LIFE AND LOVE.
BY BENJAMIN ARMSTRONG.

Life il garden fair aud free,
But It's Love that holds the golden key;
For hand and heart
Once held apart,
Life's flowers are dashed with storm Of
sorrow.
And bloom to-day may be blight tomorrow;
Then needless ever of wind and weather,
Let Life aud Love be linked together.
Life is like diamond rich and rare,
But Love is tue luster that dances there;
For hard aud heart
Once held apart,
Life's jewels grow dim in the breath Of
SORROW,
And diamond to-day may be dust to-
Then needless ever of wind and weather,
Let Life and Love be linked together.
Life hath "A fair and "a sunshine face,
But Love is the beauty that gives il grace;
For hand aud heart
Once held apart,
The sweetest checks are paled with sorrow
And blush to-day may be blanched to.
morrow,
Then needless ever of wind and weather,
Let Life and Love he linked together.

The .reman's Fair.

We are glad to learn that the pros.
poets of the approu ching Fircman's
Fair is most gratifying in every par
ticular. 1t is thought that the exhi-
biton will be The most brilliant ever
held IN CUR town and with favorable
weather the success will be unparal-
lclcd. Valuable contributions arc
coming in from very nearly every
quarter Of the United States and our
own citizens, thus encouraged by out
side aid, arc putting forth every cf-
fort TO make this Fair memorable
vent in the history Of the town.
Old and young of every sex are
working enthusiastically to this end
Outside Of any consideration Of per-
sonal pride there is local interest
attached TO the success of this Fair
which gives it commanding impor-
,ancc in The eyes OF our citizens.
The Steamer, Uncle Joe, for the brnc-
lit Of which the Fair is TO he held,
from.its beauty and clllicicucy has be-
come The pet OF the Young Americas
and of our .citizcns. This laudablc
pride IS marrcd by Il heavy debt
which hangs over the engine and
can never he fully enjoyed until
this embarrassment is removed and
hence ,hc.earncst efforts being made
and the grand success expected to
result from these efforts.
The object, therefore, Of the Fnil
is cmincntly praiscworthy one and
should receive the cordial support ol
every citizen and especially those
who have homes to be protected from
the attacks OF the fire ticnd. The
Fair will he opened on the 2Olh inst.
under the auspices OF the ladies OF
Orangcburg supported hy the Young
Americas and the good will Of the
entire community. The exhibition
will continue through the week.

concerned !hc Lien Law is the great
est curse that ever rested on a COM
munity. 1t is true that some mer-
chants have grown rich under its
workings but others have failed and
become poor. 1t allows the widest
scope for oppression by demanding
cXorbitant prices aud by enforcing
their collection. 1t is school pf
dishonesty csnsing men to run their
crops to save the payment OF what
they consider an unjust debt. 1t de-
moralizcs labor by. forcing the land
owner to rent his lands to persons
totally unfit to manage them. A ne
gro can give lien and then buy a
horse, plow, an old hoe, little
phosphate, a few bushels of corn, q
hundred pounds Of bacon and with
his family squat in an old field tn
Dasi III Tue sunshine, and siarve-tor, a
year, making perhaps enough to pa,

next years living. This is the ex-
pericnce with liens in this country

der, the laborer and the State.

Scarcity of Labor.

There seems to he no disposition lC

10 rent land and work on his own re-

universal as to Indicate concerted ac-
tion on the part Of thc negroes not
TO hire or work for white people. II

litcs hold the remedy ia their own
