THE WHITAKER MEETING

We have received for publication, the FOL
lowing communication, signed by number
of the citizens of Whitaker in reference tc
the statement of "Looker-On," which we
published three weeks ago in connection with
the anti-Mornon meeting. The communica'
tion of "Looker-On," as also the proceedings
of the meeting, was published merely as news,
either going for what it was worth, and in the
$ame spirit we print the reply below to "Look'
6r-On:"
Mr. Editor: We are citizens of the town
of Whitaker, S. c., and if there is any taint
of Mormonsm, or sympathy for those claim.
ing to be SUCH we are not aware of it, except
it be on the part of "LoOker-On." That wri-
ter may be tainted with something not very
good, or he would not try to create false
impression by publishing the statement over
the signature of "Looker-On" in the EN-
QUIRER of August "a. "MANY CITIZENS"
THE CHESTER FAIR.
We have received Il copy Of the premium
list of the fourth annual fair Of the Chester
Agricultural, Horticultural and Mechanical
Association, to be held at Chester, commen-
cling October II, and continuing four days.
Every arrangement has been perfected, to
make this exhibition more successful than any
yet given under the auspices Of the Associa-
tion. The grounds and buildings have all been
put in first-rate order, and every care taken
for the accommodation of exhibitors, visitors
and exhibits. The premium list is an unu-
sually full one, and every department will re-
ceive due attention. We trust there will be a
full representation, both in people and exhib-
it's, from York. Though the fairs of the
Association are held in Chester, on account of
it's central location, yet the three other coun-
ties-York, Lancaster and Fairheld-are re-
cognized in the organization and are expected
to contribute to it's success and share in its
benefits. COL John s. Bratton is the vice.
president from this county. Premium lists,
giving all desired information, may be pro-
cured on application to Capt. j. K. Henry,
Secretary and Treasurer, Chester, 5. G.
THE Lien LAW.
The following is the full text of the Act of
the last regular session of the Legislature in
reference to the disposition of personal proper
ty on which mortgage or lien may exist, with
out the written consent of the mortgage or
lienee. This is the Act referred to in these
columns last week, and the opinion of legal
minds is that it applies to crops the same as
any other personal property on which mortgage
or lien exists
AN ACT to punish any person or persons VINO
shall sell or dispose Of any personal property
on which mortgage of any kind may exist
without the written consent OF the mnrtgagee.

soflal property on which any mortgage or 9TH
er lien exists, without the written consent OF
the mortgagee or lienee, or the owner or holder
of such mortgage or lien, and shall fail to pay
the debt secured by the same within ten days
after such sale or disposal, or shall fail in such
time to deposit the amount of the said debt
with the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas
for the County in which the mortgage or lien
debtor resides, shall be deemed guilty OF a
misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall
be imprisoned for a term not more than two
years, or be fined not more than five hundred
dollars, or both, in the discretion of the Court:
