O. Henna , real es tate agent. Bee directory of county officers in local column: DiNqiiuliHcri Vuln# This is an important question to tlio voters of Holts county at this time, as the rights and privileges of our people are at slake in tlio election to he held the 10th of this month, on the "Stock Law.” We publish, for those interested, that portion of the law, from the Acts of 1870 ('fleeting the m i jority of people subjugated to the law, on illegal voting. Since the adoption of the Constitution of 1577 no man who has not paid his pole or other taxes, shall he allowed to vote in any election in this Stale. Wo have been informed that at least lour or five hundred citi zens of this county arc disqualified un der the law. It is but right and jus tice to those in nrears for taxes, that we put them on notice. A list of the tax defaulters of this county since the year ’77 will he made out, whose votes will be challenged if they at tempt to vote on the 10th instant. The matter of illegal voting is a very grave one, and if the Judges of the Superior Court were to charge the Grand Juries as the law directs, and the tax hooks and election returns examined into, there is no telling the number of in dictments that would he found against citizens of our county, for illegal vo ting. We venture to say there is men in this county, who have voted every year since 1877 without paying their polo tax, and for each and every vote so east they have subjected themselves to ho indie od ; and if our Grand Juries do their duty, under a soltn oath, they will see that the law is vindicated in this respect as well as all others. Yet, we can’t say that we are in sympathy with the present law qualifying voters. We believe that every man should lfnve the right to exercise that prerog ative, above all others, free from any incumbrance- whatever; and yet the revenue derived from it, is appropria ted to n good and noble purpose—edu cating orphans and children whose pa rents are not able to educate them, and for this reason a man should not grumble at having to pay pole tax. The following are the amendments to Acts of 18711, respecting the quali fication of voters, and approved Octo ber loth, 1879 : “Any person who shall hereafter vote at any such election, who has not resid ed in this stale one year next preceding said election in the county in which he lias so voted, or who has not paid all taxes, which, since the adoption of the present constitution of this State, have been required of hitv previous to the year in which said election occurs, and which ho has bad an opportunity of paying agreeable to law, Ac., Ac., shall be purnisbed as prescribed, Ac. "It shall not be lawful for any man ager of an election, or other person, to receive any money for taxes on the day of election, except the Tax Col lector, and if any voter shall vote who has not paid his taxes, his vote shall be illegal, and the commissioners who consolidate their returns of the elec tion, shall no* count such votes in ma king out their returns. Approved March 2d, 1871. It is evident from tihe two foregoing sections, that you must pay all taxes due the county and State, since the year 1877, and that they must be paid to the Tax Collector before you can vot<*. At this ratio, instead of Butts county polling about 1 *s**o votes, in a few years about 0 or 8 hundred will be disfran chised under the present disqualifying laws. Every year adds to the tax de faulters list a large number of disqual ified voters; and it is the case in every county :u the Slate —thus the poorer class are yearly becoming disfranchis ed, and in a few years, the government will he entirely in the hands of and contrnled by the more wealthy class of people. W'liat then is the poor man fis do to reestablish himself. He is not able to redeem hispid vilego to vote, consequently cannot elect his man to represent and legislate for him. He becomes a mere figurehead under the government which lie lives, deprived of the rights and privileges of a free citi zen, intended for him under a free re publican government. Onr laws are growing more oppressive to the poor, and stop bv step the land lord and cap italist will controle this country, as it is now done in Ireland. Tusselmu tliiii on the Stock Law, Editor of Jackson News: I have seen so much wrote, and have heard so much said, for and against the stock law, that Tam disinclined to write on the subject. Resides it scents that wo can’t reason well together. It seems to the writer, (hat there is various things coutroling men on this is-ue. There is stock men who conscientiously believe that the law would he for the good of the coun ty. There is the fence men who con scientiously believe it would not, lie best for the country ; they both have a light to their opinions, and are sincere in I liej-c differing. There arc likely oth ers that is considering the fence ma jority in the. past election and would like to ride into office by it. * There arc others who arc quick to de cide and bulldoze in things of less im portance, that arc rot for fence or against fence, hut on the fence, ready to fall off on the big side, and exclaim, “I told you so” ‘‘or I did not do it.” Let us lay aside prejudice, classical and political ideas and calmly consid er the question, for it is one of impor tance. My opinion is (he stock law would be a blessing for all, land hold ers, non land holders, rich or poor, re gardless of sex or color. POOR MAN. I believe the poor would ho especial ly blessed, for a largo majority of them arc farmers, and their entire depend ence to got supplies and live is upon what they gather from their farms ; then, it is to their interest to protect their crops lawfully ; to do that the present law requires a fence four and a half feet high. And under a recent net of the legislature, it is a penal of fense to even cripple any stock from a valuable horse to a sorry hog unless overy panncl of fence is lawful. The penalty of the fine is as high as tun thousand dollars or imprisonment not to exceed six months in the chain gang ; they arc also subject in a civil suit for damages to the owner of the stock ; there are few poor people espe cially the colored, could pay the lino and stand the civil suit for damages. This law is of late date and we have not felt the efTects of it yet, however, its the law and will ho enfor ed. Stock law will increase the acreage of culti vatable land, that will produce a per manent and ■ respectable demand for labor, that demand for labor will guar antee sure and good pasturage forstock and better wages for the laborre. Convincing proves are too numerous to ask space for in your valuable col umns. 1 will mention an objection to the stock law, that i noticed in last weeks Middle Georgia Argus, signed ‘‘Yellow Water.” II is first object ion is that lawyers and officers of the law are favored to it and that it will advance their field of op eration, he says wo have plenty of tim ber to make funcos ten and twenty rails high. Should lawyers and officers of the law favor the stock law, they are cer tainly prompted by what they believe to he to the best interest of the coun try. The lawyer that can't rise above his profession, the officer that can’t rise above his office, the politician that can't rise above his party and proclaim for his people and country what he conscientiously believes to be just and right, is a man of but little soul. TIM tout. Here and there are small patches of original forest, hut the beautiful trees like the tall blossoming poplar is sol dom seen, the large and valuable oak is gone and its space can't be tilled on ly by shrub sap pine. 1 believe the day will soon come when our patches of wood will bo preserved, i retooled and valued. The present and increas ing population of the country suggest, that the timber be not used in making more and better fences around their crops, benefiting neither man nor beast. The timber should be used for a bet ter purpose—for house building, mate rial for keeping us warm and cooking, for making many things of necessity, that can’t bedispeneed with on the farm —for making enclosures for stock and to have some left for posterity not leaving our children dependent on dis tant lands for timber. Besides the supply might not equal the demand, or they might take the advantage of posterities necessities and make a corner on them as they do us when rations is short. Slay your timber fore and aft, Regardless teachings of the past: And you w ill considered be, Posterity's greatest enemy. To fence the old cow in the lane, Stagering from poverty, yoke ami chain, Tin cruel beyond a doubt ; Will you continue or w ill you not. Tc-sku \w. The estimated dis.ancc lrom Brun swick to Horne, by the Macon and Brunswick Extension, is three hun dred aud lorty six miles. A novel fight occurred in Morgan county the other day between a gan der and a turtle. The 1 11 rile was about to become master of the situa tion, when the owner <d the garder came to the tescuo end captured the turtle which weighed twenty-three pounds. The fight occurred at Wal ton’s mills. To day Maj. J. H. Banks will take charge of the Forsyth post office, lie w ill be assisted by B. F. Thigpen, E-q.

Madisonian : To abolish the time honored two-thirds vote of the con vent ion. It by a factional riding on the pai l of the chair it is abolished by a majority vote, then the Madiso nian, as a Democratic paper, will not consider itsell bond by such action. The Augusta News says : ‘‘The drummers are again after the city council to abolish the tax on commer cial travelers, and there is hardly any doubt of success, ’1 hey threaten in case of emergency to draw out the forces of the United Stales courts.” A husband got angry with his unh and locked her up. At dinner time, to tnoitdy her, he sent her a hone by his son. The little fellow knocked at the door, saying ‘•.Mother, father says here’s a hone for you to pick.’’ Tell him lig’h not your futile , aud there’s it bone for him to pick.
