tdPThe candidates keep right up with Jim
Williamson’s tax collecting appointments at

had a crowd of them in his wake as he was

they are at work on the railroad, and they
were so numerous that the people along the
road thought they were a lot of new hands
going to work on the railroad.
MPT he Town authorities are putting in
some sensible licks in making street cross

prominent walk ways through this dreadfully
muddy town. It is hoped such improve
ments, once begun, will continue until the
tax-payers generally can pass to and fro about
the town without miring up over shoe-mouth
deep iu mud and slosh. It is not only in
convenient but abominable, gentlemen of the
Council, to be thus thwarted and annoyed by
mud everywhere, when it can be helped to a
great extent. The school girls, at least, can
and will appreciate the efforts of the Council
looking to cleanliness, which, you know, is
next to Godliness.

Wednesday was the biggest day for the
candidates that was ever known here. Jim
Williamson was here for the purpose of col
lecting taxes, and the place was alive with
other candidates. I will give the names of
a few that was on hand, and if the remainder
is omitted it is their own fault, as I insisted
on all coming up to the board and registering,
and some of them may not have done so for
reasons best known to themselves. Ten cents
was the registration fee, and it seems that
there was none of them but what could afford
to pay this small sum. The following is the
list of those who registered : Capt. T. C.
Williams, Judge 11. W. Bell, Ist Lieutenant
J. W. N. Lanier, 2d Lieut. J. L. Williamson.
3d Lieut. Tlios. S. Johnson. Orderly Sergeant
Jfcckdlaynie, Ist Sergeant Croff. Wills. 2d
Sergeant Jas. M. Sailers, 3d Sergeant W. P.
Boggs, 4th Sergeant S. E. Bailey, Ist Corpo
ral L. C. Bridges, T. A. McElhannon, Colo
nel commanding, and Old Foggy, Brigadier-
General behind the scenes. A line of battle
was formed about 1 o’clock, in front of the
Post Olfice, and a volley was fired at the
enemy. The shells then commenced to fly in
every direction until about sundown, when
the above named officers and a host of pri
vates retreated in the direction of Jefferson.
I can hear of only a few wounded and Ist
Sergeant Croff Wills missing. Later—Croff
Wills has come up unhurt, and several of the
other officers have been promoted.
—Mr. John R. Ray has commenced to
build a dwelling in the lower part of town.

living this year with Mr. J. 11. Scoggins, was
carrying a sack of grain to Mr. J. S. P.
Richie’s mill Wednesday morning—the morn
ing was a cold one, and the young man, it
seems, had spurred his horse up to a gallop
—as he was turning a corner near Mr.
Keith’s the horse stumbled and fell, breaking
the young man’s leg about half way between
the knee and ankle. Dr. L. G. Hardman was
called in, and rendered the necessary assist
ance, and says lie is doing as well as could
be expected.
Reception and Oyster Supper-
The young gentlemen of Jefferson will give
a reception and oyster supper at Pender
grass’ Ilall next Friday night, December 3rd,

will be an admission fee of SI.OO for a young

Fence or No Fence.
Is it Promotive of the Interests of the People
of Jackson County to Fence in the
Stock Instead of the Crops ?
From recent publications I understand that
this question will be voted on early next
summer. It is important, therefore, that gen
eral inquiry be made as to the propriety or
impropriety of the proposed change. As
much light should bo thrown upon the subject
as is possessed by the citizens of the county.
All the reasons going to support the affirma
tive of the proposition should be adduced and
duly considered. On the other hand, all the
objections thought to be of weight to the pro
posed change should lie presented and care
fully considered. If this should be done our
county will be able to vote intelligently on
this question and settle it satisfactorily and
for the best interests of all. Let us have the
subject fully and freely discussed.
I propose to bear some part in this discus
sion, and while I shall insist on the adoption
of the proposed change, I hope every one who
finds objections to what I may present will
be free to express them, that thej’’ may be
fairly considered.
This question is before us, and will not
down at our bidding. It lias agitated the
public mind in this State for more than twenty
years, and no doubt will continue to do so
until the change from fencing in t! e crops to
fencing in the stock is put on trial. This, I
believe, will settle the question for all time.
There arc many parts of the world so desti
tute of timber that it is absolutely impossible
to fence in tiieir fields in the usual way, and
land is in such demand and so highly prized
that owners cannot afford room for ordinary
fences, even if the timber was abundant.
May we not reasonably suppose that such
will be our condition at no very distant day.
Our country is rapidly filling with inhabitants.
And, at the same rate of destruction among
the timber, original forests will soon be a
thing of the past. Should we not be thought
ful enough to provide for the preservation of
our timber for necessary purposes, before it
be too late ?
In my next I will give some reasons in
favor of the no fence law.
