THE CROP LIEN BILL
Full Text of Important New Bill to
Prevent Crop Lien Usury-A Bill
Every State Should Adopt.

Following is the official text of the
North Carolina "Act to Relieve the
Crop Lien Evil" as explained in
The Progressive Farmer Of February
"a and March 10. This is the bill
secured as result of the combined
efforts of the State Farmers Union
and Governor Beckett. 1t will be well
for everybody interested to save this
copy of the law SO as to help secure
its enforcement after it goes into cf-
feet. The law reads:
The General Assembly of North
Carolina do enact:-
Section /, That in order to be en-
titled to the benefits of the lien on
crops in favor Of landlords and other
persons advancing supplies under
section 1893 and sections 2052 to POST
inclusive, of the Revisal of 1905, or
on a chattcl mortgage on crops, such
landlord or person shall charge for
supplies a price or prices Of not
more than 10 per cent over the re-
tail cash price or prices of the article

chants, the retail cash price or prices
shall be the regular cash price or
prices charged by the same merchant
to cash customers for the same ar
ticle or articles in the same quantity
at the same time. In the case of ad-
vances of supplies by landlords or
other persons not engaged in business
as retail merchants, or by retail mer-
chants who have no regular cash
prices, if the prices charged are called
into question by the purchaser, the
retail cash price or prices of the sup
plies advanced may be determined by
taking the average between the cash
price or prices for the same class or
classer of goods Of two neighboring
merchants, one selected by the land
lord or other person making the ad-
vance, and the other by the one to
| whom the advance is made; Provid-
ed, that no agreement or understand
ing between the parties as to the
price or prices to be charged shall
work an estopped against the person
w "ioHi ouPPllCS nave Dccll advanced
from showing that the price or prices
charged were in fact more than 10
per cent over the average retail cash
price or prices in that locality at the
time the advance or advances were
made. If the price or prices charged
, by the merchants or the landlord
| were in fact more than 10 per cent,
then the lien shall be null and void
as declared in the preceding section.
Sec. 3. That any person, firm or
corporation, including any bank or
credit union, making any advance
ment III money to any person for the
purpose of enabling such person to
cultivate crop, and tagging as sole
security for the advances so made, a
lien or mortgage on the crops to be
cultivated and the personal property
of the person to whom the advances
are made, may charge, in lien of in
tcrest, commission of not more
than 10 per cent of the amount of
money actually advanced; Provided,
that money advanced under the pro-
visions OF this section shall be adj
vanced in installments agreed upon
at the time of the contract, and the
10 per cent commission herein alloy
ed shall not be deducted, but shall be
added to the amount of money agreed

per cent shall be in lien of interest
on the debt for such advances. If
more than 10 per cent over the retail
price is charged on any advances
made under the lien or mortgage
given on the crop, then the lien or
mortgage shall be null and void as
to the article or articles upon which
such overcharge is made. At the
time of each sale there shall be de-
livered to the purchaser a memoran-
dunn showing the cash prices of the
articles advanced.

THREE KINGSTREE BLAZES
All on Sunday With March Wind in
Evidence.

Kingstree, March 19.-Sunday was
a typical March day here, with a
steady wind blowing from early morn
ing until late at night. There were
three fires during the day. The
elarm was first sounded about 2 a.
M, occasioned by the burning Of two
adjoining cottages on the east side Of
Railroad avenue. These were totally
destroyed, while two others nearby
were saved by the fire department.
About 3 p. m. the house of Mr.. H..
d. Riddick in the Nelson addition, oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. r. w. Lewis,
was discovered to be on fire. The
department responded quickly, and
saved the house with only slight dam
ages to the roof, where the fire origi-
mated from defective fue. Mr..
Lewis furniture was considerably
"done up" in hurried effort to get
it out of the house.
About 6 o'clock the alarm was
again sounded on account of the old
cotton seed house of the Southern
Cotton Oil Company catching on fire.
The building was saved with very
slight damage.
