It is impossible to bring up any question upon which all men agree and this is especially true of a pro ject like this which militates against an old custom. It has been found difficult, in the past; to eradicate ' well recognized abuses because they are old and the public has become, used to them. The well known re tort of the unprogressive gentleman, who balanced two watermelons in one end of a sack Across his shoul der by two rocks in the other end, when remonstrated with by a friend, : that "Daddy carried a sack in that way and what was good lenough for dad is good enough for me," is illus trative of the inertia in human nature. It is troublesome to change our habits and we are prene to dis cover advantage to ourselves in the very unnecessary labor which our - imperfect methods devolve upon us. The strongest, at least the most practical; and the most apparent, argument in favor of the stock law is the rapidly ; increasing cost of fencing." The timber is growing scarce and "pari passu" fence rails are advancing in value." This is in " dependent of the argument adduced to show that nt fences produce neat farms and avoid a waste of; much valuable soil. ; It is contended on the other hand' - that the "big farmers,'" the owners of large areas of bind, are, the ones to be benefitted by a stock law. We doubt this. They generally have many acres' of "out lands" most of which, is timbered and with them rails to fence their comparatively small areas of improvedland. are.not scarce. Is it not rather ne small 1 farmer, whose timber is almost ex hausted, who will derive the most benefit from this law ? Following thisne , of thought it would seem bnd a doubt that the men who own no land, who depend , upon renting the lands of others, would -not only not be benefitted but would be positively injured by the ;atock -law. Where would their stock range ? Where, indeed, does all of their stock that is worth any thing graze now ? Will they risk Essex hogs, Durham cattle or Cots wold sheep out in the range ? There is no doubt but that the law would thin out "scrub" stock, "razor-back" hogs and the like a consummation most devoutly to be" wished. - ; -; . . This is like the tariff issue. . The protection tax is charged and it all comes from the consumer who pays : it.' The great number of surplus rails are made and the cost at last comes from the men who make the . -. - A- ..- i rails or the men who buy corn, for" , the cost is added to it. The renters of Caldwell county make nearly half the rails. ' ' Bead what a correspondent of the Raleigh "News and Observer" says . , The cost of building and repair ing fences in 1879, per acre, of im proved land, -was in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties, 6 cents ; in : Duplin and Sampson counties, 31f ' cents. ,;. ,. y ; . I Deducting I the cost of the fence 'repairing from the value of the farm r products in 1879, we find that the average vield of an acre of imnroved i land was : In Mecklenburg and ! Cabarrus counties, $9.30 ; in Du i plin and Sampson counties, $7.76. ' Mecklenburg and Cabarrus coun ties are no fence counties and the 'cost of fence building there is 6f cents per acre. ' Duplin and 6amp- son are fence counties and the cost is 31 - cents per acre. ; The men who tend the soil pay it. The value of farm products in the two former, where extra cultivation was employ- f ed, is nearly $2 per acre more than: the ether two where so much time : is devoted to fence bntlding. . . - . The Lincoln "Press", says that a twenty-mile , railroad will be built frc;a,Hount Holly to Denver. - i , i Application will be made ; to the; Legislature to change the charter of Hickory so - as to allow it to issue tends to the amount of $15,000 to tzild a town hall, to build a bridge riders the - Catawba river, to pur c! ::3 th3 Ilcrse ford toll bridge and 5 the streets. xizxi gCmHaEss is cci3.
