MIsUHDERsTooD.-W assume that no
member Of the legislature from this or
any other county would maliciously or
wilfully vote for any law which he knew
would result in harm, or which was
contrary to the public demand.
We think the vote to repeal the lien
law came about in this way. A meet
ing Of the Farmers Union was held IN
Columbia, which meeting OF oncers
adopted resolutions favoring the repeal.
The legislators mistaking that meeting
to be a. representative body, was Will
ing 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 interests or the poor
man consulted once? Did any man eX-
plain why a poor man should not nave
a 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
exnIain Why he should control the
man to whom he rents his land?
The editor Of the Press and Banner
does not believe that any representa-
tive in the legislature would willingly
discourage or cripple any poor man IN
his effort to support his family. Neith-
er do we believe that any representative
would seek to subject one white man
to another's arbitrary control.
OF course the demand Of landowners
for the repeal Of the lien law was IN
tended as a blow to the negro. but that
blow would be more effectively humil-
iating to the white renter, some or
whom at least. are as good and as hon
est as those who would oppress them

WHY LYON WENT TO ATLANTA
Fraser Lyon ought to be accustomed to
criticism by this time: he has had to
undergo worse things than criticism In
his brief, but interesting career. Now
the papers which do not want him TO
succeed are criticising him for going
10 Georgia to get lawyers to assist MIN
in the dispensary mess. They say there
are plenty Of lawyers in South Carolina
just as able and just as brilliant as lit
tie Tom Fielder. Perhaps there are.
There are mighty smart lawyers III
South Carolina. and some of the smart
est of them are now retained by the very
men Lyon is after, and some Of the 9TH
er smart ones are representing whisky
houses 'having claims against the dis
pensary. And some other smart ones
have in politics been the defenders Of
the same dispensary. But all Of that Is
by the way. The fact Is that South
Carolina Is state of no large cities,
and il has only one skyscraper in its
borders, while Atlanta is one OF the
largest cities in the south and has many
skyscrapers. What have skyscrapers
to do with it? Just this: That such
nrmS as feluer ;, III Atithta, hor0
machinery for obtaining evidence which
no law firm in South Carolina has. In
large cities you will find means and or
ganizations and facilities which you
will not find in South Carolina. In
stead of frittering his time away, ana
the states money, on little things, Lyon
has gone after some one who can help
him produce results. With the basis OF
the work done by himself and Christen-
sen, Lyon has put Felder's machinery
to work and you know the rest. He is
asking the general assembly now to put
aside from the dispensary surplus
sum sufficient to carry on the prosecu-
tions contemplated; there will be no
appropriation and the money Will not
come out of the taxpayers pocket, out
out Of the dispensary funds. H.

- Washington, February 5; Conclud-
ing the appearance of navy officials be-
fore the house committee on naval af-
fairs, Secretary Metcalf today asked for
an appropriation of S73.770,0O0 for con-
struction and converting Of war yes
sells. While no vote has been taken
nor has sentiment in the committee
crystalized, the impression prevails that
the secretarys estimate will be reduced
materially. possibly to the limit of $4O,-
OO0, 900, in accord with the policy or
economy and retrenchment felt to be
necessary in the face Of an impending
deficit and the prospect Of reduced rev.
enues throughout the coming hscal
wear. The secretary urged upon the
committee the necessity Of authorizing
the construction Of four battleships to
cost $3S,000,O00 for all; four scout cruis-
ers at $1O.0O0OOO; ten destroyers at
$500, ,000 four submarines at $1,52O,-
900; one ammunition ship. s1,75O,OOO;
one repair ship, $2,O00,0OO; two mine
laying ships (cruisers to be converted
and equipped) at $5,O00,000, and four
fleet golfers at s7,000,000. Matters OF
alleged defective construction Of battle
ships and the hospital ship controversy
were not touched upon by either the
secretary or the committee.

CHARGE FRAUDS
New York Democrats Say Reg
istratiOn Rolls Are Padded

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Charges were
made today by William J. Connors,
chairman of the democratic state COM
mittee, that the republican organiza-
tions in upstate counties had padded
the registration rolls with from 10000
TO 10000 names, and to prevent the
casting Of alleged fraudulent votes the
executive committee had appointed
a state law committee, with former
Judge Alton B. Parker as chairman.
Connors said that the law committee
would be composed Of 500 attorneys
and that on election day these attor-
neys would be assisted by special dep
uties in each election district to see
that ballots were honestly cast and
counted. COnnors said:
There will be no voting of dead
men by the republicans in this election
and the state committee will see that
our opponents are not permitted to run
men over from Pennsylvania and Can
ada and vote them in this state AL
ready we have discovered hundreds of
cases of fraudulent registration up
state and have succeeded in having the
names stricken from the lists"
National Chairman Mack said tonight
that the change in Judge Taft's plans
by which he will speak in "a cities and
towns in this state. instead OF in only
few Of the larger cities. as previously
announced. indicated that the republic
an managers felt the supreme necessity
