The Lien Law.

After the stand the Union has taken
on the lien law it will be hard for a
Union man to vote for man for the
house or the senate who will not pledge
himself to vote for the repeal of that
inlquitous law. When the farmer calls
for the repeal of the lien law he also
calls for the repeal of the crop mort
gage. He does not care to have one
killed without the other. With the
crop mortgage left the politician hopes
to be able to satisfy the farmer who
demands the repeal of the lien law.
He will tell him that he has worked for
the repeal of that law, while he tells
the merchant that he stood by him in
keeping the crop mortgage. Both must
go. If candidate does not care TO
vote for the repeal of these laws, that
is his privilege. The Union members
have some privileges. 'NuT sed.

Only Certain Amount of Work Can be

Clifford Seminary discoufages both
the skimming and the craming method
of study.
The time -honorcd college curriculum
IL followed. English and mathematics
stand first on the list.
A thOrough knowledge Of these two
branches is insisted on because they are
of the greatest practical value in all
' life work and because they form the
, ,nIy solid Solid foundation for good
81 'hGiarship.
w this foundation is based a thor
ough business course that fits a girl for

Rural Mail.
w. d. S.

R'E4 y Fl 4, Stf;E;F;shH%& h%E;E.+;. 1888
Country people have always been neg
ligent about sending to the post office
for their mail, and now the rural routes
are bringing the mail right to their
doors, which stimulates them to take
more papers for the use of their fami-
lies and to keep up their routes to the
average number of mail pieces per
month. Our post Office inspectors in
locating these mail routes looked for
ward to getting the mail to and from
the railroad and made no provision for
these routes to exchange mail one with
the other. Many of them run within
fourth of mile to one mile of each
other and don't exchange mails. Coun-
try people wish to write to each other
and have quick delivery of their letters
to their kindred and friends, which is
impossible under the present system.
Take, for instance Mr.. Moore at
Princeton has important business with
DR.. Gikerson, one mile distant. Mr..
Simpsons route stops at Gilkerson's.
Mr.. Woods has to mail his letter at
Princeton, the rural carries it to Honca
Path, the railroad carries it to Ware
Shoals, Simpson takes it up there and
brings it around to Gilkerson. Suppose
Mr.. Woods writes to Sullivan at Tum-
bling Shoals -four miles has to
mail his letter at Princeton, it goes to
Honea Path, Greenwood, Laurens c.. II.
and Gray Court then by rural route to
Tumbling Shoals. Simpson and Abcr-
crombie routes run in three -fourths of
mile of each other, no exchange of
mails, so it runs all over Laurens
county. If we wish to communicate
with Laurens C. H. we write today,
Abercrombie takes it. tomorrow he de
livers to the Gray Court rider, who
takes it to the railroad. 1t takes just
about a week to write to Laurens C.. II.
and get an answer, thirteen miles dis
tant. Under our old system you knew
exactly where man lived by his post
office; now you know where he lives
but don't know his post Office. wish
to write to Will Harris at Young's
Store. don't know whether to write
him at Laurens C. H., Woodruff. Gray
Court or Fountain Inn. When | get
the office then the number of the route
must be sent also.
These are some of the faults of our
inspectors in locating our routes. There
should be perfect linking together of
all the routes in the county and ex-
change boxes put where these routes
meet eSeh other.

Initial Shinment on Saturday.

The rolling mill Of the Pennsylvania
Brake Beam company in this city has
started up and on Saturday the initial
shipment of product rolled in the mill
was made.
As explained in previous article
the rolling department had to be Who'll
ly re.equipped in order to turn out the
special shapes needed. An immense
amount of work was involved in re-
moving the old furnaces and rolls and
installing the new.
The rolling department now includes
one rail heating furnace, 20 by feet,
fred at both ends. in which bitumin-
Gus coal is used. Eighteen to twenty
standard rails of any length up to
twenty feet can be placed in the fur
mace at one time. the rails being oharg-
ed at the rear door and drawn from
the front
The furnace is twenty. feet
from the rolls, which are 3.high and
of twenty y-four inch size. The COM
pany mas Already successfully rolled
two of the three shapes used for brake
beam purposes, namely, 54-inch deck
and the 6-inch special reinforced oval
section.
On several occasions the rolling mill
has been started up running for day
or so at a time as the product might
be needed. The brake beams rolled
and shipped Saturday are part Of a
large order, the balance of which will
go forward as soon as it can be roll
ed.
There are now about twenty men
employed at the plant and the number
will be increased by the company as
fast as conditions warrant it.

ing which placed hls life Ia tpf.l auH

people standing on tho platform
The maB wa observe about tae
station during the day As soon as tie
train started up In leaving tie station
he was seeu 10 Jump upon the cow
catcher. where BE cluug, as tho train
increasing in speed moved down Co..
ward Church street
Bach moment it semed that he would
be unable to retain his hold and WOULD
roll down under the wheels The eng
ineer however, had observed the man
aud a. soon a. possible stopped the
train, when the reckless aud nightlv
fellow was dragged from his perch
The train started up again, but no
sooner had IL got in motion than the
Jolly hobo waving his hat at the crowd
and with laugh Of derision made a
dash for the train, mounting the bump
ers between the mail and the baggage
cars.
There was no platform on the car
and the bumpers afforded the only foot
hold that the man had. Some iron
work about the outside of the car,
however, gave him a support for his
hands aud thus he might have ridden
to Northumberland, If not to tipsy to
maintain his perch.
The conductor, however. saw the
fellow as he jumpeu on',the car and
signalled the engineer 10 stop. For
the second time the train was brought
to standstill and the tramp was
dragged from his perch The thing
was becoming slightly monotonous by
this time and in order to give the
train crew an opportunity to get away
couple OF bystanders seized the hobo
and held him until the train got at a
safe distance.
The tramp seemed we'll pleased with
the idea that he had thrilled the crowd
He was from the Philippine Islands,
he said, and was used TO such exploits
