THE LIEN LAW.

Many here take issue with your
Columbia correspondent in his posi-
ton that the repeal Of the lien law
destroys the right "to mortgage that
which does not eXist-the planted
crop" A lien as was provided by
Section 3,069 is separate and dis
tinct from mortgage, and it's re-
peal does not affect the right to
mortgage even an implanted crop.
The Supreme Court in Creech VS..
Long, 72 S. c., page %, holds as fol-
lows: "a verbal promise to give
inortSage on ceretain ,chattels to Sc
cure the payment Of debt impresses
such property with an equitable lien.
Such equitable mortgage may be
created by parol agreement Oh crops
to be raised, and attaches as soon as
they are In esse, but such agreement
to execute an agricultural lien Is not
an equitable mortgage" Property
not In esse may be the subject OF an
equitable mortgage, and Is impressed
with lien as soon as it becomes into
existence The lien law Is purely
creature of the statute, the mort
gage has Its existence IN the common
law, one being entirely independent
OF the other, and the taking away the
Statutory right TO give lien, does not
destroy the inherent right to mort
gage. Indeed the mooted question
before the last Legislature was whe-
ther or not that body could pass an
act that would have the authority of
law, |. e., that would be constitu-
ttonal, prohibiting the mortgaging of
even an implanted crop~.~bccause If
this Is not done the repeal Of the lien
law will be "dead letter." the

evils attending the lien, and Is even
better security in that upon execut-
ing 1T rests the title at once in the
mortgage, subject, Of course, to the
equity OF redemption, and because It
can be more readily enforced We
know Of no statute that says "that a
mortgage can be taken upon crop
that IS up in the fields" There is a
satr e that says that no mortgage of
crop shall be good and effective to
convey to the mortgagee any interest
In the crop other than the crop to be
raised during the year in which the
mortgage Is given. s.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Senator Per-

sidewalk this morning in front Of his
hotel, and, 1t is believed, severely
injured his spine. He was carried to
his apartments, where he was given

Senator Perkins fell with terrific

to his aid and carried him back to

was summoned, declared the patient

about the body. The physician did
not feel justified in stating how soon
he would recover.

JANUARY ON THE FARM.
Twelve Things to DO This Month.
Some Good Advice.
Progressive Farmer.)

1. Start the year like business
man. Take an inventory Of your
property, and begin an accurate ac-
count Of receipts and expenses.
2. See that all 1909 debts are
promptly cleared off. There was
never better time to get even with
the world and then stay so.
3. No land should be bare in win
ter, but If any Is without cover crops,
plow in readiness for spring planting.
d. See that all stock and poultry
are properly sheltered. Shelter is
cheaper than feed.
6. Plan to grow more productive
varieties Of all crops and cultivate
with all possible cheap horsepower
Instead of expensive hand labor.
6. Set about getting an improved
breed of poultry, hogs and cattle this
year.
Z. Clean up the sprouts and brush
and fill up the gullies that separate
your patches and unite them in great
broad, evenly cultivated fields.
s. Don't go crazy about the old
line money crops" There is money
In corn and hay and cattle as we'll as
In cotton.
9. Drain that wet place on your
farm. 1t will probably be the most
fertile spot you have.
10. Map out scheme for your
whole farm, Indicating the crops to
go In each field, all arranged with
due regard to the value of rotation.
1 l. Keep in health by using warm
clothing, fresh air in sleeping rooms,
moderation in eating, and prompt ct
tention to colds.
IL. See your county school super
intendent and cooperate with him in
organizing boys corn clubs in your
county.

BARRETT TO THE FARMERS.
Past Year Has Been Most Prosperous
Since Organization of Union.
To the Officers and Members Of the
FarmerS' IJnion. HEr

TO the Officers and Members Of the
Farmers Union:
Members of the Farmers Union
everywhere, In the South particular.
ly, have just concluded one Of the
most prosperous and progressive
years In the history OF the organiza-
ton.
Interest in recruiting members, in
terest In the active problems Of the
order. Is at all points vigilant and
aggressive. The organized farmer Is
alive to his own rights and the way
to obtain them, as he has not been
within my recollection.
In the South peculiarly, the lesson
of the year just passed should point
powerful and significant lesson for
this year and the years to come.
Cotton has sold, uniformly, at a
profitable figure, mainly because
there was not too much of it. The
crop came well within the demands
OF worldwide consumption, and as
result b. little was sold at loss, as
has been the case In years gone by.
We can insure the same measure
of prosperity for the new year. We
can even increase that prosperity, If
We diversity intelligently and keen
the cotton acreage within reasonable
bounds.
Icy for ourselves and the South 10 be
lured by the attractive prices OF the
fall and winter into planting huge
acreage for the coming season.
| know Of no better way to undo
our own prosperity and to play into
the hands Of the cotton gamblers.
These latter gentlemen have been
unable to hammer the price Of cot
ton this season, because every intel
ligent man knew for himself that the
crop was not Of abnormal propor-
tions.
To trade on the prosperity Of last
season and tempt Providence with a
Notwithstanding crop, would be to
court sure and heavy loss for our
selves and sacrifice much of the gain
recorded recently.
|, therefore. urge upon you to raise
at home your food supplies, the sup
plies for your family, for your help,
and for your stock.
There Is not one State in the South
but can adopt this policy, freeing it.
sell or the hay and wheat and corn
domination Of the other sections and
avoiding the laying Of mortgage on
cotton to pay other people for the
products we should raise FOR our
selves.
We have had before us the lesson
OF nara years and tremendous crops,
and profited by them. We have now
before us the lesson Of a prosperous
year. Let us see if we cannot also
profit by It's teachings.
look for 1910 to be the most
wonderful year in the history of
Southern farming. That prophecy
Will be fulfilled if the organized far
mers OF the South practice diyersifi-
cation religiously, at the same timn
avoiding. as they would the plague
and death itself, the foolish tempta-
ton to plant heavily for cotton.
Let us more than duplicate 1910
we can accomplish that if we OBJ
serve scrupulously the programme
nave outlined. Chas. S. Barrett.
