What Others Think of It.
The following letter is from the President
of the State Agricultural Society of South
Carolina. The gentleman’s views are cer
tainly entitled to more than ordinary con
sideration. We publish the letter by request,
and it was written to Mr. Nix, of Apple Val
ley, in response to his enquiries upon the
subject:
Anderson, S. C., May 16th, 1881.
D. INI. Nix, Esq. —Dear Sir : —Yours of the
“20th April was received, and should have
been answered earlier, but you must excuse
the delay.
I am glad to see that you are moving in
the fence question, and hope you may succeed
in the election.
After received yours, I called up an intel
ligent negro, who opposed its passage vio
lently in this county, and asked his opinion
of it no v. He replied that there was a few
that it did not suit, but that it was far the
hest for a large majority of non-land owners
and tenants. He had made himself so ob
noxious in the election on this subject that
he lost a good place, where he was then living.,
I do not know of a single instance of a per
son who voted for it on its passage that is not
pleased with it after a trial. On the other
hand, do not think, if it was submitted to a
vote alone to those who opposed it, that one
in ten would vote against it.
You ask what effect it has had on the price
of lands ? I will give 3*oll an instance that
occurred in this vicinity : A tract of land
had been leased for twenty-five 3*ears, and,
with 15 years lease to run, brought about
$1.25 per acre previous to the change in the
fence law. Since that, with only 8 years of
the lease to run, it lias sold for SIO.OO per
acre. The timber, of course, had all been
cut off of it.
I recently paid SIO.OO per acre for a tract
of land, which, previous to the change in the
fence law, I would not have paid $5.00 per
acre for. Out stock is reduced in number,
but greatly unproved in quality. Milk and
blitter are more plentiful than formerly.
1 know of no argument, sustained by rea
son, common sense, equity or justice, that can
be urged against the change, but everything
is in its favor.
My neighbor lias (legally) as much right to
pasture my enclosed land as he lias my un
enclosed, as bis stock, pasturing and feeding
upon my land, robs it of its vegetable matter,
thus making it poorer every day. What was
originally granted as a privilege or favor, is
now demanded as a right. The first Act
passed in this State on the subject was in
1789, and was passed altogether in the inter
est of the stock raiser, this being at that time
a range country, and not an agricultural.
No county can be prosperous, and have
good schools, good churches and good soci
ety. whilst it is sparsely settled enough for
range. llow absorb, to be reserving one-half
of the land in timber for posterity to fence
with. Gen. Browne, of Clarke county, as
serted to me that the Jences of that county
cost more than all the buildings in it. 1 give
you this as an instance near by. I have seen
the same statement as for other portions of
the United States.
One of the hardships of the present system
is, the poorer the party, or smaller his pos
sessions, the more it cost to enclose it per
acre. Change your system of fencing, and
then many poor men will be enabled to own
a homestead who cannot do so otherwise —
not being required to own-so much timbered
land.
I should be gratified to assist you, in any
way that I can, in accomplishing so great and
so good a change.
Very respectfully yours,
B. F. Ckaytox.

Mrs. M. E. Matthews was born in Jefferson,
Jackson county, Ga., October sth, 1837, and
calmly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus May
oth, 1881, at her mother’s residence, near Jeffer
son. She was the daughter of Jackson and Re
becca Bell. In May, 1801, she connected herself
with the Methodist church, and remained a con
sistent member until God called her from the
church on earth to the church triumphant in Hea
ven. She was united in marriage to W. F. Mat
thews. ofClarkc county, Ga., February 11th, 1808,
with whom she lived happily until God, in his
mysterious Providence, called her husband home,
February 7th, 187!), leaving her with her three
little ones (the youngest only one year old) to bat
tle with life alone. Intimately acquainted with
the deceased, whose death we deeply deplore,
-having known her from my earliest childhood,
most truly can 1 say 1 have never known a nobler
woman. Being possessed of an amiable disposi
tion, she was never happier than when bestowing
an act of kindness. Many hearts will respond
when I say, illy can the community sustain her
loss. Yet Heaven has gained a saint; one fitted
for the association of those higher intelligences
which filled the spheres and circles of eternity.
Ear away in the past our mind reverts to her as a
joyous maiden, casting sunshine on all around
them as a happy bride. Now we approach her
new made grave and silently offer a tear to the
memory of our dear friend, who has crossed the
river and received the welcome plaudit, “well
done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou
into the rest prepared for thee.” She now sleeps
sweetly, and
“ The wintry winds that wreck the sky
No more'll disturb her deep repose,
Than summer evenings latest sigh
That shuts the rose.”
Mrs. Matthews was a great sufferer, having been
: confined to her bed since December last. She was
: never heard to murmur throughout her afflictions,
j but bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude.
! She was a good neighbor, a faithful wife, a devo
ted mother and a Christian woman. Only a short
while before she expired, she told her weeping
mother that she would soon be at rest, and would
leave her dear little ones with her mother and her
God. May He who has promised to be a father
to the fatherless, prolong the life of the aged grand
mother, and enable her to bring up the little ones
so that they will follow the example of their dear,
dear mother.
“ llow blest the righteous when he dies !
When sinks a weary soul to rest;
How mildly beam the closing eyes,
How gently heaves the expiring breast.”
L. E. D.
colored friends had a Sunday
School celebration last Saturday. After ap
propriate exercises at the church, the proces
sion was formed and marched to the grove
back of the Methodist church, where the table
was spread and the crowd was invited to help
themselves. The repast was an elegant one,
and was enjoyed by the crowd. The time
devoted to the enjoyment of the table was
limited, owing to the appearance of the rain.
At night there was a performance at the
i church by the Sunday School children.
Our Railroad.
The Directors of the Gainesville, Jefferson
& Southern Railroad Company had a meeting
in Gainesville last Saturday. Our Directors
took occasion to go by where the contractors
were at W’ork and get an idea of what progress
they were making. They found between 75
and 100 hands at work and the grading was
progressing as well as could be expected.
The principal business in the meeting was the
proposition of the Jug Tavern people to get
a branch road from some point on the road to
Jug Tavern. The Jug Tavern people having
secured twenty thousand dollars worth of
stock, asked that the Directors take hold of
their branch and build it. After considera
tion, it was decided to do so. and the President
has, we learn, advertised for bids for the
grading of the entire road bed. This road
will be something over fifteen railesrin length,
and will be a heavy feeder to the main line.
After a general discussion of matters, the
meeting adjourned. The prospect is as bright
as at any time in the past, and work is moving
on smoothly, with nothing to interfere, ex
cept the lagging of some of the Jefferson
stockholders to pay up their assessments.

A NEW KIND OF WATCH CASE.
New because it is only within the last few years
that it has been improved and brought within the
reach of every one; old in principle because the
first invention was made and the first patent taken
out nearly twenty years ago, and cases made at
that time and worn ever since, are nearly as good
