GEORGIA’S FENCE LAWS
MR. WOOTEN'S BILL PASSES THE
HOUSE AND SENATE
Borne Other Important Bill* to Como
Up in the Houie Thte Weok-What
the Legislature IIaa Dono.
Atlanta (,'onntltutlnn.
Among the most important laws
enacted by the Georgia legislature
up to date is the fence law sized up
in the bill introduced in tiio house
by Mr. Wooten, of Dougherty
couuty.
This bill has passed both house
aud senate and only awaits the sig
nature of Governor Northen to be
come a law of full force and etlcct.
Id bis message Governor Northen
urged the passage of just such a
law as this, and that he will sign it
with genuine approval goes with
out saying.
The law is general in its scope,
and interests the people of Georgia
from the mountains to the sea
board.
The unanimity with which the
bill passed the house aud senate
attests its popularity and gives as
surance to its author that .t fills a
need most keenly felt.
Before its introduction there were
several billa amendatory of the
fence laws pending before the leg
islature, but each of them met with
some objections because the remedy
which they proceed was not uni
form In its application. The plan
embodied in the bill was adopted
because It appeared to be conserva
tive in its nature, conciliatory In
its effect, aud satisfactory to all per
sona concerned. Unlike some of
the other bills on this subject,
which have beeu introduced, it
affords the relief needed to all
freeholders in the state who were
placed in a serious predicament by
reasou of the decision of the su
premo court, declaring the local
fence laws non-constitutional and
therefore void.
MH. WOOTEN TAI.KS.
Mr. Wooteu said to a Constitu
tion reporter yesterday:
“You are probably aware that
nearly forty counties and districts
iu the Btato have beeu operating
under local fence laws for several
years. The fences have been re
moved and destroyed, aud in many
sections it is impossible to rebuild
them ougaccount of the scarcity of
timber and the enormous expense
Incident to the work.
Many of the counties anil dis
tricts where these local laws have
been in operation are comprised of
large plantations which could not
be fenced at once, even if the own
ers were able to ailume such a fi
nancial burden. A hardship would
be similarly worked upon the plant
er*, who possess less capital and
less ability to bear the expense.
And yet, In the face of ail these
aerious facts, these people are noti
fied that their fences must be re
placed lor else suffer the ravages of
roaming cattle and live stock.
“Thla duty devolves upon the
people thus embarrassed by reason
of several decisions of‘6ur supreme
oourt which construed these local
laws to be unconstitutional because
of their conflict with the general
law pravlossly enacted on this sob-
Ject. A spirit of fairness and kipd
consideration for a suffering people
prompted the present legislature to
luppoff #lttt unanimity a measure
looking to their relief, and my bill,
just pasted, has the desired effect.
It goee Into Immediate effect as
•oon as U is duly approved by the
govcfnor, and thus the anxiety of a
large number of our people will be
relieved.
WHY NOT AN ELECTION?
“When my bid was pending be
fore the legislature, the question
wasoflen a-ked me why these coun
ties and districts, thus left in*so se
rious a predicament, do not pro
cure an election for ‘fence* or 'no
fence,’ as is prescribed in Hection
1455 of the general fence law, and
thus have the matter settled. The
question is easily answered, and
the reason given by stating that in
many of these counties and dis
tricts the fences would be restored
by such an election, owing to the
heavy vote of those who are not
freeholders, and who would, in
ntauy'instances, seek to impose
tilts intolerable burden on the laud
ed proprietors for selfish reasons.
“While tills might not be true in
ail instances, it certainly would be
in some, and thus the remedy
sought would not be general in its
benefit.
“I see no reason why my bill
should not be satisfactory to the
people of Georgia, and I am assured
that it is, as I am constantly in re
ceipt of gratifying endorsements
from both white aud colored peo
ple iu all sectious of the State.
“The law proceed affords the re
lief needed, and at the same time
it does not disturb the existing
status of affairs. It repeals Bection
l it!* of the codo aud provides In
lieu thereof that in each and every
county aud district the bouudary
lines of each lot, tract or parcel of
land in said counties and districts
shall become a lawful fence; pro
vided, however, that this act shall
not become operative In those coun
ties or districts which have not
iieretofore abolished or removed
fences, cither by a vote of the poo’
pie or in pursuance of legal or Hie
gal legislative action, unless such
fences are abolished in the manner
provided for in section 1455 of the
code, with amendments thereto.
“To speak in the plainest lan
guage possible, the effect of my
bill is to allow the counties and
districts, now without fences, to so
remain, the boundary lines of each
man’s place, or plantation, becom
ing his lawful fence, aud prevent
ing laud from trespass. The coun
ties aud districts where fences now
exist are left undisturbed, my pro
posed law only affirming their
righf to abolish fences by a vote of
the people, as is prescribed in Sec
tion 1455 of the code.
“Thus it will bo seen that the ex
isting rights of no person or num
bers of persons are disturbed, but
the present relations are merely
legalized and coufirmed.
“I am satisfied that this law will
be constitutional aud that the
courts will sustain it. It has been
critically examined by some of the
best lawyers in the State, who
agree with me in the opinion that
no constitutional objection can be
successfully urged against it.”
