AS TO LIEN LAW Mr. Woodley Sends Leiter in Re ply lo Mr. Jones. To tho Editor of Thc Stato: I sond you a fow lines in regard to Mr P F Jo?os letter on tho lion law Mr Jones seems to think if tho ijion law is killed, farming will coaso Ile thinks ho can not rent his land out and have it furnished Prob ably ho can't but ho can have it worked on shares and furnish it himself and collect his accounts .just the samo as if ho had the lien law. Mr. Jones knows that the landlord has tho right to sell all of tho crop and collect his accounts from his share cropper without a lien and when that is done Mr. Jones' land and all of tho rest that is rented out to negroes will make moro cotton por acre than it is now making. Mr. Jones says that with thc lien law he gets enough of the farm product to settle tho accounts. If he has always dono that he has been a vory lucky man. I never have known that to bo tho case. In my section there is not a year but some merchant has to close out some Honor. Mr Jones says that if tho lion law Us -kitted we shall make less cotton. T. can't'?08 where it would neeessa rially cause rtifi to make less cotton, .because tho nogro can bo hail to vwhtfk uUie 'Jay^s vu shares and I can "safely say when that is tlotio And intellect has tho supervision of the .farms, wc will make, moro colton than wc now make. Mr. Jonessays he doesn't think our legislature is composed of good business men. If ho truly thinks that I don't see why he should bc worrying himself about thc lion law being killed, But on tho other hand if it is com posed ot good business mon I foci .satisfied it will bo killed. Ho says '?that if wo take that law off the sta tute books wo shall have more fail v,.'th merchant-1 ~. -or any ono oise, whether his crop pays expenses or not, antipasto tho .class of renters that would bo fur nished without, thc lien law they .would be afraid to act tho rascal ?with tho merchant, for it would bo their eternal doom as to being fur nished by any merchant thereafter; in short I will say that tho lion law puts a premium on rascality.
