THE LIEN LAW.
We clip the following from the
ireenvilie News of the 28th ultimo,
bcing an extract from the pro
.cedings of the State Grange and
state Agricultural Society Meet
.ng:
Col. Butler read a paper taking
itrong ground against the lien law,
which, be said, placed the laborer
vho had nothing but his muscle on
tn equatity with the man who
)wned the land. It demoralized
abor, and encouraged the laborer
.o make arrangements with the
.merchant that comparatively freed
3im from work. The law was of
3o benefit to any body, for ia
>orers of this class depreciated the
and they worked. He had sta
istics of liens, he said from e'h. '
een counties. Calculations based
>n these showed that there was in
ound numbers, ten millions dol
ars of property now under lien in
,he State against seven millions in I
1880 and four millions in 1879.
The Rev. Mr. Butler was called
>n and gave Gcorgia's experience
)f lien laws. He thought such
,orked evil and that continuallv.
'o be proisperous a coultry must
)e self-sustaining, and the South
vas not so, depeuding on the
orth for her food supplies. The
armer who depended on the
torehouse in the city of Green
-ille for his food was afflicted with
moral leprosy. His honest judg.
ient was that Georgia was grow
Dg poorer every day, and be be- 1
ieved the lien law bad much to
,o with it. The country was
;etting in debt deeper and deeper.
'lhe people were infatuated with
he lien law and the credit system,
.nd the only rendy was to go
lack to 'hard pan,' and live one
-ear on ash cake and potatoes, d
nstead of being -a year before'
ud eating each year what ought L
o be eaten the following one.
Gen. Garlington asked how a
tian who owned nothing but land
ould get credit from the merchant
vithout a lien ? No farmer was
Lrced to take out a lien. He was
ot obliged to do it. The mer
hant was certainly not to blame.
Ie could not be expected to let e
'ut his supplies without security. ~
Ie boped the Society would pass .
o resolution on the subject, but
save a man to follow his own dis
retion.
Mr. Livingston said his friend 1
ad forgotten the petition of the I
sord's Prayer, 'Lead us not into I
emptation.' If this law was re
lealed the supplies would go to
he laborers through the hands of 8
heir landlord where it should go, S
,d wer-e not obtained from mer- r
hants independently of tho land
rd. Farmers could waive their
omostead and thus obtain credit, F
nd supply their tenants intelli- ~
~ently knowing every day the ~
dvances the crops would warrant. ~
[be repeal of the lien law woulda
ot injure, but would help the
nerchants.
Gen. Garlington said his friend
romn Georgia forgot that thatI
tate w~as soaring upward in full I
light, while South Carolina had
ust come from under tbe iron
iel that pressed into her heart, f
mnd was only preparing to fly.
he needed credit, and the lien ~
aw was a simple prFocess of get-I
.ing it.
Mr. T. HI. Russell, of Anderson,
.hougbt the repeal of the lien law
vould be a beuenit to the mer
:bant as well as tbe farmer.
Mr. Edwards, of Darlington,
was with the resolution. He did
iot believe the planter should
'ave the right to give a lien.
[hose who were given ability to
,izk for those who would not or
:ould not think for themselves I
'hould take~ away this ruinous
right which did no good to a'ry
>ne. He knew the lien de moral
ized labor, and deprived farmers
>f their services of the best hands.
Maj. Hammond asked if the lien<
law did let farmers alone. It was
not a negative thing. It said 'i
the merchant would lend to the1
farmer it would see that he was
paid. It would be better to let
the fams alone than to run themI
or the benefit of corn growers
ind meat raisers of the West. He
'avored this resolution, for he re
,arded it as the entering wedge
L(ainst mort-ages and liens and
)OndholderS.
Gen. Garlingtou said the repeal
)f the law would stop one thou
iand plows in Ureeuvilie county
Col. Aiken favored the resol- i
Jon.
Gen. Garlington again pressed .
,he question, 'low is the poor
nan or the iand owner to obtaic I
mpplies without the lien law ?
Mr. Humbert, of Laurens, said
he land owner could sell half of I
is land.
Gen. Garlington asked where
he purchaser would be found.
Mr. Humbeat directed attention
a0 temptation offered tenants and
aborers by the law.
Mr. Rucker said the law re
noved the land owner from.the I
juestion and left the country to
e managed by the merchant and i
Le ignorant laborer. The negro
ns.ead of biring himself as a la
)orer, in whieb condition he would i
)c most comfortable. set himself a
ip as a farmer, because the lien
aw tempted him to do so, the
and owner being tempted to re- I
inquish farr.ing and depend on
iis rent. The merchant would be t
>enefitted, for everything that in. C
reased the productiveness of the
oil and the character of farming
elped him.
Mr. Butler, of Georgia, described I
