Thoughts Captured as They Fly

As the late night trains pass and I
sit and watch by the bedside of my
little affectionate Tom, prostra+ed from
twenty-one days of typhoid dysentery,
which DR.. CIoGson says is the worst
case he ever SAVIOR diversion will
capture some of the many thoughts
that speed through my mind.
Thomas symptoms are better but he
is still lowering between life and -.
Lucie has been quite sick for four or
five days. I feared she would have a
similar case, but it is passing off and
she is able to be up. We have kind,
attentive and able physician, and 1
hope for the best. Some of my good
friends in NewberIy-for I exult to
know 1 have host of them there-N,ll
say ''You had no business going down
there" Dear Friends, ] felt like it
was necessity. Twas not succeeding
financially in Newberry and but for
the privation of your society and the
watching, waiting and anxiety OF the
sick room l should be well satisfied
here. 1 have had q good school (forty-
one scholars) | get 4 decent living,
have a very comfortable house, and
will clear some money if miSfortunes
do not come too thick and fast.
Though unable to turn himself or
even raise his head, ''Little Toms"
mind has all the time kept clear as q
bell, and he is very considerate lest I
overdo myself in watching and nurs-
ing him. He seem like he does not
mean to die unless God has willed it..
The Psalmist David said when the
Prophet gave him his choice, ''Let me
fall into the hands OF God" I feel
very much like am in the hands OF a
good and merciful God, who does all
things well, and believe ME it's no
mean feeling, Bob Ingersol and Tom
Payne TO the contrary. TO feel that
YOU are in the hands OF Him
"Whose hand The lightning forms,
Who heaVes old ocean and who wings the
" storm"
of One who knows the end from the be-
ginning, and who pities those who trust
him, as father pitieth his children, is
an enviable feeling.
DO not De uneasy ABOUT us ueaT
friends, we have all the assistance
human aid can give. Mr.. Drafts, Capt.
Lewie Griffith and others have hearts
and purses large enough to keep us
from wanting what human aid can give.
Twill write Legends OF the Rock"
and "Reminiscences Of Mollohon" for
YOU in series as soon as health and
leisure will permit. l am yours. as
am ever. j, G. N.

THE LIEN LAW.

The lien law has at last been re-
pealed, and on the first day Of JAN
uary, 1885, it will disappear from
the Statute books. To many persons
this law has for years been extreme
ly odious, and it has been discussed
and re-diseussed by the General
Assembly, at considerable cost to
the State. The lien law has opened
the avenue for great deal of fraud
and raseality among our people
and We believe it has had a serious
effect upon that question of morals
which determines for a man whether
he shall pay his debts.
Those who have so industriously
sought the repeal of the lien law,
have obtained their wish, and the
General Assembly will receive their
commendation. For ourselves, we
are not prepared to say that the
legislature acted wisely in repeating
the law. It was, first enacted for
the purpose of affording basis of
credit to poor farmers who other
wise had no credit. But its oppo-
nents say that it has outlived the
necessity that called for its enact
ment, and that it has had disas-
trous effect upon the farming in
terests Of the communities that
availed themselves Of its provisions.
We regard the matter in this
light: The law gave the poor far
mer the opportunity to get adyan-
ces, but it did not require or force
him to give lien. And no law
can prevent fulLgrown men from
running into debt. The most seri-
Gus feature Of the whole business is
that the Supreme Court has decided
that a man may mortgage his crop
before it is in the ground. 1t is
very likely that the man who would
give a lien if the law allowed him
to do so, will give mortgage for
the purpose of obtaining advances.
The difference is in favor Of the
lent is much simpler and it ex-
ecutes itself at the endof the year.
The mortgage will not be as simple
as the lien in its remedies, but will
be more expensive.
Since we wrote the above the
Senate has rejected the House bill
repeating the Lien Law; so the law
stands for future discussion.

To Prosperity and Back.

We took a run down to the active
town OF Prosperity Monday afternoon a
week ago, and after decidedly pleas
ant rest-oYer Of night, and scamper
round next morning, took the 1.30
train back. We wanted to tell of it
last week, but our inside was too full
to put in the wceist mite-we don't al
lude to the inside of the man, but the
''inside" of the HERALD. Prosperity is
a wide-awake, buSiness-moving place,
and has on its public square ten or a
dozen energetic business men who are
barely able to supply the daily demands
made upon them by the people of the
town and the surrounding country, in
Groceries, Dry Goods, Furniture, Drugs,
and we like to have omitted the essen
tial and all-important item Or items
embraced in that multiform necessity
Millinery. We would not forget the
ladies and their interests for ever so
much. These merchants are Messrs.
Wheeler & Mosely, who run both q
general mercantile trade, and furni-
ture store, of huge proportions, and
who by reason Of late advertising have
drawn a considerable trade from New
berry; then there is Wise & Bro, who
have only recently opened, and COM
plain already of doing a large and in
creasing business; then, S. Il. Barr, A.
H. Kohn, r. L. Luther, J. Bobb, and
Schumpert & Rikard, these keep we'll
selected stocks OF dry goods and gro
ceries. In addition there is Mr.. j. L.
Counts in the furniture line, and Mr..
S. L. Fellers, who deals in pills, and
plasters and performs all the roll of q
clever druggist. A live School, where the
sensible fathers send their boys and
girls to be educated, is presided over by
Prof. J. C.. Cork in an efficient and ac-
ceptable manner. The school would
look the better for covering Of paint,
but this does not interfere with the
amount Of good done on the inside.
1t is dry" town, and should
man want to wet his whistle, he might
whistle all day and still go dry.
We were minded by two or three
good friends, who never let a thing
rest, as long as it will do to talk abolt,
of our visit last Summer to the picnic
in that neighborhood, and the very un-
fortunate expression made by us in a
HERALD notice, that the place was
situated just beyond the bounds Of
civilization.'' If there be a man or
woman who did not die of Indignation
caused by this poor, unoffending iotter
OF pleasant picnic occasion, and who
entertained only the highest esteem for
the people whose chicken, mutton and
sweet things he took in, to his or her
we say, offence was not in our head or,
in our heart, on was it u the notice.
Oh dear, we dislike to recall that mel
ancholy mistake. Prosperity, the
town, the country, Jolly street, Somkey
Town, and every part and parcel of
it, is as dear to us as any part Of New
berry county. Please remember this
friends.
Well we enjoyed this present visit, rs
we have all others, and promise to go
again, and see people whose latch
string is always on the outside Of the
door.

Make Some One HAPPY.

We remember away back, in the
time OF our childhood, the advent OF
Christmas what happiness followed
our receiving pocket knife, ball,
and some candy; big things to us.
Christmas has been coming ever since,
and the little boys and girls OF to-day
are made as happy now as we and the
boys of our day were then. We have
warm place in our heart for the dear
children, and appreciate the delight
which they will manifest on waking
this christmas morning and finding
we'll filled stockings. We can imagine
hearing their gleeful shouts, see their
smiles-how happy we are then, how
happy every father and mother. We
think too, of the fatherless andmother-
less little ones, whose stockings will
be empty, unless filled by some kind
hand. This thought induced the writ
ing of this paragraph. 1t is in the
power of every one Of us to contribute
Something to make some little one glad
that christmas has come for him or her.
Let us doit, dear friends. Look around,
and hunt up some child, some hard
working, bowed-down woman, and out
of our store give them christmas pres
emf, that they may feel indeed that
this is a merry christmas for them.

Courage is a-noble trait. With
some it requires greater courage to
live than it does to die. When disease
racks the frame, when sores cover
the person, when aches are in every
Joint, when the muscles are soft and
fabby, when the least exertion gives
fatigue; when the mind is filed with
gloom and dependency; Shat is
there in life worth living, ana yet
many exc out just such miseraL lie
existence, living only for those who
owe them. When it is generally
known that Browns Iron Bitters
will cure the above disorders how
many hearts will be made glad !!
How many homes made happy.
