What the Legislature is Doing?House
Passes Bill to
Repeal Lien Law--Some
Pending Measures.
Columbia Record : Imrae
diately atter the opening formalities,
the introduction of new
bills and the roading of committee
reports, the hou-e this morning
again plunged into the lien i
1 ? |U- i-:it * ..I
i?'i uru?ir, iiio uui unaer discussion
being that of Mr. Rich
ards, to repeal the section of the
law allowing liens to merchants
effective a year hence. '
Mr. Rucker, of Anderson, was
the first speaker recognized. Mr.
Rucker made a vigorous talk
against repeal. He predicted
that if the repeal were put into
effect at once the demand from
the farmers throughout the state
would compel an extra session
of the leeislature by September,
to put the law back on the books.
"I dare you," shouted Mr.
Rucker, uw?th all your boasted
majority, to pass this bill effective
at once."
"We are not so foolish."

The repeal, the opposition contends,
would depreciate to prac
tically nothing less tiian $'29,
000,000 worth of lien securities
in the state.
Mr. Richards* object in
asking that repeal become effective
January 1st next, is to
protect this class of securities.
Mr. Verner, an extensive far- ,
met*, followed Mr. Rucker, favoring
the bill Mr. Verner ac- ,
cepted Mr. Rucker's challenge
to make repeal effective at once,
lie would so vote.
Mr. Juo. R. Harrison, ot
Greenville, opposed repeal, as
he said he had done three sue
cessive years on the floor of the
house. He was satisfied to let
the law stand, if for no other
reason, because the farmers un
dcr the law are prospering as
never before. Ho did not ho
lieve the farmers were prepared
to do business on a cash basis.
The house reached a vote on
Mr. Richards' bill to repeal the
merchant lien law at 1:15, refusing
to kill tlie bill to repeal
by an aye and nav vote of 75 to
29.
Mr. Rucker at once moved to
.amend by making the act effective
immediately upon its approval
by the governor.
An aye and nay vote was also
taken to tins, Mr. Richards an
pouncing that if it prevailod, he
would slay his Lill with his own
hand. Mr. Rucker'a effort was
defeated 91 to 17.
Mr. McMaster proffered an
uiuo.nnut-in iu m?KH mo law eieflfective
in 1910, instead of 1909
This, loo, the house refused to
adopt, the vote against it being
81 to 24. And the Richards
bill rests in statu quo.

By Mr. Cothran?Providing
for a constitutional amendment
so as to limit legislative appropriations
to $1,250,000.
