THE LIEN LAW STANDS.
The Legislature Refuses to Remove

hrs.

The question Of W h eth er
the lien law would or would
not remain on ths>statute book
was fought a finish in the
Rouseof representatives Tues
dav. when Representative
: Richards bill to repeal the law
came up on the calendar. 1t
looked at first as if the bill
would pass, as the house had re-
fused by an overwhelming vote
to Strike out the enactlng words.
Then, before the bill could be
passed to the third reading, an
other attack was made omit and
the house reversed itself and by
a narrow margin voted to "kill
the bill" Mr. Richards bill to
repeal the lien law and his reso-
luti0n to refer the matter to the
y pie were considered together
both met the same fate.
mong the speakers who took

was Representative P H
of Williamsburg, who ia
vofed the repeal of the lien law.
The Columbia State gives the
following synopsis of Mr. Stoll's
speech:

question ef-eeohomy, he SAID.
! The negro gets his advances on

lien law that the negro may be
put where he belongs. When
he negro is put on plane with
the white man in industrial la
Dor, the Wnlte man SHOWS up
badly, for the negro can thrive
ON less. In reply to Mr. Laney, he
saidthat he had advocated the re-
peal on the stump and he had
heard no one declare for the lien
law. He urged that the negro
should be placed where he be-
longs. This asrthe first time
Mr. Stoll has been heard in the
house and he made very favor.
