Mr. Davis Discusses The No-Fence
Question.
Thomasvilie, Ga., May .5, 1014.
Mr. Editor: —
As there is to be an election on
a Stock law, or No-Fence law in the
near future in Thomus County, I
have been solicited oy numerous
friends to write a few lines on
same.
In the first place will state the
writer lived in North Carolina, un
der the no-fence law for several
years, and found same to be a hard
ship on the non-iaud holder, and
also the small ones too, while some
of the larger one3 experienced trou
ble as a result ot this law.
There we raised corn and pota
toes with which to fatten our hogs,
while here we raise peanuts to fat
ten hogs. We will be compelled to
keep up our fences In order to get
the benefit of our labors, for we
would have to know where our hogsj
are when ready to kill, and rot r.ave
to look the country over o find
them. They would probably
found on our neighbor's peanuts or
impounded by our neighbors, and
then we would have to pay the Im
pounding fees when w© got them
out. In these rases there will sure
lv h© hard feelings between neigh
bors over same; yea fights and even
deaths.
For this and numerous other rea-
ons I stand pat against this pro-
>osed law and think wo had bet
ter let well alone, as we have been
living and doing fairly well.- as we

the writer’s judgment it would mean

and if killed by reckless drivers of

same and recover damages from any
one.
It Is also a well-known fact that

led folks, who would let our stock

by the writer, on the 20th Inst, af
ter having built a pasture last De
cember. I put my hogs in same,
and they have remained there until
let out the night of the 2.1th Inst,
on the public road. They were out
only a few minutes when they were
run down and killed by car iun by
a young man, who was, at the time,
intoxicated. Tho writer Immediate
ly began to search for the guilty
party, and after doing so, h° *s sure
he will have to apply to the strong
of the law to get justice. If per
chance then. incidents similar to
this one will continue to happen, and
then we will have no recourse at
all.
Some few, whom I have heard
express themselves have said already
that the farmers should keep their
stock off those roads—the publi
roads—which belong to every citi
zen of Thomas County, every o
whom Is taxed ;o build and main
tain. and on will- a every body should
have equal rights to use sun
There are some who think, judg-
ln ' from the a ay they pass other
autos, wagons and buggies, tha: Hi
have the right ot way and are en
title! to same. The writer *’
served some of these re'kless driv
ers. while meeting or passing oth
or vehicles, or while turning eurves
rrn at the rate of 4n t<» 10 mile:
per hour, thereby endangering their
own lives and the lives of others
And right here, the farmers’ stock
also suffers.
Now, I think all will agree with
mo that these reckless and don’t-
care auto drivers should have a
guardian; and by the way, this writ
er thinks we should have a more
stringent auto law. The towns and
cities fix the speed limit in same:
why should the country people he
discriminated against in speed lim

there is so murn travel and short
bends at short Intervals?
ay to the voters of Thomas
v, to whisper into the ears of
who may offer themselves to
represent us. or speak It aloud. If
needs he, that the farmers demand
a mere stringent auto law. I sug
gest that we have a speed limit out
of the towns and cities of 2.1 to 20
miles per hour in the day-time, and
from 15 to 20 miles per hour after
dark. Also, when one auto meets
anoth<4r, or wagon, buggy, or any
drawn hv horse, mule or
other four-footed beast, on nearing

per hour. On "eelng hogs or cat-
r other live stock In our on

limit speed to .1 ir 6 miles per hour.
enactment of such a law will
oractlcally alleviate all danger to
life and property, and cause a bet
ter feeling by all concerned. And
there would b« practically no dan
ger sustained by any one.
In this connection, will nay that
If all who run autos would run them

of a few that the writer has ohserv-
there would be no need of a
more stringent law. It Is needed for
the reckless and the don’t care driv
ers, whom. I venture Jg^^y, has
never paid a dollar of roan tax.
I will mention a few of our model
and careful drivers; Mr. B. H.
Wright, Dr. Ferguson. Dr. Culpep
per, Mr. A. M. Watson, Mr. E. Gib
son. Mr. A. H. 3. Cook, Dr. J. B.
Palmer, and many others. Such
gentlemen as these, and others that
could he enume-ated, need no re
straining law, a* they rerpect and
care for their own lives and prop
erty and that of others.
•Now, a word to future represen

up and elevate the farmers of the
stato of Georgia and County of
Thomas, and tho county will con

cities continue to prosper, make
laws that would oppress the tillers
of the soil, and tlm towns and cities
wHf'aurelv feel the effects, whether
they lipe it or not.

Georgia In the United States sonata.
A NNOUNCEMENT of his candidacy for the United States Senate by John
M. Slaton, of Atlanta, to fill the unexplred tdttn of the late SenAtor A.
O. Bacon, has met with widespread approval all over Georgia.
Letters of endorsement and promises of support have come to him from
thousands of people in all sections of the state. Heoond his friends have
heard from every county in Georgia, and theso Reports all dedicate that his
eloction is absolutely certain.
As a member of the general assembly in both branches for a period of 16
years, during eight of which ho served as presiding officer, Mr. Slaton has
performed every promise made and met every Mbfffeation assum'd. When
he aids the legislature to make provision for refunding maturing state bonds,
which wrlll be done at the coming session, the etftlre platform on which he
was elected governor will have been enacted into law. Thus he feels free
to submit his senatorial candidacy to the people
In his formal announcement Mr. Slaton state* that ha Is first a Georgian,
and points out the splendid opportunity for ths states oi the South to regain
and reestablish the recognition to which they are entitled in national af
fairs. He stands for community government and the preservation of the
political rights of even the smallest community.
His position for economical administration of government is reinforced
by his successful efforts as governor in the reduction of the expenditures of
the state.
He opposes needless extravagance In national administration and the
further extension of the Federal pension system. Regarding a senator as
an ambassador from the state to the national council, he believes
in making the interests, rights and prosperity of Georgia hie first consider
atioo. He holds that Georgia should receive her due proportion of ma
terial benefit from what the state gives to the volume of American exports
and that legislation should aim to further the Interests of the fanner and
the produoer. He urges laws which will advance the Interests of labor and
asserts that he will use every effort toward the development of the material
and educational Interests of Georgia.
POINTKD SXTRACT8 FROM
SLATON'S ANNOUNCEMENT.
The following are some pertinent extracts from Governor BffRmfs for
mal announcement of his candidacy:
“While holding tho nation in reverent regard, I cannot forget that I am
first a Georgian, and I believe that each state and community should govern
itsolf so far as ft compatible with tho public istereata.
“This principle of general government 1 have ^ndeavored to illustrate in
both official and political capacity, and only recently urged upon the State
Executive Committee of our party the primary tn$£ortanco of preserving
the full pollt'col rights of even tho smallest county. And I am pleased to
note that In the rules adopted for determining the contest in which I shall
be engaged, such Is done in conformity to the ftt&tfena upon which I was
nominated for Governor.
"The products of Georgia soil, as the proffiaotB ot oil Asaorlcan soil and in
dustry, should find easier access to the market# Of CUe world, and enlight
ened statesmanship should contribute to that eifd.
“My creed rests in the established principles df democracy.
"I havo, both as legislator and executive, especially stressed tho practical
wisdom of an economical administration of government and am gratified
by the reflection that during my administration for the first time in many
years, tho expenditures of tho state of Georgia have been reduced.
"Inducement to extravagance in the administration of public funds Is
subtle and ,often, apparently, compelling, and the tendency to extravagance
in tho administration of national affairs has been appalling.
“As sonator, particularly shall 1 he opposed tp the further extension of
the Federal pension systt-m to meet an appetite whkh can not bo satiated
and whooe greed now threatens to Include aa wards of thp government even
tho descendants of original pensioners.
“I shall favor all measures tending to imprerra ear greatest Industrty—
agriculture. And the fanners need nothing morn than the privilege, right
fully thoira, to obtain morjey at the Interest rates allowed other industries;
and I shall favor such rural credit systems at win- enable them to do this.
’If it shall bo tho wffl of the people of ray state that I become one of
their representatives in the United States.Senate, I shall diligently strive
to avail myself of every opportunity to develop every interst of Georgia.
“Until the election I shall be occupied in caring frJr the public Interest*
entrusted to me as Governor. Being thus preveiffed from engaging in an
active personal canvass, I submit my candidacy, in all confidence, to tho
people tt Georgia.’*
80METHING ABOUT
JOHN M. 6LATON’S RECORD.
Governor Slaton’s public record Is fresh in the minds of Georgians.
Elooted to the house of representatives in 1K96, he served continuously in
the general assembly for sixteen years. Ho was speaker of the hou*b
and president of the state senate continuously for eight years, having been
elected to both positions without opposition, a record not achieved by any
other Georgian. An president of the senate, he became governor ad Interim
between the retirement of Senator Hoke Smith and the second installation
of Governor Brown. Thus he has been governor twtoa.
As president of the senate he cast the deeming vote in that body for the
Income tax amendment which has since becomo a part of the Federal Con
stitution.
He was called to the governor's office in the rammer of 1912 by a vote
of tho people so overwhelming that it might be said tfi have been unanimous.
If there is one thing he may be said to have stood for more than another, it
|b the prompt payment by the state of its obligations; and his chief work
as governor has been in rehabilitating the state's finances. Measures urged
by him and already adopted by the legislature. It -hi believed, will accom
plish this. I
