Prices arc v higher than they used to be and they ? will continue to go higher. If you want land you will save money by 1 purchasing now. Tin: county Auditor has just sent out move than live hundred notices, c he states, to persons who have not paid their taxes. Every one who f can, should pay up promptly and 1 thus save trouble to the public off!- 0 eers. (i lr the town cannot afford the c means f r properly grading all the sidewalks in the town, why not pass an ordinance requiring each lot owner to grade the side walk in front of his property and keep it in proper repair? There are not many , who would oppose such a measure. It is a work that needs doing, and if a it cannot lie accomplished in one 11 way, it should lie in another. \r i- i ..i: ii.?? n.. r r 1 i * i ithu\ u i iia i i in' i i?i ii jitr> ui Horr.s county will stick to the home s tobacco nit rkct more this year than they have ever done before.

The farmers should want a ^ trood home market and should be ? willing to help all in their power t towards building it. * This town bus attained its pros \ ent rate of progress through tlie i esta1 lishm nt of new enterprises and industries. Its trade has increased, real estate has nearly doubled in valia I3ut what would be the result were s me of our present enter- j prises to fail? Things would fall < flat, if you will permit the expression. If we want a safe-guard to our I town, we must keep on bringing . capital here, establish factories and t mills. In this way only, can we in f sure the fn'.ure of Conway. 1 W f. have been asked several tii:v< * as to our opinion of what is ealii 1 the "no fence law," but for sever. ? reasons we prefer to let the papc ! remain neutral in the matter. We are no farmer, we own no farm and i - V therefore, wo are not interested from i any purely personal standpoint It is a tpi stion that vitally con- < cerns the farming people of the conn \ ty, and we prefer to let the farmers ^ alone in their opinions for or against ^ it. The el uigc would injure some } of our farmers, while some others 1 might be benefitted by it. The peo* } are d vi . but on which side the i majority i remains to be seen. s t ( Unconstitutional Exemption. < The i 'Oj ioof Horry are stirred ' l.tw.l < - 1 tilmw. i wuiie neai over tlio propo^it-on to fence the stock of the county instead of the crops, if wo are not mistaken Horry is the only county in the State where what is commonly -known as tlie "no fence law ' is not operative. The "Independent Iiopubiic" bears this (lis- : linclion at least. We are not in the least inter*st one way or the other in tin; agitation which is now going on in our sister county, yet we are unwilling to let the opportunity go by without expressing the firm conviction tbut under the interpretation of the (Constitution of 1895, deliver cd by ti e Supreme Court in every cause will) which it has had to pass upon, either the stock law is unconstitutional in that it does not apply witli the same elYect to every county of the St: 'o, or that portion of the law which exempts Horry from the provi dons of the law is so because the exemption is in direct conflict with subdivision xi of section 84, | artie'e iii of the Constitution, which , prohibi s special legislation.?Lexington Dispatch. j The above taken from the Lexington Dispatch states the true status of the matter and we have so given our opinion in those columns more ' than once , ^ ? /.

Nixonville Items. Health of the community is very food at present. The tobacco men are having fine easons for transplanting. About ill have finished. The corn crop is about, planted. Cotton p'anting is progressing. The iv cent frosts were somewhat infavorable for corn. The fruit rop seems to be holding its own o far. Capt. H. T.

Keep cool friend, the election day vill decide it. ( T. T. Thomas visited William Montgomery last Sunday at Sleretts swamp who has been very ill for ionic time. Our Sunday School is in a flourishng condition with about eighty on ,he roll witli more interest shown ,han ever before. C. Toylorsvillc Speaks. This year will see the largest to- ( mcco crop ever raised in this part ?f the county. The prospect for the crops is food. There if. a good deal being said ibout the stock law. I live within i,..^ ..01 t ?i ' 1 ? " um; HUM'S vi nil.' 11V ll'llt't' 1UTV ind 1 hope our people will vote igainst it. 1 do not think that more than 120 )cr cent of our land is cultivated )ur stock has the priviligo of the est. If we luve too much slock ind want none, then we should vote or it, for if the stock is to be coninod to the 120 per cent of cleared . ul for feed, some of the stock will p> by starvation. It is not good lense to give up SO per cent to keep rom fencing 20 per cent. I could have sold one thousand lobars worth of hogs last Fall, and ill the buyers came from Marion. They did not stand on prices. Think )f the quantities of hogs and cattle joing from llorrv to Marion every ,'ear. We have so much land that s fit for nothing but raising cattle. Borne one spoke of blue milk from /rass. I f the cow is to be confined 10 a small pasture, th~? milk will be >till bluer and less of it. I have seen pastures in Marion, with some attie in them, and noticed that the Dak leaves were all eaten up, and the /round as clean as a yard. Would the cows give good milk? W. If. Small. % Against the "No Fence." . As the time for voting on the stock law, either fence or no fence, is drawing nearer every day. and as i think from experience, it is a subject, that should be thoioughly von lilatcd so that the people can vote intelligently, I ask you space in your valuable paper to give to the, readers of tho IIf.rai.d mv views and experience. I lived in Marion county under the no fence law since it was in force in that county, and ! mv experience is that it will ruin any poor man or even a well to-do farmer. While it may benefit a few of the rich men, it will ruin the i masses A poor mar. with a few head of cattle and hogs can tnako manure enough to make his crop, but under the no fence law you cannot have this manure and will ho forced to use commercial fertilizers altogether. I a*k you to consider the matter well before you vote to throw down the fence, for I have : tried it and 1 know what I am talk ing about, therefore 1 hope you will roll up such a majority against it in < August that we will never be bothered with it again. N. S. - ? ? i. ii iii ?"?>. . Willow Spring. The farmers are about done planting. J. E. Dusenbury has his new ;1 welling about completed. Mr. Dusenbery is getting very LMiorgotic in histoid ago and has just put in his lirst tobacco crop. The warehouse men will have to lmv<> an <arly sale >.his season on iiccouut of the early planters. J. W. Edwards and family are visiting in Salivunts Kerry. We have a nourishing, ever-green Sunday School urder the supervision of J. l\ Johnson and J. \V. Edwards, two very enterprising, go* ahead men. Jake William's saw mill has added much to this place and you can hear the sound of hammer and saw al most every day. Mr. Harmon and family and Mr. 1 tiehardson are occupying the farm and residence of S. T. Sessions. We welcome them to our midst. Now, for the Stock law. I used to live near the Marion line and 1 know t. l?;it J am talking about. We have no use for it in this county and wo arc not going to have it. 1 am ready to canvass the county against it, but I don't think it is necessary, for the most of us arc poor men and have more or less stock in the woods. A peddler stopped at nty house once for dinner and he said that lie saw more meat on my table at one time than he saw in Marion county in a week. Of course it was hog killing time and ho struck it rich, as the editor did when he canvassed the county in green pea time. The writer at J notice don't know what he is talking about, and I hope the people will not i>e fooled l>v his ignorance. There was a slock buyer through here last Kail who said lie had left aver $-1000 in cash in this County for attic. Had we had the "no fence" law this could not have been so. Voter. Gnlivnnts Perry News. The "no fence" law and what is to be done about it? Some say let it come, but 1 am afraid they have > not weighed the matter as they should. Just go over into Marion, you who want the stock law, and see ' how the poor old cows have to stand tied out in the hot sun day after day not getting half enough to cat, : win to our rows are least ing on the green grass, as God intended they should do. It seems like a sin for us to shut up our stoek and half perish them to death, while there is so much woods land. "Ilorry friend" will gladly pasture his stock if scmo one will fix a plan to keep other stoek out of his iield. He can wait patiently until the farmers at Daisy get through planting and perhaps he can get his ' fence made high enough to keep out his neighbor's stock. Why ar? so many of the people coming from Marion county to Horry? Simply to get away from this law There has been right much sickness in this section recently Row I. N. Stone preached a very i impressive sermon at/don on Easter Sunday. Hot us hear from all parts J of the county concerning the stock I law. Now is the time to speak or 1 hereafter we aught to hold our' peace. Rambler. As It Is In Dialect. (Ry request.)
