A Plea for the Cattle Nature Intended They Should Roam at Large More Fences Needed. (The writer requests The Cauca sian to please copy. ) To the Hditor of The Iiobesonijin. After waiting for some time in the hope that some one, who might wield a more fluent pen, would take up the subject of no fence law in reply to an article from the pen of Mr. B. F. Keith, published in your and other pa pers, 1 feel it my duty, prompt ed by a spirit of human kind ness toward my yet fortunate fellow countrymen who are still resting- under the wings of na ture's noblest resort of freedom and liberty, to give them a few items in regard to the No Fence Law. I write from personal ex periences in my daily occupation and surroundings. Now, in the first place, I will say, in justice to Mr. Keith, I do not know in what part of our State he lives, and perhaps if I did I might be somewhat more lenient with his views on the subject: vet there can be no ar gument held forth that could ever win me over to favoring the stock, or no fence, law in any lo cality, under existing circum stances. I am a farmer's daugh ter, having grown up on the farm, and it has been part ot my life work to tend the stock of different kinds. I know their nature, their habits, their wants and their capabilities; I also know that an all-wise and over ruling Providence has provided grass and herbs for his creatures that we, His higher animals, can only supply by artificial means. I have been for fifteen years or more living in and out of the territory of the no fence law, and here m Kobeson county we do not need it, and the majority did not want it: it was forced up on us by a petition of many forg ed names of women and children who never even saw it. I know there could be many arguments brought up in favor of stock law ; I have lived all along the line of the many provocations that we had to endure before we had this abominable law forced upon us, such as seeing our cattle and hogs spoiled by some one's little pen with a shabby, unlawful fence, teaching otherwise harm less cows to jump, and our hogs to throw off rails; I have also seen the cattle come home bleed ing, shot, cut with axes, knives, etc. We knew this was the work of some worthless coward, "the meanest kind of a person," of course we would say, but when you have tried the no fence law, you will then decide thateverybody isthemeanest kind of a person. And while all these things are annoying grievan ces, they are nothing compared to the many disadvantages and toilsome labor brought about by this law. Mr. Keith speaks of the one or two select cows, and the abundance of milk and but ter. In regard to this, I say you can have one or two good cows, and have milk and cutter tor a short while, but my experience and that of hundreds of others is that the cows in confinement will not stay in a healthy condi tion for any length of time; and then you will have to be daily planting and gathering for them a change of feed they must have, and then they are subject to diseases hitherto unknown or heard of indigestion, sore feet, hollow horn and tail to say nothing of the many unnatur al vices they develop when confined. Cattle are gregarious animals, andtaken and kept alone they become in a measure insane or idiotic; and there is another great disadvantage: when there is a little herd, or one or two kept for weeks in a pasture, the flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and other insects become a horror, collecting there and remaining there through the entire season, becoming so numerous ot eve nings as to completely cover the legs and underparts of the cattle, so that one can scarcely discern the animals' color, thus render ing them poor and unprofitable to their owners. This goes to prove to every intelligent, reason able person, that cattle were in tended to roam at large, going one day in this direction, an other in that, thus shirking any great collection of insects, if Mr. Keith will just travel over this section of country that I have recently passed over, 1 leel sure that he and many others would change their minds in regard to many things. Here' and there along the roadside is to be seen a poor. forsaken-looking cow, chain ed to a stake or bush, in reach of scarcely a mouth lull ot grass, W. McLean, President.

Some one may say, why not build pastures on this land? You will find, when you have tried it, that the pasture sys tem in North Carolina will not provea successfor the reasons, and many more, above mentioned. 1 here are men all over our coun try who own acres and acres of wood-land, who, if they are men, and not narrow-minded oppressors, are willing that their less fortunate neighbor may own a cow and that she may feed on his land gratis; yet he does not feel able or philanthropic enough to build a company pasture for all those around him who are not land owners. How many chil dren are denied the benefit of good, nice milk in case of sickness? No doubt many die for the lack of it, since this abominable law was forced upon us. And in re gard to the section of country where there is no stock law, I have spent some time there no great while since, andean truth fully say I never saw finer cattle, with greater appearance of good milehers than I saw there, going in herds as God intended them. As to hogs, you may have a few shut up in stiffling pens or pas tures, but our experience is, it will not do to feed on corn in confinement; you must plant, dig and cut lor them daily, for they will not thrive without a contin ual change of food; and here in our community it is a mistake about their not having diseases all the difference is, they are not here in most instances to have diseases; but I have known peo ple near here to lose every heg they owned by cholera breaking out in their pastures. Hogs, too, like the cattle, will develop un natural vices, such as eating chickens, and I have known a sow to turn on her own brood and eat every one of them after they were three weeks old. It is common for them to de stroy right young pigs when they are in close pens. This is due to their lack of recourse to their natural element, such as branch es, swamps, etc. One who is not a close observer of nature may not know that hogs search the woods and branches for little snakes, water lizzards and worms. In the section of country where the no-fence law has never been there are also fine hogs and plen tiful, while here in this communi ty there are honest, reliable men who will testify to the fact that they never bought a pound of bacon till since this law was enforced. We and the neigh bors mostly are still kicking against the paper sack, tin can, Kansas beef (hold-your-nose- while-you-cook-it) system of liv ing, and still have a few cattle and hogs; and we know only too well what it costs to keep them. They must be daily and, I may add, hourly looked after; all our spare time is completely ab sorbedno time to visit even a sick neighbor, to say nothing of a spare moment for recreation ; and I might almost say, no time to attend church. This is life in the stock law as we find it. And in regard to the piney rooters destroying the for est, I ask Mr. Keith how came those beautiful and magnificent forests of pine and oak all through this part of North Caro lina? They yet are here, and have been far more abundant in the scores of years that have gone by than now, before the no- fence law was ever heard ot in North Carolina. It is now, since this law is upon our land, that the timber and young growth is destroyed by fires; for this rea son: Now fire is set out, and, since there are no iences to oe protected, no effort is made to stop it, and it sweeps on and on, destroying everything in its track m proportion to the season: and as to our sea sons ' too wet or too dry," this is a problem too deep for me to fathom ; I can only say, I think this a tremendous strech of Mr. Keith's imagination, to charge this up to "fire and hogs." No, Mr. Keith, what we need in North Carolina is more fences and better fences, more stock and bet ter stock. Select honest, true heart ed, Christian men for our legisla 1 3i s,menwho arewillingto live and let live, to whom the poor man's interests are as dear if not dearer than the rich oppressor's. And in conclusion I will say, the above -i - .it given iacts are indisputaDie; and you, my friends, who are halting between too opinions, let me entreat you if you ever pray and we trust you do never fail to put m a daily petition that this curse, No Fence Law, may MT.

They have been taking alcohol And then a little lye, and Oh, They made a stuff to make the women cry! But Oh, how glad she is going dry! And as we bid the stuff good-bye, 1 wonder is anybody going to cry? For it's been the ruin of all our nation In country, town and station. She once was wet, But now she's dry; And Oh, how glad no one can tell, As we bid the stuff farewell!

It is S lggested that the general government will not feel called upon to assist in enlorcing a State law, and since this State law abolishes all registered dis tilleries in North Carolina the occupation of the revenue officer will be gone. Among the officers the feeling seems to be that, while the force will probably be reduced, a number of deputy collectors and other employes of the internal revenue department will be kept on the pay roll in North Carolina. The revenue force in this State has been reduced to a consider able extent since the Legislature began the enactment of laws re stricting the manufacture and sale of liquor and for the past few years, probably, the princi pal duty of the revenue officers has been to ferret out and de stroy blockade distilleries. A deputy collector stated in Greens boro today that, but for the presence of blockaders, he and most of his associates would be without goverment jobs. It is these same blockaders- and the class is expected to grow in num bers in some sections that will cause the government to keep at least a certain number ol revenue officers employed in this State. In this connection a revenue officer is quoted as saying that only five sheriffs in North Car olina have exerted themselves to any special extent in enforcing the provisions of the Watts law, which gives to State and county officers the right to desroy illicit distilleries.
