THE COTTON CROF.
Our exchange!' are still discuss*!
itig ihe probable aggregate of the;
present cotton crop?a question i
upon which two of the highest authorities,
the Finajicial Chronicle
and the Agricultural Bureau, differ
as much us 800,000 bales?the
first estimating the crop at 4,300,000
and the other at 3,500,000 bales.
The receipts up to the 25th December
are about a quarter of a million
in excess of those of last year, but
it 'U thought that the pecuniary
pressure upon the planters has
forced the crop |o market, and that
the next fewTmonthij will show a
great falling off in the receipt*. If
t his be ho. wej may look for a corresponding
improvement in prices,
which will justify all in holding
on to their ^ottou who can do so.
With regard to the size of the
crop aiid its effect upon prices, the
Chronicle and Sentinel says:
"The Atlantic States .are pretty
well drained. We hear from
friends who have travelled over
them extensively that per
cent, has gone forward. The
greatest probability appears to be
j that the receipts will fall short ot
last year. Mow. what does this
i point to ? . So far the receipts ex
cced last year by 225,000 bales;
this added "to the crop of .1873-'4?
4,175,000 ? comes to 4,400,000? <
and the question'- arises in what
proportion will the receipts fall
off? which to answer we must
either tak$' statistics to hand (precedents)
find draw conclusions, or
fall to guessing.
, The Commercial and Financial '
Chro7^icie allots its share to each 1
Stat^itid adds upw4,300,000. This '
o Aiiiin/v aF inn nnn hdinc i
C411VJ vr o ib0iuinii? uu WE <ivv)W v
from our calculation above. In 1
weeks from the 18th Decern- ]
ber^he 1st January we lost from '
the surplus about 80,000 bales 1
which would allow a falling off of <
20,000 bales for the balance of the i
season in order to reduce the crop
to the estimate of the Chronicle,
and this we think is improbable. ]
The present price of middling up- (
lands,-7^ or about ? below the av- j
erage price of last year, stands in [
proportion to a crop of mi'lions, t
and as it becomes clearly percepti
ble to all interested in the articel ^
that we shall not reach this figuer
an advance in prices will take g
place. A Bfcpp.n^.;. disposition to ^
hold cotton manifests itself in this
-w. ? .1 1 ? . j ?
country, it is also trie reat oDjeci g
of the Granger combination to v
withhold as much cotton as possi- ?
ble until it is positively needed and j
then sell it at a high price. This j
will probably lessen receipts at
ports for some time to come and
influence prices. The assertion ^
that too much cotton is produced, t
and that more goods are manufactured
than the-world n?eds, is fre- j
cjueutly* heard. The world has ^
successfully disposed ot several c
monster crops and at a consideraii
? i ?i.i iraj ?
dij niguer average price iuau iju^, ^
and as consumption steadily increases
from year to year we cannot
assume as probable that because
possibly this year's crop may exceed
last year by a few thousand "
bales a shriukage of 2 or 3 cents
should be necessitated." ;

The Edgefield Troubles.
.A committee of gentlemen, con*
sisting of Gen. Butler and Messrs.
Mealing, Shaw, Butler, Porter and
McKie, waited upon Gov. Chamberlain
in the interest of good order
and peace in that county.
They represented that Tennant, the
militia captain, had recently marched
his company to Edgefield Court
House, and recovered the arms, with
many rounds of ammunition, which
liorl Koon trmrlf> tn lin
? ?- - ' t
some time ago. He bad instituted
drills, and was marching about the
county mostly at night, and ail
night in the Curryton neighborhood.
Alarm had spread in all directions.
A public meeting had
been held, and this committee appointed
to represent the danger to
the Governor, and to request that
he issue an order to have the arm9
withdrawn and placed in safe-keeping.
Judge Carpenter was present
at the interview mid pronounced
the retention of the.arms belonging
to the State by the militiamen as
not warranted by law and a violation
of the public peace. Gov.
Chamberlain thanked the committee
for the good judgment and discretion
of their action, and promised
to issue an order to Tennant
and liia company to return the arms
wifhnnt-. delav. The whole pro
Deeding had been entirely without
his knowledge or consent.
We nre glad to see that Judge
Carpenter has declared against the
legality of thus furnishing the
militia with State arms to. be retained
by them, and trust if any of
the companies ot the "bloody
eleventh" have still these munitions
of war, they will please sur-|
render them to the proper authorikIz-vo

The Lien Law?Important Rulings.
Upon a motion to dissolve attachment
on the agricultural lien in the case ol
J. It. Kirkpatrick vs. B. F. Ferguson,
which came before his Honor Judge T.
J. Mackey, at the recent term of the
Court for this county, his Honor ruled
as follows:
"That it is essential to the validity of
an agricultural lien that the advances
made should consist solely of such supplies
as are essential to the production
of tho crop. The advances of such supplies,
however, do not operate within
themselves as a lien; they must be made
pursuant to an agreement fixing their
value in money and such agreement
must oe entered into anu recoruea ucjurv
any of the supplies are furnished. The
reason of the law in this respect is, that
the lisence should be guarded against
his own own improvidence by a fixed
limit to his credit and the record will
protect others against being imposed
upon by a secondary agreement.
"A warrant to seize a crop cannot be
legally issued until the account for supplies
furnished is presented to the person
who receives the advances and payment
refused. Such uccount must be sworn
to and attached to the affidavit upon
whicli-ib? warrant to seize the crop is
issued. >.
"All costs incident tb the seizure and
sale of the crops must be paid by tbe
lienor, for the crops under the Statute is
bound only for the amount.advanced,
and not for the disbursement in enforcing
the lien.
"The claims of laborers for services
in /I Iinrlnn r\f Mio oi?nn
I CUUCICU 111 UIC jp* UUUVViVU VI v?*v V.V|/
is a preferred lien and must be paid beforethe
lien for the ad vauces are satisfied.
The rent is next to the laborers lien a
preferred lien upon the crop.
"The advances for supplies can only
bind the crops for the agricultural year
in which they were made. They cannot
operate as a lien upon future crops. The
lien must rest solely upon the crop and
cannot bind work animals and other
property. A horse or mule sold for the
purpose of producing a crop will operate
as a lien upon the crop, it being a supply
within the meaning of the Statute.
"Contracts for the renting of land for
the coming year will carry with them
a statutory lien on one-fourth of the crop,
but if the contracts to rent expressly so
provides, the rental will be a lien upon
one-third of the crop, provided, that the
'ImIi? oa In fhn nauo
UUlll I U^L UC \IUIJ 4 UUU M-J ? -.
of advances made.
"The homestead exemption cannot be
!)leaded to protect a crop against the enorcement
of a lieu for advances made
to enable a party to produce the crop,
but no mortgage or lien can be enforced
against the raised on the homestead, except
in the case above stated.
"If a crop Is produced on a tract of
land, which, together with buildings
thereon, does not exceed one thousand
dollars in value, no part of the crop,
however great its value, is subject to execution
for debt."
