''Tho most memorable, in some

to which Gibraltar has been subject

Gibraltar, but Swedish ship gavo
Elliott the alarm. The garrison
comprised but five companies Of

teen thousand. The siege began by
tho blocIiading of the port, and u
camp was formcdnt San Rogue with
the design of starving out tho gar
rison. When the English governor
resolved to open iiro upon his
bcsiogcrs, lady in tho garrison
fired the first shot. Never did u
siege war rage moro furiously than
did this for nearly three years. Tho
garrison was often reduced to soro
straits for food: "a goose was
worth guinea" and Elliott tried
upon himself tho experiment of
living upon four ounces Of rice u day
for u week. Exciting stories arc
told of tho privatccrs that ran in,
amidst terrible dangers, with pros
visions, and of tho storms which
threw welcome wood and cork with

Three New Laws.
ovor gOlle.

Among tho acts passed by the
Legislature that most directly affect
tho farmers, nro tho foncc law, tho
repeal Of tho lien law, and the act
preventing tho salo Of seed cotton
between sunset and sunrise.
Tho question of fcnco or no fcnco
is loft with tho voters Of each coun.
.ty, and tho no fcnco party will
doubtless carry all tho upper com
tics and agricultural counties Of tho
middle bolt. Tt has long been needed
md tho abolition Of tho present law
cannot too soon take place. When
tho timo Of voting is ordered by the
county commissioners, tho friends
of tho change should mako an active
canvass in its behalf. Some opposi.
ton to tho change is said to exist,
but wo believe it arises moro from
mistakun ideas, and awant of inform
alton than anything else, and II
dair presentation Of tho matter on it's
morris will win over tho present op
pononts.
Tho lion law will be abolished in
january, and farmers then will bc
compelled to seek advances on the
strength of their private credit.
Those who aEo prompt in mcoting
their obligations will experience no
difficulty under tho change. Those
who havo heretofore ondcnyorcd to
evado obligations will not faro SO
woll. Under tho lion law, tho indus
tlous farmer carries along with him
tho thriftloss. Tho merchant char
,ges hoavy percentage on all his
custimers in order to save him from
loss. He losos enough to destroy
his theoretical profits, while tho in
dnstrlous farmor has to pay his OK,
horbitant interest. The merchant
ondoavors to balance off his good
against his bad customors.
1t has boon charged that the lien
law has been a curse. Tho people
noxt year will DO ablo to iudcc
whether the law was curse or d
blessing. Its abolition will have
tendency to centralizo labor, and
cause tho introduction OF fewer and
larger farms.
OF the 'sood cotton law, no praise
'can bo too high. Tho illicit traffic
in cotton has beon M unmitigated
