the “Fence” and "No Fence” issue
is drawing near, will you take “Un
cle Henry’s” advice?
I now live in this great “No
Fence” section oi Georgia, near At
lanta. The land is almost moun
tainous, very rough and picturesque,
and from the vast clay hills project
vast millions of granlt* rot*s. All
over these virgin hills grow bound
less forests of short leaf pine, oak,
hickory, gum, poplar and other va
rieties. Of course, there is lots of
farming done here, in spite of the
red clay and rocks, hills, terraces and
“no-fence.” If you ask a man here,
why Is there no fencing to be seen,
he answers, “It is in self defence.”
So we can easily surmise the reason,
viz: That if ho should build a rail
fence, it would soon fall overboard,
down the hill. If he should try a.
wire fence, as in Thomas County,
every post-hole would have to be
blown out .with dynamite.
Again, the rich men own most of
the land. It pays him to have ‘-no-
fence.’” The poor man has to rent
from the rich man or get off the
earth. But these reasons and con
ditions do not yet exist in Thomas
County, thank the Geod Lord.
Gentlemen, stand by your com
mon sense and reason and rights.
•Men and women who toil and pro
duce the wealth of the land, are
the ones who should enjoy it. So.
let dvery man vote for fence and
more fence and better fence.
Listen, it is not the “no-fence”
proposition that’s the matter with j
Thomas County, as some of the
large land-owners would have you
believe. (They know it is not.) |
Well, what’s ihe matter with her? .
My friends, there is nothing the
matter. She is still the Garden |
Spot of the Southwest, If you don't I
believe it, Just get in the road and
rubber-neck all over the South, for j
a better farming section, and you |
will have to hurry back home a wis
er man. Now, brother, would you
have the key to yoi*r success? Ask
your neighbor, Brooks Ccunty for 1/.
Your need is more f'mee, more stock,
better stock, more feed stuff left in
the ground for your Berkshire pigs
to get all winter and next summer;
more work and more common sense,
and less talk about “No-Fence.”
Wishing you all much success, and
trusting that your wives and daugh-
ters may soon be allowed to vote,
and help make laws by which she
and her children are to be govern
ed, I am, yours very truly,
