m*r \ . lawfulfehcfe in Union County ; and youwill agree with me when I tell you that a fence, to belawful, has to be live feet high, stated and ridered, and as high as four feet wilhoina space exceeding four inches. \ 1 have heard another objection to the stick law, Vis : that if it is enforced, we will have m go to ^our Hallway stations to get our horses anl hogs, 'because drovers will not run the risk of prosecutions for trespass. Let us see and determine, "by asking and answering some questions : What , put in any tvlieat or oats T Not much. What crop is in tho fields T Cotton onlv lla> the frosts withered the leaves and lender Hints? Yes. Do horses and hogs trouble it then ? No. What is the difference between expenses ot drovers in town and country ? Twice lis much in Town. Which is to the interest of drovers, to stay in town or drive into the country? The latter of course. Why? Dccausc his expenses are less, lie sells out at once foJPenough more than he could got in Town to pay all expenses. Then others will follow his example, as did the News.papers when the first paid one the postage to in'crcase its circulation. Besides, they trade largely in our State and pay nothing for protection iu person and property, which thoy get as speedily as do we who .pay taxes for the same benefits, without their ' enormous profits. Then next we come to the value of pastures "with cross fences. Talce one hundred acres un'dcr one fence, and in one week it is rendered 'worthless by the droppings of the cattle, how A over luxuriant the growth; cukthis into five tracts of twenty acres each, which you could easily do if you did not have to fence the crops, and your lpasturnge by rest would all the timobe first class; and then, too, the woods lands would spring up with rich pasturage and you would only have to move your pasture fence. It is useless to talk r.t posturing wheat and oat stubble, for the farmer who does not known that he loses by it is too much of a hard shell to spend breath on. Then comes the increased value of stock, kept pure. As the matter now stands, a farmer may buy a Jersey or Aldeiney or Quernsey cow, and here comes Brown's or Smith's spiked rumped, .year-old "buck of the water"' bull calf, and away goes the pride of the islands in an igno ~<ui?uo uoaniuni embrace. In like manner "White Chester" becomes.spotted nuisance and ebon; "Essex" becomes tne piebald pest. With soiled stock comes sluices of manure; with magnificent manure heaps comes manifold crops. How can we feed them T With German Millet, . turnips, cotton seed, luoerne and olover. r Horses and moles hare never been allowed to run at large : Why T - Because, first, they are in constant demand, and men know it is a waste of time to hunt them up when wanted. Secondly, they are fence breakers aad are too valuable to lose. Because a man has no fence around his land is it right that another's stock should eat his acorns, chestnuts and grass T If so, it is right if a man lose his purse on unenolosed land that the finder shall be the owner. If I go upon lands, after notice not to do so, I am liable to be fined and imprisoned. Not so with a razor back shoat or a spike rumped yearling, because they are superior to the genu* homo, as the law now is. The people are confused, they need enlightening, and when educated they will see that the passage of the stocklaw is the first firm step towards material prosperity, as our predecessors in agricultural science have proven it. A few small landholders oppose it. Why? Simply because they think thev will have to feed their cattle, as they hare not a sufficiency of "Japan clover"'lots to make the requisite amount of "blue John, ' worth in the market 1 cent per Tr*nH ||f*"' pigs ?n. ?n they. JmIm to hare themweTl filled on the grass belonging to their neighbors. Neighborly, 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 fences as he may see fit. We only ask that every man shall keep his own and the stock of his tenants on his own place. Is there anything wrong in this. One word to the colored man and I ain done, for the present. Through whom doyou get your living? "am hones boss de lan' owner?" "Yes." Does he not now pasture your stock ?" "Sure, air." "Does he charge you?" "No sir."? "Well, if you were merchandizing in Union Village and had' twenty clerks, and those men who were not in business would propose to tax you enormously to build a useless wall around the town and your clerks should vote with them, what would you/lo ?" "De debit, I'de turn dem off." Just so. Well, why would it not he right .then, if the tenants vote to keop on the land owners this enermous fence tax, that their stock should be turned into the lanes Winter and Summer? If so, soon the fenoe corners would be bare, the starving cattle would break fences irate farmers would kill them, the tenant be without stock and no way to help himself. My colored friends, out of the land holder you get your living. The "carpet-bagger" has gone with the nickinrs. Do not allow vouranlvM ?? h* n?r suaded again to go counter to jour own interests, by men who have onlj their own axee to grind. Hear both aides patiently, and then vote as if jo* were free men, bound to nothing save a conviction of right and Hampton. Then tenant andtlandfcolder 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. Exbcutivb Department, Orrioa Comptroller General, Colombia, July 28, 1877, The laws regulating the assessment of real estate and the provisions for abatements and corrections are construed at this offioe as follows: 1. The valuation of all real estate subject to itaxatien 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 in money and until another five years have .elapsed, no reduction of the aggregate assessment of the real property of any county can be .made, whatever the decreased value of the same ^ tmay be. 2. The annual County Board of Equalisation >may redistribute the valuations of real properly in their respective oonnties, subjeot to the following restrictions: First. They may raiso values, when in their opinion toe low, to what they believe to be the true values." Second. They may reduce values, when in ttheir opinion too high "in comparison with the average valuation of the county," to that standk and. This rule does not authorise a redaction P of tho MfMswant of any parcel of real property, on proof, by sale or otherwise, that It is worth less than the assessed value, but only when the assessed value is higher relatively than the average valuation of the county. Third. They shall not reduce the value of the real property in any county be)a?r the aggregate assessment of the State Board, From the above provisions of the law, it will be seen that when a reduction is made upon the assessment of one parcel of real property, tho amount of that reduction must be distributed by proportionate additions to the values of every ? other parcel of real property iu the same county ; that from the necessity of the case, such aoA'on of the County Boards can only he had at ' their Annual meetings; and (but after tbe duplicate ia in tbe 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 properly 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 tho taxation of the year in which the buildings were erected or destioyed. The Auditor's nctiou in this matter is laid beCo{g.the County Boards, and they are governed by the ruies aoove stated, with this in addition: That they must aggregate the values of all new structures in the ct unty, and of all new cntridf 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 te all the valuations of real property in the county, soas to conform tothethinl, 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 ho may discover in the name of the owner, the locality, description or quantity of real estate on any return made to his office. 5. After the duplicate is mode up, errors discovered in it must be submitted in writing by the County Auditor to the Comptroller-General, and can be corrected only on the written order of the latter. 6. After the County Treasurer has received his duplicate, persons claiming to be erroneously or illegally charged with taxes, must declare the same in writing to the County Treasurer, who shall forward the complaint, with a full statement of facts, to the County Auditor. The latter officer shall submit the papers to the County Board of Equalisation for their endorsement, and then forward them to the Comptroller-General with his own remarks The foregoing construction of the laws will be observed by County Auditors and Treasurers. r Johnson Haoood.
