The Lien Law.

The lien law Is a boon for the weak cotton
grower.
The mortgaged cotton grown under the
ban OF lien law Ia the big stick used by COL
ton bears 10 hammer down prices on every
cotton growers crop.
The lien law aids the fertilizer trust in
placing large lois OF trust goods into weak
cotton. and this weak cotton sets prices on
all other cotton, 10 the detriment of the whole
South.
Mr.. ]. Z. Wanamaker, a prosperous farmer
OF st Mathews, puts 1t in q nutshell when he
said, "the lien law gives a premium to ras-
cality. Repeal the lien law and you will en-
courage a good character"
Here Is q clipping from the Anderson Daily
Mail: Says the Newberry Observer: III there
Is ever a time TO repeal tho lien law It IL now
The Farmers Unions couldn't do a better
thing for agriculture than secure the repeal
They will never be able 10 hold the cotton

A Warning.

The attention OF our Farmers Union Blu
reau OF Information has been called TO the
fact that q notice has appeared In several
newspapers of the State calling q meeting OF
the State Union 10 be held In Columbia on
December 18Th.
AS the above notice has no name or au.
thority attached TO 1t, the origin OF this call
was rather puzzling until 1t leaked out that
just one man had promoted the call and the
worst feature OF this affair Ia that the man
who claims the responsibility for this call is
O stranger In the State, whose conduct since
he has got In the union, and bis afhllatlons
and his work before are among that very
class Of speculative or slick duck class that
the union was organized to put out OF bust
ness.
Now this Bureau has taken the position
from the beginning Of this disturbance among
Its officials, that nothing short ola regularly
in full lccord with the constitution would
ever sei&le this question satisfactorily.
But wa protest against following the lead OF
any such a self-inaugurated stray bell wealth.
insist and demand that this call be made
through the officials In regular order, In &C
cordapce with the constitution.
III 1t is constitutional for one man to get up
a conspiracy among q few designing men TO
unhorse the whole official head OF the Union,
constitution out, or we will be subject TO an
eternal guerilla warfare in the Union, and
| when We meet In Columbia again for the pur.
pose Of restoring peace, good order and mar
mony within the Union some defeated aspi:
rant for position may 60 right back home and
repeat the same disturbance that We are now
trying to calm. .
Brethren, we need all our combined and
united strength to fight our enemies. and
never fail to pin yonr faith 10 leaders from
among your ranks, who are we'll known,
faithful competent men for each every
position Of trust.

FARMERS union BUREAU.
Our Cotton Letter.

No doubt about 1t, hat the recent panic
made to order, on Wall street for the
purpose OF bearing down the price Of cotton.
n this Is not true please tell Just why this
thing did not come of until just at the right
time 10 force the weak cotton on the market
at ruinouR prices.
Henry Grady said that cotton was q fool;
but we are OF the opinion that men that put
too much faith In cotton are the fools who
are now passing through perhaps the tough
est trials of their experience with more cotton
than they are able TO hold easily. Several
men are selling corn, pork, wheat and oats to
pay their debts with In the Carolinas and
Georgia and holding on to their cotton like
grim death to q dead Niger"
Boys keep cool and don't waivG; for 1t is
said that the darkest hours OF the night are
Just before day. The water is deep and may
get up TO your nose. bnt hold your breath and
wade on clear over, for the water and way
are clear and the bottom is firm.
Beyond doubt there is an attempt among
some OF the officials of the Union to suppress
some Information Of vital interest to the well
fare OF the Union from its members. This
we condemn as an unfair act for the mem
bers, the Union should hear both sides Of all
Justice = all and thus defend the equitable
principles OF the Union.
All such attempts to suppress Information
from the mem bership OF the Union, and 60
Ing cut on a still nun for personal interest
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT. will react against such
them.
tablish every allegation set forth in this COM
mupicatlon and will turn II into the Union
at the proper time and place.

Superinteudent Simpson.

Division Superin tendent, OF the southern
lrailroad, Mr.. Il. r. Simpson made q short
VISIT TO our city Monday.
MIR. Simpson Is on the rond about five days
out OF each week. working for the harmony
of his road and the people. He keeps his ear
close TO the ground. While he is faithful In
the service of the road he manifests an evi-
dent desire and purpose to keep the friend
ship Of the people for his road.
Superintendent Simson Is a man OF large
experience IN r~ailroading and he is looking
after the improvement Of his track and the
making OF schedule time. New heavy weight
Irons ore being laid over the entire main line
of the c. & G. and the Abbeville Branch has
been laid with new iron with the exception
OF one and a half miles.
II is said that more money was spent by
the Southern road In South Carolina.
last year, in Improvements barring the
work lone on double track, than In any
other State, Of course this Is not all due to
the work OF active Superintendent, but IS
partly in recognition OF the States friendly
attitude toward railroads. While the State
undertakes 10 control It's railroad service, and
hold the roads to the mark as II would It's
citizens, 1t has never shown a disposition to
Cypress.
We ale not sufficiently In informed 10 express
an opinion on the conduct of other States In
cutting down the fare to two cents per mile,
but we do know that such legislation should
not be undertaken hurriedly or illadvised
Southern States. comparatively speaking,
are thinly populated, and passenger business
is SO small, that 1t Is doubtful If the roads
could maintain 1t, except at a loss. What
ever the facts may be, the roads should not
be looked upon as public enemies but rather
az being one with the Stale. They are the
avenues OF trade, and while our laws should
hold them open to the fullest and freest ser
vice OF the humblest citizen. they are entitled
TO a legitimate profit for their service.

By request Of Union members the chair
men of the committee on the order has made
a very careful investigation OF the cause or
the recent friction among the officials OF the

that lust one or Two men In the Union are re-
spousibie for the whole trouble and that these
men are veritable wolves In Sleeps clothing
within the Farmers Union.
AS IL would be un fair TO publish the names
OF these two men as traitors and deserters be-
fore thew nave been tried and condemned,
the members OF tho Union will have to use
their own judgment as to who they are.
