Phone 3331 THEY DIDN’T LIKE IT Black Mountain Citizens Blast "No-Fence Law" “Black Mountain and the no fence law” is the title of an in teresting story sent in by Mrs. A. B. Whitt of Swannano’a. The story appeared in the Asheville Citizen of Nov. 7, 1885. It seems that the citizens of the township of Black Mountain had taken issue with the county commissioners in regard to pass age of a stock law. The resolu tions pointed out that the town ship citizens were opposed to the law, overwhelmingly, with only six or eight being in favor. The citizens pointed out in no uncertain terms that a recent publication in the Asheville Citizen concern ing stock destroying the crops of a Mr. McNair to be erroneous and without foundation, as his fence is sufficient to secure all crops on his farm. The resolutions follow: BLACK MOUNTAIN AND THE NO-FENCE LAW. At a meeting held by the cit izens of Black Mountain Town ship, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted with regard to the adoption of the Stock Law in said township: 1. Resolved, That we, the cit izens of Black Mountain township, deprecate the action of the County Commissioners and Magistrates in their action in regard to the stock law. 2. Resolved, That we as law abiding citizens of said township, do agree to maintain our system of fencing to secure our crops and range our stock as heretofore until the final decision of the case by the courts. 3. Resolved, That we do oppose the stofrk law unless ratified by a majority of the qualified voters of said township. 4. Resolved, That there is an overwhelming majority of the landholders of this township op posed to the said law not with standing it has been published that there were not more than six or eight land holders opposed to it in this township. We declare that there are not more than six to our knowledge in said town ship altogether who are in favor of the stock law. In regard to a recent publica tion in the Asheville Citizen con cerning stock destroying the crops of Mr. McNair, we declare the said statement to be erroneous and without foundation, as his fenc ing is sufficient to secure all crops on his farm. This the 7th day of Nov., 1885. E. B. KERLEE, Chairman. J. W. WALKER, Secretary, W. St. G. WALKER, Asst. Sec.
