Last Friday, Mr. A G johnson
bought three dressed pigs from n

deal OF it he carried home for his

pose, that the hogs had been bit

Letter From Hon. j. n. Estridee

A'ii 'S'A''i iOpoO NiIoN llC
space in your paper for "a few leg
islative dots. We have been in
session nearly three weeks, and
the least work done in the same
length of time since | have been
coming to the Legislature, owing
to too many lawyers making big
speeches; though our lawyers are
not in that clas.. They have new
sr said a word only when it was
necessary. 1t is = good thing to
have some good quiet lawyers In
tho Legislature, but not too many
long winded ones.
We had some warm discussions
on the bill to repeal the Lien law.
| voted to let it stand, after hear
ing the strong appeal from the
farmers from the different parts
Of the State. The vote stood Ga
to As against repeal. l always
want to carry out the wishes of
the people of my county if l know
them; and the question not hay
ing been sprung in the county
campaign, supposed. the farmers
were satisfied with the law, and
expressed myself in favor of it 10
my former communication. | got
oss letter from a particular friend
asking me to vote for its repeal,
and many lottsrs from farmers
asking me not to vote for it's re-
/ peal. | have aaked many farmers,
why do you give a lien, and the
reply is, "lt,s the bsst | can do, ="
/ and | don t want to take the best
msn can dD away from him. Aud
the courts hold that Il prospective
crop can be mortgsged, and that
would DO more expensive to the
farmers than lsn. My advice
to the farmers is TO make their
own provisions at home and repeal
the lien law themselves. II they
can live without the lien lew on
the statutes, the same ones can
live with 1T on the statutes. 1t
would be as bad to take the credit
from man who only has his mus
clio as it would be to take tho cred
it of one who has property. If =
man ia willing to give nj. mnscis
fer security, | think he has II
perfect right to do so.
Tho privilege tax question came
up Friday. The lawyers said
it was unconstitutional to give the
privilege tag tax to Clemson Col
lsge, but the judiciary committee
which is composed of fourteen
lawyers, reported a substitute bill
to lot the sixty Thousand dollars
drawn out OF the hands OF the fsrm-
srs of the State be put in the State
treasury to be drawn out as gener-
al funds. Some of the lawyers on
the floor of the House made a des-
porate effort to keep the tax on fer
tilizers st % cents per ton, and put
1t in the treasury as general fund,
to be used for any purpose, and it
is paid by the farmers. They
mace tho fight on the amend-
ment to reduce the tag tax to ten
cents per ton. That will raise dOu.
bic enough to inspect the fertilizers
understand there vii! be another
amendment offer q to make the
tax ; cents per ton. 1t stands In
the house NOW at 10 cents. | made
my first speech in the House this
session on that fertilizer tax quss.
tion. Friday night and Saturday
morning many OF the lawyers
came to mo and said they we're
satisfied that knew the ~ishs. of
tho farmers bstter than they did,
and that they were willing 10 do
whatever the farmers Desired in
tho msttar
