Wk hare been asked " to write op" the section of Ansoorille road near th iron bridge. Now what's th uvo f Thk Iislature has finally set tle! the date for holding the state election on the question of prohi bition. The bill as now passed, provide that the election shall be held on the Jth of May. 190. Tho bill, whether ratified or not by the voters of the state, will not rfiVct Anson county, as it does not apply to prohibition territory. A Hami.kt correspondent to the Charlotte Obserrer makes bole to say that with the new liquor law IkvsoI for Richmond county s few day atfo. similar to the one 1 for this county, blind timers in that cunt3- can certainly be broken up. It is gratify inj? to note that Richmond county Is tak ing wra' steps to break up the t rathe for which she is well-nih famous. We hoj that the new law will It first tried on the sec tion f county on the Iee lV?e rier not far f rorn li rassy Island. )i k of Marshrille wants the Ijeislature to repeal the lien law of this sUte which was passed shortly after the civil war in the hope that it would U of benefit to families with broken fortunes. IiM:uvini: the question, it says: If it nxht 1 rrpr t rrinor th lienor temptation, wbr not alio re mow th infinitum lin law in the in'.rr't of th man who h auch an l'tt!

This practice, d as it is, will l hanl to reme dy until our people learn to live at home and not depend on the western farmer for everything thev eat ami on the New England Yankee for the clot)e3 they wear. Is another column is printed a t op.v of the Anson rounty prohi bition bill introduced in tle House by Representative Ixjckhart a few las aj;o and which became a law Thursdsy. The bill was intioduced at the rruest of a number of citiiens of the county, all of whom are not avowed prohibition Uts. The law is very thorough in its provisions and if properly enforc ed, this county will lie treated to a trial of genuine prohibition. The law tassed at the last session of the legislature ami ratified by a Vote f the op!e last August, did not limit the quantity of whis key that miirht le kept by any firm or cororation. nor did it provide any means whereby suspi cious quarters might be searched. The present Iatv as passed by Mr. Ix:khart. provides that no person a a or nrm maj weep cm nami more than one gallon of whiskej and gives officers of the law the right to search where reasons are suffi cient. It further makes it prima facie evidence that holders of Fed eral licenses are guilty of retailing. Heretofore, persons who wished to conduct blind tigers in open de fiance of the local authoritites. procuted Federal license to shield them from the United States Uw in case they should be indicted. It is especially gratifying to note the manner in which the best peo ple of. this county are uniting themselves in an effort to enforce the liquor laws of the county, re gardless of the way they may hare stood in the past. Mr. Lockhart Creates . Sensation In House 'Saturday before tho II.uc of neprewutirea adjourned. Anson's representative, Mr. Jas- A. rock hart, created qnited a sensation by an attsck upn the federal jadge of the tfate. A reporter for tlie Daily Industrial News of Greene bores the leading republican paper of the state, aent iu a report which was headed, UA mazim? Attack Made on Fed eral J udgcsr7 - ' The entire report is too lonjr to print but the following is taken trom it: One of the federal judge in this state, it was asserted, had been a Kn Klux and a perjurer, while another, it was declared, wonld not par his jost debts. Judge Pritcb ard was at tick by name, and it was this strange attack tbst brought down upon the head of the pe3Ker inch unreserved condemnation. lie averted tlut the jqdge bad been influenced in hi otticial con duct bj the fact that Mr. lSoIlins, his sou-iu-law, is a member of the Uw firm of Moore or Kollins, the divfion counsel of the Southern at Abbeville. And then casting stide all restraiot, he mide the assertion and this is where confusion be came worse confonnded thatJndge Pritchird had got control of, or fccured' the majority 4ock in certain rock quarry near Asbevffle; tliat lie liaa m?enrea missioeic wun- ont hain? paid anything therefor and then sold hi interest to the Stntheni IUilwar Company. -The writer understood Ixkhart axrt that .lodge Prif chard got $2,IXK from the Southern for tliU intercut in the rock qnarrr. When the news uf the attack reached Ashevillc, Judge Pritch ard home, the bar ajwociation of the citv of which ho i a meralxrr. immediitelv drafted resolutions testifying fo hi good character and among other things said: " e, inembers of the Asheville lr neiglibcr of Judge.

We are sitisticd tha. Mr. Ixckhart has leen iniinform-el- Mr. Lockhirt and Ileproentativc Laogliinghouie made the attaek jointly, but it seein that Anion's rcnrescntaHve was alone in ight when the News editorial came out Sunday morning It, too, h a lengthy article and we take the fol lowing from it: "Now. as to Iockhsrt of Anon: It u not our purrvwc to subiect him to abuse. In the light of the explanatory dispatcti from Asheville lat night, malting it plain that Judge Pritchard had done nothing improper, his ca?e i seen to be one winch must oe viwel rather in sorrow than in anger. The fellow must lie mentally opaque and mor ally oblique. Ileinut postiess an alleged mind that is predisioecd to liear false witness against his neigh- oors. ine charge wnicn ne ha made against Judge Pritchard will live a long while in the memory of tle people of this state.
