The frequency of hail storms and
destruction front lightning during
the last year or two have been subjects
of remark. Some weeks after
a stroke of lightning last year bad
caused the burning of two livery
stables and one dwelling, another,
bolt struck a large oak tree, not
over fifty feet front the spot where
the livery stables caught on lire. It
is said that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place, but. the
say in# was almost falsified in this
instance. /Lightning struck trees
and telephone wires about town Jso
frequently last Summer that it was
noticed by everybody. We are un
able to explain all this of course.
The frequency cf hail storms this
Spring has been noticeable, but this
likewise is beyond explanation.
Wk arc told* that some farmers
have taken offense, because certain
nrt.foloR in ihi^ nnnm mi tin* tiiliin<*1
of the "no fence" law were not
signed by the true names of t he
writers of the articles. This arises
from lack of understanding the
custom of allowing a writer to use
an assumed name at the cr.d of his
article, provided always that his
true name is in the possession of
the editor of the paper. This is a
time honored priviligc which we do
not feel like denying to any one
The names of all those who have
written communications are in the <
office, and we can give them to all
who will go to the trouble of calling
and making enquiry. We cannot
lay down the rule that every one
who writes to the paper must sign
his true '-name to his article. Of
course we think it best for a writer
to sigjp his name, but yet this
is something that we must leave to
the good taste and judgment of the
writer himself.

James Bryan was here on bus

We are proud to see souie of th
\ people of tiie Gideon section titfhtinr
\ the "no fenoo"law.
\| One man who has a small farm i
\ near Gideon told me he had sold
\ about $75 worth of pork from the
\ woods and had hisyear's meat then
,\on hand. If the stock law should
come could a on horse farmer sell
$75 worth of pork?
Lets first have the new court
house and jail, then help the railroad
from Conway to Marion before
we vote for the stock law.
We feel much interested in a tobacco
market at Conway. Now is
ihn h mn tn mnl.-n if T.ofc ?i1l >n?>. I
ketour tobacco at Conway and build
us a market at home the equal of
any. The "no fence" law is the
last tiling we need.

her sister here the latter part
of the week.
W. P. Booth visited his parents
/ at Booth last Sunday. He reports
' chat N. J. Booth and G. W. Hardee
of that section have some of the
finest tobacco he has seen, averaging
about the leaves 20 inches in
length.
We have a letter from V. I). Lee
at Sumner, Ga., saying that the
report against him that he is in the
p ^>?4chain gang" is false. Mr. Lee was
ofece a citizen of this place and we
are glad to report it as false.
There will be a picnic at Good
Hope on Saturday June 13th, We
expect a large crowd. The Editor is
invited by the Sunday School and
? will be .expected to address the auV"H
dience on that day.
We think the man at Warn pee
who wants the "stock law" lives too
far from Marion to try to keep in
' line with it and that ho had better
not vote for it.

From Adrian.
Editor Herald.?The citizens of
Adrian are going to turn out in full
force on election day and cast their
ballots against the "no fence' law
and bury it so deep it will take it
fifty years to wake up and fifty
more to rise.
In answer to Mr. Spivey's ques
tiOu, whether it ought to come or
not, 1 will say no. If he wants to
pasture his slack 1 have no objec
tion. In regard to the Marion people
being so wise, 1 think wo have
in Horry, just as smart lawyers,
doctors, merchants and ministers.
1 would as soon risk their judgment
in regard to the law as the .Marion
people. There is certainly a wolf
in the "no fence" law. 1 atu satislied
that ninety l ine per cent of the
ministers, lawyers, doctors, mer
chants, tax payers and wise men
will turn out at the poles on election
day and help to kill the wolf.
I call on all my ministering broth
ron of all denominations, to meet at
the polls and lets help our brethren
keep the wolf out of the flock If
heontirs, our Independent Republic
is ruined and poverty and almost
starvation will enter the homes of
many, where the children now have
mi Ik to eat with their bread.
Fellow citizens, if vou love your
wives and children cast your ballots
against the law and let each pro
ciuct run this monster wolf from
their isidst. Let him not find shelter
in 1 lorry county.
J. P. Lent.am.
lie Wants it.
Editor Herald*? If the county
rejects l he stock law the poor man
is surely hurt. While you are split
tin# rails, if you could lie clearing
land for corn and potatoes for the
hegs and cat tie, you would have an |
abundance of milk and moat. Take)
a trip to Marion and lioar what the
farmers say about it. One writer I
said that fivo barbed wires wouldn't
turn stock. If so we need law to
keep them out of the fields. It is j
cheaper to fence the county line!
than ten thousand plantations 1
saw where a man paid taxes on -100
acres of land. If every farmer had
that quantity of swamp land in the
islands we would oppose the stock
law. Hut so few of them! If you
vote against the farmer, you arc for
the farmer holds up the world.
II. How km..
Another Opposed to It.
Editor Hkram>:? Something has
told me to use my influence in every
way 1 can against lite "no fence
law. 1 shall do all I can against
it in Simpson Creek township, where
1 have lived as a merchant. 1 have
held down prices and the people
have patronized me, while others
have tried and failed. So 1 feel that
I should do all the good I can to
the people.
We voted a railroad tax unoti us
! lias it not hurt us? Yes it has hurt
this township, as 1 have paid enough
tax to buy some two or three barrels
of pork. It lias not benefitted
any of us, but has cost the taxpayers
more or less every year and so
will the "no fence" law if you vote
it oil the county. We will have to
pay taxes for a fence between the
sister States, and if it costs as the
one between Horn and decreet own
did, it will run up to about $50,000.
We need this money for our farms.
If you vote against your neighbor,
you will vote against yourself, A
neighbor is one that helps others
when they can't help themselves. 1
am willing to help those that can't
help themselves and are trying to
do right 1 want all readers to con
sidcr the law a blow to I lorry county
and vote agaist it.

Not Good for Cnttle.
l? in to it llKitALi>:--So much being
said on the stock la .v question
brings back a thought that t amelinto
my mind while 1 was returning from
Conway on Salesday in February.
A short distance from town we
saw a drove of about 52 head of cattle,
going from this county to Maron
where they have the stock law.
icstion lilto this occurred to my
I ...Hid. If the stock law be such a
j good thing, why shouldta Marion
I county man come to Horrv to buv
cattle? I would answer because
they are-more plentiful and-chenpor.
Suppose we could see all the money
summed up that comes to this
county every year for her cattle.
It would be large. Hut we believe
if the stock law was forced upon
us, we would he deprived of the advantages
of supplying the demands
for our stock.
Some six or eight months ago, 1
was a little inclined, by my own
sclllsh motives, to believe that the
stock law would be beneficial to our
county, but after due consideration
and having the larger part of our
lands uncultivated and well timbered,
we believe it would he more detrimental
than beneficial to tne gen erality
of our people. 1 admit that
in some sections timber may he
scarce, hut to have the stock law
would not alter the case. How
could we give our hogs our potato
and peanut patches without keeping
up our fences as they now stand?
It seems to me that to enjoy these
T?ri vi hxrou ?rn ivnuld linvo In b/wm
I -ft--' ? ~ "vvl'
our fences as they now stand and
pastures too.
Some claim we could control labor
better, but we think it would drive
it away. Well says one, let it go
we can do without it. That is not
the point, we want the labor to stay
with us, we need it to dig our ditch
es, clear our lands and roll our logs.
The best that we can estimate there
are about thirty in this township
who will vote for the law. We be
leive the balance will roll up a large
majority against it.
"C" writing from here may be
leive now that we will have the
stock law in the near future, but
after August 1 think he will beleive
another way.

REPLY TO "VETERAN." 1
Mm
The Dispensary System n Lawj
of the Land and Should be
Upheld as Such.
Mk. Epitou:?I shall have to ask
you to spare me a portion of your
\alu.\blo space to reply to an aril- '
clo you published in the issue of
April lUh, written by "Veteran."
Every remark written by him is
unjust and deserves the severest
criticism, Uut if lie will allow me 1
will say no more than is necessary
to clear up matters IJy implication
from his remarks men can go to the
dispensary where it is now located,
get drunk, thereby break the law
of the country and not pay the pen
ally, and we infer that lie thinks
the people of Conway are very unjust
in wanting to bring the dispensary
to town that they uiav capture
the drunkard and force men to
pay the line. Let us examine this
and usee r tain the mean in# It
means that ho is at heart opposed
to both the law of God and man. God
puts the drunkard and the murderer
in the same boat by imposing
I the penalty of eternal punishment
on both.
I Thci. are the lawmakers of our
I land unjust in imposing a small line
on a man for netting drunk? The
trouble lies in men not looking on
drunkenness as it is and as God sees
it The man who lives and dies a
drunkard has committed a worse
i crime than the man who deliberate
ly killsanother, for lie, as to act only
i destroys the physical man for time
l while the man who dies a drunkard
destroys both the soul and body for
all eternity. This brother may de ny
thinking that God is unjust in
' he penalty of eternal punishment,
but if lie opposes the ^penalty imposed
by man which is naught as
compared to God's, he necessarily
opposes Gods punishment or he is
inconsistent with himself. If one is
just., the other is just. We know
God is just in doing so, then men
are. just in imposing a line, and to
oppose such a law is to oppose jus- (
lice and that is just what this brother
does, so far as his language teaches.
In short his principles set forth,
declare that he is opposed to anv
law lhut docs not meet his approval,
let it be the law of man or
(loci.
lie is correct in assorting that 1
must be after some reform, for it is
my heart's desire that men may see
matters as (Sod and all thinking
people see them, and that they may
rise to such high ideas us to do all
in their power to carry out both
ihe love of God ut.d man as far as it
is possible for them to do so. The
idea of opposing any law is danger- ;
cms. Example:?Not long since 1
was out at night and heard voices
some distance away. On approaching
1 found several plotting together
for the destruction of the dispensary,
and 1 informed them that I
would expose them if they did so.
Why was this? Simply because ,
they were opposed to the dispensa I
ry law, meaning that they had no
regard for any law they did not
approve. Meaning that if the principal
of this idea was carried out
we would have no law for there is
no law but what someone objects to,
and if one man had the right to de stroy
one law every other man would j
demand his right to obliterate the
law he disapproved, which in substance
would mean that each one I
thought he had the right to rule su i
prcmc. All men should remember I
. I... t .......... i : - ' ? - - 1
uuii i vri y i.vw is oruUMlCU Ol lioci
for every law is made by tho rulers
of a land and they are allowed of
God, then in opposing or breaking
any law you are opposing God and
disobeying His eonimand. ? Proof.
Romans lit, 1.
Relloct: The idea of destroying
the dispensary had its origin in rebelling
at the laws of our country,
and if carried out the principle
would lieen.se every man to destroy
anything he disapproved, which
would mean that both the life and
| property of every man would be in
danger of destruction.
Again reflect: This brother ob
jeets to men being lined for drunkenness?
upon the ground that it will
take the bread a no meat from his
wife and children to pay the penalty
which is equivalent to admitting
that such men spend their money
for whiskey instead of using such
funds to supply the wants of their
families. If so and he is allowed to
go without being lined he will take
the money that ho justly owes the
government and buy whiskey e
nougli to get drunk a dozen times
and disgrace his family ar.d perhaps
abuse them as often. Do not men
often strain at gnats and swallow
camels?
I could say much more of my
brother but as 1 do not like controversy
I will close with this if he will
allow me, but for fear of being
misunderstood I will 3tatc my position.
1. 1 believe that it is the duty
of every man to obey and respect
every law of his country until he
can at the ballot box honestly have
it repealed.
ii. 1 believe with all mvlinni't
the State of South Carolina us n
State is a criminal before God for
operating the dispensary, but in as
much us it is law, it is the duty of
every man in the State to do all he
can lawfully, us we can't rid ourselves
of it. to prevent its doing
harm, and the only way I sec to
do this is to locate it where all law
relating to its operations and rosuits
therefrom can bceairied out.
Thanking you before hand for
granting me space for this writ; 1
am,
Sincerely yours,
C. Robertson.
