The Hen law shnply means that a" merchant, factor, or any one can ad vance to a f armor money and sup plies, and take a lien on the crop that that man’s labor is expected to produce. The claim of the lienee comes first; if the lienor disposed of any partof the crop, over $20 in vale, before the lien is paid, he is liable to a fine of $600 or two yean* imprisonment, or both; if lem than $20 in value, he shall not be fined more than $100 nor impriaoned for more than 30 days. Now. does such a law encourage usury? Is it in the power of the unscrupulous landlord-lienee to keep the improvid ent tenant shackled with debt in definitely? On the other hand, does the ability to obtain credit in such circumstances encourage hundreds, without equipment in industry or intelligence, to engage in fanning? Does it furnish a means by which thousands of unprogressive, improvi dent, thriftless men may exist—to tlie dertiment of the lands they im poverish, and the fanning interests generally? Does it take away from thousands of fanners the spur to acquire independence? Is it or is it net a fact that a credit system of this deseriptioa is a certain sign of uaprogrearivenes*, f and invariably holds down the debtors? Has the Han system been nsceassry for the development of Ihe agricultural States that have been conquered by the pioneer and the immigrant? Whether or not the Ikn low should be repealed. Is a large question, and it is to be'hoped the legislature is prepared to deal with it judicially always remembering that not persons, but the 9tate at largo, has first claim upon its consideraton.—- The State. ‘ ( ..v j ac In rsfareee to the ether matter of providing for an examination of the officco of the county by experts, we believe the people of the county are practically unanimous in the opinion that this be done, hence the delega tion will probably have no hesitation in making provision for it.
