Puhlio meetings have been bold by both parn S ties and addrossed by tho members of tho Legislature and efforts aro being tnado to reconcile the division. Fears of a sorious split in the party aro entertained, but wo hope, thoro as boro, that no division of opin ion upon a maUor of this kind will bo per mitted to divido tho Democrats and loso tho State. * Tho same question is being quiotly agir, tated in this county, aud thoro is a wide di versity of opinion as to tho propriety and < ndvantago of extending tho law to tho North Carolina lino, or nt least to eomo point above Walhalla. Wo believe on a popular voto tho opposition to tho stock law would havo a majority; but among tho landholders tho ro sult would bo doubtful, with a probability that those favoring tho law would have a majority. Tho ostensi?n of tho law pecul iarly effeols tho farming community, and as tho people ato sensitive on all such questions ' thoy should bo cautiously acted on, lest by 1 dividing tho pooplo wo should loso tho Stato government for what many conceive to bo a 1 local beaofit. 1 Wo holiove tho scll:ng prico of lands be low tho lino fonco has becu groatly inoroasod 1 and that a similar riso in valuo would result ' from tho ostensi?n of tho law. An exton- ' sion of tho law would likowiso prevent many ^ neighborhood difficulties, out off much ex- c ponse to tho taxpayers from indictments for j malicious trcsoass, and in a few years of * trial would become both acceptable and prof- 0 itablo. Thcso opinions aro being ro?ltsod in the growing feeling of acceptance of tho law, c whore it exists, many of its bittor opnoncnts c in our oounty aro now favoring it. Wo havo 11 found, too, that niuo tenths of thoso seeking homos in our county profor to buy below tho ' stook fonco. As tho pooplo adapt themselves 11 to the law, they will bo stronger advooatos J^ of it and would opposo its abolition far moro ^ than they did its adoption. M1 Weare nota s'ook growing pooplo, as h thoy are in tho West, and any attempt at it ? would result in failure Our woods pastor- A ago is not sufficient to sustain and iattcn hi largo he.ds, and if thoy wero, growing cots h ton as wo do to tho foot of tho mountains, wo rt would bo unable to oarry thom through tho tl Winter. In fact with tho little stock wo now j' have thero is n groat dearth of food for their fn winter support aod at its prices tho forago ai eaten by dry cattle during winter ia worth j H about as muoh as the beef when fat at pres.- H\ BfllBltm ont prices. A few head o? good milkers is ec lr Lw moro profitable than a score of scrubs, bl M? W Tho some ie true of hogs. Wc have but little n ^?^.^^ maslin this county and a good stock of hogs bi well fed and pastured on a small area would l': pay better, counting the cost of growing and m fattening. co This is our opinion and wc bcliovo thc peo* ftr plo of this couKty would bo strongly attached w to tho fenco law on a fow years tvial. Wo j * may bo mistaken, but wo hopo if the law 011 should or should not bo adopted all our peo- j'' plo will submit to tho result without division -1 ' or dissatisfaction. uc Tho great chango in our system of farming ^ beforo and sinoo tho war londors a stook law . more desirable. Cotton is now our loading . I cu staple, whilo then corn, whont. oats, ric, were grown almost to tho ontiro exclusion of oy cotton. This caused i'orogo for stock to be . , I th very cheap, while beef sold at os good prices . as now, making scrub stook somowhat profita- 1 hie. Now such Btock hardly ropays tho ex- mi pense of wintering and we hardly bcliovo wc tbat a throe year old bcof, selling for $10 or 00 $12, pays to its owner a small return for its feed. Fodder last spring sold at $!i to $3.25 per hundred bundles and shucks at $J 50 (o $4 for a two horse load. Thoso who win tered stock Inst winter lost money and with nn increasing area to cotton this result ie likely to continue JJ Taking as facts theso estimates, and con? (n sidering tho largo cost of building iences, j; and is not tho stock law desirable? Wo may yu bo in ovror and dosi re to hear nil sides of tho ^ quOBtion. Our experience, and opinions Q. br.sod on them, is not ns satiBfaoto.y to our- nC selves as those of poi sons actually engaged co in farming. Whilo then theoretically and et from observation whero tho stock law prevails ^ WO favor its extension, wo aro open to cou- gc viclion by fair reasoning. JJ Tho question at this timo is of direct ?rn- to ?portanoo to tho ci ti/.ons of this county *abovo L ibo lino fonco. Spnrtanburg county already w l^S tbo stook law to tho North Carolina lino tl ?nd it is oxpeotod that efforts will bo mado g< \ to extend it in the counties of Greenville and di \ Fiokons to tho s?mo point.

Vandhror treated bis young friends on last Friday evening to tho first hop of tho season. It was quite a pleasant affair and Mr. Davis, the master of ceremonies, ought to havo tho sal inf ac ti., n of knowing that he did well. Mr. William Mooro, n fino young shoemaker from Oconeo County, has located ot this place. Dr. James B. Drown, an excellent physician of our ?'burg," contemplates remoViug to Seueoa.

On the 3d lustant Moses MoAuloy and Clara McQeo, both of Aft loan descent, were married. Our young friend and eloquent bai Visier, Mr. J. T. Compton, speaks of emigrating to the West ero long. Thus far very fow of our citizens havo goao to the Exposition. Wo presumo thal (ho main causo of this may be attributed to tho short crops and tho largo amount of fl'lhy lucre they aro compelled to administer in tho sbapo of cordials to hotel and boarding houso keepcis while in Atlanta. Tho principal part of (ho colton crop has been gathered and it is ascertained thal (ho yield is to some extonl bolter thou was antici pated. About two-thirds of a crop bas been tnado in this immediate vicinity. Corn will be a short crop, but tho deficiency will perhaps bo more than made up hy tho Im mense quantity of bay that is being saved, mid if tho people would only devinto from tho habitual uso of ridiculous luxuries and usc judicious management, I think this year would not provo extremely detrimental after all.
