?a ?jifa Walch Suait lt > \ I '.ace tim Stuck or Peuce tb? Crops t >iTvn: In ?ho tUctission of this t question, there flhcmld bc no appeat to the passions or prejudices of | on? claw of onr community as arrayed against un other class. For instance, in somo quarters in the discussion of the practical question, a? to.which ia beat f.u-nll rlnc??a kal* M.nitniliitlu tn fr>u?'n rrj(t....-ft : J i - in or fence out tho stock, the attempt JJ* sedulously made lo array the tenant against the landlord, as though their in* lerests were antagonistic. No greater mistake could possibly be made than that. The interests of all tho cultivators of ibo soil, whether laborer or employer, are so intimately allied and in perfect sympathy on this and all other questions pm taming to the agricultural interests of | tho country, that tko man who attempts to array one class against tho other only betrays his own ignorance. So far as the present question of fence or no fence ia concerned, to show that there is no diverhity of interest*, as between tho tenant and landlord, but only a diversity of views as to what would be for tue best for both classes, it ia only necessary to note tho fact that in almost every neigh borhood some of the strongest opponents of the proposed chango are tho largest land-holdera, whilo on tho other hand many of the most intelligent renter? arc taking aides in favor of it. On this ques tion of fence or no fence, whatever poll I cy is best for the landlord ia beat for the tenant, .".nd vice vena. Neither cnn any political party aspect bc attached to the question, for two years ago tho Republi cana submitted the question to the voters of Anderson, und afterwards incorpora ted tho ndo; 'ion of the proposed change 1 in thc fenix law as n plank in their plat form of principle;) for the campaign ojf Inst fall, ^o, on tho other hand, tho Democrats, when they succeeded to pow er, deemed thia question of so much im portance agriculturally that they havo submitted the question to tho decision of tho people of tho wholo State by town ships and counties. And it ia wot! that it is so. It ia no jto'itical question ; it ia no propoacd clara legialation. It ia sim ply and purely an agricultural qucatioii, affecting aliko th? interests of all con- ! corned in agriculture ; abd aa auch tho j discussion of tho question should be en tered into with calmness, with no bitter ness, or acrimony, or party or cl asa spirit, but simply with a sln?ero deairo to reach a frvorable conclusion, looking to tho removal of every bindrauco posaiblo to the resuscitation and rejuvenation of the agricultural interests of our State. And theu, again, it is argued by somo that it would have been far better to havo made the proposed chango a matter of State policy, and not have authorized ita adoption by townships and counties. Thia, I think, ia a mistake. Tboro are Borne counties, not only in tho mountain ous regions, but ?IBO along tho coast lines, whose extensive grazing lands af ft) Til i nor an flhlltulnnl mmnlu nf nmirtut,. "-,- .4 ?.-?> - ing grasse, nearly tho wholo year round for large numbera of cattle and sheep, would make tho establishment of a gen eral stock law very onerous and deleteri ous to them. And whilo such a law as ia proposed might meet exactly the ne cessities of A large majority of the coun ties, of the State, it would not bo tho desire of those counties to oppress or injuro unnecessarily any portion of tho people of our State.- Hence, tho man ner in which tho question has boon sub mitted te the people by tho loci Legisla ture is the fairest and h?*t, all things considered, that could have been devised. That somo inconvenience will bo expe rienced by people living along the '.own ship, county or State linea there is no doubt. Hence, to diminish that incon venience as much aa posaiblo, it would bo better for tho pcoplo of Anderson, for ? instance, to carry tho wholo county for tho proposed chango, by carrying a mn joHty of the , townships, And, besides, li *r ft?iw probable that irsz??nlr.?r.cr townships aiong tho Picken.', ii no can be carried for tho proposod chango, especi ally if it were known that the County. Commissioners of Anderson weald unite . with those townships in building a joint line of fence along their borders, thereby dispensing with tho expenso of building a Uno of fence eu ibo County lino. That such a fair proposition would meet with favor by our County Commissioners, there 091 be not a partido of doubt. With those preliminary, remarks, wo will now proceed to discuss tho practical operation of -o proposed change in our present force law/ sad to show, ?a wo believe we can, that our present condi tion as a farming pooplo makes it to our interest to fence tho stock and not the It is quite evident, and needs no argu ment to prove tho proposition, that whon j tho present fencoi law was enacted requir ing farmers to fonc? their crops instead of stock, tho condition bf our country, and thc interests of our people agricul- J turaliy, were exactly the reveno In every material aspect of our present condition. Io the early: settlement of our country, when the present fence law was enacted, >vftaii ann timoor janos were superabun dant hence, there was no pressing' ne* cessity for aggregating the great savlug of cost in Umber and labor between f?Tic-1 ing tu and fencing out the stock. Be sides, these iliimitablo forest lands, espe cially along our water course*, were covered all over with a luxuriant growth of cane ?nd grasses fey the support of j out-running cattle,' and tho noble fores? Crem yielded annually their immense 1 ^.cpa of nuts for the growth, without J expense to tho owner, of largo number? ! of hog** And then, again, those large boundaries cf outlying forest sud grazing ! lands were vacant lands owned by the I aovornment cud held foi' the benefit of j ads. Henas. li then 4 of eur. j farmers at that ' our history ta fonce the tho stock. We have been sur older citizens that at >d of our history a fermer iRj$r#^d?oVs?<t? horses j rop by &!ten}*^--*4ough-J ls ?nd thou bolling them i em out to *raae. So with for another year was to establish ; i , , ???iwh?R a?. ?nrg?, an? jenica lina nacenefi ?ti the whiter from the masts of tho trees. That under eu eh circumstances, and with such condition:*, it was natural and con sistent with the best interests of our forefathers to enact just such a fonco law as now stauds on our statute books is quito apparent. But it nover entered their minds that because they enacted tho law under certain condition* that it was to be perpetuated upon their chil dren, to their great dot riment, under an entirely different condition of things. Compare tho condition of the country now with that just described, and could anything be imagined moro entirely different? Our forest lands have been cut down and cleared in a reckless man ner, until now about four out of six cf all the plantations are HO denuded of rail timber that if, unhappily, any ono of them or any community should be Kn un fortunate as to have their fence* entirely destroyed by fire, there is not timber enough left to re-fence tho cien: cd lands, and afford a reasonable reserve for re pairs, fuel, building purposes, ?cc. This may bo said to be an improbable contin gency, but we know that in many por tions of the North and West such a calamity bas swept over largo belts of country even within the last few mo!.tbs, leaving nothing bnt desolation, and ruin in its track. We assume, nnd think common ob*orvation wi!! establish thc assumption, that not more than ons fourth or one-fifth of all the arable lands in our County aro standing in their na tivo forest growth, and even these natu ral forests have been so culled and denu ded of their best trees for rails and building purposes that tliero is hut little left that can bo properly used for these valuable purposes. As un evidence, we know of acaso in au adjoining neighbor hood where a man wanted tv.o hundred rails made, nnd thc timber was so wretch edly bad that for a while he could find no one who would undertake t lie job ; bul at last a man who was in absoluto need of bread agreed to split tho number ol rails required. Ho told us iftcrwordi that the work was so hard, owing to thc bad timber, that thc two day?' work had almost disabled him. Ho wore out twe mauls in the job. Bo it is in nlmusi cvory neighborhood. Wo lay down tin broad proposition that tho scarcity o timber ?B BO great on most nf our farm! that the adoption nf tho "no lonou" lar is an absolute necessity. Tho remaininj forests that aro still left to tho farmert? o Anderson County should bo sacredly preserved for themselves and for theil posterity as a legacy, richer far than tin gold mines of California. Secondly, c tho >coro of economy o labor, wo lay down the broad propo3?tior that every man interested in agriculture eithor as laborer or empioyor. should vot< to fonce tho Btock nnd not the crops a: tho fairest, tho cheapest and most satis factory to everybody. Cr.n any proposi tion be fairer than to make every mat tako caro of bia own ? What right hm one man to tax bin neighbor with thi care of his stock, and that, too, nt : uSEVy ?nu n?ifc?a??iiu'iu expense? Nom whatever. Then, on tho scoro of econo ! my of labor we lay down the proposilioi that every laboring man, if ho cousult his own interests, will vote for the "n< fenco" law. And right hero we aro me with tho objection : adopt thia le?? nm tho renter can own no stock, becnuod h owns no land upon which to pasture the stock. In ninety-niuo cases out . of hundred his condition, so far as Btock 1 concerned, is just tho same now undc ! the present law. an it will be under th i proposed chango. Indeed, his righi would be bettor secured under tho prc ! posed law than under tho present om ?'Aa tho matter now stands, if he owe Btock at all ho pastures them, if nt al on other people's lands. And it is at th option of the land-holder whether he 1 permitted io own any stock at all, excej such as ho can pen or enclose. We b< Hove os a general rule that restrictiot are already imposed in regard to tl number of cattlo or hogs which the ?ci ter is aller ~1 ts bring or. the p?c-iu?aeq. tho landlord. Under tho proposed la tho rentor h eecured in tho rip.ht to ou and bring on tho premises of any ian lord living in a locality where said la has been adopted as mri ay os two bet of cattle to each field hand. This is ac ply sufiiciont, and ?3 more than a lnrj majority cf tho renters really seed. Ii ''sed, if thoro had U.en no provision i tho proposed law on the subject ot al the interests of tho renter would ha* been abundantly protected on tho seo of reciprocity of interests. It is ai wa; to the interest of tho landlord to provii in every possibio way for tho ncccssitl and convenience of his employees, j so doing he secures a belter class of re 1?re, and can keep them after ho gc them. There has been no law requirii the landlord to provide a home, gaid or truck patch for each family of rente and yet it bas become the universal ci tom, bccfiiMO tho interests of both pi tie? arc enhanced thereby. So will it in this]?afe?.1 The ampler tho provis! made by tho landlotd for tho comfort a convenience of the employee tba m will ?hat ^employee heroine attached him and bis IntareaU. W* IKA.^ back to * jj? beginning of this branch oaf argument, and tay down tho gene proposition that tho interests of tho n tor would be advanced by the adoption the proposed law in the saving and ca ?my of labor. In some way or other I crop of the renter must bo sect) red agai th* depredations of stock. How can t j *s ? most cheaply done, looking to the X /eats of canh indi vidual renter? 1 M ur. and bells ve wo can provo it, by j .doption of th?

YV?'?? custatj us, that Average d ttkS^ffivBo -t? ?ve head cattle, sud about tho same number heiga, frill cover the stock' iu trade ninety-out of every hundred of our i tera.- Al e thea, again, wa assume ( an allowance of fifteen acres for ? ?r.? fir? for cotton, for hoed crops, about fifteen acre? for amati grain, n log,thirty-fire acres all told; bj al what each bead of d family will (rori tho horse. Noir, we, put,t^e questioj each one : Which is the cheapest for j to put your thirty-five .icrcs tlu'.t you wish io. cultivate under o gflOij tmd lawful ?Gr t*5<3c fj$??j? tfireVhead.of caltlo, or evon more, os allowed by law. and your fair bogs? f i*o acres, wc take it, would bo ample pasturaba fe the number of stock specified ; so thai on scoro of economy of labor, you would by that singlo operation save thc fencing of thirty ncr..-? of land. And then yo. r stock would do better, and ni ways be at your call where you could see nftci them and provide for them in case of sickuesa or otherwise. On the other baud, if you decide to fence in your thirty-five acres of land, and turu your few bead of cattlo and hogs to roam at largo in a barren range, they derivo no advantage from thia extensivo range, which they would not moro surely obtain in your enclosed pasture. There is nov/ no outside rouge that ia worth tho name. Tho broom* aedgo ia thc only inducement, and that in a general range where everybody's cattle brouee, and under our parched Bummer BUDS, soon become di ; and un nutritious. Then, ngain, in the full of tho year the half-atarvcd cattlo ano bog? roam around thc fields, and if they lind a single broken panel of fence, in they go, to bo dogged and perhaps killed by those who will not veto for the law, bul who practically have "no fence." Any fence less than a lawful fence ix, undei tho present law, no fenco at all ; and thcs< people, many of them, ?com to glory ir their 'mill-fenced farms, and whose on h protection in thc fall of the year for theil ripened crops ia a pack of hungry curs who will in a few minutes tear, and maim and sometimes destroy, their neighbors Block that unluckily make a brea! through or over a rotten and low fence Then, on tho score of good neighborship vote for tho "no fence" law. Aa matter now aland, ibero ia virtually rio protcc lion to tho landlord or tenant, dither, fo their ripened crops, after a .turd sum mer'a work. There ia not n dozen farm in tho County oncloscd with a lawfn fenco ; hence, in thc eyca of tho law, les than a lawful fence is no fence nt all. I your neighbors' ?tock commit depreda tiona on your crop, yoi. have no retires but to stand guard with dog and gur and then you would be liable in an actio at law for any damage done to tho ?toe under such circumstances. So, if yo wish to preserve neighborly and goo feeling in thc community, vote for ever man to bo responsible for bia own wtod Ho need not necessarily remove any o his outside fences, na many farinera hav a Sufficiency of inside ones to enclos postures for his own and his renter stock. Cou anything bc more mod?r?t or reosonablo than auch n proposition There is but ono serious o bj ec'ion to th proposed change in the fence .'?w w that ia the wont of good running wate on many of our ridgo farina. Rut it is notable fact that on most of our highes ridgo landi there aro deprcssiona and lc wet places, v/hich, in the winter an spring, ia abundantly supplied with ro> water, and for tho dry summer monti mallow and cheap wells could be coi itructed at a very little ?oat, whorevi needed. To tho landlord wc will say a fe words, aud then bring thia communie lion to a close. Why should tho ian holder opposo tho "no fence" law, some of thom aro now doing? Ono w tay, "I have plenty of timber tn last f my generation, nnd let posterity look o for itself." This principle has had fi Bway long enough for tho past hundr years of our cxiatence, and surely I ruined, .'-Tarred and gutted fields, t destruction of for?ats and forest timi tlurlog thst tiffie is enough to causo ? thoughtful mau to stand appalled, tho samo or a aimilar policy is to bo pi med for anther hundred years, not forest tree wi be left to tell tho sad U }f reckless destruction, and ghastly a forsaken old fields will greet us avery side. What a patrimony to lea Lo oiir posterity! Let UH "right-abo Taco 1" and spend tho next hundred ye in endeavoring to repair tho waste o destruction of tho last hundred. Let husband and preserve our for?ats a forest trees, for ornament, for health, fertility, for comfort along the ways and around our dwellings, and our cl drcu will rise up and call ua blcs? ?upposo you have enough timber yourself and children, thu greater reason why you should unite with y more unforiunate t ?hbors in a pol ibsolutoly indispensable to them, loing so you moko no sacrifices whato Tor having an abundance of timber : jan fenco up your stock without tear lown the fencer around your fields, rou arc not disposed to do so.

T. II. B. GRANGE ITEMS. MAUTKK'H OFFICE, STATE GRANGE, CHAPPELI/H DEPOT, NEWDBRBY, H. C. it is not required that a Tomona shall be in possession of its charter before it goes to work ; it can work as soon as organized, by election and installation of officers. Any member of Htate Grange, who has taken the fifth degree, can in stull officers of Pomona. The second quarter is now cnued, and all Masters and Secretaries of subordi nate and Pomona Granges arc earnestly urged and reminded to make their quar terly reports, promptly and fully, in order that thc affaira of the order may be systematically arranged and attended to. At the summer meeting of the State Grange, at Anderson C. If., on the 8th of August, there will be essays read and discussed, publicly, on subjects of public interest, to develop thc opinion of thc people. The following Pomona Granges are charged with essays: Anderson, fence or stock law ; York, immigration; Richland, phosphates; (marleston, usu ry; Abbeville, railroad transportation; Laurens, labor; Orungcburg, life insu rance; ridgefield, co-operation. Euch Pomona Orange not named above is earnestly requested to prepare nu essay on nonie subject directly interesting to it and generally to thc people. Essays from individual Patrons are expected; e.rqt), fish culture, by Brother Thomas Woodward ; horticulture, by Brother E. M. Sims; bee culture, hy Brother A. P. Butler, ?Vc., <&c. These discussions ure not fur mere amusement, but to inaugu rate and fulfill one of the great purposes and objects of the order, f. e., to develop, shape ami direct the public opinion of the people in their unincorporated ca pacity on all subjects of public interest. Wo cannot cxpeet legislators to intuitive ly know what wo want, when we have not determined what we really want our selves. When each discussion is ended, the conclusions reached will bc taken as tho opinions of thc order, and every effort made to further and promote them. From the foregoing, it will be seen that this meeting will be of great interest and importance to not only the order, but the people and State, and all are cordially invited to attend. Anderson was chosen as thc place of meeting upon thc request and invitation of the romona Grange of that Countv, made and given by its Worthy Muster, W. W. Russell. Thc Pomo::.-. Grange of Anderson County has charge of all arrangements of grounds, buildings, reception of specimens, vis itors, ?c., &c. It is expected that the State and tho Anderson County Agricul tural Societies will meet at tho same time and place, of which each will give its own notice. The sisters of tiic order arc especially urged to attend this summer meeting, to bring specimens of all kinds, interesting or improving, ornamental or useful. They arc expected to prepare essays either on the working of the order or ur/,on subjects interesting to farmers' wives and daughters. Although almost of the meetings will bo open and public, still all members of thc order, and especially voting members of tho State Grange, will ho expected to be in regalia. Thc Stato Grange, nt its last meeting in February, ordered this meeting to bo bold for tho purposes indicated ; nud if every Patron in thc State will do his or hci duty, it will not only fulfill tho in tentions of tho State Grange, but be of great benefit to thc people and the coun try. To make tho "Grange Department" more interesting to tho sisters, they are. one and all. earnestly requested to send to the Master of State Grange contribu tions of either original or selected matter, to bo published m tho "Mutron's Col umn." Several sisters have promised to aid thg Master in UHR, and it is hoped their good example will be promptly fol lowed by many others. Tho sisters who aro officers of the State, Pomona and sub ordinate Granges should feel under pecu liar obligations to support this column. Every subordinate Grange in thc State should, as a Grunge, subscribe for the weekly Register, and have the Worthy Lecturer to read tho "Grunge Depart ment" in open Grunge, under "Sugges tions for the good of the order;" tuon tho Worthy Secretary should cither filo pap?is or put tho Grange column in a Bcrap-book for reference. From tho fre quency with which the same inquiries aro propounded to this office, it is conclu sive that either many who should do not rend this column, or do not preserve it for rofereucc, and consequently tho good it was intended to do is lost. There is no trade or bargain between thc Grange and thc Register, but its Orango depart ment is our organ, nn? for our own beno ni and interest il should be extensively read and subscribed to by the Patrons of tho State. Every Patron should have a scrap-book with each issue of the GraHge department pasted in it. Then he or she will not bc dependent upon tho monthly rending at the Grange and Iiis memory, but bavo the record at hand, in his house, at all times. JAMBS N. LIPSCOMB, M. S. G.

The terms arc understood to be satisfactory to General Leach, John N. Staples and Thomas B. Keogh, who arc attorneys for tho whisky and tobacco men of North Carolina. Thc terms will bc mado known as soon as tire formal ar rangements arc completed with thc at torneys. - Tho Iowa State Republican Conven tion on Wednesday presenta the anoma ly in our political history of tho first con vention ot th-, administration party under a new president refusing by a three fourths voto to indorse his policy, and greeting every rcferenco to it with pro tests and hisses. Tho hopo of tho party managers to have thc family quarrel set tled behind tho scenes, and everything kept quiet on the stage, proved delusive, and tho president waa anubbed in the moat offensive way. The State which gave him tho largest majority of any in the Union thus rebukes him for living up to tho very platform on which it helped elect him. The facts that most of the managing politicians of Iowa are either members or retainers of the Union Pacific railroad ring and followers of Blaine-like James F. Wilaon, General Dodge and Senator Allison-and that the displaced and defunct Gov. Packard of Louisiana was present at the convention, will help to account tho carnaKmind for these untoward results for tho Republi can party.
