Repeal OF the Crop Lien Law.

The repeal of the crop lien law
under which most trust deeds and
mortgages on crops have been exc
cuted, became operative on the first
OF last July. The effect OF this re-
peal is q matter Of much interest,
both to the farmers and the mer-
chant. The peculiar feature Of the
crop lien law must first be under
stood before the effect of its repeal
can fully be comprehended.
AT common law crop could he
mortgaged or transferred, but not
until it had potential existence
that is not until it was planted, or
up and growing. 1t could not he
mortgagcd before it was planted
before it had any existence.
BY the provision Of the crop lien
law the farmer or cropper was al
lowed to mortgage his crop, or his
share in a crop fifteen months before
it was made-that is, a farmer or
cropper could mortgage his crop or
his share in a crop, before it was
planted, before it had any existence.
The peculiar feature OF the crop lien
law then, was, that crop might be
mortgaged or encountered before ii
had been planted or had any exis-
tence. The effect of the repeal OF
the crop lien law is the repeal OF this
peculiar feature of its provisions.
The power TO mortgage a growing
crop was valid at common law, and
is valid yet, for its validity was not
dependent on the crop lien law but
was q principle of the common law
Now since the repeal of the crop lien
law. a deed or mortgage cannot he
lawfully executed on crop in De
cember, January or FEBRUARY, as
heretofore done under the law. Fol
during those months there is NJ
growing crop of cotton or corn. Per
haps now it will not be customary
TO take trust deeds or mortgages OF
crops until after the middle of April
for it is not until about that time
that cotton is planted. And those
who rely upon getting advancement:
on trust deeds or mortgages will bt
hard pressed for supplies during tn,
months of January, February ant
perhaps March and part Of April
Yet this a necessary result of thu
crop lien law as it was repealed.
Upon planted or growing crop:
trust deeds and mortgages can b
executed as validity as heretofore
By the provisions of the Code o
1880, growing crop cannot be th'
subject of a Judgment lien, nor cal
a growing crop be sold under execn
ton. So under these provisions {
junior trust deed or mortgage on {
crop will take precedence, as to sucf
crop, over an enrolled senior judg
ment, for the lien Of the trust deco
or mortgage will attach to the grow
ing crop as soon as executed ant
filed for record, but growing crol
never becomes subject to a judg
ment lien or to sale under an execu
tion.-Raymond Reid, an Carthd
gilman.

How Prohibition Runs Atlanta.

An Atlanta (Ga.) paper sums mp
the result of Ihirly.eight days oi
prohibition as follows: LESS money
in the CRY and State Treasury less
business houses occupied, less poo
lie in the city, less morality, more
drunkenness, more crimes and crimi.
mails, more poor people out of EN-
ployment, more taxes, and more dis
satisfaction among all classes than
has ever existed before" Buying
whisky by the jug instead Of by the
glass appears To have worked an
astonishing change for the worse in
Georgia.
The above paragraph which crept
into The LEADER Of the 2nd inst.
without the notice and during the
absence of its editor seems to have
afforded some Of our anti friends no
small amount of much needed COM
fort. In the interest Of truth and
Justice to a good cause, however, we
are compelled to take from them
even this little coveted morsel
at which they have so eagerly
grabbed. We do not know the
name of the ATLANTA (Ga.,) paper"
quoted in the paragraph, which
presents such terrible indictment
againt Prohibition, but it is perfect
" safe to assume that If correctly
quoted, it is q subsidized liquor or
gan paid to do the lying Of the Ii
quor men. In recent issue of the
Atlanta Constitution, the greatest
and most influential paper in Geor-
gia, and one of the most reliable, we
find the following:
Exact statistics are at hand which
settle the matter beyond dispute and
prove that Atlanta has gained large
ly in business since prohibition went
into effect.
Again, we find that after all the
pains taken by the liquor sympa-
thizers of Atlanta to let the great
world know how their city is being
ruined by Prohibition, subsldizing
newspaper correspondents, filling
the air with false figures, and
spreading false reports all over the
nation, now come the tax commits
sioners and knock higher than a
kite all their efforts. These Com
missoners, comparing the reports
made by property holders Of the
value of their property this year
with the values Of last year, and
finding a general increase in the
value OF property and general de,
crease in the taxes necessary, have
Just lowered the tax rate from &C
cents on 500 to 80 cents.
We will only add that the alleged
increase in crime and the jug stories
are about on a par with the lies con
corning increase Of taxes, decrease in
values, etc.

Capt. Coleman, schooner Weymouth
plying between Atlantic City and n. Y,
had been troubled with cough SO that
he was unable to sleep, and was induced

sumption. 1t not only gave him instant
relief, but allayed the same extreme sore

similarly affected and single dose had
the same happy effect. DR.. Kings New

The First Bale.

Mr.. W. F. Smith, one of the enterpris-
ing and wel.-to-d do farmers of Caseyville
country, landed the first bale of new cot
ton IN town last Thursday morning. 1t
weighed 45O pounds and was purchased
by Messrs. Sherman g. Davis at 81 cents
per pound.
Tho first bale of new cotton was
brought in last year on August 10Th,
which would indicate that the crop this
year il about 2 weeks late.

The first great evil to befall the
commercial prosperity Of jackson
after voting whisky out is 100000
cotton factory, and it will do more
for the solid prosperity of that grow
ing city than all of the saloons she
ever had put together. That is the
way prohibition ruins a town.
Moreover, Jackson is on a general
building boom, such as never before
experienced in her history.

The editor of the gnal.Copiahan
who writes the heavy leaders for
that paper is no Bible scholar.
Hear him:
The farmer, as a profession, dates
back to our earliest parents where
we read of ABEL bringing the first
fruit OF the land as an offering.
He evidently wants the farmer
boys to stick to the farm and
raise Cain"
