Arkansas Guard to Go to Kansas.

Adj. Gen. Paul Little of the Arkan- sas National Guard has received let ter from the War Department head quarters at Washington, D. G., to the effect that the expense of moving a regiment of the Arkansas guard to Leon Springs, Tex, to engage in man. euvers under the direction of the War Department, would be too costly at the estimate made by Maj. Jett, and that instead, the deparment would send a regiment of Arkansas state guard to Fort Riley, Kan. to partici- pate in maneuvers there under the di- rection of the War Department. The date for the encampment at Fort Riley, between September 20 and 30, is satisfactory to Adj. Gen. Little, and there is now no doubt that a regiment of Arkansas guard will be in the Fort Riley encampment. What regiment will attend has not been decided. The estimate of the cost of moving a regi- ment to Fort Riley, maintaining it there and moving it back to Arkansas, will be prepared at once by Maj. Jett.

We assume that no member OF the Legis.
lature from this or any other county would
maliciously or wilfully vote for any law
which he knew would result in harm, OF
which was contrary 10 the public demand
We think the vote to REPEAL the lien law
ca me about in this way. A meeting OF the
Farmers Union was theld in Columbia
W hich meeting Of officers adopted resolu
tlons favoripg the repeal. The legislators.
mistaking that meeting 10 be representa-.
tives body, was willing to respect the public
demand. But what OF the delegates to the
farmers meeting that adopted the resolutions,
asking for the repeal Of the lien law? Was
there a poor man in the crowd? Was there
any but landowners in that body? Was
there renter in that meeting? Was the in
terest of the poor man consulted once? Did
any man explain why q poor man should
not have q fair chance to get bread and credit?
Did any man in that farmers meeting urge
the curtailment of the credit Of any but the
poor? Did any landowner :explain why he
should control" the man to whom he rents
his land?
The editor OF the Press and Banner does
n OF believe that any representative in the
leg islature would willingly discourage or
cripple any poor man in his effort to support
his family. Neither do we believe that any
representative would seek to subject one
white man to anothers arbitrary control
or course the demand OF landowners for
the repeal Of: the lien law was intended as a
blow to the negro, but that blow would be
more effectively humiliating 10 the white
renter, some Of whom at leasti are as good
and as honest as those who would oppress
them.

The Wrinkle of Laughter.


What hair he has is very thin and gray;
His eyes are sometimes filled with bitter
teara,
And when you see him on his weary way
You wonder how he carries all his
years.
He is 80 old, so old and filled with pain
One marvels at the spirit he displays:
Yet from those eyes there flashes once
again
days,
And ever, when you greet him, you will
see
Upon his face a smile from worry free!
There are a hundred wrinkles on his
Scars left by Father Time from battles
grim
Yet there is one which does deserve its
place,
And, wrinkle that it is, 1t honors him.
Tis long and deeply marked, and some
might say
It marred that strong old face. That Is
not so!
It is the badge of laughter: day by day
He saw the happy side and made 1t
Though life has been no joke to him, he's
The value of a laugh-and passed 1t
round
In years to come, when I am old and
gray,
One hope have-that men may say OF
me:
The wrinkles that he has we would not
change.
The cheerful side Of life he helped US
see!

Fine Cotton.

Mr.. q. Wilkinson had two bales of cot
ton ginned at the oil mill last Monday, the
lint OF which seems to this editor to be much
above the average first class lints. Mr.. Will
kinson owns and lives on the farm formerly
owned by Mr.. Dusenbury. two miles north OF
Abbeville adjoining the Long Cane Church
property. He informs Us that be made 900
lbs of lint on one acre. He used 200 lbs cot.
ton seed meal and acid per acre. The lfni
turned out forty five per cent Of the gross
weight OF the seed cotton. Mr.. Wikinson
has 10 seed for sale. "a.
AS proof that Mr.. Wilkinson is q good far
mer, he cites the fact that he beats Mr. Chap
man his neighbor. who doesn't make over
five hundred pounds Of ordinary lint cotton
to the acre. Mr.. Wilkinson hopes Mr.. Chap.
man knows that he is as truthful man as
here is in Abbeuille County. MIR. Chapman
b esays is sort ofa town farmer, who could
n OF make more with two hundred dollar
mule than he could make with milk COW.

Getting Close to Uncle Joe.

For several years an effort has been made
To psss law for the protection OF the forest
on the Appalachian. White Mountain range
The Importance OF such Legislation has been
urged by the strongest delegations from all
the States affected. The necessity for 1t has
become apparent to every ONE who kpows
anything OF the subject; but Speaker Cannon
has been blocking the game for everybody.
1t remained for Congressman Aiken TO get
Uncle Joe to let up in his opposition. Hav-
Ing called TO the Speakers attention the al
most overwhelming sentiment 10 the House
in favor OF such q measure. and having urged
the necessity for some such action. the old
legislative veteran consented to allow the bill
to come up. There is little doubt that II this
promise IL carried out the bill will pass. This
Bill means great deal to the manufacturing
interests of South Carolina as we'll as to the
land owners living along the waterways.

One-Third to School.

Representative F. B. Gary introduced and
secured the passage Of a bill dividing the dis
pensary fund: One.lhlrd toschools, one-third
to the county, and one-third to the town OF
Abbevil!e. There is no doubt but that Sena.
tor Croydon will get the bill through the
Senate. 1t is now estimated that there will
be no additional tax levy for the Court
house. On the other hand the levy will prob
ably be reduced half q mill.
The dispenser. Mr.. ]. e. Jones. estimates
that the profit OF the dispenssry will be
sss 600 this year, instead Of 10000 last year.
This increaae is due to the increased demand
for liquor that comes from Georgia and from
dry counties In this State.
Fifteen thousand dollars additional Tor the
schools will be Of great help to that depart
ment OF the government.

Why the Repeal?

While we are not convinced that II is
fact yet we have heard 1t ohirped that the
cotton mill men are at the back OF the enort
TO repeal the lien law, and that they are cup
porting that faction OF the landowners who
want TO control" somebody. 1fa few land:
owners can induce the Legislature to place
such a stigma upon poor white men as would
force them to the cotton mills. tho Idle ma
chinery Of the State could be set In motion at
once. II self respecting white men are forced
to the Gotten mills. and II the landowner
could control" the negroes we would have

white man and enslaue the triflng negro.

No Honest Man.

Senator Tillman and some others think
that the lien law will affect no honest man,
and that the other sort of men need no aid or
help. The presumption is that all those who
give liens now do so because they have moth.
Ing else to put up as collateral, and they do
1t not from choice but from necessity.
We think 1t pretty broad assertion
to charge all lieners with dishonesty. And
we think IT hard beyond description for
any man to put stigma upon poor men by
refusing them the right to give lien where
by the needed goods may be had 10 secure the
making OF crop. The lien law doesn't 60
like roaring lion seeking victims. and GER
tainly hurts nobody that dislikes the law or
does not need 1t.

pronosed Labor Contract Laws.

PrOposed Labor Contract Laws.
Two bills are pending in the State Legisla
ture. one In the Senate and one IN the House
proposing to remedy the defect In the Labor
Contract law declared unconstitutional by
the United States Court.
Doubtless both Of th ese bills have been ably
digested by experienced lawyers and iegis'a
tors, and 1t Is possible that II one of.them II
enacted into law, the United States Cour
may be circumvented. Speaking as 9 lay
man the Press and Banner does not see how
the changed wording changes the force OF ar
act when the underlying principle Is TIE
same.
The former act was declared unconstitution
al because the penalty for often ding against Il
amounted to i'm prison ment for debt. which Il
Is alleged, Is directly at variance with thu
constitution OF the United States. The pro
posed bills make the penalty for offepse, INT
and Imprisonment. Fine for what? 1mprls
onment for what? Clearly for accepting ad
vances, incurripg q debt. and refusing tt
make payment by fulflment OF contract
Then II the former contract law could not b'
sustained because the penalty was construed
to mean Imprisonment for debt, is not thi
subject to the same defect?
II Is true that In both the proposed bills 1t II
sought 10 make the violation OF the con
tract misdemeanor by statute. But stat
ute proclaiming certain conduct to be mis-
demeanor is effectnal only when the princi
pie underlying is not repugnant to the con
stitutions of the State and the United States
That man should fulfill his contract, tina
he should pay bis debt, there is no doubt, bu
does the contract TO labor differ from an!
other contract and does the promise 10 pay II
labor differ from any other promise to pay
All other promises TO pay can be collected
only by civil process, and 1t is not likely tha
the courts would make an exception Of this.
Realizing that the man with property cal
be forced to comply with his contract b.
civil process, and that civil process Is inei
fectual when applied 10 the rank and file o
the ,Iaboring class, 1t does seem that ther
should be some method Of holding them L
performance. But what the Federal Cour
should do and what 1t has done are differen
propositions. 1t has declared a contract t
labor to be a simple debt, and that the labor
er can not be imprisoned for failure to pay
If fhe proposed bills contain any new princi
pie we have not discovered 1t.
