FENCE OR FENCE.
Mr. Editor: —What has become
ol ihe Stock Law question ? A
year or two ago you gave us in
your columns, repeatedly, from
time to time, articles from your
correspondents, mostly In favor of
“no fence’’ and an occasionally
one on tbe other side. It seemed
then that the people were ready
to vote on the question and carry
it. Since then the question seems
to be in abeyance.
Why is this? Is there not the
same necesity for the “stc ck law,"
now that there was then ? Is the
necesity not increased rather?
From my stand point, I know it
has.
In my little travels through the
County, 1 see the old fences are
becoming more aud more dilapi
dated, timber is becoming scarcer
aud scarcer every year, and rail
splitters Lave beeorne more aud
more disgusted with tbo business,
aiul can’t be had for love or money.
With tbe negro, the labor is too
hard, and it is too much like go
ing back unto slavery to split rails.
Tbe white men mostly have caught
the infection, and “don t want to
lure,” hence if a man can’t make
his own ials, he is in a fix, unless
you vote in the Stock law
I u passing from your town
down the Decatur road, a day or
two ago, nearly to tbe IPestern
limit of the County. I did not see
more than half dozen respectable
fences ou tbe way. Most ot ihem
were old, low, and well nigh rotted
down. On that lithe trip I saw
six cows ui dilfereut places, in the
iields, some ii. tbe corn and others
in the cotton 1
One of tuese cows was pursued
by tbe owner of tbe held, but be
failed to get near her, for her ex
perience admonishej her to get
out of Ihe way, and she out ran
the man. As she ran out, he came
up to me out of breath, and when
he could speak he said; “Major,
V’in a Methodist, and l»ave tried io
live right, but that old cow gets
into my corn, and wheL I get after
her, she out. runs me, and I can't
hit her, and I can only gtit noy
teeth and cuss and wish her and
all sich was in Hell.
The destruction of his corn as I
saw it, was enough in my opinion
to provoke a good man to think
‘dam’, if he didn’t say it!
These feneeH and this depreda
ti on of slock, is now common in
this county, and where is ihe rem
edy ? Now, Mr. Editor, while I
have been 9 friend to the cow, fer
I love milk, and like butter, an<l I
like beef, yet of lale she is getting
into disfavor with me, and if you
no not vote in the stock law I
shall hope and almost pray that
some cattle infection, shall visit
thib section, aud kill the last devil
of an old cow that roams our lanea
aud raid our belds. And the
bogs are no better! Last year
Iwo reutei ein my neighborhood
had heavy losses by hogs. One
estimated hie loss at six wagon
loads, aud the other four, and no
reparation of damages by the
owners of the hogs, not even an
apology!
I don’t preteud here to argue
khe question. It has been argued
sufficiently iu your columns and
elsewlrere. The argrument is all
on the side of a ‘’stock law!
Equity and Justice demands it,
and all thinking, reasonable men,
must see it.
There are three clauses who op-,
pose this measure. First, the
Negro. While there are a few
colored men who will vote for it,
the irrepressible rtgro, wilt vote
to ihe death against it. It is so
here, and so throughout the State.
Yet he won’t make rads, and in
most cases has no stock, except
sheep killing degs
The second class, I name are
tenAiils and croppers. bout half
of these from some conjectured
up falacy of a reason will vote
with Africa. Tuey pieteod to
I have a reason, but ii is too thin
to combat here, or even elsewhere
I or any time,
| The third class, though I thiuk
a small one, that would vote with
the negro and the second class
r.amed, are uivu that have land and
are interested in the abohehmeut
of fences
These mea don’t atop to think,
and they take counsel of their prej
u lices. They were “boin under a
fence.” aud decendeit from fathers
who carried a pumpkin in one end
of the bag, aud a rock in tbe other
Tney cau’t rise above their raising
no matter how things uud circums
stinces have changed, aud talk
‘ stock law’’ to them and they at
once show their teeth and get
/heir back up aud would insult
you if they dared. If these uieu
would go to Bay Creek district,
the only district tual has adopted
it here and would lay aside /heir
prejudices, a shange would come
over “the spirit of their dreams,”
Every where it has been adopted
it bas given general satisfaction.
Let it be tes.ed and if he Eegro
and the second class, backed by
tho third class out vote us,
then let Gwinueit ask for a law
/ha. has been passed for many
counties iu the State, aud
for all who have asked it that the
same act be exteuc/ed to her :
“That every man shall keep hie
stock on his own land"
It is to the enterest of the peo
ple pecuniarily to keep their stock
enclosed. It has been thoroughly
tested by many farmers in this
coun/y, and the universal verdict
that the cattle and hogs do better
than to run ut large.
Tbe same testimony comes to
from every place where they have
the stock law—from South Caroli
na, and from Aluouuia, aud from
the various counties and districts
in this state.
Enclose your cattle and hogs
my friends and k»ep them from
tresspasing on your nieghbors,and
otherwise annoying them, this is
your duty to your nieghbors. It
promote*: good nei ghborship and
friendship. Your stock bus i.o
rights upon your neighbors prem
ises wiihonthis consent and if
vou allow them to bother you are,
to say nothing haisher of yon,
wanting in principle. This poli
cy should prevail among neigh
bors, Stock Law or no Stock
Law.
I have known many instances
where friendship of nieghbors
was destroyed iu this way, one
case in particular I remember
wh ire a bitterness was engendered
between two men scarce a mile
apart from this cause and was noi
healed for more than thirty years.
Then lei us have a“S/oek Law,”
and then these difficulties will
be avoided. W.
JUDGE JACKSON S LETTER.
From the IFalton News.
Atlanta, Ga., July 21th.—Dear
Brother Parks ;—I fear I shall not
be able to join you at Monroe.
The weather is very hot, my health
delicate, ank I sea that the reeult
might be dangerous to a life im
portant to my little household.
Please say to my old neighbors
and friends of Walion county that
my heart is with them, and I bum
bly pray (rod foi their salvation
their full salvation, and that at
your meeting. The Bible, Gehn
Wesley’s work, the old teligion of
the Me'hodist founders all preach
what you and Brother Dodge and
yonr crowd preach; and that is,
“that without holiness, no man
can see the Lord; that no man can
make himself holy: that God only
can do it by the blood of Hie Son
cleansing the soul from all sin,aDd
that comes like every blessing
from God —by simple laith in
Jesus, and that “faithful is He
that calletb you who also will do
R,” as St. Paul wrote iu the last
chapter of First Thessalcnians:
Do what? Why, “pieserve the
whole spirit, soul and body, blame
less unto the coming of our Lord
Jesns Christ,” and ‘'sanciificatify
us wholly," as the context shows
It seems to me that the latter part
of this chapter in First Thessalo
nians is conclusive on your line
And the only part which remains
is, ‘When will Christ faithfully
do jhis great work* The word
“preserve,” is full of meaning, it
seems to me, on this point. It
means “keep you,’, keep you holy
' Well we must be made holy before
we can be kept or preserved bo .
And so the 23rd verse reads;
;‘And the very <»od ot Peace sane.

ptav f»od your wholh spirit and
mul and body (how comprehen
sive these words) bo preserved
blamelrss,” That is sanctify first
wholly’t aud then keep us sancti
ged. By faith in the blood of
Christ get clean, aud by itkeep
clean, :*loouing (all the ime) unto
Jems, the author aud finisher of
our faith.” That God can make
a mao holy in a second as well as
a life time seems to me to be om
nipitent; and on close reading of
Mr. Wesley’s works I see tbit he
“ays that in a gret overwhelming
majority of instances whithin his
knowledge 1/ is done instantly,
jus/ as conversion is generally in -
gtanteous, though sometimes so
gradual that the convert cannot
tell the exact moment of tbut new
birth; of which I myself have
known instances of people who
lived Christian lives aud died in
full view of Heaven
1 regret so much that anybody
opposes you, any Christian, and
above all, any Methodist. No
man can dery that Christ told us
to be‘perfect as our Father iu
Heaven is perfect,’, that in the Oid
7’eetament it is written • “Be ye
holy for lam holy.” yVo maL to
whom Hod has shown his miser
able depiaved heart, “deceitful
above all things, and de-perately
wicked.” will say that he himself
can make his heart pure—such a
decei/ful and desperately wicked
iding holy. Well, if he cannot do
it, who is to do it if God does not?
No being but God can. There i a
no other name given by which w«
can be saved but Christ; no word
ly thing, uo spr nkling or pluugiug
water, uo hyssop or brauee, noth
ing, but the blood from the Sa
vior's side can wash such a thing
as this putrid 1 uman heart clean
aud that can, because God says if
we confess our sin He is faithful
and just to forgiv- our sins and
to cleanse ns from all unrighteous
ness, would be telerbly dean, and
1 think it quite natural and reas
onable /hat wbeu made clean such
an eue would opeuly thank ZVod
for it, like one of the ten lepers
did and received, when he did it,
the Saviours commendation,while
the other nine who shut their
months tigh were condemned by
Htm. Nor can I see any brag
ging or boasting about it, since
he thanks God for al and acknowl
edges bimstlf to be less than noth
ing; needit g tbe surne cleanse* to
keep him clean, and if he turns
his trustful eyes from Jesus a min
ute, /hen he is in the mud again.
Such I understand, dear Broth
er Farks, to be the doctrines you
teach and as a bumble layman, I
wish you God’s speed, And 1 be
lieve He does help you; the fruit
foliowes. You are revived aud
presecuted; ridteuied and scoffed
at: so was Mr. Wesley; so was St.
Paul; aye, so was God, the man
Jesus, the name above all names,
the Saviour of us sinrers from our
sins. Anu so it is declared, shall
be the lot es all tbai live godly.
Remember when revived, revile
not again. Live holiness. Let
the light in you shine not orly
from yoDr voices, but rom your
conduct in all things. Let the
lowly mind, the meek 6pirit of the
Master be exemplified in the lnt-
utility, the meakness, the patience,
the forbearance, the long suffering,
you exnibit on all occasion. In
re igion it ii love that conquers.
And love is the law waitteu on the
Chris'ian s heart; supreme love to
God, to man, as to one’s own self
And holiness and sanctifycatiou
are but this love. Such love dis
played by Christians must con
quer the world. Eisplay it, dear
brother, and as sure as the once
persecuted Wssley has now hit
name inscribed is Westminister
Abbey amend the magnets of
England, you and your fellow labs
orers will overcome prejudice and
win maLkind.
See how Wod aids you now;
Look at the conversions and sanc
tifications iu your district. If
God be for u- who can prevail
against us, Who ought to oppose
you, if God helps you to cast out
devils. “Lord, we saw one cast
ing out devils in Thy name and
forbade him.” fin-bid him not,
said the Saviour. How can any
servant of Christ forl-ik you or
throw obstacles in your way,where
so many are converted and sanc.i-
I lied and vhow their change of life
by their conduct, under your
preaching rud that cf you bretber
leu of like faith in your district ?
; 1 would no* cast a fea/ber iu your
patn for all tbe world. Look at
your wonderful meetings in Augus
ra, aud more recently in Athens
and tbe feuits which followed
them. One must bavj great self
eontidsuee who helps to be little
aud deride your work. I pray
that God will bless you and your
work morn and more and that you
may spread scriutural holiness
over your whole district, much of
which was uiy old judical and
congressional district years ago.
Above alii I pray that you may
have abundant success in old Wal
ton aud the town of Mooroe,where
first my soul cried “Abbs Father,’
and whose people I love. “May
Ibe vary 3od of peace sanctify
them wholv, and may their whole
spirit aud soul and body be pre
served blameless unto the coming
of our Lord Jesus t hrists. Faith-
ful is he that calleth them who al
so will do.” While you and they
my dear brother, rejoice together
at tho meeting iu this great salva
tion, pray that I may receive, here
at home, the like glorious blessing,
which I desire above all tilings
and expect constantly to receive
Waiting pneiently for ibeLord
tili be inclined uuio mo and hour

inbred sin and to be filled with
all the fiillueas of God. I Remain
affectionately. Your Brother in

A STARTLING CASE
/ the city prison now lies a
young while woman who was cap
tured yesterday afternoon one
mile and a half from the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad shops.
For some time a small audrudely
constructed hut has been noticed
in a swamp near Kries creek
about two miles from tbe city ;
ami to tins but at ditlerent times
colored men have been known to
resott Once or twice it was
thought that a white woman was
seen near tbe hut, and a uumb r
of citizens concluded to investi
gate the uia/ter. Last week a
watch was kept on the place and
it wus ascertained that a woman
lived in ihe hut iu filth and rags.
And it was also noticed tha the
woman

titan a Imruan being
believing that all was not right
the citizens informed the police of
the niat'er and yesterday after
rood the following party visited
the hut j Officers Purdy and
Cain Messrs. S. W. Carletui), D.
B. Longee, W D. Wheeler, Lu’.h

When near the woman's raucue
the occupants rushed from the
house and darted into the woods.
The woman alaorun, and hid in
the swamp. After a search of an
hour she was fcuad and after a se
vere struggle, overpowered by
her captors and brought to the
city prison.
It »as the desire of the possee
to capture some of the othera, but
they had too much start to be
overtaken. When being brought
to prison the woman only partially
clad, like a wild beast, raved and
tried to break loose /’rotu her cap

of the
woman’s fearful story
was, that her nam9 is Jane Whee*

to the State Lunatic Asylum, and
escaped. Search was made for
her evey. bat without success. It
was «uyposed she had wandered
into the woods and died from star

where she was found i.~ not known.
She was found by a lot of road
hands, who Luilt her a hut, made
her do all their washing, and tben
treated qer inhumanly.
This raoruing the woman was
quiet and seemed rational enough
to wuswer most of of the Capitol
reporter’s questions. She denied
being crazy and said she was liv

"Who built your hut ?''
“They did."
“H'jwiong haVe you been living

“Oh, a long time and I enjoy

A DEMON'S DEED.
Cuthbkrt Ga , August 10—This
comunity wus shocked and is
thoroughly aroused over the news
which lias reached hero of a fiend
ish outrage, which wa committed!'
by Henry Davis, a negro in this
couuiy. ’The circumstances are
revolting in the the extreme, and
the perpetrator will expiate his
crime by death.
Lillie Sylvia Knight, aged nine
years, and her smaller brother
aged sever,, the children of the
Rev Johu T Knight, a Baptist
Minister and farmer of Ingh Hlaml
mg, left their home for school
a walk which carraied them two
miles south of Ward s S'ation.
Their mother had prepared their
buckets for them and after kiss
ing them good hye watched them
as they walked band iu baud down
the country road, until they were
out of sight.
After the children had progress
ed on their jovmey about three
quarters of a mile they
WERE SUDDENLY l-OUNCED UPON
by a burly negro, perfect.ly unde
who had been lying iu wait be
hind a large slnutp by the road
side. Seizing the liJile girl in his
powerful grasp and commanding
the little Loy iu thundering tones
to remain in the road or die, he
carried the victim, torn choked
aud bleeding lo a place of con,
coalmen*, where he treated her iu
a horrible and most outrageous
manner and escaped intothe woods
adjoining.
Grazed with fear and almost /he
verge of insinity the children re'
tiirueb home at, quickly as possi
ble and told their teirible story
to father and mother. In a par
tial description gotten from them
it was stated among o/her things
that the negro, who was perfectly
nude, had a
LARGE SCAR ON HIS HIP.
Public indignation was u fever
iieut aud a posse of men armed
with shot guns, rifles, pistols
knives, clubs, etc., went iu pur
suit. When some half dozen or
more had been rrrested they were
laken in a body to the h mse of
the grief stricken parents as they
approached the dwelling the little
girl recognize 1 the demon who
assaulted her, and turning to uer
mother exclaimed :
“Moiker theae is the very on tt
and if they wili search him they
will see the scar.”
The scoundrel proved to be
Henry Davis, a desperately mean
negro, ah-xit nineteen years old
and in the employ of Colonel H.
j Crittenden of Ward’s station. He
was carried before Dr. Bridgeman
j and proved to he the scoundrel
wanted, not only by the scar upon
i his person, but by statements and
proof uncontradicted.
