J( > ti RJu'SPOX U EXC /;. FEMCE, OR MO FENCE. Opinions of The People. Sviibikk's .Mill, July 14, 1x77. Meesks-. KuituIis: As you allow the use; of your columns for discussion with regard l<? the ptuposed change in the existing IWiit law. i. is well thai litis manor should receive a thorough sifting before H i-^ submit-1 teJ lo a popular vote. The chief argument of the advocates ot the no-fence law is that to fence up slock instead of crops will prove a great saving ot, tituher and labor annually. If we have less fencing, we will have less stock, of course. Hut it is again argued that if we have less slock, we will have better. If stock are to be enclosed, they will of course require more, aud consequently belter, feeding. 1 "But this difficulty is to be luct, lltey say. by plantiug largely of small grain and grasses." Now, i would i?k?- to kuow how stock could be managed, even if grain was planted. Vour stock mu-d have the itin of these tields, as well as the run of jour eoru and pea fields which are cnelosed with them, or the pasturage which thoy nllbrd would be lost. For your stock to have the benefit of all this, the fields wotim have to j be feuced separately. Where i< the saving of timber hereNow, suppose the sfoek are feuced out with a good substantial fence, and some night there vouies up a storm and blows down your fence, and your stock get into your neighbor's field; why. as a matter of course, you tuust pay the damages. And, then, have you no enemies, who would turn out your siock at night to depredate upon your neighbor's crops, that you might be made to pay the damages1 h tve an idea, thosgh it may be a mistaken one, that the advocate* of the new fence law are those who have convenient c ine swamps to letic# tboir stock, and think it fair tliut others should do the same. As to cane! swamps, many of us live far away from Mteh advantages, and, in fact, a great many of us have not eveu a stream of water on our lauds. Finally, my opinion is that the proposed ( change in the fence law will engender a large amount of litigation, which would prove unprofitable to farmers and stock raisers. i think it hest for us to have fences, more of theoi and hotter ones. Yours truly, Nrst Skill. tVuuKX, S. i\. July Id, 1S77. | Messrs. KhiToits: lfy invitation in the columns of your judicious continuation sheet for aa expression of opinion un the tcuce law. 1 venture n few remarks touching the advisability wf our tanning community at least taking advantage of this wi<e act of our Legislature to reduce the lamentable tufleriug thai is yearly witnessed amongst the cattle of our country, i joe Mime the uiosl popular head under which to consider the subject would l.e in point ot dollars and cents: for although we, a a ? ,s>..si,li.niLI? .

Some of the t.euetits, to he derived front the aholilion <>t the fence law as now existing, cannot hut he deemed very great, and w> tilty of mo t serious consideration.

I ii >i locality well watered w it ii numerous streams, mid thegreater part of the land in cultivation, or enclosed with cultivated lands, leaving hut -mall range out idc for i grazing: in such localities it would undoiihi-1 edly be economical to fence the sloe!;. In other localities, where the land is in origi- i mil forest, or hut a small area cultivated I and the hind destitute of streams of water, pi rhaps it would be economical to fence the crops. Where the tenant y-iem prevails, j we find a great number of adjaeeui farms j cnclcscd hy the same lence, this sys tem lor- j bids or excludes the raising of stock, unless iIn* stock are enclosed in nnsturcs, to pre vent ilicm from depredating npvti tlie growing crop.

Their up posit i.ni ai'i-i-y In.in ignorance and jeal hiim?ignorance of the lisnetiis lliey would derive from a law compelling tlusr landlord to lei.ee his stork, and thus save thorn the expense i1' fencing their crops. Many ten nuts who own no live stock are heavily taxed in loiihlitig fences tn prevent their crops from heilig consumed hy other people' cattle: ftnd, strange it tuny appear, they arc' opposed to a law leijiiiring owners ot live slock to k'ei? litem oil their trips at their own cost.

Having been elected by my felio-.v-.fii! zetis to till the highly important and re-1 i sponsible office iii' County Schboi Cui.unis- 1 sinner for Kershaw County ami being 1 desirous ut making tin- system of i-'ree Schools therein, as at present organized and established, n* effective as possible in the accainplishnient of the beneticial; < objects for which it was dssigflld. 1 heart- 1 ily envoke the aid of County School Examiners and Trustees to assist me as far as they can in effecting the following changes in their operations; I feel it to be my conscientious duty to call the attention of the I'oard of County School Examiners to the necessity of being more rigid in their examinations and requirements of those who wish to teach. I am loo well acquainted with tin-fact that there arc porsois holding certificates as school teachers who are not possessed of the necessary mental or moral qualifications fur tin- office, and whose certificate should, in all sense of faithfulness, be revoked. .Again, there are pat lies holding 1 certificates for higher grades than they should, ought also to he corrected. 1 hope also to have ami hereby request (lie hearty co-operation of the various Hoards of School Trustees. In tlio exercise of of their public trust, thev should ignore friendship, party and family claims and necessities, and give ail a chance and opportunity to obtain the schools; they should go in for and select as teachers only such as are best qualified mentally and morally for tin* dignified position of instructors of youths, who are best able and will be more likely to confer the grentes' anl efficient benefits on those who are entrusted to them as scholars Teachers have heretofore been clussifivd <>r divided into their holding first grade certificate, -nd grade certitientc ami third grade certificate and have been paid in accordance with lite grade of certificate which they hoi J. say 1st grade teachers 2nd grade, irdi, an 1 third grade ?25 per month, sceotol and third grade teacher* teaching identically the same branches of study and one being only n little better ?|ttalifio*l to teach than the other, I think titc distinction between the two should be abolished and moreover that teachers should he paid, not according to the grade u!'certificate which they hold, lc.t according to I lie grade of the schools tlicy tench and the number of the scholars. If the higher branches of s. tidy mentioned in the 1st grade ceitiSculu are not taught iitves-arily tinl properly in any school which may he in charge of a teacher holding a first grade certificate hut only such branches as are mentioned in a second grade certificate, tlion 1 think such teacher should only be paid us a second grade teacher. His eomplttouttalitiealions as a first grade teacher not being put into exercise atttl used in teaching a il l grade school. Again, in i iew of the stringency of the times in money n alters, una me reduction >>i | ay in?> 11 or nruticnes of tho government, and reformation and economy in the expenditures of the public money generally, I think I lie |?:?y of Iesi?-h??r.-< should I?c ri'?liii'cJ likewise, ns follows: Teachers holding tir-t grade certificates ami leaching all ilie brunches mentioned in said certificates in their schools, iiiul having scholars should he paid nnd those holding -ltd grade certificate, and teaching necessarily ntnl properly in their schools, all the branches of study mentioned in their certificates, and having scholars, should he paid, say per iiioiiih. and 1 d i not know that I couid consist! nlly. with my notions of justice ami pl-opi i.M V. ami my sense ol duty to il i* public, approve their pay certificate for more than hire indicated in such c:lsc:). \V W. 0.\nrr.n.
