Upon motion of Capt Natt Atkinson,
the following telegram was yesterday
ordered to be sent to Raleigh by the

House, to the Farmers' meeting then in
session in Raleigh :
Asheville, N. C, Jan. 26th, 1887.Q
To the Farmers' Convention at Raleigh
The farmers and land owners of Bun
combe county, in convention assembled,
send greeting and urge your body to pass
strong resolutions requesting the Legisla
ture to broaden the scope of the Agri
cultural Department, and especially to
increase the expenditure to induce im
migration to this State. -

Dr. McGlynn thus defines his position
on the land question. It is clear and
explicits ' v
"My doctrine about land has been made
clear in speeches, in reported interviews
and in published articles, and I repeat it
here. I have taught and I shall continue
to teach in speeches and - writings, as
long as I live, that land is rightfully the
property of the people in common, and
that private ownership of land is against
natural justice, no matter by what civil or
ecclesiastical laws it may be sanctioned; and
J would bring about instantly, if I could
such change of laws all the world over as
would confiscate private property in land
without one penny of compensation to the
miscalled owners."
Do our friends in Asheville of the
George Land and Labor Club endorse
these views? I this the Agrarianism
they propose to introduce into our State!
A plain yes or no is requested. No fine
spun distinctions or metaphysical subtle
ties will satisfy onr practical people.

A correspondent writing us from Clay

following particulars of a Union soldier
recently dying in that county and being

rayed against brother in mortal conflict.
On the 19th inst. Mr. John Led ford

A Splendid ; Delegation fc
to Raleigh to. Consult wilfe.'
, I'tne Seaate Commttt"
Pursuant to a call made Saturday, a
large and representative meeting of the
farmers of Buncombe met in the court
house yesterday to consider the question
of the passage by the Legislature (and
especially by the Senate, the bill having
passed the House,) of what is known as
the Pearson repeal of tbe Buneombe
Stock Law.
On motion, Capt. A. M. Alexander
was called to the chair, and the repre
sentatives of the press were requested to
act as Secretaries.
The chair requested Mr. W. G. Can
dler to explain the objects of the meet
ing, and this gentleman did this in .a
brief but forcible manner. He was de
lighted to see this gathering of
the good people of . every section
of the county. He felt a vital interest in
this question it was not a political one,
but one that appealed to the best inter
ests of every farmer in Buncombe coun
ty. He wus a sound Republican, and
that from principle, as all know. There
were many Democrats present who were
so from principle but they all felt alike
on this subject. This was a meeting of
tbe landholders and tax payers of Bun
combe county who had met to stand by
what they, deemed right, lie had no
policy to advocate anAo emmity to re
sent, and wanted to see ; the meeting
void of any such feeling ; wanted to
hear no harangues against any 'in
dividual, but only to hear the broad
issue discussed and considered as to
whether it was best that the present
stock law for Buncombe county should
ha yanao I al ' t-t A wno a Dtnb-Joir Tl T

our people, and he believed so stV$and
the more he saw of its workings the more
he was convinced that it was fir the
good of the whole people. The law en
acted two years ago had been enforced,
and it would work hardship upon the
farmers to repeal it now. If let alone
for two or four years there would not be
found fifty me$ in . the county
opposed to it give it a test, and
the people will not do without it; if
after trying it they do not ' want
it, then repeal it. Don't tear it to pieces
before trial. We came here to consult to
gether and to send delegates to Raleigh to
go before the Senate committee to protest
against the repeal of the stock' law. ' The
bill as passed by the House is so ridicu
lous and so expensive in its character that
the stock law men of the county cannot
have a fair vote ; if nothing else can be
done, throw out the obnoxious features of
the present bill and give the people the
plain question. He had no ' abuse for Mr.
Pearson, the frame r of the bill, but this
bill was of such a character that the people
of Buncombe who were opposed to it
could not vote upon it with justice to
themselves. Send good men to Raleigh
to express the real sentiments of this
meeting, and he believed the Senate and
the Legislature of North' Carolina would
be prevailed upon to let the present law
stand until it could have a fair trial
that was all the friends of the stock-law
asked. The speaker here discussed the
merits of the stock-law and its effect
upon the farming intet ests of Buncombe
county. The farmers could not set their
crop for this year and at the sante time
build new fences by the month of Sep
tember as provided In the Pearson "bill.
If in three or four years the law is
found objectionable, . then . repeal it.
The speaker would not say-.that Mr.
Pearson had so framed . this bill as
to bring about its defeat human nature
was human nature and it is possible
that a little "personal ends'',, may ' have
crept into this bill. If fie-Senate can
not be prevailed upon to give ns more
time to try the stock law, then have the
bill so framed that the people of the
county can vote for it without such
objectionable , features let us - vote
upon it as a naked - question. .The
stock law men of Buncombe county
represented three fourths , of the tax
paying element of the county Enact
laws enabling the farmers to raise pro
duce, and you help the farming interests
and the country at large. -The stock law
was the only one which in his estimation
had ever. been passed in the interests of
the fanners of Buncombe county. ; '.
, The speaker was frequently applauded
during his remarks. '. ; ...' .. ' . .
' Mr. C. B. Way moved that a committee
be appointed to prepare '-resolutions ex
pressive of the sense of the meeting, and
the committee consisted of Messrs. C . B.
Way, T. B. Long, JRieag. Israel, Cling
Hunter, J. A. Reagan . L. M. Hatch, R,
Clayton, ii. Plumadore, W. M. Kirnmell, J
LT Yoong, T. K. Brown and J. D. Carter.
While the committee was absent Mr. II .
i ' ' J , . , . : 11 3 J
. A vjuuger rcBpuuueu tw cans uuu uu
. vlresstd the meeting briefly. . Two years
ago he advocated the stock-law before
the Legislature, believing it to be for tbe
best interests of the people of Buncombe,
and he still believes so. He wanted no
legislation against the farmers. He felt
sure the State Senate would givea hear-
yng to any delegation that might be sent
rom this meeting as representing Bun-
, combe county." It was the privilege, of
i faia meeting should speak with no un-
I certain " sound. There should be
Vecrimination in the matter
hg ;'o? the' ' past' we had
ho deal with the future in this case,
Jhat future'-;' was of imminent
v,Vto ns. We had no complaints
jMat iajpie present : emergency
mai.tbeni in a proper spirit dl this-.
and he felt confident that' the Legisla
ture of North Carolina would listen to
ns wjith the same spirit If we did our
duty -the bill would be killed so dead it
would never be heard from again-. '
The repeal bill, if it becomes
a law, would work great hardship upon
the whole farming interests of Buncombe
county fences had been torn down and
destroyed, and in a great many instances
the farmer would be unable to replace
them. We should give the stock-law a
fair trial before repealing it. The tax
paying element of Buncombe county
demanded the law, and it was their sal
vation' he n eant the farmer. All classes
of business bad its rights established by
lfw, and why should not the farming in
terests be protected ?
The speaker said should he desire
popularity he might go back on what he
believed to be the best interests of bis
people but the men who did so only
wanted tbe spoils and honors of office
at the present moment, and were willing
for the future to ta'a care of itself.
The committee on resolutions sub'
mitted the followimr, whibh report was
adopted :
- Whbrxas the last General Assembly
passed what it is known as tne "Bun
combe County Stock Law;" and whereas
it was made absolute in certain town
ships, and left with the County Commis
sioners and Justices to suspend tbe

farmers have no timber o re-fence; and
wnereas tne repeal or otner interierence
with said law would work a hardship on
many farmers of said County and ruin

beneficial to all farmers; -
Therefore be it resolved : 1. That we
are opposed to any bill or measure which
looks to .the immediate submission to
the people until said law has been fully
tried.
2.rhat we request the Senate of
North Carolina to defeat the bill now
before that body.
That these resolutions be transmitted
to Hon. C. M. Steadman President of the
Senate, with request that he place the
same before the Senate.

..Capt. Natt Atkinson introduced a res
olution relating to the greater efficiency
of the State Agricultural - Department,
whichwas adopted and ordered tolegrap
ed to the Farmers' Convention now in
session in Raleigh.
Gen. Johnstone Jones responded to
calls. He desired to be silent at this
meeting, but wonld briefly express bis
views. He' said though the stock-law
men of the county met with defeat last
fall, a mere defeat does not always de
cide the principle of right or wrong.
The questions now being considered
were of vital moment to the farmers and
tax-payers of Buncombe. He he felt was
mainly responsible for the stock-law,
but he was still willing to stand by it
he had no apologies to make for his ac
tion, as he still believed that if the law
was given a fair chance but a short time
would elapse before the whole county
would endorse it. This meeting had a
right to be heard at Raleigh, and it
would receive a hearing at the hands of
Senate com mittee, and he could but be
lieve the expressions of such a meeting
of representative citizens of any county
would meet with favorable .consideration.
The speaker said personally he was sat
isfied with the result of the election ' of
last fall, and he now spoke only as a cit
izen of the county.
Col. T. B. Long also responded to calls
He said this was no political meeting
if so, it was a queer one ; ' the onening
speech was made by acknowledged good
Republican, there had been two speeches
by two of the best Democrats in the county
and now he, "a good. Radical," was closing
it they were all there for one purpose, in
which all taxpayers were' equally inter
ested. Hestronly ;. favored the present
stock law, and if Buncombe should recede
from it she would be retiogading and be
come the banner county "in going back
wards. The Colonel's remarks were earn
est and pointed, but we cannot follow him
farther.
The meeting throughout was harmoni
ous and earnest, but no rescriminations or
hard words were said against any one.
