and dry if the law can be enforced, back upon—it is tlie great bulwark

they have been cheek by jole ever
since.
l*r The grand jury regarding
whisky and fences twin relics of
the past, have recommended to the
voters of the county to wipe them

the day.
Col. Jones has no canvass of
the state to make. His friends have
put him in nomination. He is will
ing to express his opinions on all
questions of state policy and with
out making any personal appeals to
the people, submit his claims to the
convention.
gtsr The State Executive Com
mittee have decided that the con
vention shall assemble in Atlanta
on the 28th of July. They took no
action in regard to primaries. This
leaves the matter where it properly
belongs—to the executive commit
tees in each county.
I*T The prohibitionists of this
county have determined to disre
gard the proclamation of President
Pringle, and will have art election
in this county next month. Unless
there is a change in public senti
ment. It will be carried by a good
majority.
I*" The Hon. Patrick Walsh as
the representative of MaJ. Bacon,
has united with the Hon. Evan P.
Howell, the friend of (ten. Gordon,
in stating that the joint discussions
shall end on Saturday at Conyers.
These gentlemen think that the
peace and harmony of the party are
injured by the feeling produced by
these heated discussions, hence
their action.

Col. Avery’s statement in support
of Gen. Gordon comes rather late in
the day. We do not pretend to
make any charge of corruption
against Gen. Gordon, but at the
time of the appointment of Gov
ernor Brown, at his first election to
the senate, and at the election of
Senator Colquitt, such charges were
freely made against all three of
these gentlemen. If the statemeilt
of Col. Avery had been made at
those times and had been credited,
it would have vindicated all three
of them. If Gov. Colquitt did not
wish Gen. Gordon to resign, and
Gen. Gordon was opposed to the
appointment of Gov. Brown, he
could have held on to the office of
senator for three weeks longer.
Then the appointment would not
have been made. Then the legisla
ture which elected Gen. Gordon
could have elected his successor. If
Gen. Gordon’s financial embarass-
ment was such that he had to go at
something more lucrative, he could
have accepted his railroad appoint
ment without resigning his sena
torial office. According to his own
showing there was nothing for him
to do in the senate, except to vote.
His constituents would have much
preferred that he should have held
on to the office for three weeks lon
ger though ho had not been in his
seat a single hour.

The entire state should feel under
obligations to Savannah for its ef
forts in fostering and keeping alive
the volunteer military spirit of the
people. The recent military demon
stration did not cost the state a
cent, but the entire expenses were
borne by Savannah and its volun
teer companies. Gov. McDaniel in
his address to the Georgia Hussars
at their drill room, touched upon
this subject, and regretted the nig
gardly disposition of our legisla
ture in refusing to mnko any mili
tary appropriations. There should
be an annual military encampment
for which the legislature should
make a suitable appropriation.
There would have been a much
larger attendance of the military at
Savannah, but many companies
could not bear the expense of trans
portation, unfortunately many of
them are barely able to exist at
home. These gatherings do much
towards fostering and keeping alive
the military spirit. Every county
in the state should have one or
more volunteer companies, and the
legislature ought to contribute ev
ery dollar that may be needed. The
regular soldiery of the country is
needed in the territories and on
of a county’s strength.
Burke county, with a voting pop
ulation of four thousand, has not
even one military organization^
Atlanta, with a population of 50,000,
the capital of the state, proud of its
progress and public spirit, has but
two military organizations, and
even they are languishing. The
state government is to blame for
all this, and the day is not far dis
tant when its legislators will see
tlie error of their ways, and be
forced to regret their penny wise
and pound foolish acts. We hope
to see the military ardor of the state
revived, and trust that the next leg
islature will carry out the wishes
and recommendations of its pres
ent executor.
TUB KKNCK QUESTION.
We are glad to hear that the stock
law is again being agitated. The
thinking, intelligent, solid men of
the country must support it, and
surely if they exert themselves they
can shape and mould public opin
ion. No country or people can or
ought to prosper, unless the public
sentiment of its intelligent think
ing men originate and make its
laws. The passage of this stock law
has become a pressing necessity.
Already hundreds of ncres of our
most productive lands, have been
abandoned because of the scarcity of
timber and the consequent expen
siveness to owners of fencing. Year
by year this scarcity of timber will
increase, and the expense and in
convenience of keeping up our
large plantations will be so en
hanced as to render their abandon
ment inevitable.
The statement no doubt is cor
rect, that the yearly expense of
keeping up the fences of Burke
county, will buy every cow and hog
and sheep in its limits. There is
now not enough timber in the coun
ty to supply its legitimate demands,
even laying aside the huge item of
fencing. There are only two steam
saw mills in the county, and one of
them (near Rogers), is furnished
with timber brought from Emanuel
county. Just pause for a moment
and refieot. Nearly every foot of
sawed material now consumed in
this once magnificently wooded
county, is brought by railroads from
adjoining counties. All the fuel
used by the railroad is brought from
other sections. The Central rail
road controls about sixty miles of
track within our borders. On this
sixty miles are used about 140,000
cross-ties, worth perhaps, $00,000,
and yet not one of these ties are
furnished by the land owners of
Burke county. There are miles of
bridges and tressels across our
streams, but the material for keep
ing them in repair all come from
other sections. These are startling
facts and should eause oven the
most thoughtless to stop and con-
sider, and ask himself—“whither are
we drifting?” But not only is the
supply of timber lessening every
year, but the dwellings, the out
buildings, the improvements on our
plantations, are all going to decay.
The handsome residences, the sub
stantial barns and gin houses are
getting to be tilings of the past—
“very few and far between,” Year
by year they are rotting down, and
are being replaced with cheap, frail
structures, and in a very short time
unless a radical halt is called, the
plantation improvements of Burke
county will be valueless.
But Us fences—how can wo do
justice to the subject. To-day there
are thousands of miles of rail fences
in Burke county, and we doubt if
there are five plantations in its lim
its, which can rightfully claim hav
ing a legal fence. Each year a
change for the worse is being made
more manifest. The yearly damage
done to growing crops by vicious
stock, encouraged as they have
been by bad fences, would buy ev
ery cow and hog in the county, be
sides the quarrels and feuds and
dissensions engendered thereby,
give rise to expensive prosecutions
and endless litigation. Stock allow
ed to run at large are lint highway
robbers, preying and prayed upon,
“barren fig trees,” useless cumber-
ers of the earth. Not one in ten
are of any service. They rove here
and there and everywhere, seeking
what they can devour, and if one of
them by f chance takes on enough
to cover his bones, ho soon disap
pears from the face of the earth,
cultural sense, the large plantation
system must be abolished, and the
tillers of the soil should be its
owners. -
We hear much as coming from
the uninformed, that the stock law
will benefit the land owners but
will injure the laborer. As a class,
how can the labor, the bone and
sinew of the country ever own their
homes, as long as the fence law
prevails? A poor man cannot buy a
large place, but lie might buy Ills
fifty or hundred acres. It is impos
sible to take any of our large places
and subdivide them into small ones
as long as the present fence system
prevails.
When the stock law is passed
then the owners of what we term
plantations, can convert them into
farms and sell them to their ten
ants at remunerative prices. The
difference between rent and inter
est would alone in seven years buy
a farm. The tenant can have no
home attachments, takes no abid
ing interest in the place, feels no
love for his surroundings; he is here
to-day and there to-morrow—a roll
ing stone gathering no moss. As a
consequence, his nose is always to
the grindstone; he is kept poor and
the land keeps him company. The
one goes down, down, and the other
follows him.
The uninformed is also told that
the stock law would increase the
rent. How can this be? Every rea
soning, sensible man, knows that if
fences bo abolished, that there can
and will be thrown into cultivation,
thousands of acres of productive
land. If then, there be more land
for cultivation on every plantation,
will not each land owner have to
bid against bis neighbor for labor
ers, and there being ho correspond
ing increase of laborers, how can
renters apprehend any increase of
rent? Owners of land could then
afford to rent for less, and the de
mand for labor would force them to
do it. With improved labor sav
ing agricultural implements, and
time saved from fencing, the tenant
could make more manure and cul
tivate more land. He could then
not only plant as much corn and
cotton as lie does now, but during
the tall and winter would have
abundant time for planting oats and
other small grain.
Our present system of agriculture
is nothing more nor less than land
butchery. We take everything
from it and give it back nothing in
return. During the spring we plant
corn or cotton; in the fall of the
year as soon as the crop is gathered
the fields are thrown open, and
swarms of predatory cattle roam
over them trampling the soil and
eating off every sprig of vegetation,
so that when the next spring comes
on naught but the bare land is left,
and the plow comes along and turns
over only sand—the depredating
cattle having eaten up and consum
ed every species of vegetable mat
ter, in the way of grass, pea vines,
shucks, leaves, limbs and pods of
cotton. There is now a society’ for
the prevention of cruelty 7 to ani
mals, ought there not to be a law to
punish the robber of the soil, the
desecrater of our old mother
earth?
The productiveness of the lands
of Burke county could be doubled
in five years, if after the crops are
gathered, the weeds and grasses be
turned under and allowed to decay 7 ,
thus giving back to the soil not only
all, but more than was taken from
it. If then our lands are made
doubly productive, is not the Owner
of the soil correspondingly bone-
fitted, and is not the share of the
cropper Increased, and does not the
renter make twice as much with
which he can pay his rent and ad
vances? When the soil is improved
and made more productive, every
being who comes in contact with it
is tlie gainer, reaping his corres
ponding share of its benefits.
Stock when allowed to roam at
large, are almost worthless, the de
stroyers and the destroyed. One
cow enclosed and well fed, will
yield more milk and butter than a
dozen if allowed to roam at will,
and should its stall or pen be kept
well littered, enough manure can be
made to pay for all it consumes.
Even the ground alone covered by
fences, if planted, would produce
enough to feed all the stock needed
on that place. The experience of
the world teaches, and every 7 trial
only reiterates the fact that the
raising of even Improved stock,
only pays in proportion as it is
cared for. Nino-tenthsof thebacon
used in Burke county comes from
the West, and but a very small pro
portion of its population raises its
milk and butter. We buy all our
mules and horses. This is there
fore n it a stock country. We dig
our living out of the land, ami yet
law, and the people arp enthusias-|
tic in extolling its benefits. South
Carolina has tried it, and we get
from her only encouraging accounts. \

new era of prosperity has dawned

we clinging to the worn out usages
of the past? Burke is a grand old
county, rich as to her soil, fertile in
her productions. The God of the
harvest has smiled on her, and in
days gone by has filled her lap with
plenty. Here and there may be

there is life in the old land yet.
