REPEAL THE CROP LIEN LAW


Tarboro Southerner.
The crop lien law which is now on the
statute books should be repealed at the
next session OF the General Assembly, and
We believe when the matter of the neces-
sIty of the repeal is presented to the law
makers, they will not hesitate to do their
duty.
This law is very generally regarded az
burdensome TO the farmers OF the eastern
section of the State. if not TO the whole
State; and the quicker it is repealed the
better will it be for the agricultural in
terest.
The crop lien system demoralizes the
labor of community in that it gives in
adequate control of the employer over
these who are cultivating his lands. Al
though tenant may cultivate a specified
acreage, yet the employer certainly ought
to have the right to exercise some au-
thority over the tenant with respect to
tie manner IN which the lands and crops
shall be cultivated. But under the crop

/ saw Count LamsdOrff today and ex-
planned fully the purport of your tele-
gram of the 29th instant. The sub
stance of his reply is as follows:
He said that the negotiations relate
to principles, but principles must be de-
cided upon examination of local and
practical questions. Accordingly the
Russian Government desired to trans
fer the discussions to Toxic on account
of the necessity Of consultation with
Admiral Alexieff, and also to manifest
a sense Of Difference to Japan as the
proposal had been made by her, and
that the acceptance of the proposal at
st. Petersburg does not signify that the
seat of negotiations should be at the
same place. He added that the proposal
to transfer the negotiations to Toxic
does not necessarily mean that our pro-
posals are acceptable to the Russian
Government as basis for negotiations
could not De determined without refer
ance to practical questions concerning
which Baron Rosen ana Admiral Alex
EFF have much better knowledge than
