proisess "a - Is this STATE, % n.
osivs payment OF any wages tia,
may be due for labor done, in
rsising, handling, saving, or
transporting Of such agricultural
products, and the persons to whom
such wages shall be due, shah have
he security OF such lien, as against
all landlords, sub-Iessors, and al
other persons interested in snch ag-
ricul,ural product This section
fully explains the relationship tina;
mus, exist to entitle the party touis
lien, that is a ldJorer Workaag for
pagcs, and unless the party occupies
this relationship he has no lien. The
tenth section says, THAT there shall
be, also, a irst lien on agricultural
products raised in this State, in favor
Ut every employer, as against every
lnborer employed by him, in the
production thereof, for all provisions,
clothing and necessary plantation
supplies, advanced 1r furnished, and
for money furnished for the pur-
chase Of the same, for and in bohali
Of said laborer while 50 employed,
to be enforced aud collected in the
same manner, and with tho same
penalties IN oil respects as is Prov.
ded in this act, for the enforcement
and collection of wages due to la
borers !" This being the
full text Of the act in reference to
creating the relation of employer,
Ii will be observed that the Ian.
guage Of the statute is for "tcages
that may be due for labor DONE"
and "in favor OF every employer as
against every ldborcr employed by
him. So that there can be no lien
in favor OF any party unless the re.
lnti)n OF "laborer and employer" OK
list, and not that of landlord and
tenant or joint tenants or partners.
II will be readily conceded that the
relationship of "employer and labor,
er" would exist if the contract was
for a certain sum in money to be paid
either daily, monthly, or at the end
Of the year, but the important qucs-
ton TO our PAINTERS ia as to whether
this relationship can be created
when the laboter is to receive a part
OF the crop as his "gdgesG "for his
tabor done" This Is a question that
would have to be settled upon each
state of facts presented, yet We are
of the opinion that such a relation,
ship cal, be created when the con
tract is for the laborer to receive a
certain part Of the crop. To create
this relationship, the contract would
have to show this fact, that the en-.
tire crop was the property OF the
planter, and that the laboror re-
ceived a certain portion thereof, not
as a share in a Joint partnership, or
joint tenancy, but for wages due" as
compensation for his "labor done
in raising, handling, savingcr trans.
porting snch agricultural product.
The term wages used is well
considered to mean a fixed amount
as compensation for services rem
dered, yet practice has given this a
broader application, and we think
that, if there was no ownership
whatever in the crop raised, by the
