LAURENS, S. C Jan. II,
The Cotton U rower*.
Tho low price of our Southern staple
is a matter of serious concern. We
sympathize with the growers of cot
ton because the great body of tho peo
ple of the State depend upon cotton
for a decent living; and second and
last because tho writer has always,
(and for no short time; depended upon
this staple for his necessaries and the
few luxuries ho has enjoyed He is
therefore heart and BOUl with the men
and women who are growing it. Every
Interest in the South indirectly de
pends upon cotton: but the grower
more than any other is vitally con
cerned. The problem of the low price
and J*OW to restore it to a remunera
tive ligure therefore should Interest
and have tho sympathy of every man,
bo ho lawyer, doctor, banker, mer
chant, politician, money lender, or
what not. \S'e regard any man a poor
citizen who poop . >s tho movement now
discussed to lind a remedy for tho
evil It la a difficult problem and
there are many obstacles. But with
our soil, climate, efficient la'>or and
groat staple monopoly we ought to be
independent and grow rieh. Wo hon
estly believe that there are artificial
dovices in exittonco which control the
price. If however a sensible ourse Is
pursuod the reckless rascals can be
circumvented. The South should raise
its own meat and bread. Ten Stat es
are enriched annually by our pur
chases of horses, mules, Hoar, meat
and lard. We can raise every hoof
and pound. Thore aro obstacles as wo
havo said, an 1 those are BOtno; the
non-resident land lord, who wants a
rent article convertible into cash: tho
pior man, white and colored, who pays
a rent and depends up in credit to get
his supplies. The bank and tho sup
ply raon usually ivly upon cotton. The
wide-awake lan liord and farmer should
soo to it that every pound of flour,
moat or corn consumed oi his lands
should b>3 raised thereon. There will
Still he an unthrifty man who will
ront a farm, come t > tho Court House,
buy a mulo for $125.00 credit, give a
mortgage on this and another critter
and his buggy and saddle and the next
November t'm crop will bo short and
all will go under tho hammer. These
must havo our sympathy, but they
will grow fewor and far between. The
remedy lies largely in the independent
farmer sotting tho example of show
ing a self-sustaining home In t e
meanwhile we are pursuaded that co
operation among the cotton growers
will find a remedy against the evil we
complain against. And hy the way, of
Course you will always he elbowed by
politlciaiis-.stiine fellow who wants an
Office; you must ox pee t him and ho Is
generaly a good fellow, but stand
with the cotton growers and let us do
our best.
V
The Lieu Law.
By this phrase is usually understood
the Agricultural Lien Law, by which
a person pledges his crop to ssoure
payment for money or supplies to be
advanced in the future and used in
making a crop. The law was proposed
by a farmer of Marlboro county
thirty-two year- ago. Every now and
thon when times jret crooked there is a
proposition to repeal. Twenty years
ago It was repealed to take etfect 12
months in advance and when the next
Legislature met it repealed the re
pealing Act. Tho proposition is again
discussed. We doubt the expediency of
it. Tho landlord now by law has the
first lien for bis rent; the laborer comes
next and this WOuUVseeill to he right,
Thore are many poor men w ho depend
upon credit and canjt go to the Banks.
These must have sono consideration.
The law might ke amended or
modified so as to provide that a
fraction, as a fourth of all agricul
tural products, shffllld be exempt
from lions or nfprtgagOti ante
codently given. The subject will be
discussed by tho prc*tnt Legislature,
but wo anticipate, no change. Legisla
tors as a rule nrc "tenderfoots," and
will bo slow to ohingea policy appar
ently engrafted upon otr agricultural
system But n > law of 'the 'kind will
bo made to effect tho oujrcnt year.

Excitement in Colombia*
Sineo the "Hop" Incident in Char

tion. Last summer, n I'.oa Constrlotor,
13 feet long escaped from a traveling
menagerie. Tho Bnake was found In
a cellar on Monday last and the alarm
given. Interest spread throughout tho
town and threo stalwart gentlemen af
ter a great battle secured and cagod
the monster. He was put in a show case
and tho announcement is made that
thousand* visited and took a look at
the reptile. Two things are cloar:
First, that some side show visiting
that city wai badly slighted. Second,
the State is in luck that a "bad citi
