' The Stock Ln\v-?Its Hardships, IJeit-M cfits, nuil Fallacies. j< It is right for our people to be right in ! any great measure affecting them so;' closely as the Stock Law, and although j< wc have written so much already there-,' | anent, we feel called on again to sayj' something that may help us all to think j! right about it, and to understand why:1 there should be some opposition to the 1 measure. No law ever was an unmixed [ I flood. The best of laws lias sharp angles!' that hurt somebody. Any cause of con- 11 duet about which the whole world is? ' agreed is a law of itself without lcgisla? ' live enactment, and if everybody had 11 wished for the Stock Law, there would)' have been no need to ask the Legislature!( to pass it. Like all other laws, even the!1 best, the Stock Law has its hardships as ' well as its benefits, and about it too there are several fallacies entertained both by 1 its advocates and its adversaries. A ! quiet consideration of them will enable ' us all to understand why some arc op- ' posed to the law which, according to our ' idea of it, all our people should be glad to get passed. Jfardn/iips. It is a hardship on poor 1 people who have no pasturage. At first 1 sight it seems a hardship to poor people both in tho town and rural districts. ! But the rural poor can easily and cheaply rent a cow's grass from their ricliei ' neighbor or from their employer. Tin ' poor of the towns and villages cannot so easily do so. To relieve this temporary hardship, enterprising and thrifty men should establish dairies in the vicinity of ' our towns and villages, and send their milk-carts around every morning selling ( milk and butter?by all means fur tin cash. It is also a hardship on some farmers who had sown down their best pasturelands in grain, but the hardship is only very temporary. ^ It is also a hardship in eases where farxiers have enclosed all their arable lands P^in one continuous and expensive fence, , while their cattle roamed at large in woods and meadows that were unoccupied. Such men cannot be expected individually to fall in love with the Stock Law. The mero obligation to build ? pasture-fence, no inexpensive or convenient piece of work for some of us, max also bo added as a hardship. Wo hav< heard, indeed, that one of the stoutest udvocates of the Stock Law who wa? greatly instrumental in procuring itspassage, finds that part of the work not so pleasant or profitable. Benefits. The establishment of dairyfarms already mentioned will be no small benefit as-Jiflering a new and prolitabh rucfusfry to our people. The stock will be greatly improved. Better breeds will be introduced, cow> will bo fed better and more regularly, and both beef and dairy produce will be of a better kind. If the cows had a vole, they would lift their horns on high, and low unanimously for the Stock Law. It will save this poor county of Abbeville half a million of dollars annually in fences. At 2o to :>0 cents a panel the fences of Abbeville County cost two and a half million dollars. A fence is virtually renewed every five years, i. e., our feuces cost annually $500,OHO. The fenciug-in of stock will vastly increase the growth of timber, as young troes will not be in danger of being nibbled up or trampled down. The preservation of our timber, in itself a great direct benefit, indirectly will :<!w3to?k for our good in inducing and regu^^lattngour rain-fall. 1'his is demonstrable, no matter how some of our people may doubt it Protect our forests and our forests will save us from drought. Tbe saving in actual tillable area made up of fence corners in itself is 110 inconsiderable benefit. The fence corner is proverbially fertile, and somo Ingenious person should calculate how many acres in the County, hitlierto occupied by fences, will now bo under the plough. ? Another benetit to the poor man that will accrue is the lowering of rents that will inevitably follow the execution of the law. The number of farms now offered to rent will be greatly increased, as the great obstacle to the renting of farms? the building of fences ? has ifeen re- ' moved; and as the supply increases the rente will decrease. * | _ __ Fallacies. One or the fallacies about 1 st/v>t Tjiw is: this?that the rich neo- ' pie grudgo the grass. "They grudge the , . grass!" is the cry, as if it were a measure | "whose prime object was to oppress the < poor. Our poor aro poor indeed if they claim a right to even a blade of grass that . docs not belong to them. It is no ques- < tion of "grudging grass"' at all. It is a ' question of individual right and public good. It is not a question of "grudging < the grass," but of "grudging" the mil- ' lions annually spent in keeping up worm j fences that cumber the ground. It is a j question too of "grudging" tho dostruc- < tion of our magnificent forests to supply 1 rails, and of "grudging" tho destruction J of our.crops which tho worm fences did . * not protect. i It is fallaciously urged that the Stock , Law is in the interest of a class. 'Tis , tho voice of the Commune; we hear ii J complain. To refute this fallacy, it is desirable that those who believe in ii j should state it moro plainly. If they ( would state it as it is when reduced to its last analysis, namely, that any one ' class is bound to consider any other class as paupers and to feed them?no rofutu- ( tion would be necessary. Other fallacies, such as that it is a rich man's law, and that it imposes an additional tax, 'are of the same stripe and need no comment. Hon. B. H. Hill. e" This distinguished citizen of Georgia bas undertaken to destroy tho character of Governor Colquit in reference to that officer's action in signing Railroad bonds. "When a great man like lien If ill goes out of his way to crush out a man who has, i by tho Legislature, been honorably acquitted of the charge, wo think lie is in an infinitesimally small business, and for such unreasonable persecution of a fellow citizen, deserves a just rebuke from the people of Georgia. Wo have lxscn one of Ilill's admirers. but wo think he is now about out of a job. It's none of his business to persecute the 1 Governor. Asa lawyer lie knows that a 1 man, after .being tried and acquitted, is generally Iqt alono. - % The question lias been asked us, who ' - * are the trustees of the public schools of I j the county?

It is generally believed that there are here a very few Radicals who still hope to see the government of this state and County turned over to the Southern corn-Held negroes and the Northern white tramps who have infested this country after the war, and any note of encburageirent from anybody strengthens that hope. It is believed Jhere that a few of our white citizens and a number of colored men, were delighted sit Alf.ed 15utier's opportunity to swear away, if he could, the good name of our people. It is said that one of out white citizens sent an order to tlie telegraph otlice assuming the charges of telegrams to Mackey from Butler, but his order was not honored. Afterwords.

A meeting was called a few days I before the election and a very few delegates ' attended?not more than sixteen.

'HE PUBLIC SCHOOLS^ Office of scuoor. Commissioner, > Abbeville II., S. ('..January '20, is?!'. f The following Circular from the StateSupertendent of Education will explain Itself. in commended to the nttentlon of the hool Trustees of the county aril all other* lioiti It may concern. DAVID CRAWFORD. School Commissioner. Abbeville County. Cm.t.'MniA. S. C., January ), UTO. o the School OtmmUxloncr of Abbeville Qnunty. !STn-? 1. In niafclnjrthcnpportlonrnentof e hool fundn for the present yejvr, county ch^ol Commissioners shookl takp care not > exceed the amount which will probably he illectcd. Boards of Trnstees should be cau011 fd not to ninke contracts In excess of the :honl funds of their DlstrJc'-^-all snch con aeta nre void?see 5ec. 40 of the School Law. oples of this I,nw were ?ent during the past car to the several county school commlsoners. Should additional copies be needed ) supply Boards of Trustees, the county ;hooi commissioners can obtain them on apllcatlon to ttilsoffice. 2. One of the evils of the public school syssm In the past, has been the establishment f too mnnv schools. The rcsnlts of this error have been to dlIde the funds of the School Districts Into mall portions, thns reducing the salaries of enehers and thereby impairing the efficiency f tho public schools. Thesmalier the ntimer of schools In ench District, the better will e the pay of the teachers, and the more ctfl lent the work which will be done. The chools should he so situated as to afford all iroper facilities to the pupils of the different localities but It is believed that in many intances this can best be done by reducing the lumber of the schools heretofore established, 'he salaries of teachers are not regulated by aw, nor would it be pracllcable fo do so. The salaries which can be paid in u?t depend ipon the amount of the school fund, which rarles in different School Districts, and upon ither conditions which Roards of Trustee* mist take into consideration. Asa general ule, I Would advise that the rate of pay alowed teacher be as liberal as possible. The ervlcesof competent teachers cnunot be obiiined fur inadequate compensation. .1. No amendments to tho School Law were nude at the recent session of the Legislature. Several Acts and Joint Resolutions were pass..I fir... rl.n ..?l...?l i ? . ?.... I 'ounties In the Htatc. Their purport csiunol >e Indicated in a circular. Count/ sehool ioinmlssloncrs can oh tain the information iccessary for their guidance by reference to he Acts and Joint Resolutions which will loon be published. 4. In.answer to repeated Inquiries on this mbject I would sj;7 that I know of no luw >rescribln;; the a?e at which pupils shall he iliowed toavall themselves of the benefits of lie public schools. 5. The school fund oollectcd for the pnst flsm?I year was SUfi, 107.10. Taxes which will be lereafler collected by executions will Increase his anionnt. It Is probable that tho school fnnd of this rear will to at least equal to that of tho ) ast ^ear. The proper expenditure of this lar*:e rtiin Imposes upon the various school olllcers t high and important trnat. Tht people of :his State have a right to oxpect thutthe chool fund shall bo expanded not on'y honestly, but wisely. To secure these end?, couri:y school commissioners are earnestly advised to spare .io effort to obtain the hearty cooperation of their subordinate oillcers, and ay all means in their powor to arouse among lie people of the several counties an lncre;i8^d Interest lu the cause of publio education, Very Respecttully, HUtiU S.
