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. ti!y you wholly,” is the first para graph, ana then iohowe ; ‘and I Our Otcn Section— He Labor For Its Advancement. LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. August 18 1885 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 ly expecting to be emptied of all inbred sin and to be filled with all the fiillueas of God. I Remain affectionately. Your Brother in Christ. James Jackson. , 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 ACTED MORE LIKE AN ANIMAL 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 er Pinion and William Patterson. 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 tors. All that could he learned of the woman’s fearful story was, that her nam9 is Jane Whee* ler, and she has relatives in South Georgia and a brother-in law it. Atlanta. Some years ago shesant 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 vation and want. How she got 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 ing a hippy life. "Who built your hut ?'' “They did." “H'jwiong haVe you been living in tbe swamp ? ’ “Oh, a long time and I enjoy it too." The woman commenced weepc iug and liegged piteonsiy rot to let anybody carry her back to the asylum. Wheu she again looked tue light of reason wav no linger in her eyes, and she began to RAVE LIKE MANIAC.

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. I it was hard to prevent the in furiated populace from a fiuinister iug summary punishment, but j when THE FATHER ROSE. Among them in his terrible and grief and rex nested that the law should be upheld, believing it to j be adequate to the ends of justice a cooler judgement prevailed and he was brought to this place aud | placet] in jail to await his trial at tne November term of Randolph JOHN T.

HE SUED FOR A COFFIN In 1875 there lived in the lower portion of this county an old man by the name of John Itennels, who at that lime was a widower, his wife hiving died some years pre vto us. Bding in good circumstances as i far as this worlds gcods were coq- | cerued, the old mad concluded he would toke again nuto himself a companion, to cheer him in declin ing age.
