THE LIEN LAW.

If the lien law is bad thing let 1t alone.
IF YOU are In the situation that forces you
to give lien and work your own crop or
hire to your neighbor and work his crop,
then adopt the alternative that is most
congenial to toyournature and promises the
best results to you.
No man can beforced into giving lien.
He can decide for himself whether he WILL
give lien or hire to his neighbors. Also,
whether his liberty and manhood are I'M
paired more by the one than the other.
The repeal of the lien law means that
the poor mans opportunities for making
a living will be reduced. He will have
no choice in the matter then. he must
hire or starve. What sensible man would
knowingly lessen his opportunities for
earning his daily bread?
By means of the lien law many man
has rented farm and conducted 1t as in
dependently as lift had been his own, until
he had accumulated enough to buy the
farm. Reduce such a man as that to the
necessity of hiring as a day hand and you
would break his braYe heart. A little help
in life-a little lift at the beginning-haa
been the foundation Of many fortune,
and the lien law is the little lift that has
started many man on the upgrade toin-
pendence and plenty.
II you don't like the lien lew have no.
thing to do with it. Don't force the
shackles of serfdom around your neigh
bors' ankles, however, by repeating it.
Let him continue to be free man.
Governor Tillman is said to favor the
repeal Of the lien law. That is hostility to
the poor man, and would keep him poor

Ready to Fight.
Special to augusta Chronicle:

COLUMBIA, s. c., Aug. 4.-The most
exciting meeting of the State cam paign oc-
Cured today at Union. There came DAN
gerously near being personal difficulty
on the stand between Gov. Tillman and
Col. Orr, the Conservative candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, which would have
resulted in riot.
In his speech Gov. Tillman asked Col.
Orr for his authority for saying that
preacher had said that he [Tillman] had
Haunted his profanity In public.
Col. Orr explained that he did not
divulge private conversations, and added
that Tillman knew the statement was
true as he could ascertain by appealing
to the preachers in general. The Gov
ernor said, that sometimes an oath slip
ped out but that it had done so only on
one occasion during the campaign. He
appealed to the ladies present to signify
if in their opinion they considered him as
blackguard, but of course there was no
response from them. The Governor then
said that Col. Orr or any other man who
said he f1aunted his profanity In public
lied.
Col. Orr advanced to the Governor and
catching him by the arm wheeled him
around and asked him If he was trying
to raise personal difficulty.
Governor Tillman replied that he was
not, and Orr shook his finger in his face
aud told him he could not intimate that
he (Orr) lied without having it thrown
In his (Tillman's) teeth. He told him
further that Tillman had boasted Of be-
ing "God Almighty's gentleman" The
Governor replied 80 he had, and Orr re-
piled che did not do himself credit when
he made you" He again caught hold of
the Governor and asked him II he meant
to intimate that he was liar. The
Governor said that if Orr did not origi-
nate the statement his remark did not ap-
ply to him.
By this time the crowd had become a
raging mob. People climbed up on the
stand, men pulled off their coats, swore
like troopers and gathered around the
two men. It looked for all the world as
If blood was to be shed.
Col. Orr stood to the rack and told
Tillman he had repeatedly used curse
words on the stand. The Governor said
he had not done 1t but once and he
would leave it to Ex-Governor Sheppard,
who, however, had nothing to say.
The excitement by this time was in
tense. Col. Orr again caught hold OF
Governor Tllman, who had turned his
head toward the crowd in front and told
him if he wanted fight he could get it.
The Governor said he did not, and Col.
Orr went back to his seat, remarking
that Tillman must let him alone. The
Governor turned to the crowd and said
no living man could bulldoze him. After
great difiulty the crowd was quieted.
