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.

Messrs. KhiToits: lfy invitation in the
columns of your judicious continuation
sheet for aa expression of opinion un the

as in justice to yourselves I presume ;
you intended we should he. in the discussion
ot the matter to limited space, I tnii-i
euJeuvor to touch only upon the most ii:t-;

of the farmers of our county. This st ,t?. .,| \

system respecting fences. Some of the

Apart from the pleasure which would he

there is no calculating I he source of prolit
arising from the necessity of <-<>11 tinin^r

(Irnci: Coi-xtv Sninu;, Co.MMi-'sioxr.n,
\:.n?i.N, S. July 17. 1S77.
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:).
