lawfulfehcfe in Union County; and youwill agree with me when I tell you that a fence, to belawfiil, hu to be tire feet high, etched and ridered, and as high as four feet without a space exceeding four inches. I have heard another objection to the stick law, \i* : that if it is enforced, we will hare is go to yur Railway stations te get our horses and hogs, 'because drortrs will not run the risk of prosecutions for trespass. Let us see and determine, "by asking aad answering some questions: What < put in any trheafc or oats ? Not much. What 'crop is in the fields t Cotton only, lias not ' 'the frosts withered the leaves and teudcr Hints? Yes. Do horses and hogs trouble it then? No. What is the difference between expenses ot dro' vers in town and country ? Twice as much iu Town. Which is to the interest of drovers, to stay in town or drive into the country ? The latter of course. Why ? Because his expenses are less. He sells out at once fofPenough more than lie could get in Town to pay all expenses. Then others will follow his example, as did the Nexvs.papers when the first paid one the postage to in'crease its circulation. Besides, they trade largely in our 8Ute and pay nothing for protection iu person and prop criy, which they get as speedily as do. we who .pay taxes for the same benefits, without their 1 enormous profits. > Then next we come to the value of pastures i "with cross fences. Take one hundred acres un' der one fence, and in one week it is rendered worthless by tbe droppings of the cattle, how- ' 'ever luxuriant the growth; cutthis into five tracts < of twenty acres each, which you could easily do ? if you did not have to fence the crops, and your tpastursge by rest would all the lime be first class; 1 and then, too, the woods lands would spring up 1 with rich pasturage and you would only have to I move your pasture fence. It is useless to talk i of pasturing wheat and oat stubble, for the far- ( mtr who does not known that he loses by it is too 1 much of a hard shell to spend breath on. < Then comes the increased value of stock, kept t pure. As the matter now stands, a farmer may 1 buy a Jersey or Aldeiney or Guernsey cow, and there comes Brown's or Smith's spiked rumped, t year-old "buck of the water*' bull calf, and away goes the pride of the islands in an ignominious unnatural embrace. In like manner "White Chester" becomes.spotted nuisance and ebony "Essex" becomes the piebald pest. With soiled stock comes aluices of manure; with ' magnificent manure heaps comes manifold crops. 3 How can we feed them T With German Millet, turnips, cotton seed, luoerne and olover. I Horses and males have never been allowed ts run at large : Why f . -Because., first* they are in constant demand, and men know it is a waste of time ts hunt them when wanted. Second mj, moj ivuvo uroaners ua are too valuable to lose. Because & man has no fence around his land is it right that another's stock should eat his ncorus, chestnuts and gross ? If so, it is right ; if a man lose his purse on unenclosed land that ^ the finder shall be the owner. If I go upon 1 lands, after notice not to do so, I am liable to be fined and imprisoned. Not so with a rator bock shoot or a spike rumped yearling, because they are superior to the gtnu* homo, as the low now,4s. The people are confused, they need enlightening, and when educated they will see that the passage of the stoeklaw it the first firm step towards material prosperity, as our predecessors j In agricultural science hare proven it. A few small landholders oppose it. Why? Simply because they think they will have to feed \ their cattle, as they have not a sufficiency of p "Japan clover"*lots to make the requisite amount p of "blue John, ' worth in the market 1 cent per galll^JafMd pig* ?n. so ihajt. <lui? .to have ? them well filled on the grass belonging to their neighbors. Neighbsrly, is it not ? One thing I want to impress upon the people and it is this, we who are in favor of the stock law do not wish or intend to take one single right from any man. We do not, nor does the law, propose to curtail any man's right to keep up as many and as high p fences as lie may see fit. We only ask that every man shall keep his own and the stock of his 1 tenants on liis own place. Is there anything J wrong in this. e One word to the colored man and I am done, for the present. Through whom do you get your living? "am hones boss de lan' owner?" "Yes." Does he not now pasture your stock ?" "Sure, sir." "Docs he charge you?" "No sir."? "Well, if you were merchandizing in Union Village and had' twenty clorks, and those men who were not in business would propose to tax ,IA? a - ? ?? -* juw cHuiuiuuaijr iv uunu u useless wail arouna the town and your clerks should rote with them, what would you\lo ?" "l)e debil, I'de turn dom 4 off." Just so. Well, why would it not be right * " then, if the tenants rote to kcop on the land ^ * Swnef* this enermous fence tax, that their stock 0 should be turned into the lanes Winter and Sum- * mer? If so, soon the fence corners would be bare, the starring cattle would break fences ( irate farmers would kill them, the tenant be with- a -oilt stock and no way to help himself. My col- p ored friends, out of the land holder you getyour living. The "carpet-bagger" has gone with the n pickings. Do not allow yourselves to be per- ^ suaded again to go counter to your own interests, g by men who have only their own axes to grind. Hear both sides pntientl* , and then vote as if n you were free men, bound to nothing save a conviction of right and Ilnmptou. Then tenant and landholder will alike flourish like a green bay tree?peace will reign and hard times will come again no more. JOHN W. TENCH. Important to County Auditors and Tax Payers. Exkcutivk Dkpartmknt, m OrriCK Comptrollkr General, Columbia, July 28, 1877. The laws regulating tho assessment of real cs- < tate and the provisions for abatements and cor- I rcctions are construed at this office as follows: 1 1. The valuation of all real estate subject to t (taxation is fixed once in five years. Those entrusted with the duty of making this valuation are to assess it at its then estimated "true value 1 in money and until anothor fivo years havo i elapsed, no reduction of the aggregate assess- t meut of the real property of any county can be .made, whatever the decreased valuo of the same may be. J 2. The annual County Board of Equalization may redistribute the valuations of real propor- ( iy in their respective oounties, subject to the j following restrictions: First. They uiay raiso values, when in their opinion too low, to what they believe to be the "true values." Second. Thcv mnv rciluco values, when in i their opinion too high "in comparison with the I average valuation of the county," to that stand- < ant. This rule docs not authorize a reduction , of the assessment of any parcel of real property, on proof, by sale or otherwise, that K is worth less than the assessed value, but only 1 when the assessod value is higher relatively than the average valuation of jlic county. Third. They shall not reduoe the value of the 1 real property in any county be)ow the aggregate ' nsscssmont of the State Hoard. From the above provisions of the law, it will i be seen that when a reduction is made upon the i assessment of one parcel of real proporty, the I amount of that reduction must be distributed by proportionate additions to the values of every i other parcel of real property in the same county ; that from the necessity of llio case, such acil'on of the County Hoards can only be had at their Annual meetings; and that after the duplicate is in the hands of the Treasurer, and the collection of the taxes is being made, it is no longer practicable for that year. 8. The County Auditors are required, in taking the annual returns of personal property, to correct the variations in values of real property caused by the erection or destruction of buildings and improvements? this corrected valuation to affect the taxation of the succeeding year. The increased or decreased assessment cannot affect the taxation of the year in which the buildings were erected or destioyed. The Auditor's actiou in this matter is laid befoig the | County Boards, and they are governed by the' rulee above stated, with this ia addition: That they must aggregate the values of all new structures inthectunty, and of ell new entri^V reported ; from this deduct the total values of property destroyed; if the latter is in the excess, then such excess is to be added proportionately t# all the valuations of real property in the county, so as to conform to the thinl, quoted above. Any tax payer may appeal from the action of the County Boards in such matters to the Comptroller-General, and it is the duty of the Auditor, in case of appeal, to forward all the testimony relative to the alleged grievances to this office. 4. The County Auditor may. without reference to Any one else, correct any errors be may discover in the name of the owner, the locality, description or quantity of real estate on any re- i turn made to his office. , 6. After the duplicate is made up, errors dis- , covered iu it must be submitted in writing by j the County Auditor to the Comptroller-General, snd can be corrected only on the written order , of tho latter. * j 0. After the County Treasurer has received i his duplicate, persons claiming to be erroneous- ; ly or illegally charged with taxes, must declare y he same in writing to the County Treasurer, < ivho shall forward (he complaint, with a full ( itatement of facts, to the County Auditor. The ( atter officer shall submit the papers to the ] bounty Board of Equalization for their endorse- uent, and then forward them to the Comptrol- j er-General with his own remarks ] The foregoing construction of the laws will >e observed by County Auditors and Treasurers. r ?
