There are 42 couo ties in Not ih Carolina that have the stock law, and surely they bave tried it sufficiently to know whether it Is a good thing or not; and if it is' so bad, as Mr. Bat bam soema to think it is, why should they not get it off of them wbeo they can do so by tb.p mere asking?

Barbam Asked to Explal'r Wby so Many People are o- lAg JiVdaTSortimiiipton to , 'laliiax to Live, Editor Times: ' 7 ' ' About ten years ago a gentle man, who now resides in this county, said that he jsold a car oad of beef cattle in Norfolk, Va. for 4 rents per pound on the boof. Tbey were reared here in Northampton County. On the same day a car of beef oittle shippod from the Western por tion of our State, and sold in the same market lor it cents per j pound. Wby ehoul.i thqre be such difference?- TheNortbamp lou cattle were fed onv& "nutri- lious grasses and cloveY,', that grow, so spontaneously around iro. uarbatn sraua tbey wer I kept out of the corn fields by tb 'pine rait fence. The Westem I cattle were the products of the cultivated grasses in the stock law sections of our State. 'The r J cattle fed on Mr. Barbam s "nu tritious grasses and Japan clo ver" are but a very little better than the wild meats, while those produced from the cultivated grasses are in neb more savory and.wholesome as food .These aro the reasons of the diffureuoe in price. Mr Barbam says bis people prefer, butter that is fresh, but be failed to tell why so many of the people of bis section leave all that . "nutritious", grasses and fresh buttet and move away to Halifax, a stock law section. I should not like to leave a county that flows with milk and freh butter, and whore the forest and fields , wave like , a great ocean with the "nutritious grasses tsed Japan clover"as Mr.BarKam l..Js represented NorthauiDtor .10 b to go to a poor, despised , sTyyJbu tike be seems to think Halifax to ber I should think his people would cot wan1 to leave, and go tu a stock law section and cat em balmed butter while it Is so plen- Ana B 'lua w"o tne capitalist tiful vana fresh at home:" If blsl'eeted" tbeir" monffy. id North Carolina in manufacturing why did . tbey not locate where tbev have pine rail fences and a boun tiful flow of milk and fresh but ter. produced from "nutritious grasses and Japan clover. , Wby should they have settled down in a stock law section if it is so bor rible as some seem to think? Mr. Barbam seems to think tbat Latin has a corner an strings but it seems to . me that he, (Mr. Barbam) has formed a trust with 'nutritious grasses, Japan do ver" and reeds as capital stock; and if he has. then be ought to be more charitable to the poor fel lows who are less fortunate, and Lave only a little broom sedge. It 1s a great pity that Latin should have mislead Mr. B. and in order to lead him ! aright 'will say that wbile Surry is sterile of soil that in the whole of middle North Carolina they have the stock law in . boib fertile and sterile sections and it seems thht they like it so well they are not trying to get rid of it.

Halifax, -county can boast of three banks,, yet M r. Barham can see nothing good in it. Now will be please tell us why so many people 'leave thiB county and go to Halifax?

It we should adopt the stock law, I sincerely believe tbat it would so improvu our condition that enterprises would rapidly develop and ' prosperity c would soon be so deeply rooted mat it could not nor would not be eradi cated in centuries yet to come.

What is needed jn.tbis county is more fences. - &very r should be fenced in sections. - This is neoessa ry to utilise thejproducts of the farm to advantage. . I have s- en and felt it to a greater extent this year than ever before. Spring oats were low for the want of rain, and at least one third were left in the field, where they were not high enough to out at all, and I think I am . safe in saying if my farm had been fenced in sec tions as it shonld have been, I would have had ample feed for my hogs for three or four months, which would have carried them to the. time for peanuts. And here the section feno ing comes in again; also for a fence on the outside. So it is selfevuient to every one who has a farm that fence in Northampton is a necessity to the land owner. Any-who are of the opinion their stock will be bene fitted by pasturing them in an en closure should do . so. - But - the fence around the iarin is a necessary evil, if it must be called an evil by the opposition. And it is an evil that if abolished will work disastr ously to the land owners of this sec tion. Alow brother opposition yon wno uo not iixe ran splitting ana manuel labor generally, ' stop the howl that you can't get any one to split rails and uo it yourself, and put your farms in a condition to be profitable. jnow tor toe nnmanivy part oi tne Question. There are many in .North ampton who own no land and by the land owners allowing tneir stock the raise, as is now the case, it is a de cided benefit to them and without this privilege they could -. have no stook. The are renters ana can't afford to build a, pasture every year, and it is Tor tne land owner to say whether he can ' afford' to let him string ..them to astake in Lis field, that is, if he has auy to string. Mow brother opposition, 1 think 1 have olearly shown that it is to the interest of the land owners of North ampton to fenoe their farms and alf must admit that it is an act oi cnar- ityand humanity,-to permit those who have no lane to have the bene fit of your range ' when it is more than enough , for all. : Now brother opposision, cease your clamor for the stock law and join me in advocating more and better fences, for you must admit the fence system in North ampton is to the interest of all, and if it were not deoidediy to the inter est of land owners, I wonld advocate it in the interest of the other class as self interest does npt always act uate me. ' In mv next artiole I expect to ex ercise a spirit of badinage, as I like a joke, even at my own expense, and will sometimes bring it about to gel a ssy at the other fellow. .It. & liAEHAM, Eehoboth, N.
