Repeal the Lien Law.

Ii the thrifty, Woodworking and
debt-paying farmers of Laurens wuo
are ambitious to improve their condi.
tion and leave something to their
children are wise they will insist upon
sending members to the legislature
who will vote to repeal the lien law. 1t
is necessary to repeal the lien law in
order that the farmers may control
their labor. Perhaps the law should
be repealed gradually. An act might
be passed limiting the amour of liens
for n year. fixing a lower limit for
the next and again lower for the next
with complete abolition of the system
after four or five years. In this way
the poorest people could adapt them
selves to the change without suffering
hardship or wen Inconvenience. 1t Is
the poor man, the man who has no
property who would be the chief
gamer in the eud. With the lien sys-
tenn eliminated, he would find that he
could buy cheaper, that he would no
longer suffer from the great profits
that merchants are compelled to
charge In order to protect themselves
from the improvident and UNRELIABLE
provided OF course he showed a disposi-
tion to meet his obligations. Under the
present system the honest and hard
working man is often compelled to pay
two prices for goods in order to make
up to the merchants the losses which
the latter suffer from the idlers and
dead-beats. On q number of lien Gus
toners every merchant must and does
lose. In fixing his profits he must allow
for his average losses. Consequently
the Industrious class ia contributing al
the time to the support of dead. beats
that is what it "comes to-" When the
time arrives that the merchants will
sell to the idlers only for cash (which
the repeal OF the lien law would effect
the losses will cease and the merchants
will be glad to have the trade OF tn,
industrious and to make only small
profits upon it. There is always keel
competition for the man who is prompr
to pay whether he can give security o.
not.
Thousands OF IL people have thei
noses to the grindstone because they
are indirectly preyed upon by their
neighbors.

GOOD SPIRITS.

Good spirits don't all come from Ken

good spirits and q bad liverat the same
time. Your liver must be in fine shape
if you would feel bouyant, happy and
hopeful, bright of eye,light of step,v!g.
orous and successful in your pursuits.
You can put your liver in fine coudi-
tion by using Green's AUGUST Flower

The ID. ID. ID. Remedy.

About five years ago / noticed a slight
eruption on my limbs. but in a very short
time | was a sight to behold, from my head
to my feet, and my nights were terrible. 1
was simply on fire. j tried a number of
doctors here in this city, but with absolutely
no results aside from easing the burning
pain a little. A friend of mine who had
been cured of q very bad case of Eczema
by the ID. D.. u. Remedy advised me to
try it, which 1 did, feeling good results
from the first. i have been using the
d. d ID. Remedy for about three months,
using in all. about fifteen bottles, and to-
day 1 am a well man. L also had dandruf

To Improve Free Delivery.


TO make the free rural delivery SER
vice of the greatest value to those
whom it serves should be and doubtless
is the aim of the post office depart
ment. This value would be materially
increased if on many routes the mails
could be delivered in the afternoons in
stead Of in the mornings. As a rule
the farmers receive a great deal nor
mail than they send and for that pa'pa-
BILE reason the hours of delivery rather
than the hours of taking up the mails
should be first considered. Therefore,
rule as to the hours at which the carriers
leave the distributing point but those
hours should be determined by the ar
rival Of the mail trains. To illustrates:
IL daily papers from Columbia,
Charleston and Augusta are delivered
by train at Waterloo or Mountville at
noon the carriers should make their
trips in the afternoons Sd that persons
living on the routes could receive daily
papers on the day they are published.
AT present most of the carriers leave
in the early morning and the conse-
quence is that nearly all daily mails
are delivered a day late.
We do not mea to suggest that car
riers should be compelled to leave at un-
reasonable hours. We should not
wish that q carrier be forced to leave at
4 o'clock in the afternoon in winter,
which would compel him to be out
long after night, but it happens that
there are several routes in this county
the convenience OF which to the farm
ers would BE- vastly enhanced If the
carriers began to deliver somewhere
between the hours of noon and 2 o'clock
in the afternoon.
1t is possible that this matter could
be taken up with the department at
Washington by the membero of congress
from this district with marked result
ing improvement.
The PitifulIy Powerless Commission.
The passenger depot in this town was
located during the existence of a rail
way commission and it has continued
and is continuing a standing menace to
life, limb and property while railway
commissioners draw salaries. or course
it is not the fault of the railway COM
m~issioner5. They do their best. The
pity is that the railway commission Is
so pitifully helpless. The explanation
is perhaps that the railway commission
las not power enough under the law.
We fear that the railway commission Is
the most powerless creature that the
Lawmakers have succeeded in devils
ing. Assuming that the members of
the commission are rational, that they
have as much intelligence as the COM
mon run of men, their ~incapactty to
remedy a situation like this at Lau-
rens, their inability to cause the re-
moval of q nuisance and a death trap,
must be an e present source to them
of sorrow and humiliation. To be re-
sponsible to the people for their safety
and impotent to correct so shameful a
neglect of duty as is shown by the rail-
roads IN this matter of the Laurens
passenger depot, would make it difficult
for self-respecting men to accept and
hold the Office of galway commissioner.
If the laws clothe the railway commits
sion with no power to abate a fragrant
peril to the public, then the railway
commission is useless and worse than
useless.
