The Priority of Lien-A Big,
Scare-CroW.

= ~ AAN~ ~>s-''
State since It's adoption in 1866 has
had an annual paroxysm. The subject
of its repeal has excited statesmen
in the General Assembly at each an
nual session since the date named.
.WLat 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 q lien on all crops to secure adss
vances fer agricultural purposes;
Acts of 187s-'S0, General Statutes,
gave to the landlord a prior and
preferred lien for rent and adyan-
.ces; Act of 1869, Section 2o8S, Gen
.eral Statutes gave the laborer q
sprior' lien on all crops raised upon
shares or other valuable considers
ton. Thus stood the Statutes until
the legislation Of the General As
sembly of 1885.
The law has been construed uni
formly so 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 Ia
borer, wherever be has sought rem
edy. has had his lien next enforced
upon the crop, against party max
ing advances. In one case at least
this construction has been put upon
the Statutes, and the decree by one
of our ablest Circuit Judges, enforced
without appeal.
Now, five are right in our view Of
the law as it stood when the Legis.
lature recently convened, there has
been no "new departure, no scin-
tilla of change, and the contorticns
of certain Of the Representatives,
who cry out that our agricultural
system is to be revelutionized, is un--
warranted. The recent Act can on
ly be construed as declaratory of the
law as it stood, or itsaintroduction,
discussion and passage was intended
by its supporters as q decoy TO
those who appeared fatally bent on
repeating the whole business. The
party making advances has the
same rights and remedies as hither-
to afforded. Besides, if the Lien
Law is to stand on the Statute
Books, it is as should be. The land
lord ought to be secured his rent IN
less it be resolved that none shall
own agricultural land except to the
extent he can cultivate with his
own hands. The laborer should be
secured, unless it is determined that
he should be driven from the coun-
try. In cases where the landlord is
farmer, which implies that he and
family perform the farm labor, the
risk of making advances is notgreat.
Where advances are made TO ten.
ant, as in the case Of non-occupant
landlord, the advancing party should
| look well to the amount of reRS
claimed.
We only proposed the task Of
showing that there has been no
change in the Lien Law, with the
| hope of silencing the cry of "Rolf1
that may do harm to the landlord,
tenant and laborer.-L Laarens Herald.

Conditions Of Success in Life.
j. B. KERsHAW,
Presiding Judge.

In q recent address before the
Georgia State Medical Association,
DR.. Searcy stated that the physiol-
ogical conditions Of success in life
depend mainly upon a vigorous,
healthy action of the brain and ner-
vous system. It follows, therefore,
that the structural integrity and func-
tional capacity of the brain are mat
ters of the deepest Importance, and
their preservation and Improvement
are of vital moment. The author
believes that much would be accom-
plished, could we discover the ways
in which the brain capacity is in
creased and lowered. The problem
is most delicate one, for up to
certain point the receptivity of the
brain is directly proportional to the
strain already brought to bear upon
it's capacities. An even balance be-
tween the brain functions is an es-
sential clement. The superior man
must have the ability, not only to
comprehend, but, in equal degree, to
discriminate; he must be able to Sc
lect for a purpose. Besides the
ability to learn, man, to be sue.
cessful, needs the power to verify his
learning, to deduce his own conclu-
sions, and to execute his purposes
with persistence.
A simply erudite man is not ne
cessarily successful. On the con-
trary, he is often the reverse, per-
feet failure, for lack Of the saving
virtue of common sense. The ca
pacity to receive is of small value
unless it be coupled with an ability
to adjust, arrange, and impart. 1t
frequently happens that a man who
is simply scholar and nothing else
is at an absolute disadvantage in the
presence of an unlettered man who
is blessed with an inherent excel
lence of capacity in three depart
meuts of brain action. One need
not be educated to possess this trait,
though it is the addition of educa-
ton to such natural gifts that
brings distinction. It is not an exag-
Grafton to say that many man OF
eminence has had occasion to envy
his humber associates the possession
of those so-called commoner merits
which would have given his own at
tainments greater availability.
Nature apparently requires GER
tain amount of the concrete to main
tain a mental equipose. The man
who can learn, reason, and execute
with equal facility possesses the ele-
ments of success, even though his
qualities be of but an inferior order:
while one who has any of these fac
ulties abnormally. developed at the
expense of the others will always be
crippled by the absence of the essen
tial features of successful life.

Approaching events are said to cast shad-
ows before, and such at least appears to be
the case with tho forthcoming visit Of w.
w. Coles New Colossal Shows, which
exhibit hero Friday, November L. Proba-
bly, the approach Of no other tented exhi-
bition has ever attracted such widespread
interest in this vicinity as have the amour
cements of this engagement, In short, the
idea is prevalent that Manager Cole has
completely outdone all OF his previous great
efforts, and some strikingly novel innova-
lions can be anticipated. Fully alive to the
requirements Of the times, and with de-
termined purpose to present attractions that
have never had o counterpart in this coun-
try, Mr.. Cole, Immediately on the close OF
his season last November, dispatched q
number of trusty agents to Europe in quest
Of novelties, giving them carte blanche to
pay any price, providing the feature pos
sessed sufficient merit and had never been
seen in the United States. The result has
been that Manager Cole has collected the
most brilliant group of circus stars that
that have ever graced the arenas of Europe,
Not only is Mr.. Coles personnel of perform
ers rich in celebrities from the old world
but tho most daring and noted Of American
artists likewise disport themselves under
his imposing tents. The menagorie de-
partment has not been neglected in this
general burnishing-up process. Every
Cunard steamer that arrived in New York
during tho months of February and March
brought important acquisitions for the
geological collection. Prominent among
the leading features OF the show as a sump-
tuous revivalof the hippodrome sports of
ancient Greece and Rome, and which is
said to be the most signal reproduction of
classic racing.carnivals of contemporaneous
times. Excitingstruggles between aSa0, 900
stud OF English and American thorough
breds take place at every performance on
the enormous hippodrome track, This
| race course is also brought into requisition
| for the presentation of series of frontier
scenes by DIR. w. f. Carver's unrivaled
swild West" combination, comprising 100
scouts, cowboys, Indians and Mexican
| vaqueros. That Manager Colo will play to
the capacity of his tents in this city can
