C.. -March II, 1909. text of the Lien Lew. Tbe law that repeals the lie law is ,;a simple little instrumer with but^w words. In numb< . of words and variety of supei . fluous phrases it contrasts strange ly with the prohibition oill whic caused so much "fuss and featl -* era" in both branches of the get eral assembly and which is of ? little practical value to the masse: Following: is a text of the law: i v Be it enacted by the Gener; Assembly of the State of Sout . Carolina that Section 3,059. Vo ume 1, Code ot Laws of Sout Carolina, 1902, relating: to liei for advances be, and the same i: . hereby repealed. . ...Section 2. - That all Acts < parts of Acts inconsistent wil + ? L* A Vu? O f Vl A OA?Y?A A v&iia UW| auu 111^ oaiuv at* Hereby repealed. Section 3. Th Act shall take effect on the fir . , day of January, A. D. 1910. Pn vided that all liens taken befo tjtiis Act takes effect shall be vali< and may be enforced as now pr vided by law. Approved Mar* 4, 1909. The law does not abolish tl credit system entirely. A moi . i ;fcage can be given over a growii "r crop which will answer the san purposes as the lien, but it w not be valid if it ante-dates tl month in which the crop begins grow. And right here the coui will have to wrestle wilh a fi: v-point of law: Whether a plant crop will be construed as "gro t ing'' from the time seed are plant ?- or from the time the plants bre through the surface of the gioun If the former it will be an ea v matter to violate the law, both letter and spirit, without ai v.fearof detection. If the genei assembly had repealed the chatl ? mortgage law so tar as it appli . to . growing crops the count would have been saved a lot , ^ useless litigation. Danger in Overdrawing. . Under the provisions ot an a . passed at the recent session of tl: vi: general assembly the bankers c? throw the red ink out the windo\ i.\ rest their, feet upon the desk ar take life easy. There will be r i more overdrafts because the a< v makes it a misdemeanor to ovei draw your account. Following a text of the act which will brin . sorrow to so many souls: . - Any person who shall hereaftt draw or utter any check, dra or order upon a bank, bankin in in ui cuiiiui auii with which or whom he has noi at that time sufficient funds t meet the same and shall theret obtain from another monev or otl . . cr thing of value or postpono an remedy he may have against sue drawer, shall be deemed guilty < a misdemeanor,* and upon convi< fkm shall be pvfbished by fine < imprisonment in the discretion < the court; the offense to be withi the jurisdiction of the magistrate court if the value of the propert obtained be less than $20, and 1 planished by a fine not exceedin $100 or imprisonment not exceec ing thirty days. Provided, thj if such persons shall deposit wif the drawee of such paper withi 30 days thereafter funds sufficiei to meet the same with all cosi and interest which may have a< crued, the prosecution under th act shall be discontinued. A contemporary whose name v can not recall at this moment ei auirdri thl>OtllPr Hau it fVrn nmti bitionists would see that the la was enforced if the prohibitio measure passed the general ai setnbly. The purpose of th enquiry evidently was to put tli enforcement of the prohibitio law squarely up to its advocate: but the attitude assumed by ov contemporary is wrong. Th prohibition measure has become i. law and the responsibility for il enforcement belongs as much t & the aoti-prnhibuionists as it doe r v ( to the prohibitionists. The la' _ that makes duelling1 a crime is fc the protection of society and th man who redicules the law sin: ply because he is opposed to it i an undesirable citizen. The pro liiKifinn TTlAaeuro ic frtr flip ntY m tection of the weak and for thj very reason the stronger n>an, rt ? gardless of personal sentiments a to the method of controlling th _ sale of alcoholic beverages, shoul give the law his undivided suppon Left to themselves the prohibitiot n ists cannot make the law effectiv it because they do not represent th >r entire citizenship of the commor r- wealth, but we hazard the pit i- diction that if every law-abidin h citizen of the State gives it th l- support it deserves and the mur l- icipalauthorities, particularly,^ ?o on whom the greater respons s. bilitv rests exercise due diligenc in its enforcement it will com al nearer solving the whiskey prol h lem than any method so far di " wl Thprpfmv pnfnpiv ^ ment of the law is not up to th 5 prohibitionists any more than is up to the anti-prohibitionist: jr There is no sentimental side 1 the whiskey problem; the illeg, sale of whiskey is a bare-face< is . st practical proposition that must I o- met and overcome just the san re as a certain form of lawlessne 3- in the west was met and ove ^ come in the 40* s?by the stron arm of the law. Where publ ie sentiment condones murder ? any other crime there is a deplo lg. able lack of enlightenment ai ne intelligence. And the same thir iU may be applied to a communi where public sentiment symp to thizes with the illegal sale ^ whiskey. ne ed By way of comparison it mi w~ be worth while to note that at tl ed recent term of the court of gene ak al sessions in Bamberg count d. four persons were tried for mu sv der.
