There is much agitation at this
time about repeating the lien
law, a law which came near be-
ing repealed at the last session of
the general assembly, and prob
ably would have been wiped off
the statute books had those pro.
Tossing to want the lien law re-
pealed acted with consistency.
To repeal the lien law, and per
NIT the law to remain allowing a
mortgage Of the growing crop,
strikes US as the sheerest non
sense. 1t is deception pure and
simple, it is complying with the
politicians view of public senti.
ment, and at the same time keep
ing upon the statute books a law
which is virtually the same.
Repeal the lien law is a popular
political cry, it meets with the
approval ard acclaim of the
masses, aud therefore majority
of the politicians favor it, but
when they are asked to repeal
with the lien law whcih has be-
come so obnoxious, the section
permitting the mortgage of the
growing crop they haltand make
excuses. We contend that it is
a waste of time, and a triffiing
with legislation to repeal section
3059 which provides for ad-
vances, and not repeal section
3O05 which provides for a mort
gage of the crop for one year.
If the advocates of repeating the
lien law are convinced that labor
conditions would be bettered;
and that the interests of agricul-
ture generally would be enhanc-
ed, then let them agree to make
invalid any law which allows a
lien or mortgage upon that
which has no existance at the
time the lien or mortgage is ex-
ecuted. If this is not done,
then in our judgment, the simple
repeal Of the lien law is a hum,
bug.

lawyer, a gentleman Of conspic-
uously pure and upright conduct"
nor do We intend to initiate that
''he could be biased as a judge
to favor a corporation," but we
do say that Hon. T. P. Cothran
IS like other gentleman ::of con-.
spicuously pure and upright con.
duct" who are largely Influenced
by their training, and, as Mr..
Cothran was born and reared in
the services of the Southern Rail
road, it is but natural for him to
see the frequent injustice done
by juries in the many damage
suits against that corporation.
The News and Courier's comment
contains several punches in the
back: for instance, it says: In
our opinion the supplanting OF a
second rate Judge by a lawyer
who towers head and shoulders
above him is not worth the shock
that the whole system feels IRON
the formers defeat: and this OF
course. without reference to the
brewing contest between Mr.. ga
~ and Nj. Cothran. IF there was
reference to the brewing con-
test between Mr.. Gary and Mr..
Cothran" in the insinuation that
Cothran is "a lawyer who towers
head and shoulders above" Gary,
why make the allusion at all?
We respect Mr.. Cothran's ability
as a lawyer, but we do not ad-
nit he is Q more profound law
yer than Judge Gary.
The News and Courier's edi-
torial which we reproduce above
in full, would not have factional-
ism revived,yet, it takes out from
its closet without rhyme er rea-
son an old political skeleton to
remind the legislators that in
sthe brewing contest between
Mr.. Gary and Mr.. Cothran" that
''the late Hon. Samuel MCGOWAN

THE BEAUFORT SENATOR IS RIGHT.

The interview in yesterdays
News and Courier with Senator
Neils Christensen of Beaufort
voices the views Of a great many
who heretofore We're opposed to
local option. He does not favor
a change in the CareyCothran
Act at this session of the general
assembly, nor do we, in fact, it
would, to pass a general prohi
bition bill at this session be bad
faith.
In the last primary the issue
was clear and distinct Local Op-
ton or State Dispensary, there
were some wanted to inject the
prohibition issue but they were
discouraged by Prohibitionists,
and throughout the State the 10:
cal option candidates were sup.
ported by Prohibltionists. Local
option won the fight, and the
general assembly gave to the
people what was promised: now
to go back on their work by des-
troying the Cary -Cothran Act,
or even changing the law so as to
reverse the election burden would
be unfair also, especially when
the voters Of the State are to have
the opportunity of voting on the
prohibition issue so soon.
We are opposed to a general
prohibition law under present
conditions, and as we have time
and again said a prohibition law
without a healthy public senti-
ment in it's favor would retard
the cause of temperance rather
than. advance it. therefore we
think the general interests of the
State would be better served, by
enacting a law at the coming ses-
sion of the legislature ordering a
general election to be held at the
usual time for general elections,
requiring the commissioners OF
elections to provide a separate
box and tickets with the word
"County Dispensary, License
Prohibition printed thereon and
giving each county the system
a majority of its voters signify
by their vote.
Then let the State Democratic
executive committee make a SIM
liar provision for the general
primary all candidates for office
pledged to abide the result, this
plan would insure a full express
sion Of the people in the primary
and where a county has given an
expression in the primary against
the sale of liquor, let the legis
lature empower the sheriff to
Immediately close the dispensary
and keep it closed until its re-
shall be ordered by the
court. The great COM
plant against the present law is
the keeping open of dispcnsaries
upon technical grounds, after a
majority vote has been declared
against it. The plan we suggest
would remedy this, and it would
also have the backingof the peo
pie, under present conditions
the votes at these elections are
very light, and they really do not
give positive assurance that the
sentiment is expressed: hence!ln
such counties, in our Judgment
prohibition must provea failure.
