The Lien Law.

Our views on the lien law have been lonS
known to our readers. We have fought it for
years as au enemy to tho farmer and to the
prosperity of the State, giving 10 all pro-
carious credit at the expense of runous
profit, while it also encourages the buying of
articles neither necessary nor needed by the
farmer. 1t has been constantly abused not
only by extraVagant profits but also by selling
under lien articles notlegally covered by the
terms of the law 1t has, however, been go
long in iorce that the dcbto and decentralization
of the people from it's effects have become
such that many think it now one of tho no
dessities of the times. With this idoa bill
has been introduced in tho Legislature to
substitute for tho present lien law another
which divides lions ms to preference into
three Glasses and provides for their collection
in summary manner. Liens for rent, not
exceeding ono third of the crop, unless moro
be'agreed on and duly recorded, is preferred
over all other liens. Next to rent actual and
necessary agricultural supplies arc q lien on
tho crop, and when they aro personal prop
erty a chattel mortgage on tho supplies themr
selves, tho lion first registered, where thero
is more than ono, having the preference. Tho
bill then provides for third lion for fertli-
zers. Unless otherwise stipulated in tho
contract rent is payable in September, sup
ply liens in October and liens for fertilizers
in November, and executions may be issued
ut the end of any month after tho lion is due.
Prior to tho issue Of executions for supplies
or fertilizers tho lienee must flo with the
CLERK list of all articles furnished with
their cost price, to which tho Clerk shall add
Is per cent, except for money on which only
sevon per cent. shall bs added. Power
10 also given to issue executions and seizo
and sell property, whether the :debt be due
or not, whenever the lienor is endeavoring to
sell or transfer his crop or do any act to dc.
feat The lien.
We canEot say we approve of oil tho fea'
torres Of the Act, especially those which allow
the Clerk to odd on tho profit to sales of
goods. We believe, howovor, that liens
should have somo order of preference and
the one designated by the bill is founded on
principles Of right and Justice. Tho land
lord should have his rent first and necessary
supplies to mako the crop should be preferred
to fertilizers. We hope the day will come
when the whole law can bc safely dispensed
with.
On Saturday morning, at u O'Clock coll.
lision between two fast trains occurred on

Others seriously injured. The matter will

The Gold Buried in Oconee.

A correspondent of the Ncws and Couric,
has this interesting story in reference to the
Confederate gold:
The following interesting story about the
Confederate gold has just been related to me
by q prominent and thor ,ughly reliable
gentleman Of Oconee County who is now in
Columbia:
Mr.. William Dickson, who lived in Oconcc
County ut the close Of the war, and who
subsequently moved to Dalton, Ga, where he
died twoor three years ngo garo to promi-
ncnt citizen of Pickcns county, shortly after
tho war, some very interesting facts
about the disposition of lurgo amount Of
the Confederate treasure which has recently
been 80 much discussed ,hro9 gh ts' 5ress Of
the country.
Mr. Dickson informed tho gentleman to
whom have referred that within few
days after the capture of Mr.. Davis by the
Federal troups, three brothers by the name
Of Rogers who belonged to Whcelcr's
cavalry came to his house on horseback with
ne much Of the treasure as they could cnrry
on their horses. What amount ho did not
know. but they employed him to go with his
team to Washington, Ca. where thcy had
buried more Of the treasure. and bring it to
their house near MIR. Dickson's, in Oconcc
County, then Pickcns District. lie stated
that he proceeded to Washington, Ca, with
the Rogers brothers, where they loaded his
wagon with, as they stated, ono hundred
thousand dollars and he returned with them
to Oconce County. They then employed him
to carry their treasure to Atlanta, where
they took the train and went to Mexico.
They also stated to Mr. Dickson that they
had buried considerable amount Of the
treasure near their house in Oconco County,
and the gentleman from whom get this
information informs me that it was generally
said in the neighborhood that tho treasure
was so dsposcd of and that he himself had
seen portes searching Tor the buried treasure.
Tho father Of the Rogers brothers came to
Oconee during the war. purchased tract OF
land and paid about onc-half of the amount
ho had promised, but tho family gave up
the place, carried only few articles Of fur
nitnre with them, and left everything else in
tho house without making any disposition
whatever Of any of it.
1t would now be in order for the Lcgisla-
ture to direct n thorough investigation of this
matter and to provide for tho development
Of the hidden mines where the Confederate
gold has been buried. &c. II.

execution arrives. When the fatal day arrives
the paraphernalia of death is brought forth In
the shape of moving scaffold, which is kept

hardly week goes by that it is not used. The
executions all take place in the jail yard,

from his cell, accompanied only by priest
or preacher, according to the creed Of the

coming, is the man who is to do the worn

cal courage to carry out. He is dressed in q

up prayer for the rest of the soul of the de-
parting man then his arms and legs are
firmly bound, the black cap placed over his
head, the moose properly adjusted around his
neck, the lever pulled, the man drops through
the trap about four feet and all is over with
him. When the prison doctor pronounces
life extinct the body is cut down and taken
into receptacle under the jail, and buried
in quick lime which causes its almost 1mme
diate decomposition. There you have the
end of an English murder in London.
