THE ADMINISTRATION, HE THINKS, IS MAKING
REMOVALS AS FAST AS IT OUGHT TO.
Representative Holman says the administra-

many things have to be considered before any

COUNTY TAXES.

Again the same old story is repeat
ed BY the County Commissioners to
claimants, eve can't pay Your claims,
there is no money in the Treasury.
Their story is too true. FROM tha tax
lew of the last fiscal year the Ireasur-
er his reported but $5,354 to meet
a registered debt OF over 1851.
This deficit, to pay which there is no
prospect, is largely due to persons IN
narrowed circumstances, WHO no
doubt have depended upon what IS
owing them by the County, to meet
pressing debts, OF perhars sunply them
khe necessaries of life. Is it wisdom
or economy for the Commissioners to
contract these obligations when the
means of meeting them is clearly want
ing? Is it just to entice men who de-
pend upon their daily exerions to
procure livelihood for themselves
and families, with promises OF semun-
Grafton, to spend their money and time
for the County when to compensate
them is impossible? No! Better let
us stand still and every mans law and
protection be his Will and ability.
The present state would be less de-
plorable, but for the fact that for sev-
eral years past, owing to the lnsatii-
cheney of the tax for ordinary County
purposes, heavy balances have been
accnmulating until ou: finances are
nearing a condition unsurpassed By
the dark period ante to rs.
A speedy and radical change has be-
come necessary, or complete bankrupt
cy and decentralization Will be the IN
evitable result. By means unknown
to us, the current expenses must be
curtailed, or then the ordinary tax be
made equal to the demand upon it
AS we now stand the Commissioners
would act in accordance with law and
right, were they to refuse to contract
debts further than they are assured
the tax levy viii hQuidate.
More might well and properly be
written on this subject, bus we have
no doubt that with their experience and
the light before them our Legislators
viii fail to see that it is a paramount
duty, they owe to their County, to
provide against this evil in the future.

Lien Law.

Farmers and merchants have been
watching with keen interest the action
Of the General Assembly N regard to
the Lien Law. A strong effort was
made to procure its repeal, and a bill
to that effect met the appreciation Of
the Lower House by a large majority,
but was vetoed by the Senate: The
following bill by the latter body is the
legislation on the subject to this time:
Be 1t enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives Of the State
of South Carolina, now met and sitting
in General Assembly, and by the su-
thority OF the same
Section l. That from and after the
passage of this Act the landlord shai.
have a lien upon the crops of his ten
ant for his rent in preference to all
other liens. That laborers who assist
in making any crop shall have e hen
thereon to the extent of the amount
due them for such labor next in prior
ity to the landlord, and as between
such laborers there shall be no prefer
ence. That all other liens for asncul-
tural supplies shall be paid next after
the satisfaction of the liens ofthe land
lord aad laborers, and shall rank III
other respects as they do now under
existing laws
SEC. 2. That no writing or record
ing shall be necessary to create the
liens of the landlord, but such lien
shall exist from the date Of the con
tract, whether the same be in writing
or verbal.
SEC. 8. That all Acts and parts ci
Acts inconsistent with or supplied by
this Act be, and the same are hereby,
repealed.
This in no wise affects the rights Of
the landlord or labcrer, and all that
has been accomplished is to open lsld,
er the door for fraud. The Lien Law
has provided food for many and per
haps made as many more homeless
At any rate it still adorns our Statute
Book, and the wisdom OF the Senate
would have been as unquestionahie Lad
they allowed the matter to remain N
&atu quo.
