A FARM VIEW.

A bushel of oati ior a pound of binding twine; a pound of butter for a pound of sugar. This is about the condition of the home market f r which tue farmers voted last fall. If they don’t like it, there .s no one to blame but themselves. because the cities and manufacturing districts, as a rule, voted the other way. If protection makes high w r ages, the farmers ought to come in for their share but on this deal it looks as if they were “getting left.”—Savannah Journal. We urge the American Protectve Tariff League to investigate the charge made by one of the Seripps League workingman that in visiting the “Ashbury” car shops near Birmingham, re found th t establishment engaged in tilling a contract for 8,000 journal boxes for the Pennsylvania K lilroad Is the great Pennsylvania ra ’road buying things abroad that it could get for twice as much money in its own State? Will J. Moore has bought out the interest of R. F. Priest in tho grocery business of Priest & Pax - ton. Success.

“The iffiprepsiop has grottet’ out,” said Judge Taylor, “tli a J decided recently that the act concerning liens of mechanics, i laborers and materialmen, ap proved March 6, 1889 (Acts j 1889," p. 257), is unconstitutional and void. That is a mistake. I made no such decision. My ■ decision was that said acts of 1889 did not repeal section 5 of the said act of l w ß3 (Acts, 1883, p. 140), and, consequently, that j the sth section of said act of iBB3, is still in full force. My reason for so deciding is this: The title of the act of 1889 among other recit jls has this: ‘Repealing section 5 of said act.” (act of 1883), and the body of the act, section 5, provides that section 4of the said act of 1883 ‘be and the same is hereby repealed.’ Now, sec - tion 5 being mentioned in the title to the act, and section 4 in its body, makes the attempt* l ed repeal inoperative both as to section 5 and section 4 of the said act of 1883, and leaves both of those sections in force unoer section 115, article 4, of our State c onstitution.”
