Agriculture is not moving forward as rapidly

indeed, as fast as population. A comparison
of the statistics of tho civilized world to day

increased commerce and mining 47
per cent.
Ex President Davis’ great book on the war,

It is getting to be popular for our rich men
to race horses in Europe and England, to
contend for the various prizes, and, while
they have had first-rate luck, they have been
particularly fortunate in the last week or two.
A horse of I’erric Lombard's (the celebrated
snuff manufacturer) won the most important
race of the season upon the English turf, and
the next week a horse belonging to Jas. R.
lvoene won the grand prize of the French turf*
In both races the American horses were pitted
against the best racers in France and England.
The oleomargarine factory recently started
in New Orleans is now turning out from 5,000
to 8,000 pounds of the article daily. It seems
to be popular with consumers there, and the
entire product of the factory’ is readily dis
posed of to the local trade at 18 cents per
pound, which has had the effect to bring clown
the price of dairy butter from 85 and 45 cents
to about 23 cents per pound. The New
Orleans Democrat says the article manufac
tured is, by general admission, “ pure and
wholesome—free from all the objectionable
and deleterious ingredients so often ascribed
to the article manufacture ! North,” and pre
dicts for it a steadily growing j opularity and
consumption.
Stock Law Dots.
1 see in your last issue an article from the
pen of Mr. Fair Play.
Ist. In his article he says : •• We have yet
to find a poor man of much intelligence who
a Locates ‘no fence.’” Well, his acquaint
ance must be rather limited, (for we have very
few rich men in this county) otherwise con
fined to the class of not “much intelligence."
Suppose “hr” has not yet found one, does
that, prove that it is more economical to fence
the stock out than in, or that it ‘’seriously
injures the tenants or non-land owners’’ ?
21. lie says: “ As, for instance, it would
! appear meet and proper that the owner of
| lands should have the same right to restrain
j others from grazing stock on his premises as
lie would to prevent them from felling his
timber.” This is all the land owners ask,
and if you will devise any means b}* which it
can be done at less expense and is more
equitable than that of fencing the stock, they
will adopt it.
3 1. In regard to the “ no fence” system be
ing a success in South Carolina and other
places where it has been adopted, lie says :
“ Admitting that this be true, and what we
know of its truthfulness is simply hearsay
evidence, and therefore of the weakest char
acter.” In t!iis lie certainly is mistaken.
The advocates of “no fence” base their con
clusions upon the evidence furnished bj’ those
who have tested it in all its bearings ; upon
the combined testimony of both those who
opposed it, and both land owners and ten
ants. This evidence is not hearsay ; it has
been furnished by the individuals over their
own signatures, a specimen of which was pub
| lished in your issue of May 27th. The com
; bined testimony of such men as Ex-Governor
Simpson, Hon. I). Wvat Aiken, Gen. Wade
Hampton, B. F. Crayton, Esq., Col. Living
ston. and many others—men who are directly
interested in and strongly identified with all
| that pertains to agricultural pursuits, and
whose names are sj’nonyms for honesty, truth
fulness and integrity—is to be regarded as
hearsay and of the “ weakest character .”
4th. “It would be but an experiment.” So j
was the building of the Georgia, State and
Central railroads, and yet no other sections
of the State had made the experiment.
5. “Our present system is an old one—so
old that it would be cruel to attempt an in nr -
vation upon it.” This is strange logic. To
attempt an innovation upon a custom is cruel
because it is an old one. Better go back to
the days of our fathers and grandfathers, and
substitute the sickel and flail for modern rna
chinery, and the truck wagon and stagecoach
for the railway car. Does improvement, pro
gress and enterprise mean cruelty ? Then
Webster stands revised.
Gth. In his strictures on my questions pro
pounded in your issue of the 10th instant, he
says : “ The first of these arc not based upon
facts, and are mere fanciful assumptions.”
Now, it is much easier to evade questions
than to answer them, and he has learned me
the way out of difficulties. When I find some
thing I cannot answer, call it a “ fanciful as
sumption" and dismiss it. If lie bad taken
the trouble to carefully read Crayton’s letter,
in your issue of May 27th. it would have
saved him the necessity of inventing a figure
of rhetoric ( fanciful assumption) to open a
way out. They were based upon facts, and
Mr. Fair Play cannot successfully refute
them.
7th. In his reply to the “two last" it is
strange, at least, that a man of his knowledge
of law did not see the principle involved in
the questions, i. e., why can the owner of the
crops recover damages in the one case and
not in the other? Vandj: Llxctum.

The Stock Law.
Mit. Editor: —ln your last issue we have
a communication signed “ Fair Play,” taking
ground against the “no fence” movement,
which I propose briefly to notice.
Authors often betray a conscious weakness
in the cause they espouse on the title page of
their performances. Attacks on the Bible
have been called “The Age of Reason,” and
some of the most obscene pamphlets in the
country have been entitled, “ Wholesome Ad
vice to Young Men.” This conscious weak
ness in the fence law in the communication
now under consideration is obvious when the
writer signs himself “ Fair Play.” No unfair
ness in the discussion of the subject is com
plained of, and no fairness in the operation
of the present system is shown, and no un
fairness in the proposed change is attempted
to be shown. What, then, suggests the si"-
nature "Fair Play” but the hope to gather
strength where but little, if any, argument
exists?
“ Fair Play” says': This question is un
dergoing serious discussion throughout the
county at this time.” But what in the dis
cussion is so very serious to “Fair Play” ?
Nothing, I presume, is so serious as the fact
that the arguments are all against him and in
favor of “ no fence.”
lie further says : “We have yet to find a
poor man of much intelligence who advo
cates *no fence.’ ” But there are scores of
poor men of sufficient intelligence to see their
interest in this thing in favor of “no fence,”
as the coming election will show. “ Fair
Play,” it seems, has been unfair enough not
to make much enquiry among the poor about
this matter, or. having made enquiry, lie has
failed to report the facts.
“ Fair Play” further states “ it is justly re
garded by the tenants as a measure calcula
ted seriously to injure their rights.” This I
deny. W here they fear injury they’ will reap
a reward. The income of tenants and wages
of hirelings will be regulated by the profits
of the land owners. This is always the case.
If you employ ten hands, and make a thou
sand dollars net profits in a year, you do not
hesitate to give good wages the following
year. But if you make but little, you cannot
afford to give much for labor. The “no
fence” law cannot be less favorable and bene
ficial to tenants and hirelings than it is to
land owners. Renters now demand houses
for their families, and why not demand, un
der the new law, pasturage for their stock
with the same propriety ? This they will do,
and receive it at far less cost to the owner
than is required t<> repair fences.
“ Fair Play” suggests that “ our present
i system of fencing is an old one —so old that
! it would seem cruel to attempt an innovation
| upon it.” Is all improvements to be rejected
! because they are new ? This objection to
j -i no fence” might have been urged with equal
force against the construction of the first rail
roads in this country. When the building of
the railroad from Charleston to Augusta was
about to be begun “ Fair Play” would have
said, had he talked then as he now does,
“ The present system of wagoning is an old
one—so old that it would seem cruel to at
tempt an innovation upon it. liy long usage
our people are accustomed to the wagons,
and why should we now try to supplant them
by an engine ? Whew ! Supreme fully !”
The fence law as we now have it was itself,
at one age of the world, anew thing.
The objection, too, that this county should
wait until other counties adopt the measure
is equally puerile and unphilosophical. Why
not this county set an example to other conn
t : es in the State? The reason why the “no
fence” law is not in successful operation in
many counties in the State is because the
colored element preponderates in counties
where the law is most needed and where the
most vigorous efforts have been made for the
change. Such counties are now eagerly look
ing to u 5 to inaugurate the “no fence” law,
and shall we disappoint them and injure our
selves ? Progress.
