The PRIoRITY OF LIEs-A BIG ScARE-CRow
The Lien Law agitation in this State since
its adoption in 1886 has had an annual par.
oxysm. The subject Of its repeal has excited
statesmen in the General Assembly at each an
nual session since tho date named. "What will
we do with it ? was silenced at the recent
session by what is called the "priority law
We propose to show briefly that there need
be no righteousness on the part Of anybody by
reason of the recent enactment. The original
Act, 1866, Section 1897, General Statutes,
gave lien on all crops to secure advances for
agricultural purposes Acts of 1880, Gen.
eral Statutes, gave to the landlord q "prior and
preferred lien'' for rent and advances Act Of
1869, Section 2,OS3. General Statutes, gave the
laborer prior lien on oil crops raised upon
shares or other valuable consideration. Thus
| stood the Statutes until the legislation of the
General Assembly Of 1885.
The law has been construed uniformly 80 as
| to give the landlord his rent and payment for
supplies in preference to all other claims on
the crops raised on leased lands. The laborer,
wherever he has sought a remedy, has had his
| lien next enforced up the crops, as against any
party making advances. In one case at least
this construction has been put upon the Stat
utes. and the decree by one Of our ablest Cir
cult Judges, enforced without appeal.
Now, If we are right in our view of the law
as it stood when tho Legislature recently con-
vened, there has been no new departure" no
scintilla Of change, and the contortions Of GER
tain Of the Representatives, who cry out that
our agricultural system is to be revolution lied
| is unwarranted. The recent Act can only be
construed as declaratory Of the law as it stood.
or its introduction, discussion and passage was
intended by its supporters as a decoy to those
who appeared fatally bent on repeating the
whsle business. The party making advances
has the same rights and remedie, as hitherto
afforded. Besides, if the Lien Law is to stand
on the Statute Books, it is as it should be-
The landlord ought to be secured his rent un-
lees IL DO resolved that none shall own agricui-
tural land except to the extent he can cultivate
with his own hands. The laborer should DO
DO driven from the country. In cases whore
the landlord is q farmer, which implies that no
and family perform the farm labor, tho risk Of
making advances is not great. Whore advan-
ces are made to tenant, rs in the case of O
non-oocupant lsndlord, the advancing party
should look we'll to the amount of rent claimed.
We only proposed the task Of showing thai
there has been no change In the Lien Law, with
the hope Of nlenoing the cry of"wolf," ths.
may do harm to the landlord, tenant aud Ia

SKILFUL CULTIvATIoN.-Skilfu cultiva-
ton should be the aim of every one who
raises plants aud crops. TO make garden
ing and farming profitable, it is necessary
to have something in return for every
stroke that is made, and for every dollar
invested. Even when only few house
plants are cared for, We expect to see
growth and bloom in repay for our care; if
not, our interest iu them would soon be
lost. We devote an acre of land to q cer-
tain crop; it costs for the season the interest
for year on the investment made for it,
besides the expense of preparation, manur-
ing, cultivatins, harvesting, marketing,
&c. Our crop is but half what it might be,
or what good cultivation has proved might
be obtained. The time and expense of
preparation, of sowing, and of cultivation,
have been as much as for full crop, and the
cost of harvesting aud other expenses but
little less; but part Of the land was too
wet, and the planting could not be done
early, as it should have been, and on the
same account the manure that was applied
though there was not half enough of that,
could only produce partial effects and so,
from these combined causes We get back for
our seasons work, perhaps, the expense and
little more. The interest and expenses
were fifty dollars on the acre, and our re-
turns, all told, amounted to sixty dollars,
giving profit Of ten dollars. At this rate
per acre on the whole place, with what it
provides for the table beside, with great
economy, one may, perhaps live along for a
while, and the land is growing poorer, aud
the value Of the first investment is lower ed
the place is running down. But at lit
tie more expense in preparation, perhaps
ten dollars on the acre, enough to ensure
the best result, making the whole sixty, in
stead Of fifty dollars, as before, and the
crop is twice as great, and perhaps farther
enhanced in value by its superior quality.
All Of this success, then, is proft--sixty
dollars or more, instead of ten-an amour,
that makes prosperity and success, instead
Of failure Nck's Magazine.

the State College were to charge tuition
why make such pother about il? The
pretext is transparent. 1t is, at the same
time, both shallow and short-sighted. We
verify believe that in proportion as the
State College clevates the standard of ed,
ucation, and diffuses by its superior in.
fluence desire for higher education
throughout the whole State and in the re.
gions beyond the denomiuational colleges
will be benefited and their numbers large
ly increased. Has any denominatio ional col
lege in the State smaller number of stu
| dents at present than it had while the State
College was suspended? We are much
mistaken if every one of them does not now
boast larger patronage than before. This
result is but natural. Monopoly in the
business of education would, if successful,
most effectuaIly defeat its own end. Com
petition is no less the life of learning than
it is of trade.
The South Carolina College, as a State
institution, is maintained by the money of
tho whole people justice, therefore, re-
quires that her doors shall be thrown as
wide open as possible to all of her class, the
poor as well as tho rich. That is obviously
most paradoxical, if not most absurd
position taken by the opponents ofthe State
College, who in one breath denouncc it as
rich mans College. and in the next cla-
NOR against its free tuition. Free tuition
is clearly greater boon to the poor than to
the rich: 1t would really seem to be but
an unworthy stratagcm on tho part of such
persons to make tho College the odous
thing they have unjustly stigmatized it.
Yet some who toli this selr-coutradictory
position towards the College claim to be its
friends. May kind Providence ever deliver
South Cardinals grand old College from
the mischievous lingering of such friends!
Kites are unsafe keepers of dovecotes, and
the advice of mortal enemy is to be dis
trusted. The State authorities should be
allowed to manage the State College as
they, in their wisdom, may deem best for
its prosperity and usefulness.
1t is devoutly to be hoped that all pro-
fessors of our sacred religion who may de-
bate this subject in the interests Of their
special institutions, will be careful to do Sc
in spirit Of caudor aud fairness that will
save from reproach that cause which should
be respected aud cherished above all sec
ular interests. Let Christians of all de-
nominations sedulously cschew the Jesu.

junction and reflection of their luminous
