The Ouarclinn. FENCE OR NO FENCE. SOME FEW STRONG FACTS ON THE SUBJECT. THE ENOIIMOL'B EXPENSE OF KEEPING LANDS FENCED —THOUSAND OF ACRES SAVED—SOME FACTS AND FIGURES FOR FARMERS. 11. 11. J. in Maeon Telegraph. Tbe election of to-raorrow is of far greater importance to the free-1 holders of Bibb county than the choice of a governor or a member of Congress. In the latter case general principles and interests uro only involved. But in the present instance the future welfare and prosperity, if not the very existence, of the laud owners hang suspended in the balance. Let us briefly sur vey the situation : 1. It is a matter of stubborn fact that large areas of land, em bracing some of our most fertile districts, are so nearly denuded of timber that a general conflagration or cyclone would leave the occu pants without the means of re-fen cing their farms. 2. Even where the forests have not wholly disappeared, the anuual cost of making new enclosures and repairing the old is a cause of seri ous embarrassment, and not infre- AjMßtly- ivbsot-bs'ali the net profits ‘ of the agriculturalist. 3. It is well-nigh impossible to! persuade or compel tenants to keep \ up their fences ; lienee the propri-! etor has no security whatever that! his share of the crops will not fall a prey to the inroads of straggling stock. 4. The time required to split, haul, and place the numerous rails required for a farm, even of moder ate dimensions, exhausts all the spare interval between harvest and spring, and leaves but little leisure for anything else, 5. The fence law is an effectual check to all immigration, as new comers will not purchase farms which cannot be enclosed and kept iu operation, save at a ruinous cash outlay. G. Unless onr feces are abolish ed, the area under cultivation will steadily decrease, until the coun try is no longer able to produce tlje vegetables and other field pro ducts essential to support a dense i population; thus causing great dis tress to the consumer. 7. The perpetuation of the fence law must curtail tbe taxes and rev-; enues of the county, as the aban-; doned lands cannot fail to depre- 1 ciate in the market value; and this evil will but increase with the lapse \ of every year, 8- Do away with the fences, find a period will be placed to the exis tence of the wretched, outlawed hogs and cattle of the community, which earn a precarious support by depredating upon the fields and preserves of the industrious agri culturalist. 9. “No fence,” or its equivalent, a stock law, will greatly improve tlie breed and value of our hogs, j sheep and cattle, as it costs no more to keep thoroughbred animals than the runts and scrubs which infest the highways of the coun try. 10. The abrogation of the pres ent laws will add largely to the products of the orchard, field and dairy, by the ample time which ev *ery farmer may utilize in planting out vines and fruit trees, the col lection and manufacture of home fertilizers and attending to the wants and comforts of his stock. 11. The housekeepers and poor of Macon have a direct and per sonal interest in the result of this election, as the success of the “no fence” men will greatly cheapen the cost of fuel, by throwing into the market thousands of cords of oak and pine rails, which make admi rable fire wood. 12. The poor man ought to ad vocate “no fence ’ because if the i : movement prevails be will be’able to rent or homes, which are now kept ont of the market ow- ■ ing to the fact that the cost of en closing them amounts to prohibi-j tion. 13. The fence law should be vo- i ted dowu, becangafour-fifths of the j landholders of the county are op posed to it, and by every principle ;ot right and equity they, and they alone, ought to be allowed to cou trol the question. The above comprise some ofj the most salient Aasons for doing | away with the present burdensome • I aud almost ruinaas system of fen ces. Many othe&vggumeuts might; be adduced, sufficient to' say that wliencyßißiul wherever the experiment IMPiy-. re<• U _ the result has provet “'Hi' ’ \re .•.^tisifac-.j tory. In every -w ijftn>lyAy iu Georgia, and 'U- JT, JOUt onV rfis*-j ter State, South , but one j voice—that of ajft 3HU-is heard ; s ! i and even the op -1 poueuts, are friends of i j the measure. .Iu conclusion it is but right and / proper to say that.outside of a few j | respectable exceptions, the great ; hulk of those who advocate tho j 1 present fence law are colored vo ; ters, a majority of whom have not : paid their taxes,-or own nothing 1 ' subje’et to taxation. It should not be forgotten also, j | that at the last election the advo cates of. “no fence” were counted out by the votes of less than a doz- { j en old negroes, who could only vote | I because their great age exempted ' them front the poll tax, and who each and singly -swore to the fact j they were not . possessed of one j cent of property, either personal or otherwise. Comment is uagseessary. Fel low citizens of Bibb, aro such char acters to control, the capital, into!-; ligence and respectability of our community ? Answer at j;he ballot box. How HroniK'oole Was itnlucd. George Q. Dromgcplo in 1835 was one of the nlAegt men in Con gress, but his f m*was dissipation. Remorse for a single act of folly— a folly then fashionable' among the chivalry—led him to dissipa tion. He harl a friend, a class-mate at college, fro/n uLeru he was,near ly inseparable. Jf f not a blood re lation h‘ jra* i;ont)ec&*<] with General TJkorxigoole's family ! by marriage. The two friends had ■a slight difficulty; in which the lie was given and the result was a i challenge to the field of (so-called) honor. At the first fire the chal lenger fell pierced by the hall of Dromgoole’s pistol, a lifeless corpse. From the moment George C. Dromgoole saw his fiiend wei tering in his blood lie knew no peace of mind. In the silent watches of the night ho could still see the ghastly face of the compan ion of his boyish days as he lay dead—murdered; and night after night in his droaifis the duel would be repeated, and it was only when he drank deep, that he could find rest from the horrid phantom. Tfce unfortunate victim left a wife and several small children in re duced circumstances, and, although in comfortable ciremnstaces him self, Dromgoole dared not offer relief, because lie was the murder | er of the widow’s husband and ; father of her orphan children. From that moment his resolve was taken, and no miser hoarded his resources with more care and-tried ; harder to increasp his wealth and | to place it on a sure foundation than did General Dromgoole, and although some might guess, yet never knew the reasoD, until after his death it was found that all he ! posessed was given to the heirs | of his unfortunate friend. To : leave it in money might, he feared, : cause those to whom it was be queathed to reject" it, and having I a fine opinion of. Ohio and of her prosperity, he invested most of it in lands in the counties of Pickaway and Scioto, where he was certain j it would rise in value, —Good humor is characteristic of the Georgia press. Even when there is a deplorable scarcity of interesting news, the editors sel | dom get up a warfare among them j selves, and if they attempt it, they I are promptly frowned down by the i pnblic. The cut and thrust style ofcontrovery has given way to more dignified methods. A little humor is iudulged in, now and then, but it rarely transcends the proper! bounds. In fact the main body of Georgia editors display the most j admirable patience and forbear ance,'and their morale is constantly improving.—Post Appeal. — —lf the sun is going down, look up at the strs; if the earth is dark, keep your eyes on heaven! With God’s presence and Gnd’ promi- i ses, a man or a child may be cheer ful. Never despair when fog’s in the air; A sunshiny morningcomcs without warning. ! 1 FARMERS AND FIGURES. WHAT A TROUP COUNTY MAN THEyKS OF FARMING ON BORROWED MONEY. A prominent citizen*of Troup \ county, who ha,s a large* j interes# there in conversation with ! a representative of the Post-Appeal, 'said: ■' “I am truly g!ad,foee you ven tillatiug this money loan business, i and have wondered why it has not i been done sooner.” “Well, it is pleasant to have struck upon a topic of such vital interest to the farming population, j What do you thiuk of the Post-Ap ■ peal’s figures ?” ■ • | “Winy they show just what the i money lender fails to explain, viz: ; that when the mpfiey is bon-pwecti ! for fiVoyeurs, tire farmer paysTs t-ore -i nf.Pi'ftnt x*t tbe Amount ; lie gets. When $l,OOO is borrowed ! and $2OO deducted therefrom as a I commission, he still pays interest 'on $2OO that he never gets; aud I wbrse than all,she has to pay prin cipal and interest bn the $l,OOO, when ihe actual money loaned is $BOO. You see there is a trap ip I that commission that is not gener ally understood by men .who don’t look into the arrangement careful ly. Your figures in the ‘Herald of yesterday showed plainly that the rate of interest for the five years was 15 per cent per annum. Now, if farmers can borrow money at that rate of interest, it does seem that those of us who manage to run our farms without borrowing at all ought to get rich in a few years, but we don’t do it.” “But isu’t it possible that they ; can better afford to pay 15 per j cent, on money than from 20 to 30 I per cent, on . provisiajisr and sup plies bought on time ?”* ( “That depends upqn what rate ! they pay for credit. If we are for ced to buy on credif JWfhink sup plies can be at aborit 10 i per cent, advance otr cnfefr prices, but if we don’t watch tlienv. the ; merchants will gobble us up as I quick ns the money man. Besides, j there is this difference, tliat you (only want about nine months at imost to pay for supplies bought on the credit system, whereas you have to borrow the money for the j long term of five years ; or else I dose tip the dou tract for the year | with 35- per cent as your : figures shewed. iY; itfanftrii ngifti the fanner j and he will by examining the con ditions, that lie does not pay eight ! percent., but 15 percent for all the ! money lie borrows from these loan ; companies. If homun afford to piy | it, very well; if it. ruins and de prives him of a home, lie should i blame himself for being so ignorant 1 and fool-hardy as to borrow money jat a larger per ceutage than it will ' yield when applied to his farming j operations.” The gentleman alluded to is a I former Representative of his coun j ty, and a man \\;hose opinion al i wins carries weight with it. *- | Possibilities of the Future. The master, in Luther’s day, who took off his cap to his pupils on i entering his classroom, drew on himself the blame of his fellow j preceptors for his needless coude- Iscansion. “Why you, a learned doctor, make a salute to a : pack of ignorant boys ? You ought | not to lower yourself by doing any thing of the kind.” “But,” grow up to be learned doctors like ourselves, i and others may become wise and grave magistrates, or distinguished warriors, or skillful counsellors in affairs of State. I salute their future, which I see lying behind tbe round, thoughtless faces that igreet me in the class-room.” Was ;he not light? And when standing before the poorest audience may not the preacher fool that a future ;of untold magnificence may be represented there? Behind the : faded dress, the patched coat, the hard hands, and thin, pinched lips, may be concealed the spirits that shall stand arrayed in light nearest to the throne of God.' And what is mote, that glorious destiny for them may depend, under God, on the way we deal with them now. Is it not enough to stir up our hearts to their utmost depths so that no persuasion may be left unused, ))o word unuttered which might prevail to wean them from their sin and woo them to their ; Saviour ? When Jesus beheld the multitudes He had compassiou on : them. As He drew near to Jerusa ; lem, He beheld the city and wept ; over it. Everything was forgotten but the misery of perishing. Shall we not lay to heart the lesson of the Redeemer’s tears; and moved with something of like pity, strive, toil and pray for the salvation of souls, immortal souls ? 1 —Americas Recorder: Two thousand dol lars clear cash what was made hist year by a plucky young man of this county on a rented plantation.

I ; say it boldly—neither Patti nor Nilsson bom pars with a certain vo calist I have in my mind, and whom i I have the pleasure of hearing'ev ery day of my life.” You amaze me!” exclaimed Judge • Markham.,To whom can you possi-. bly have reference ?” “To my son,” said Colonel Toll, proudly. “To my chubby, silver voiced son—eight months old and a daisy.” -~ J “Oh, pshaw !” said Judge Mark ham. “Fact?” persisted Colonel Toll.. “If he hasn’t got more music in him than all the prima donnas in. Christendom I’ll eat him ! I sup pose you would call him a. kind of' , a high baritoue—at any rate I’d rather hear him execute one of his nocturnes than the finest diva in grand opera. Talk about expres sion ! Why, I can tell the minute he opens his month what he means. If he commences in B flat and strikes a descending fourth D in alt, I know he is pleading for his -. bottle. If, on the other hand, his song is fortissimo with what rnusi cans term the vibrato, I instantane ously arrive at the poipt that a pin. is sticking into him. Or, if he murmurs an aria sotto voice, erst-- while clutching at his sides, with j his dimpled hands, I am satisfied] j he has colicky pains and needs par : egoric. i * “That boy,” continued Colonel j Toll, “can move me when my emo ; tions would be bomb-proof against | the voice of a prima donna. In his i wails, I hear the moauing of winds, the requiem of pines, the sigh of broken hearts, the plaints of au iEolean harp; in his laughter there is the song of birds, the rus tle of angel wings, the music of. heaven, the purling of brooks, the* chime bells, the warmth of sunlight aud the soft, mellow glow of an Italian landscape. Every man t.Q his taste, of course; let others’ squander their wealth upon bigib prieed divas with their trills and appogiatures aud crescendoes and ditninuendoes, but as for me, I shall continue to revel in the and harmonies which are to heard off and ou during the night as well as day at the northest coiV ner of Eighteenth aud Welton streets.”—Denver Herald.
