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 For some time the mails have been flooded with petitions urging our representative to have the law repealed if possible.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 Terms, $l A Year In Advance. s amis.

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. • e* ♦ ......
