me Insolvent TRADERS, act.

The House had up bill Tuesday of i'm.
portance to the mercantile interest OF
Georgia. 1t was the bill introduced
by Mr.. Brandt, of Richmond, to repeal
what is known aB the ''Insolvent Traders
Act.'t
Under the law in the code, section
3149, a) co sea-, where u trader or private
corporation Is insolvent, and allows debts
to mature and remain unpaid, any credi-
tor may file a bill against such debtor,
known as q creditors bill, and obtain the
appointment of q receiver to take charge
OF the property of the debtor and admin
lister il for the benefit of all the creditors
alike, preserving all pre-existing liens.
The bill to repeal this law was favorably
reported to the judiciary committee, and
came up for its third reading to-day.
1t will be remembered that tue Board of
Trade OF Macon and savannah passed res
Olutions asking their representations to
resist the passage of this measure.
The law as 1t now stands is much in
favor with the merchants and Job
bers of the State, as 1t affords them an
easy and effectual remedy to collect their
debts.
1t was claimed for them that a repeal of
the law at this time would be especially
unjust in view OF the fact that their sales
for thefali trade have all been made on
lne ldlJA, OL Tue TVueuS lOT oOllecung
debts. The bill provoked considerable
discussion, two of the members from
Bibb. Messrs. Bartlett and Harris, vigo-
rously opposing its passage. 1t was, on
motion 81 Mr.. Bartlett, recommtted to
the judiciary committee with the following
instruction: "t VI
To report substitute for the pending
bill, which shall amend the present law
in the following particulars: To require
the concurrence OF One-thrd in the
amount Of indebtedness and one-fourth
the number Of creditors to commence pro-
ceedings against an insOlvent debtor, and
furtherto 30 amend the present law that
a bigi imequity may be filed against any
One who is trader at the time, or had
been one in thirty days before the fling Of

AS a simple illustration of what inteIli-
gence and well directed effort will do in
farming, we note an experience of our
worthy tOwnsman, Mr.. Barney Dunbar.
He never pretended to be a practical far
mer, but it CHANGED several years age
that he was controlling some fine lands
across the river. He took one special
field as an experiment, and by studying
the fine points of some successful farmers
and applying the correct principles of the
business, brought up u field which had
never produced more than a bale to the
acre to double that production the first
year. The 100 per cent. gain he rightly
ascribed to the intelligent outlay on the
place. Intelligence and well directed ef-
fort VIII pay every time.
Mr.. Dunbar studied farming as a sci
enee at that time Of his life, and intro.
duced the novelty of compost heaps into
Beech island, and made some very similar
and successful chemical compOsts before
Furman's formula was ever heard Of. Mr..
Dunbar, fortunately, was succeeded In
the management OF these fine Carolina
lands by his nephew. Mr.. Barney Dunbar
Lamar, and now they never fail to make
the most superb and successful crop.
