merchants or factors, we can see no
evil in this provision Of law. 1t is
urged With some degree of truth that
this system of advances is result OF the
war and is pern!cious in so far that IA
great temptation is opened to the far.
NOR to be cxtravagant in getting advances
beyond the value of his crop which is
held toIay for tn m, This objection i,
however rather IN Individual one with
each farmer, and does not initiate
against the law, which certainly has Il
tendency to encourage and help the far
mer. Whether ho avals himself OF
the opportunity thus afforded by the law
or whether he is cxtravas ant and unwise
in It's use, is of course matter of econ
olny aud management with himself.
There is large class of small farmers,
just starting "farms of their own, to
whom this law is most beneficial and
almost necessary. They are deeply
Interested in the continuance of tho law
in its present form, and it is a question

More on the Same Subject.

We enquired in our last issue very
pertinently, why do not owners of lots
in and around Orangeburg, erect neat
and cheap cottages which could be
rented at moderate rates. Our enquiry
and suggestion have met with interest
and favor On tho part Of those who
would be the occupants of the proposed
homes. On Tie new street there are
many most desirable lots. Why do 10:
the owners of these act upon our sug
gestion.
Cottages Of four rooms, can be erected
for little or nothing The weather.

boards white washed make just as pretty
an exterior, as planed boards and paint
and is of course immeasurably cheaper.
The convenience of large and increas-
ing, class Of our very best citizens, and
tho great Improvement it will be to our
pretty and growing Town arc the con-
siderations, which urge us to press this
subject.
We nre happy TO state that our sus
gestion has been caught up By come lot
owners. No less than four snNEl neab
residences are about to be erected.
The new street lies beautifully open
to view from the railroad, and built up.

General Assembly.

Since our last our Legislators have
been active. although a quorum has
been wanting sometimes.
A joint resolution has been intro
duced in the House Of Representatives,
authorizing tho Governor to appoint
three commissioners to investigate the
amount and validity of the State debt,
and TO empower these commissioners to
stamp officially the Bonds and stocks
found to be genuine.
The proposition has however met
with strong opposition. 1t proposes to
give these commissioners too much
power.
