VOL. XXIX. WALTERBORO. S. C.. OCTOBER 10, 1906. In Roply to J, O. Ackinmnn. Editor Press tnd Stoddard: By a letter in The Press and Standard written by J B Ackerman, referring to the exemption of certain portions of Colleton county of the general stock law, Mr A' kermon desires to have the matter discussed and prop erly agiialed, so that our people can rote intelligently on the question, and further says that the exemption will be iinoonstitntitflaT, and hardly possible to carry out its m|iiirments, and bow will the fence be built First, 1 desire to say that we have been taught that a maiority rote should rule, and <k)ea rule in most oases. If we have a majority rote for exemption he next thing will be l bill framed and enacted into law that will provide for the building and repairing of line fences. Let all line fences be built of good wire, pig proof, tive feet high. Place a license tax on all live •tadc that ran at large within the ex emption, for the purpose of building and repairing said lence. Make this fence the property of the county, «nd supervised by the county board of commissioners, and further provide for every man that plants a crop «I any. kind within this exemption that he shall boild a good and sufficient fenceor suffer th^ penalty. In my way of seemg my township which is Howard, • and Lower Broxton don’t need stock law. (80) per osnt of the land in these townships is in the woods and its cheaper to fence tb« per cent that we plant, and pay a license tax on oar stock to bnild the line fence, than it will be to bnild private pastures. If we have stock law and expect to have otock law, we wil! be forced to build a great deal more fence. The present exemption law being unconstitutional, is no esonse for not having a bill that will stand the test in the courts., Other states have exemption laws that stands the test, and why not ws have it if we want it. Now let every man that loves bee r , and plenty of it, go ont to the polls in November and vote for the ex*mp tion. If no other portion of Colleton wants the exemption than Heyward. Bell and Lower Broxton township, I tm in favor of fencing even that por tion of the county. It will be to the interest,of the great majority of peo ple in these townships, and they will vote for it If some of the town ships, or portions of townships, now exempt by the present exemption law though it be unoonstitntional, want •tock enclosed in private pas tores, let them have the thing they want, and if a m. jority votes stock enclosed or no stock in Sheridan or Glover township or portion of township. Let them have what they want and let ns have whtt we want We will build the line fence, yon that stay out side of this exemption will have noth- to do with the expense of our pasture; neither will yonr stock graze within its borders. Now I am not opposed to my neighbors stock grazing on mv land if stock can run at large, bat I cant afford to build a private pasture on my land to graze bis stock, or my own stock. Too much territory re quired to support one cow fenced for it to pay. What we need is to sell the timber off of our land and buy wire fencing. It it cheaper in the long run. Pntthe greater portion of the land in our dbunty into cultiva* vation, well fenced, and we will be in shape for stock law that requires stock enclosed and not before. We must have plenty of open land, and sow pWbty of rye and barley for win ter and spring grazing, and plant plenty of peas, pindar8,chnfas, alfalfa, millet of every kind, and raise all thfe grass we can in oar field for summer and autaum grazing, and sow plenty of oats, and after the oats, sow cow peas for hay; dont forget to fertilise everything you plant with the proper kind of stuff. All of this essential to profitable or successful stock raising with stock enclosed. Now 1 don't think any of us are prepared lor the general stock l*w, and i think it would be better for as to continue the exemption law lor at least fifteen years yet The license tax on live stock that run at large is fair to every man. The man that owns the stock will have it to par or keep bis stock enclosed, and and every troo anti-stook law man is willing to pay it W C Brat Now This Is Ooo4. Bluffton, 8 C, Oct 4tb, *06.

At Birmingham, Ala., the leading ne groes have formed a society for ibe pre vention of criminality by negroes. This {s a step in the right direction.

PlonintifPs Attorneys. Oct 3, A D 1906, Senator Tillman opened the Lyceum Coarse ia Augusta Saturday night. He spoke to a large audience on the Race problem. The following is taken from The Augusta Chronicle :* Senator Tillman bad carefully prepar ed the followiug siateuieut of the race problem as he conoeivta it, and upon which he declers the south must act at once if terrible cousequ ences are to be averted: The white men of the south were never more united or more determined than they are now in the purpose te maintain white supremacy in each and every part of every soathern states regardless of negro majorities, and the thought of social equality is as intoler able or even more so than the idea of political equality. The two go hand in baud and eannot be separated. The negroes were never more interil on contesting In every way that they* dare this position of the whites. Their teachers, their preachers, their politici ans and every organisation which they have formed, one and all, are bent oa compelling a recognition by the whites of the rights given to the negroes by the 14th and 15th amendments; and is every practicable way the republican national, go-ernmeut ia giving aid and comfort ot this idea. Race hatred in every fjrm is grow ing in intensity with both races. Lynching for rape of white womern by negroes will continue as long as the crime is com mi ted and the fact that in many instanoea the guilty fiend ia not caught Intensifies the hatred of ue * whites toward the negro race and tends to precipitate race oonfiteta in which innocent and good negroes are too oftea the only sufferera. Amalgamation] is thshope^mfi *1* timate purpose of the negroes; the obliteration of the color line, and many white men, too many, oblivious to their duty to their race and caste, are volun tary criminals in this regard,’' while thank God, onr white women prefer death to soch a fate. In almost every community white men can be found brazenly living openly with colored women and nothing is aaid or done abont it. Wa must protect Onr woman at any and all hazards else they would spurn ns and ought to apnrn ns; and we must draw the line of caste between white men end w»ok women and starmy ouuipei us ubsei vacuce, jnss steridy as we are resolved to draw the line between blac* men amt whit) women 'I Idr fact that the negro ravish es the woman while rbe white man o-'lf lowers himself to graUty 40St WitL ;i willing negro woman as morality is conosnied, nakes toe only difference. The most essential and burning iasne with ns is how to prevent rape rattx r than try to avenge it. Lynching his failed; we moat try aomething else. As tne superior race we owe it to Car- selves to protect the good and innocent Urgro-s, of whom there are many—mil lions of them in fact—from false tea chers and bad leaders who are rapidly driving the white* to desperation and to the massacre of th4 negroes, and te a race war which can have only on« result, the destruction of the weaker race.
