How the ' Idea ot Fencing the
Farm Originated No Longer
; ' a Necessity For tt'AdTan
'."',', tages Pointed Out, fi
Mb. Editoh:--1 " ' ' l'
, Seeing the columns of your pa-
per are open to the publlo for the
discussion of the stock; law lor
Northampton' county, I . wisi
to offer a. mere suggestioq, since
I am interested in whateverap
peals to , the" general good of our
State and the stock law I think
decidedly affects the material in
terest of any people - Whila I
am i not at present a resident ot
tbe county, yet I do feel a per
sonal interest in. apy question
that promises to advance the in
terestof the exJonty.;'
I have read with much Interest
the discussion in your paper both
for and against tbe proposed law.
I believe those who oppose jt are
honest in their conviction, but
merely mistaken in theiropinion
' First let us consider this ques
lion from a moral buisness point
of view: and : secondly, from a
practical business polnt'of view.
JFrom a moral point as we dis
cuss the question let us see
which should be fenced, the stock
or the farm. Some say the stock;
others say tbe farm, bat mere
opinion proves nothing in either
case. -
The first idea was to fence tbe
farm.", This idea doubtless grew
oat of the' fact " that originally
stock was wild and plentiful. As
man changed his mode of living
from tbe wild savage to tbe civil
ized man he found it more easy
to fence his 'little farm th in it
was to , fence.' tbe wild . beast
Hence this idea. But we are no
longer troubled, with the wild
beast Tbe ' woods are not so
large while our farms have grown
from the little pateh.f potatoes
or corn to the great farms. Thee
changes carry with it the neces
ally of other change i and the old
arguments so strong in favor of
fencing the farm when our fath
ers . were boys are worthless in
many i respects at this stage of
advancement' , , 1 , .
To, fence tbe farm instead of
the stock reasoning from analo
gy in law.) seems very similar to
jailing ' the couaty to protect its
people from the assaults of vio
lent persons. It is the cattle
that does the damage instead of
the farm; so ieta jus try to house
the guilty party.,, ... ..... .. .
For, this law places tbe respoe
sibility of caring for miscbevioua
stock on the owners. It there
fore . protects the innocenf and
com pels the prope r;1 man to care
for his . stock or kill it Many
farmers have sadly realized the
anoyance of mean stock frequent
ly let run at liberty on purpose
by the oner& Under the exist
ing laws the only alternative is
tbe enmity of a neighbor because
of difficulty overstock. With the
proposed law, the lawful fence,
a requirement of. the law that is
bard to comply with and one that
work advantageously for the man
with mean stock-since it is so
bard . to ' prove a fence lawful
would reverse . its burden and
place it where it llelongs since if
his stock should, break oat i
would have to prove his fence
was lawful.'? ''i?''S'te
Secondly, let us consider the
question ' from a practical busU
ness point of view . AfferlMviog
determined . that it is morally
business let us next see whether
it is practical " Is is, therefore,
business? Is it praoticalf f Some
answer "yes," others "oft". But
here again mere opinion counts
for little. Facta tell the Ule.
People' who .have never lived
where stock law exists really
now very little about whether it
would bring good or evil with its
possession. They mayooojectare
but how wildly they miss the
mark is readily seen by loosing
at a few inatancea.- For exam pit
when your railroad from Boy
kins toewiston was proposed;
many coojectarers saw in It ruin
for (be county. But now nope L
osvetmly, the eleepx dreamers
would return to the old - state oi
affairs. '.. .':
Bo to, it is not surprising that
ome who nave tried the law op
not like t and very earnestly op
pose it. Tbnt'is notstrange. A
few opponents do not voice gecer
al dissatisfaction of a county nor
even a neighborhood. Some peo
pie still oppose railroads but rail.
roads certainly are a common
benefit While this class of kick
ers would go - back to tbe old
things when everything .was
hauled by wagon wf ca hardly
tee how, people 4hen got along.
And ; too, some would load the
railroads with tbe responsibility
of bringing alt the bard times the
whole country at large and indl
viduals In particular have sus
tained ever since the first foot of
railroad track was laid." . . -But
does it realty pay where
the law baa been triedf I answer
,'yes'" This -'if shown in the
growth of towns and the improve
meat of . stock where it has been
tried. ' I do not claim 1t has been
everywhere equally .' successful
for in some places perhaps the
people went into it half hearted
and f really only tried it In part
Just as mi n may build a railroad
making a Splendid track run
the road through a fertile county
and yet do no good simply be
cause - tbey . put poor engines on
the track. " Again these railroads
may not benefit a few individuals
though they may do ever so m ucb
good to tbe public generally. You
know the. general good Is what
laws- must seek to benefit and
build up if they would be equita
ble and just rather than tbe few
who might profit by the spoils of
the many. There is an appalling
lack of real information on this
subject .People have such mis
conception of what the law really
proposes. -' Hence I have tried to
furnish a little light because as
intelligent men. honest In our
purposes, and true to our convic
tions we are anxious to know so as
todo what is right .'v
It is claimed thai it -will affect
the market That is frue-t
win. v ant it win prove-, to tie a
decided advantage. You will have
better cattleufor the market and
more cattle' , While your county
furnishes cattle for home market
and: ship large quantities the
same can truthfully., be said for
Rowan t We have stock law and
yet we supply the home market-
Salisbury alone has a population
of about 15.000 people with sub
urbsand at the same time we
ship largs quantities of cattle.
Then we ship better cattle. Tbis
is one great argument for it Cat
tie are better for beef, better for
milk, bettor for butter. Sd far as
I know everywhere that the stock
law exists the county famishes
most Of its bu tter and' m uch bet
ter grade of butter , than where
the law does not exist
Again the cost is diminished.
The cows being better and the
bogs better, quantity and quality
can be bad at tbe same cost as be
fore. Every farmer who . has
tritd it knows the improved stock
i superior to tbe old stock but it
must be kept up and cared for.
To fence the stock and also fence
tbe farm increases unnecessarily
the" cost of raising cattle. . '
Now, Mr. Editor, I do think the
stock law would be adeoided ad
vantage to your people. - Howev
er, as f do not live in the county.
I merely write this as my views.
Hoping the people will act wisely
in this affair, I leave the subject
to jhose more intimately concern

, ltound,
r MrrEaitor; L,ee in your is
aue of the 11th of this month, an
article from the pe$ of Latin set
tibg forj i rofeta fancies ; in
favor of a stock law in Nprtbamp
ton,j Be- taxes aurry couaty as
his . Meal. -Thie county Is the
9th county west from Northamp
ton on the Virgintaline. He states
that 4tbe soil In jSorry Is very
sternid" tnereiorer, tnere is no
range for Block, tttnlstkfa fact
the people of Suy did a goOditt ft othsome; this in his
tbioa- ln'adoDtlntf the stock law.
Now lets place Northampton by
the side ' of Surr' and draw
fair and Im partial dOmDaXaoH.
Surry is sterrile and afford s'noih
ing for stock to subsist on; on the
contrary,'; Northampton with at
least one half. If not two thirds of
ber area outside of; enol6sures, is
set with nutritious grasses aDd
clover..." There is bat little broom
grass in my sectioft, Japan clover
bas taken its placet. .- Our marsh
es abound with ftftds and grass
the year round; and' in summer
it grows to such an extent that it
is a protection to young grass in
winter. I have Mn midwinter
parted the grass and tound the
ground matted with green grass?
This obviates the-, necessity of
silos. - While the tockrlaw may
be a blessing to Surry-.is if is al
most a barren waste, it woay bo
to tbe reverse here for ouiVr
roundings are to' the opposite of
Surry's; and I aifvot thX-opinion
most of our farmers know which
side of their btaadisbuttered,.
eyen if some people" do get their
onttir from Sorryi v" .5. ' v'
: I would like to know "if Latid
takes much stook in" farming and
butter making. But 2'- should
think not as he imports his but
ter from Surry I suppose he
bas two reasons for tMs, First
his cow gives toAequart-of uiSOrjffasit tbgb
for 90 days in the"year; Second
his j taste has become distorted
and he prefers embalmed butter.
The people in my section prefer
it fresh from nature's fountain,
and aS a general thing we have a
surplus. I have sdipped butter
direct to Norfolk on several oc
casions wh n the local markets
were glutted; and not bag ago I
saw pretty good steed banlj get
a; tip in the store of Weaver &
Gay in Jackson, and land on tbe
floor.and the same day there was
between fifteen"; and twenty
pounds offered for sale by the
farmers and no purchasers could
be found. This looks like a but
ter famine in Northampton,
Latin asks in classic style if
I would be willing to turn back
in tbe race of. prosperity and
progress. To this I answer, no.
Bnt Latin seems to have a ten
dency in that direction, for he is
asking the people of. Northamp
ton where her virgin soil is al
most groaning under nutritious
food for stock, and where more
than half her area is beinp-used
for stock, to take pattern after
Surry county, which he describes
as a barren waste, f We can't do
it until he tells us what to do with
our stock. Be . seems averse to
splitting rails, and his theory is
that pine rails are not good for
the health of stock so we must
wait forinfoimation. I am afraid
he expects us . to lie them and
that he fans' a corner on strings.
Some people are averse to split
ting rails or performing any kind
of labor and I will venture the as
sertion . and back that assertion
by o9 of the cows EL H gave wa
terfif the f were mine) that if tbe
time a pent at the one horse towns
country - stores and postoffloes,
discussing and advocating the
stock law, Was spent in splitting
rails and ; repairing fences we
whould hava the best fence in
America. - Latin appears to know
but little about fence making, as
he says it takes all winter and
spring to do it Two average
men can split rails and repair the
fence around a two horse farm in
six days. I heard an advocate of
the stock law say a short time
ago, "I .wish, we had the stock
law here." lasted him "why,"
and he said he had put his hogs
in his pasture and they would not
stay; that they preforred to stay
in his corn field." I presume be
thought the law would have a
sal u lary '; effect upon ' them and
they would stay in the pasture
But if he ever gets the law he
will find the hogs will not regard
it H. H. (another stock law man)
not mor'ethao three months ago,
whan his stock took a liking to
town said to met "H I have to put
my toe4 up-1 had as well cut
tlieir He&e:taK' still he favors a
law to make,. Mm pqt them up.
AnogJit here 1 willbankH. H
for watering some eows he sup
posed were mine, which I am of
the opinion was. a mistake.
' Latin,, seems to have a great
hAalaAdnnVnH CliA.n lii4-4-tv anna
opinion may be a fact ai it does
net" taste of-trine rails. Butlwish
Lto say tojCathv. that I have eaten
butter from the blue grass region
of Kentucky, and from tbe moun
tains of North Carolina and Vir
ginia and from the clover fields
of Maryland and Pennsylvania
and 1 thuik I am a judge of but
ter, and I am frank to say I .have
raised butter on my farm eqnal
to any I ever ate from the places
mentioned, Ard I might add
that .1 had eaten butter of my
own Taising twelve months in the
jearfdr thirty years.
If there is a man in Northamp
ton who does not raise butter
sufficient for his iamily, the fault
lies in him and not in his sur
roundlhgs; and were the stock
law in force here such men would
never taste butter unless some
one" gave it to them.
I am of . the opinion Latin is
-misleading in some of his state-.
mtntB. ; Hs states- .that Guilford
has $15,QP0.00Q -invisted in facto
ries." I am now asking for infor
mation. 'Does all the stockholders
live iu Guilford, and was this fif
teen millions made in the county
sinod'.'iho stock law took affect?
Latin says Guilford has the great
est railroad center in the South.
Did the stock'' law form this oen-
iiwi via tua irouio ot uumuiu
contribute all the money to build
the seven colleges, and was it all
made since the stock law has been
in vogue? Do the people in Guil
lord give all the patronage to keep
them np, or does a large portion
come from counties where pine
rail fences exist? Will Latin
please show us where the pine rail
fences did or did not out any fig
ure in the ' factories, colleges and
railroad centoi s in Guilford. We
are waiting. Latin does not cite
Halifax as a model he dares not
-.-it is to close to us, and its sur
roundings are . or w-re similar to
to ours. As long as the dilapi
dated looks ot Halifax are before
my eyes and J. hear the sad wail
of its toilers whom the stock law
has brocght to grief I cannot heed
the siren voice of Latin.

Tbe church was artistically

The stand was profusely decorat

ers and lights made tbe whole
altar a scene of almost fairy like
beauty. A large company of
friends had gathred early in the
evening to'witness the ceremony
and promptly at a few minutes
past 8 o'clock the -bridal party I
entered and, advanced to rnealtar
with measured steps to Mendel s

Julian Carr is one of nature's
noblemen, He has a, heart

and his charity has been bound

In politics tbe Democrat o
party has had no truer friend
His time, his talents, his mone

their comrade in tne .civil war; to
