Air. Barbam Asked to Explal'r
Wby so Many People are o-

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

ber I should think his people

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.

boast of three banks,, yet M r.

it. Now will be please tell us
why so many people 'leave thiB
county and go to Halifax? We

they have the stock law, and that
section now shows better signs
of prosperity and more evidences
of progress than anywhere else
in North Carolina, so there-are
where the manufacturing inter
ests are enjoying a ; mar velous
growth, The schools : are.; all
flourishing and prospects: of a
general prosperity grows bright
er as " the yearj go by. , If we
should improve our . pros pee t.e
there would be an influx of capi
tal, and a steady grow lb. of inter
prise. 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.

ed to be a wedding march which

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.

mg . the supply to meet ' tbe de
mands of the cotton mills. This
cannot be done by foroiDg,ihe
crop ou the market and closing it
out iu the buyers during the first
three : months of the fall. Any
farmer wishing to hold his cotton
can place if iu his local warehouse
and use - the w warehouse re
