Suppose that the abscissa of absolute convergence \(\sigma^F_a\) of the Laplace-Stieltjes transform \[ F(s)= \int^{+\infty}_0 e^{-sx} d\alpha(x)\qquad (s= \sigma+ it) \] be \(-\infty\) or \(0\), where the function \(\alpha(x)\) is complex-valued and of bounded variation in \([0,R]\) for any \(R> 0\). Define \[ M(\sigma, F)= \sup\{| F(\sigma+ it)|\mid t\in\mathbb{R},\;\sigma> \sigma^F_a\}. \] According to \(\sigma^F_a= -\infty\) or \(0\), the lower order of \(F(s)\) is defined as \[ \tau= \varliminf_{\sigma\to-\infty} [\ln^+\ln^+M(\sigma, F)/(-\sigma)]\quad\text{or}\quad\tau= \varliminf_{\sigma\to+ 0} [\ln^+\ln^+M(\sigma, F)/(-\ln\sigma)]. \] Suppose that the positive increasing sequence \(\{\lambda_n\}\) verifies \(\varlimsup_{n\to\infty} (\lambda_{n+ 1}-\lambda_n)< \infty\) and in the case \(\sigma^F_a= -\infty\), \(\lim(\ln n/\lambda_n)< \infty\), while in the case \(\sigma^F_a= 0\), \(\varlimsup_{n\to\infty} (n/\lambda_n)< \infty\). Let \[ \widetilde A_n=\sup\bigl\{\bigl|\int^x_0 e^{-ity}d\alpha(y)\bigr|\mid x\in(\lambda_n, \lambda_{n+ 1}],\;t\in\mathbb{R}\bigr\}. \] Construct a Newton polygon \(\pi(F)\) whose vertices are in the set \(E= \{(\lambda_n,-\ln\widetilde A_n)\}\) \((n\in\mathbb{N})\), while the remaining points in \(E\) are either on or above \(\pi(F)\). Let the intersection of \(\pi(F)\) and the line \(x= \lambda_n\) be \((\lambda_n, -\ln\widetilde A^c_n)\). The author proves that in the case \(\sigma^F_a= -\infty\), \(F(s)\) is of lower order \(\tau\) if and only if \[ \varliminf_{n\to\infty} [\ln\widetilde A^c_n/\lambda_n\ln \lambda_{n- 1}]= -1/\tau \] and that in the case \(\sigma^F_a= 0\), under the condition \[ \varliminf_{\sigma\to +0} [\ln^+ \ln^+ \ln^+M(\sigma, F)/(-\ln \sigma)]= 0, \] \(F(s)\) is of lower order \(\tau'\) if and only if \[ \varliminf_{n\to\infty} [\ln^+ \ln^+\widetilde A^c_n/\ln\lambda_n]= \tau'/(1+ \tau'). \] These are extensions of corresponding results for Dirichlet series [Wuhan Univ., J. Nat. Sci., 1, No. 1, 1-8 (1996)].
