REPLIES TO V OTHER, WRITERS Declares That Home Grown Beef Is As Finely Flavored And '..' ,A8 Palatable as Any;- . . Mr. Editor: . - , "A' ilise observer "has ingeniously , nd ably presented the: only s real argument in iavor of the no fence law. t Inch stripped of sophist and Verbiage . amounts to thU: The cattle tick pre--vents.the gene.-al introductions of the large .improved breeds on the' bpen rang they should, therefore, be closed, that the larger cattle may be raised and jhe sma'l nativextack eliminated. ( . But .brother Lane's experiment, before Che stock law was introduced into his jieighborhood, , shows that the closing , of these ranges is Unnecessary, for, if JUe could "keep clear of the ticks" in a thickly settled district, with a com paratively smnll pasture, overstocked with both ciiiJe. and ucks, otber stock raisers can, in the larger nicouvded ranges, where the surroundings- are more favorable. Henc any of the large land owners, desiring to engage in stock raising cai do so with impunity aod no more fen cing than if the range was closed. 4 have no desire to "jus Icad" so I frank, y admit, that I believe the stock raise 1 in the no fence districts is larger and better then those Taised 1 in the woods. But is the quality of beef any belter? Ivthiuk not. Our na tive cottle, taken from the - woods, .stall-fed and ' fattened,- makes as sweet juicy and fine-flavored beef- aa the largest imported and improved stock," ' and our' piney-woods,. hogs, according to my taste, .,make better, sweeter bacon and pork than the larger( breeds of hogs improve! only in" fattening qualities ana size. - This being true quantity must be taken into consideration as well as roality. "Don't try to mislead'.' "Lets have more cattle and , better caule and get r'd of the cattle tick." '"Fence your pas. j re and have quality". Let i. obc beef v;igh what two will now and hove quality instead of quantity.'' This sou ads very well, but do the stock raisers ii the ho fence districts in Craven ''..Pitt,- Greene or , any other place raise, iu proportion to the num- her engaged in the business, more beef and bitter beef, at the same cpst per pound, than those in the open range districts? If they do why does Hot the ' most of New Bern's beef supply corffe from those districts? The dear old city is in one of them and, others are . near at hand. If it pays to ship beef hundreds and hundreds of . miles from Chicago to New Bern it certainly ought to pay to ship it from adjoining districts and counties within a radius -of 50 or .60 miles. And. it seems to me, that if those districts rasied meat in great abundance, had, more than enough "and a plenty to spare,; more of their sur . plus beef woald find its way to our city market. espefiaMy when good fat beef from the open range can be sold at, 10 cts a pound delivered on the cars at Havelock, which as the agent informs me is the price now' offered.;; , There is another thing that need's correction. The writers seem to think that it is unjust to permit one man's --cattle to graze on another mauls1 land and Brother Lane says there is no law ior it, but .he evidently,, knows more about farming and stock raising than fae does about law.-- "The", lex , noni cripta", the unwritten., of commolri law. and custom or immemorial usage, 'is as good law, and just as binding as the; Statute ; Jaws; Stock has been allowed to graze on unfenced lands irom; the first settlement in the' State to the present timi. and the custom has long since ripen :d into la w; There jt no injusiice wu aever in it.-;- i ue land owners are" d prived-of , no right and have no cause of complaint.

CLAIMS IT WOULD BENEFIT WOODED AS WELL , "- AS OTHER SECTIONS. Mr. Editor: r i' - I enioved reading the' letter in tour recent issue from our gobd friend Daniel Lajier who layors a ,tstock laws Mr. Lane is a safe man and generally right on all subjects.,' - : , vVe have a "good illustration w a limited way of the benefits-of a stock law in a oart of -the Eighth Townshio of this countyA line running from the mouth of bachelor's-Creek on the Ncusi river to the mouth of Blackledge Run on, .Trent i riverabout.' six or seven square miles.. ' I believe the value and profit- ,ot; the. cattle: and hogs in that ; small territory is-greater, than all the other cattle, and hogs in the whole of the balance of Craven county. Look at the solendid cattle and hoir'3 of Messrs. G. T; Richardson, W, H. and F; L; Bray- and W F.- Crockett ltd others in Yhe. stock-. territorv. They get the benefit of, the. manure of their cattle and they; are sheltered and pastured On their - own .land. . The nilk .butrfer and beef are- clean and palataole and not fevered , up with ticks and "subject -to -other filthy dis eases and unfit to cat as the tickyeattle are.'' Still they are surrounded by the ticky -district, ' and are not allowed under the penalty of the law to ship their cattle beyond the ticky district from the fact the several adjoining counties around herr are embraced in the tick-district. Hence they cannot send their live stock products beyond the tick territory and bring new mortey into this section.;- Our prices for such, live stock are controled and kept down because we are in tae ticky district, neither can we. import improved stock into this section without the 'risk of their death from tick fever unless they are vaccinated. " The State-wide stock law would benefit the wooded sections and free pasturage districts even more than . it does the limited -territory. Are we always to be kept down by the ignora-nce- that prevails on this important subject ? 1 , :x - , HERE' IIEKT WEEK LOCAL MERCHANTS TO OFFER MANY INDUCEMENTS TO PURCHASERS. ..

This city is preparing to entertain the largest crowd that has attended a reunion of the Confederate veterans since the organization of the associa tion. It is a matter of history that the first stepsoward organizing the South ern survivors of the civil war were taken in Chattanooga. The New Or leans meeting, at which the organiza tion was effected, by the election of Gen. John B. Gordon commander-in-chief, resulted in large measure, from agitation started hereby Capt. J. F, Shipp, and others, for and association of -Confederates. The New Orleans meeting of the association for Chati tanooga July 3, 4, and 5. 1890. Under all of the circumstances the people of v-natianagoo leel that it is their duty to exert every effort to make the coming reunion a'brilliant success. It is cer tainly their pleasure to do so. ; The date of the reunion is May '27-29 inclusive. Only three months remain in which1 the work of the organization may. be done, but it is well under way. The various committees have been appointed ,and are at work in , their respective spheres. Information gath ered from all sections of the south in dicates that fully 150,000 people will be here. ' The Passenger departments of all tne ranraoas navme lines entering Chattanooga, report that already there is much interest in the coming reunion. Inquiries are received every day about rates,, hotel accommodations, and the progress of the work incident to the entertainment of the veterans and the thousands of visitors that will be here. The head of the passenger-department of one of the largest railway systems in tne aoutn, nas served notice on the people of Chattanooga that a record breaking crowd may be expected. The Confederate ' vetrans will be camped at Jackson Park, a delightful resort almost within the business js tricts of the city This camp has been named "Camp Stewart", in honor of the late Uen. A. r. Stewart, the much beloved and noted southern chieftain, who won fame on the- ereatest battle fields of the civil war and snent his declining velars in Chattanooga as a memDer ot the Uuckamuga National Park Commission. ' The motion to name the camp for him was pup by Mayor T. C. Thompson, and was unanimously - adopted. MRS. THOMAS HYMAN ENTER TAINS AT A DELIGHTFUL , BRIDGE PARTY.
