NO PRIVATE.
The “general” tells with swelling pride,
How the fires of battle gleamed—
Of the slaughter of men “on the other
side,”
As the shell and shrapnel screamed;
How “we charged the foe like the migthy
wave
Of a-wild and stormy sea,”
But iu that rush of the true and brave,
The private—where was he?
The “colonel” boasts how his horse fell
Ou Georgia’s blood stained hills;
How be stemmed the wave of that battle
hell,
Avenging his country’s ills;
How the ghastly heaps of the gallaut slain
Bestrewed the slippery ground—
But we study the tragic tale in vain,
There were no privates round.
Oh, the “major’s” sword, it was red
with core!
And great was the foes’ alarm,
as they charged, halted and fled before
The swing of bis mighty arm,
But freedom burnisb’d her epaulets
as she swatted the hosts of sin
And the lonely pensioner still forgets
That the privates were not in.
How brave they flew, at their country’s
call,
To the outposts far in front!
“Generals,” “colonels” and “majors” ail
To strive the battle’s brunt,
And the “captains” stand, ten thousand
strong,
To tell how the thing was done—
But where was the “private” in that
throng?
Alas, there was not one?

And every dog his day;
That you may pray till you are hoarse
And grieve till you are gray—
The boy is bound by nature’s force
To somehow go astray;
He will trace sin back to its source
And then come home to stay.
But they are lies of bell’s own dye
To blast life’s hopeful morn —
You do not sow a crop of rye
And reap a crop of corn,
You do not liye a living lie
And laugh God’s law to scorn
And train your children for the sky
As sure as you are born.

TRESPASSING.
Writte for The Southern Cultivator.
I have been asked by an interested
party to give to the readers ofThe
Cultivator the several laws of this
state controlling the matter of tres
passing upon lauds. This 1 do, of
course as a correspondent of The Cul
tivator, and in no sense in my official
capacity.
Trespass is defined in the Code to
be “the willful cutting or felling of
any wood, timber or shade tree upon
the land, enclosed or unenclosed, of
another, without the consent of the
owner ”
“The squatting or settling upon tlre
land enclosed or unenclosed, of anoth
er, whether public or private, with
no bona ti :e claim or color of title,
and without the consent of the own
er.” Tins last will not be of force
provided the intruder shall move off
the land in ten days, nor against way
farers who camp for the night.
It any person shall willfully enter,
go upon or pa-s over any field, orch
ard, garden or other enclosed or cul
tivated land of another, after being
personally forbidden so to do by the
owner or the person entitled to the
posession for the time being, or au
thorized agent thereof, ho shall be
guiity of misdemeanor as trespasser.
Further, it is not lawful tor any
person to hunt with dogs, firearms or
other implements m or through any
enclosed lands of cultivated fields,
walks or pastures, after being forbid
den to do so by the proper authority,
This notice can be given by posting
cards in not less than six places on
ihe lands in question and one at the
door of the court house in the county
where the lands are situated.
Persons guilty of these offences
named above will be liable to be pun
ished under section 43100f the Code,
by a line not to exceed $1,000; impiis
onment, not to exceed six months; to
work in the chaingangs on Ihe public
works, or on such other works as Ihe
county authorities may employ the
chaingangs, not to exceed twelve
months, and any one or more of these
punishments may be ordered in the
discretion of the Judge.
The nature of the enquiry to which
the communication is intended to be
a reply, is such as not to make known
whether or not it has been answered
in above quotations. Taking it for
granted that it is desired to know
what protection the law affords
against depredations by stock, it may
be proper and pertinent to the inqui
ry submitted, to say that the statutes
in tlie ahscucc of what is known as
the “stock law,” require on the part
of the owner of cropi, certain defence
against depredations.
The law requires enclosures, com
monly called worm fences, to he five
licet high, and from the ground to
the height of three fe et the rails shall
not be more than four inches apart,
all paling fences shall be live feet
from the ground, and the palings not
moie than two inches apart
A lawlul fence made with barbed
wire, must consist of “at least six hor
izontal strands stretched between
posts, firmly set in the ground or
growing trees, not more than ten feet
apart the bottom wire not to be
more than four inches from the ground
the next wire not more thau four
inches from the first, the next wire
not to be more than six inches from
the third, next wire to be not more
than ten inches from the fourth, and
the topmost wire to be not less than
four and a half feet Irom the ground
with a [dank strip not less than four
inches in width, either below or above
the topmost wire.
In counties that have abolished or
removed fences, either by tote of the
people or by legislative action, “the
boundary lines of each lo*, tract or
oared of land in said county shall be,
and the same are declared a lawful
fence, when fences are made pursuant
to law, and any animal b-eaks in, the
owner of the enclosure shall not kill
or injure him lor the first breaking in
aud not till atie notice is given to the
owner or agent, it possible, but said
last mentioned owner shall be liable
for double the damage done by his
stock.
If any horse, mule, cow, or lK*g, or
any other animal or animals used or
fit for food or labor, shall commit
trespass or damage, ss described
above, it is lawful for the owner of
the premises to impound said ani
mals and retail them until tha owner
thereof sh ill make full satisfaction for
the damages committed including all
costs and expenses, unless disposed
of after three days notice as an estray.
In the event the amount of dama
ges committed by the trespass cannot
be agreed upon by the party claimed
to be damaged and the owner of the
animals, the aggrieved party may
make claim before the Justice of
Peace of the distri-t aud if no justice
iu such district, then to the most con
venient justice in any other district.
Such justice shall issue a summons as
in other suits, returnable in five days
from the date thereof, requiring the
owner or claimant of such stock to ap
pear at a time aud j lace named there
in, aud which shall be served as other
summons at least three days before
the time of hearing, when such jus
tice will proceed to hear evidence and
give judgment.
I have not given in detail all the
laws of this state against trespass, j
suppose, however the points of inqui
ry are fully answered.
If the laws now upon the statute
books were fairly and uniformly en
forced, there would be little or oo
complaint about trespass. Much of
the trouble on the farm comes, not for
the lack, of sufficient law, but because
of the failure to enforce it. Much, it
not all, the annoyance that comes
from illegal hunting, burning fence
rails, cutting timber, etc. could be
remedied if a few parties were made
to suffer the penalties attached, w.lli
the full knowledge that all violators
would be similarly treated.
The stock law sought to be in force
in certain sections of the state was
not intended solely for the piotcction
of the growing crop?, but for the pres
ervation of lands, to prevent the gen
eral damage that comes from the unre
strained wandering of stock in winter
as well as the growing seasons.
It is oftentimes true that the tramp
ing of stock over arable fields in the
winter season, does far more injury
to the lands than can l<e compensated
by the pickings they gather from the
fields. Furthermore, the vegetable
matter taken in this way from the
fields should bo reserved for the sod,
and notuselessly given for the tempo
ral') and insufficient substance ot a lot.
of scrub and valueless animals.
A still greater evil, however conies
from the tempoiary winter suspen
sion of the law, in that we cannot util
ize the fa'l sowing of oals. I haye
been long since convinced lhat fall is
the proper time, in this section, for
the sowing of oat?, and mainly for
that reason I desired, on my farm,
‘.he benefits of what is known with us
as the “stock law” that T might not be
constantly annoyed by the breaking
in of my neighbor’s half starved cattle
and noises upon my growing grain.
It*the laws upon the statute books
against trespass of all kinds arc strict
ly enforced fora time in any commu
nity in this state all Hie people will
adjust themselves to the the condi
tions and much friction and annoy
ance will be removed.
