THE LIEN law NOT DISTURBED.

The bill repeating section 4, chapter
120, Of the general Statutes, has been
thought by some, who have not looked
into the matter C loosely, to seriously
disturb the Lien Law. But this is not so.
The section alluded to is on page $40 of
the General Statutes, and reads as fol-
lows Every person or persons who
shall mortgage the same goods or Chat
tells a second time, a former mortgage
being in force and not discharged, shall
have no power of liberty of redemption
in equity or otherwise" Section 4 was
intended tn take away any risht-of-res
demption from any person who should
be guilty ofgiving a second lien on prop
erty to one party where it had already
been mortgaged to another. The section
really amounted to nothing, as very few
persons of the class who would be ras-
cally enough to give a second mortgage
on properly, knew of it's existence, and
ifthey did, few ifany could redeem prop
erty twice mortgaged. The repeating OF
section 4, chapter 12O, therefore, hurts
nobody, as better laws exist that give
more adequate punishment 10 those dis
posed to commit frauds against any who
may he willing to do them service.

REPRESENTATIVE CALLISON ON
EDG EFIELD'S MATERIAL CON-
DITION.

With a view of obtaining the ideas OF
representative men from all sections o.
the State as TO her prospects for 1880, the
Charleston NeWs and Courier circulated
Sins among the Representatives and
Senator's during the recent session of the
Legislature, on which were printed the
following questions:
sWhat are the material prospects OF
the State for 1880 from your standpoint p
Upon what facts do you base your
ideas?"
AS regards Edgeield, the subjoined
reply was received from Representative
Callison Our County is in a better o n
dition financially than at any time since
the lamentable crash of1S73, and the out
look for lsSOis highly encouraging.

I'd. The present high price paid for cot
ton as compared with several preceding
wears has enabled the planter to meet his
engagements, pay off some, if not all,
his old debts; money ~circulates freely
from hand to hand, and the people are
cheerful and confident of their ability
to ride the tidal wave of the incoming
material prosperity.

From the Register.
HOW HASTE MAKES WASTE
SHORT SESSION ECONOMY.

1t has been discovered that al impor-
TAFT error has been committed in the
passage of the act to raise supplies, en-
a:ted by the Legislature which has just
adjourned, the enrolled at as ratified by
tie two houses and approved by the Gov
e-.nr
the two houses. The bill as it left the
House Of Representatives provided for a
general State levy of foar and one-hslf
mills This was amended by the Senate
SD as to read "four and th~ree-quarters''
mills.
The Senate further amended the bill
ny inserting in Section 2 a provision of
s., coo for the militia of Charleston coun-
ty. The House refused to concur in
these amendments, and on the recon-
m"ndation of the committee Of confer
ence the Senate receded .herefrom. But
the act as enrolled, ratif I'd and approved,
contains them both. This is a most Sc
rious matter, and may operate to invali-
date the entire tax act, one of the most
important if not the most important act
which it was the duty of the Legislature
to pass. The State government cannot
he carried on without a levy of taxes, and
it is Il grave question whether the collec-
ton of taxes can be accomplished under
such Il paper as the n or file at the cap
itol and entitled IAN ACT to raise sup
plies and make appropriations for the
fiscal year commencing November LIST,
1919" 1t seems plain that -four and
tl,r'e quarter mills" cannot be collected
as i, expressed in the enrolled act be
cause no such provision passed the two
houses And it seems equally plain that
