The Cow Queitlon.
Mu. EtllTOH:
Jf you r correspondents arc
all really too poor to keep cows
except at the expense of other
people, why do they < ot go to
the city authorities ami frankly
and ma- ly ask for relief, and
not try to get it in ways which
interfere with the comforts and
rights of their neighbors. For,
Mr. Editor “there are others;”
Other taxpayers in town who are
too )>oor to own a cow honestly,
but who have rights with which
loose rattle on the streets inter-
fere.
One would think too, from the
tone of their letters, that there
is no free pasturage to Is* had
except along the city streets:
whereas the truill is the cattle
will find much belter grass and
much more along the country
roads. Let them drive these
cows for a few days along the
roads away from the city instead
of toward it, and as soon as the
poor emaciated brutes have ac
quired the habit they will begin
to tnke on llesh and give some
thing better than blue milk. The
pasturage in town is not good;
and the jioor half-starved cattle
are forced to eat putrid garbage
around the alloy closets, and pa
per boxes along the store fronts.
But if the town pasturage
were of the best—if it were good
luscious grass—the man who is
rich enough to own a cow has
NO BIGHT to utilize that pastor-
aim when so doing infringes on
the rights of his neighbors. Now
let us hear no more whinipg
about the ‘ -rights of the poor
man”—we are all—or many of
us— poor, even if we do live in
town and do not own cows, but
have little flower lasts and poor
attempts at lawns, which the
cows destroy. We have wives
and children w ho are liable to
injury if cattle are allowed to
roam the streets. Wo try to keep
clean !x)th in our persons and in
our property, which we cannot j UlHt na ' but ruU)er of OL -„
do with coas dropping their ex- , .. uule n „ WL . r bo ,i s lind po , jri „.
crements on our sidewalks and I Bl hear
before our door steps. „ . ■ ■ „ . ...
* no mere whining ubnut the
tour correspondent who as-I ,, , „ „ „
, 1 „ rights of the poor man. the
utnes the name of ‘Taxpayer i .. ,- „ ...
poor farmer wno lives near tv it j •
cross and who earns every dollar
he makes by the sweat ot his
hies — take up Ins cows when
they come to town and fleece
him of his hurd-cumed coin—
seems to ho the sentiment oi
“Another Taxpayer.”
And then talk about “seifisli-
ness and a disregard for the
rights and comforts of uiher?.”
Ridiculous.
Taxpayer.
Cow Uw i Failure.
Mr. Editor:—It seems that my
article in regard to the injustice
and hardship being imposed upon
the people of Waycross and the
nearby farmers by the eofoice-
luent of the present cow law, has
got. “Another Taxpayer's ' brie
ties up, aud he starts oil' with the
assertion that the poor people
who own cows should be compel
led to sell them, and if they can't
get along without their cows let
them go to begging for a living,
and in the sums breath seems to
De so careful for the “comforts
and rights of his neighbors.”
‘‘Consistency, thou art a jewel.”
If he is so charitably inclined,
why is he howling about the lit
tle iuconvenieuce the cows give
"the others,” as he chooses to
call them, when he sees his neigh
bor's stock betug slashed and cut
up with whips while being driven
to the pound, and in many in*
stances kuocked oft' at half price
to the highest bidder. “Another
Taxpayer” expatiates on tbe
poor and on tbe eufringemont on
the right of others, and ignores
the fact that there are as many
cows in town evory day—or
nearly as many—as there were
before tbe cow law weut into ef
fect, and they are not town cows
either, for the people in town
keep their cows shut up, but
they come from the country, aud
they will continue to come as
long as the luscious Bermuda
grass grows in such abundance
all over the town. "Another
Taxpuyer" is a little otf in his
statement about the people driv
ing their cows to tod n, because
wo fail to see whore the fuu
would come in to the mau who
would drive his cows into town
to have them impounded.
Indeed, it gratoson the retiuod
sensibilities of this magnanimous
(?) gentleman to think ot the
poor, but The B iok says “the
poor ye have with you always.”
Bui then, do not let us t.lk of
suines tin- name of ‘Taxpayer
(is if he were the only taxpayer
in the community;) >is mistak-m
in saying that in Brunswick cat
tle are allowed to run in the

days and at t mes weeks in
Brunswick, at various times of
the year and have been through
and through the city in all di
rections and at all hours, aud
have never seen a loose cow
