What Senator Sullivan Expects Of Bis
Constitutional Amendment.
Columbia State, Tuesday.
Senator Sullivan, of Anderson, is
opposed to the homestead, and yes.
terday in the senate, introduced a
resolution looking to its repeal. He
purposes to make a hard fight this
wear against the homestead, and when
asked about the object of his resolu-
ton, said:
"The joint resolution offered for the
repeal of the present homestead pro-
vision of the constitution, looks to
leaving the matter of exemption of
personal property to the general as
sembly, and to prohibit homesteads in
lands.
"Tbe present homestead law is the
root of many evils, such as our obnox-
ious lien law, a source of constant liti-
CATION and legislation.
"Get the homestead out of the way
and we can repeal the lien law, and at
the same time leave the people of linn
tied means a basis of credit. The
necessity of so much mortgage-taking
will no longer exist. The credit OF
our people and of the state will be
greatly enhanced.
"Why should money be tight at 8
and 10 per cent. in South Carolina
when in other states it can be had at
from 4 to 5 per cent? This home
stead law discredits US at once before
the world and keeps out Of the state
money products and out of touch with
those who are glad to extend credit on
the least margin. Repeal the present
homestead exemptions and money in
South Carolina can soon be had readily
at 5 or 6 per cent.
"The homestead law is no friend to
the poor man who desires to rise in the
world. Get it out of the way and we
can then legislate to some purpose on
questions relating to the credit system.
There may have been time in the
years and centuries gone by when this
law served good purpose; but | think
reflection will convince US that it is
now out of date and a real obstacle TO
every branch of industry and trade"
