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 hereby repealed.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Hereby repealed.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assembly had repealed the chatl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
