where Stock Law would benefit our i

large per cent, of our people own !
small places, and most all of their i
land Is In cultivation, and we have
no land that wo could use as pas

ple of raising any more nogs than
wo could raise in a pen or lot. It
would also prevent us from having
beef cattle to pht on the market to
help <ib out, with our money mat
ters. I have traveled through and
lived close to Stock Law counties,
and have seen but a few cows there,
and they were generally common
looking stock. And there was very

there were none, at all
Now, Mr. Stock ^a») ?. • n, if you
study over thin matter, Stock Law'
means more ferae and better fence.
When we try to keep our »iOgs con
fined, they will naturally break out.
If there is any chance.
In this county, we depend on pea
nuts to fatten our meat, ano there
fore our fields would have to be bet
ter fenced, if our hogs are to get the
benefit ot oar peannts. Also, a pas
ture In *lilch to raise hogs would
be required, if we had the land to
enclose.
If there 1b any man who wants to
build a pasture or has a pabiure and
wants to confine his cattle and
hogs, he has that privilege of doing
so, without Stock Law. SucT a law
would undoubtedly put the laboring
class of farmers at a great disad
vantage.
We notice that Thomasville han
dles more country meat then any
other kind and that Is a big thing
to say. That means prosperity in
