QThfvew and X)r~tt WINNSBORO, S. C. Saturday, lanuary 19, ;: : 1878. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associato Editor. Liens on Crops. Some difference of opinion 800111 to prevail concerning the scope of the Act of the Legislaturo repealing the lion law. The question hai beon asked whether the landlord's lion -to the extunt of ono-third of tho entire crop-may still be onforped. A consideration of the different stat utos on the subject wvill clear away all doubt. The act repealiug the lien law is a" follows: Be it enacted, etc., That Sotions 55 and 56, Chapter CXX., (if the Revised Statutes, relativo to lions on crops, and all amendments thero to, are hereby repealed on and after the first of January, 1878. All Acts and parts of Acts inconsistent with this Act are horeby repoealed. 'The sections referred to in the foregoing Act are as follows : ?55. If any person or persons shall make any advance or advances, oither ini money or supplies to any person or porsons who arengagod, or about to ongage, in the cultiva tion of.the soil, the person or per sons so making such advance or advances shall be untitled to a lion on the crop which may be mado during the year upon the land in the cultivation of which the advances so made have been expended, in preference of all other lions, exist ing or otherwise, to the extent of such advance or advances : Pro vided, an aqremont in writing shall be entered into before such advance is made, to this offoct, in which shall be specified the amount to be used, or in which a limit shall be fixed beyond which the advancos, if mado from timo to timo during the year, shall not go ; which agrooment shall be tecorded in the ofico of the Rogs ister of Mesne Convoyances for tho county in which the person to whom the advancea are made resides, within thirty days from its date. Section 56 simply prescribes the noethod to be pursued by the lience, in the enfbrcoment of his rights under the lion. The Act under which landlords have a lien for their rent is as follows: Be it enacted, etc., That in all cases where land is rented,. either for-a share of the crop or for a stipulatod sum in money, or for so much cotton, corn or other product of: the soil,. the land so rented shall be deemed and taken- to be an ad vance for agricultural p)urposes, and the lairdowner, upon reducing the contract of letting to writing and recording the same,, as p)rovided in ?55 of Chapter 120Q of the Rovised Statutes,.shall h:ave a iiOn, on the er-op which may be- made during the year upon. the land, in p)reference to all! other liens, existiuig- or other wise, to an amount not exceeding ono--third of the ent,ire crop so produced', to be applied, to the satisfacetion of' the rent stipulated to be paid!.. In all such cases, the landlord shall have all the rights according to persons advancing money and other supplies, as pro-. vided in ??55 and 56' of the same Chaptor, to the extent of one-third of the crop as above stated. (Stat uites at Large, Vol. XV r. page 788,) It will thus. be seen that the landlord's lien is not created by the s'eotions repealed, but by' a separate and distinct statute. That statute has reference to the repealed. Boon tions only so far as the latter pro scribe the methods to be pursued by the landlord ia- enforcing his rights. The repeal of these sec tions, therefore, does not in any way impair tile rights of landlords to their lien on ono-third' of the crop. The statute creating such lien remains intact. Nor does the sweeping clause of the. repealing .Aot of 1877--"That all Acts and parts of Acts inconsistent with this Act are hereby repealed"--affect the landlord's lien. For the- Act creating that lien is nowise incon. sistent with the provisions of the Act of 1877.' The only connection between the Act giving landlords a lien andi the sections of the IBovised Statutes providinga lien for advances is that the remedies provided in the latter dre made applicablo to, the former. 'Ahe .rogation of the lien for ada~ vance in no way affects the romo-, dies available in the enforeoement ef' the landlord's statutory lien, landlords lion, to tho, extont of one. third of the crop, rewains ui impaired, and may be cuforced by the saino methods hrotoforo pur suod.
