The Lien Law.

Captain Darden, in his Grange
speech here, short time ago, re-
lated an instance, respecting the
detrimental effects of the lien law
of this State: A farmer in Yazoo
county owned land valued at $500.
He gave a mortgage on his crop for
supplies 20 the amount Of 500. The
time came for payment, but the sum
could not be raised, and the land
was sold. The merchant bid it in
at 500. That farmer, who was a
devoted lover Of his country, made
gallant soldier in the late war,
always paid his taxes regularly,
and who was true type of hon
esty, and highly respected, now
absolutely hates his country and all
mankind, and his bitterness has
made him almost fend incarnate,
But the merchant could not con-
sistentiy be blamed. He needed his
money, and did not want the land.
It was an extreme case with him,
and be only desired what was NOR
ally and lawfully his-the 800.
We 90 not feel any timidity in
saying that the present lien law IN
this State is one OF the greatest, il
not the greatest, barriers to the
prosperity OF our agricultural in
terests, and we look. to the next
Legislature to atieast modify it
or abolish itsaltogether. 1t is un-
lust that man should be com
PEELED to pay $500 for S10o debt
and when this is done you may
know there is something radically
wrong with the State law that
countenances such a thing.
We have been fighting this lien
law for years, ever since the first
establishment of this paper, and
will continue to denouEce it, SO long
as it remains to disgrace our statute

There is misapprehension in the
minds of the members of many dor
mant Oranges in this State with re-
gard to reorganization fee. The
Brownsville session of the State
Grange provided for District Depu-
ties to facilitate the work of reor-
ganization 1t was intended that
Deputies should take the field and
work up their several Districts, and
to compensate them for loss of time
and expenses incurred, a fee of 81
for males and soc. for females was
imposed in lieu of all past dues upon
those Oranges reorganized by them.
Members of dormant Oranges may
reofganize or resume work, where
they have not surrendered their
charters, without any such fee. Nor
does this provision of the State
Grange change the relation of the
County Deputies to the work in
their several counties, who will as
sist in recognizing as heretofore.
We trust this explanation will re-
move any misapprehension that
may exist, for dormant Oranges re-
organized through local effort will
only pay ordinary dues from begin
ming of the quarter following the
date of organization.

GRAND ENCAMPMENT y. of HI.

TO BE HELD AT ROLLA, MO-, COM
MENCING TUESDAY MORNING, oCTo-
BEv 10, 1880, AND CONTINUE FOR
CNE WEEK.
A cordial invitation is extended
to all members of the Order in this
and other States.
Ample preparations will be made
to accommodate, either at public
| houses, restaurants or in camp, all
who may attend.
At public houses, at one-half the
usual rates; at private houses, at
very reasonable rates; or lodge in
camp free of charge under good
tents by furnishing your own bed,
ding, and board at Grange restau-
| rants in camp at rates only suffi-
cient to cover expenses.
Or bring your own tents and
cooking utensils and lodge and
board by yourselves. To all such
provisions will be furnished by the
commissary department at net cost.
Hay and grain for teams will be
furnished by the forage department
at low rates
Fare on the st. Louis and San
Francisco railroad at one and one-
half fare round trip. Other roads
doubtless at like rates
Preparations will be on "a mag
nifcent scale, and indications are
that the attendance will be very
large.
Speaking and discussions on ag>
riculture, its interest and organiza
ton, will be had every day and
evening. Numerous speakers from
abroad as we'll as from our own
State will be present. Among those
; expected from other States are
Worthy Master Woodman, Master
of the National Grange; Brother
Whitehead, Past Worthy Lecturer
of the National Grange; Brother
Sims, Worthy Master of the Kansas
State Grange; and others, with
whom we are now in correspond
ence.
This being the first gathering of
the kind ever held in the land, we
trust Patrons will make it what its
name indicates-a grand affair,

to do so, to reverse this rule, and present a
pen picture Of him that is even more accu-
rate than the engraving which reflects his
countenance, though in our opinion that
engraving is an excellent one. In other
words, we shall attempt an unbiased por-
travel of the man as he is.
HENRY LowNDEs MULDRow was born
in Lowndes county, Mississippi, in the
year 1898, and is now AZ years of age His
father was one of the early settlers of that
country; and after giving the subject OF
this sketch every educational advantage at
home, he was sent to the University oil
Mississippi at Oxford, where he graduated
in the year 1886, receiving the degree OF
Bachelor of Arts. The Hon. l.. 0. c. La
mar, now in the United States Senate from
the same State, was theiProfessor of Law
in the University mentioned while Mr.
MULDRow was there as pupil, and two
years after graduating in the Literary De-
partment he received his diploma from the
Law Department with the degree of L. b
He did not begin the practice of law until
1880, and consequently was not long en-
gagged in that profession when the war be
gan. and early in 1861 he joined the Con
federate army. We shall not attempt tc
present his war history, but suffice it 10 say
that he made an active, brave soldier-ano
this information comes from his comrades
in arme-and at the close of the war ht
surrendered as a Colonel of cavalry a
Forsythe, Georgia.
The first official position held by Mr.
MULDRow after the war was that of Dis
trict Attorney for the Sixth Judicial Dis
tfict of the State Of Mississippi. which
place he filled in an exceedingly acceptable
manner to the good and law abiding citi
zens of his District from 1860 to 1871. He
was elected to the Legislature in 1875
that eventful year in the history of tha
State when the Radical yoke was thrown
off the nccks of her people.
He was nominated to succeed the Hon
L.O. c.. Lamar in the House of the 18th
Congress, the Mississippi Legislature hav-
lug created vacancy in his District BY
electing Mr.. Lamar to the U. 5. Senate
His term of office having expired, he was
in 1873, nominated by the Democracy o.
his District by acclamation for re election
and after canvass of considerable heat
the opposition in his District being repre-
sented by General Reuben Davis, a very
shrewd and aggressive politician, he was
elected by a majority of more than 3,ooc
over Gen. Davis.
At the formation of the House Commit
tees of the 46th Congress, Mr.. MULDRow
was paid the decided compliment by Spea

The A. and M. College of Mis-.
SiSSipDI.

The first session of this college
opens under the most favorable
auspices. The mum Der of pupils in
attendance is large, quite as large,
indeed, as could have been expect
ed. 1t will not be long before the
college will be taxed to it's utmost
capacity. Gen. Sthephen D. Lee,
the President, the accomplished
scholar and public spirited citizen,
is bending all his energies to his
great work; he has the earnest CO.
operation of a Faculty composed of
gentlemen of first-class ability and
large experience, and under their
management the college is destined
to be splendid success. The far
mers Of Mississippi will soon learn
TO appreciate the great advantages
it will offer for the education of
their sons.
We shall give close attention to
this institution, and will keep our
readers posted with it's progress.
