THE STOCK LAW-
IT WILL STAND AS IT IS BY A VOTK OF
70 to 1.
On Thursday of last week was the
day set apart by the Legislature, for
the Agricultural Committee to take
action upon the bill for the repeal of
the Stock Law introduced by the Hon.
Richmond Harris. For some time
the mails have been flooded with
petitions urging our representative to
have the law repealed if possible. At
the appointed hour committee con
vened and was called to order by the
Chairman the Hon. Mr. Felton, of
Macon. Upon motion of the Hon.
Jno. Sims, of Lincoln, the regular
order of business was taken up,
whereupon the Chairman announced
that the Columbia county Stock Law
would be considered. After a few pre
liminaries, Mr. M. I. Branch, of
Columbia, addressed the committee at
considerable length against repeal,
setting forth a number of reasons why
the law should remain as it is, show
ing damaging results that would fol
j low in case of repeal and closed with
1 an earnest appeal for the law as it now

s amis. At the close of Mr. Branch**
| remarks, Mr. McDaniel was intro
duced and made the crowuitig effort
of his life; it wak brief but to ths
point, eloquent and Convincing and
■ carried conviction to the minds of all
I save one. Mr. McDaniel’s remarks
| fell upon good ground and brought
forth fruit, abundantly and elicited ’
pleasant criticisms from quite a num
ber. At this juncture Mr. Calvin, of
Richmond, announced that he had in
his hand two letters addressed to him,
requesting that they bo read to the
committee, these letters represented
both sides of the question. After the
reading and the propounding of sev«
oral questions, a motion was made
that the committee report back to the
house that the bill do not pass. Th*
motion met with a second at the hands
of the Hou. Martin V Calvin. A vote
was called for and resulted in victory
for the Stock Law, by a vote of about
70 to 1, which in all probability set
tles this question for all time to come.
