THE FfiSCfi QUESTION
Editor Orangtbury Times:
I hope I wont tire your forbearing
patience, or your renders. As I start
ed out in vindication of my own
rights, and that of the people on the
fence question, 1 do not intend to
surrender or forfeit my position. As
long as any one advocates such a rad
jeal anil ruinous principle as to pass
a no fence system, he may expect to
hear from mo. My platform is broad
enough IbralJ^ mn\ will be well repre
sented when tested on the fenceques
tion, and J have a key note for all op
ponents. nS<? Mr. Ktlitor, I beg leave
to handle Tooth (rick, and put him in
some shape. A Tooth pick too thin,
or too blunt, or wry pointed, is of lit
tle service to any orte; and the first
defect I notice in Tooth pick is that
he is too thin; hu misrepresents our
worthy rcprcscniitive, Dr. Summers,
by -ttssortiMg that he called on the far
mers to discuss the n?-fcncv question
Now for Tooth pick's benefit I will re
fresh his memory, as to what Dr.
Summers said and what the papers
said for him, at the same time to let
Tooth {tick know that Watch is in
better condition than he imagines.
The call was for real estate owacts to
discuss the question, as be thought
there would be an effort made this
fall by petitions to Urn General As
sembly to have the law passed for the
greater part, if not for the entire Conti
t^y. That, was why 1 fleiv off the. Hugos,
for i considered it a r uostion that all
were equally interested in.
Some are silly enough to make our
fore fathers out as numbskulls' and
idiots by saying tliej had old fogy
notions and carried a stone iti one end
of their mill bags for balance. 1 im
agine the other cud contained home
raised corn, ami when they wanted
bacon and lard I guess they found it
in their smoke houses, free from (lie
merchants lien, ami if our legislature
would t urn a deaf ear to party and
favoritism and give us a wholesome
law that would apply to all alike, re
putt ing every farmer to keep bis crop
under a good fence, we would thon
turn back tout he practice of our foviY
fathers, and, instead of depending on
the western market for our bacon and
corn, it would be raised at hone, i
cn a tend that stock can be raised in 1
this country to advantage in many
respects and save money in the pock
ets of the farmer. For instance, you
can have your lots well littered, a lit
fie lime and salt at hand to scatter
over your litter and tramped by your .
hide bound bound stock, rake and
pile every two months and replenish
your lots when needed and you would
have less fertilizers to pay for in the
fall, and occasionally you would have
a fat beef to kill, the hide cd* which
would serve you wi h shoes. The
same attention paid to hogs would
furnish you with bacon enough for
your own use and some to spare.
Though stock needs attention. Von
might as well imagine a locomotive
could run without lire aud water as
to believe :i cow could fatten on chew
ing of her cud alone. There has been
a great (leal said about raising stock
to advantage in pastures. Why is it
so? Becauseattention is given them
and the rogues can get their meat in
the woods with less risk of detection.
But adopt the no-fence system uiiii
it will exclude so many from pastures
that starvation will force many rogue.-,
on us and the midnight prowler will
he as familiar with you.1 pastures as
you are, and when you realize that
you are raising stock for the rogues
you will abandon the idea of raising
altogether, and just what you w mhl
adopt your neighbors would also,
and the price you have paid for liny
this year will give you a faint idea pi
what bacon would be, if there were no
stock raised in the state. The no
fence system would keep immigrants
back, and our labor wou.d be confined
to, and monopolized by the large real
estate owners. After they got as many
hands as they wanted, they would
rent the remainder of their lands to
the trash gang and hominy caters,
iml the small farmers would have to
?do without labor, for it is human na
ture lor a mail to invest his money in
the safest manner he can, and the
! binds would be sought after as a safe
investment and would bo good until
Jod Vailed upon the earth to give up
its dead, and not until then would
they lose their titles. When immi
grants start out for a country, it is
wit Ii the hope of getting a home.
Gould they get one here'/ 1 say nev
er, nevei under a no fence syst em.
And as 1 said before, there are two
sides to a picture, and the citizens
of Orangeburg County had better
open their eyes and think a little for
themselves and not rely too much on
what Generals, Colonels, Majors and
Doctors, with due respect to these
gentlemen, have to say on the fence
question. Tooth-pick guessed right
when he said I lived on some swamp.
If he will conic up antl condescend
to partake of the hospitalities of ah
humble farmer in n log cabin, 1 will
take pleasure in giving him <t day or
two of ?poVt, catching red-breast
pcrcg and rock-lish out of the waters
of South Edisto, feed him on milk
and fresh country butter, tlt?t ts far
superior to the gilt-edge .go-hen but
ter iu !* thtvor,?and strange to say,
nevertheless, it is true, I never give
my cows as much as shucks, as na
ture has provided for them, for the
canes v'are so thick that when a cow
gets into them she never get, out until
she eats her way through, and 1 will
guarantee lie will return home a wiser
and better man after I lu?.ve r it bed tltu
nonsensical lumps and knots oil'of
his cranium. His brain then would
act more with the honest dictates of
his heart niftier a free and a full con
viction. that the no fence system
would'hot suit his people.
Is thus uot a blessing for a poor
man? (Jan you blame me for being
in favor of,a* fence system? Tooth
pick lifts made a powerful grinning I
face over the old nils that our fore
fathers traveled, wants to hlaxea now
road though.. I prefer to go round?
I have trieil these cut-oils and found
them further, and often had to turn
backv Tooth-pick's cattle must he
of a small breed, or the buzzards of
enormous size wheil one can sail
around the.inoon with a full grown
ww i? its claws and a yearling in its
boak.to balance him. I would tub
vise Tooth-pick to cross his stock.
Or leed on strichuihe,: for 1 know it
is a flg^t-rending sight to a lover of
milk; ami butter to see his hist till Ik
cow sailing in the elements under the
wings Of a buzzard. From all ap
pearances Tooth-pick's logic- on the
no fence system, as far as he has
goncj indicates that he is a gentle
man of sonic intelligence, and should
know>lietter than to try to force such
logio as his on the minds of a free
' people, and while I tun obliged to him
lor the" liberal oiler of sixty cents
from ;h is no fence friends, yet 1 think
thcywfiad better keep their spare
chanir^. to have rails split to repair
rtJttctV.^dovVn fences that have been
negrce&d-by theni waiting for the no
fe ice system; and long may you look
for it lie vor to be realized in your day.
tbr the voice of the people will rule.
So Mr. Tooth-pick, 1 won't have any
ail vantage of you in death, if you arc
able to pay for the rail splitting.
You shall haw- your grave encircled
with a ten rail fein ?', staked and
ri.l r 1, with a on 1 ! a pine growing
at your head t<? shauc that sacred
spot to remind Von, when the mast is
falling, in one hundred years to come
that people still use the maul and
wedge t hat you now condemn.

Composure is very often the high
est result of strength. Did we never
seen man receive n flagrant insult,
and only grow a little pale, and then
reply quietly? That was a inn n spir
itually stn.ng. Or did we never sec
a man in anguish stand, as if carved
out of solid rock, mastering himself?
or one bearing n hopeless daily trial,
remain silent, and never toll the world
what it was that cankered his home
peace? That is strength. He who
with strong passions remains chaste;
he who, keenly sensitive, with manly
power of indignation In him, can be
provoked and yet refrain himself, and
forgive: these arc strong men, spirit
ual heroes.

A SIGNIFICANT SSTOItV.
A wealthy banker inoueof our
large cities, who is noted for his large
subscriptions to charities, and for his
kindly habits of private benevolence.
Was vailed ou by his pastor one even
ing and asked to go with him to the
help of a man who had attempted su
icide.
They found the man in a wretch
ed house, in an alley not far from the
bankers dwelling. The front room was
a cobblers shop; behind it. on a mis
erable bed in the kitchen, lay the
poor shoemaker with a gaping gash
in his throat, while his wife and
children wore gathered around hi in.
"We have bieh without food for a
day," said the woman, when he re
turned. 'It's not my husband's fault.'
He is a hard-working, sober man.
But lie could neither get work nor
pay for that which ho had already
done. To day he went tbr Ibe last
time to collect a debt due him by a
rich family, but the gentleman waa
not at home. My hUsbaudWas weak
from fasting, and seeing us starving
drove him mad. So it ended that
way," turning to the fainting motion
less figure on the bed.
The banker, having fed and warm
ed the family, hurried home, opened
his desk ami took out a file of little
bills. All his large debts were prompt
ly met quarterly, but he was apt to
be careless about the accounts for
milk, bread, etc., because they were
so petly. ,
lie found there a bill of Michael
Good low's for repairing children's
shoes, $10. Michael Goodlow was
the suicide. It was the banker's un
paid debt which brought thoae.pGO
ple to ? ttierverge xyfttiu- gra^e;"! anilr
drove this man to desperation, while
at the very time, the banker bad
been giving away thousands hi char
ity.
The cobbler recovered, and will
never need a friend while the banker
lives, nor will a small unpaid bill
ever again be found on the banker's
table. ?
No man has a right to be generous
until hi < i el) sn e paid: and the most
efilicient use of money is not alone
in almsgiving, but to pay liberally
and promptly the people whom we
employ.
A WITTY JWKS0S?
A Scotch clergyman by the name
of Watty Morrison entreated an offi
cer to pardon a poor soldier for some
offence he had committed. The olli
eer agreed to do so if he would in
turn grant him the first favor he
should ask. Mr. Morrison agreed to
this. In a day or two the Ollicer de
manded that the ceremony of bap
tism be performed on a puppy. The
clergyman agreed to it; and a party
of many gentlemen assembled to wit
ness the novel baptism. The parson
desired the ollicer to hold up the pup
py, as was customary in the baptism
of children, and said: ?
. "As I am a minister of the Church
of Scotland, I must proceed accord
ing to the ceremonies of the church.
Well, then. Major, I begin by the usu
ill question: You acknowledge your
self the father of this puppy?"
A roar of laughter burst from the
crowd; the ofliecr threw the candi
date for baptism away, and thus the
witty minister turned the laugh
against the infidel who intended to
deride the sacred ordinance.
RICH WITHOUT MONEY.
Many a man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in
their pocket, and thousands without
even a pocket, are rich. A man with
a good sound constitution, a good
stomach, a good heart and good
limbs, ami a pretty good head-piece
is .rich. Good bones are better than
gold; tough muscles than silver; and
nerves that Hash fire and carry energy
to every function, ate better than
hon- os and lands.
Jt is better than n landed estate to
have had a t ight kind of a fatner and
mother. Good breeds and bad breeds
exist among men as really as among
herds and horses. Education may
do much to check evil tendencies, or
to develop good ones; but it is a great
thing to inherit the right proportion
ff faculties to Rtnt't with.
The man is rich w ho has a good
disposition?who is naturally kind,
patient, cheerful, hopeful, and who
has a IIa vor of wit and fwu in his com
position. The hardest thing to got
along with In this life is a man's own
self. A cross, silfiah fellow, a de
sponding and complaining fellow, a
timid, earc-burdched man?these are
all born deformed on the Intddc. Their
feet may not limp, but their thought*
do.
A CURIOUS CASK*
The following from the Greenville
NV*r.< shows a curious instance of nog
lijient legislation:
"Women have one right in South
Carolina not possessed by men. At
the present tcriri of court in Abbe
villo. a woman was arraigned for car
ryinga concealed weapon. Mr.Hurt
appeared ibr the defendant and ar
gued that this aet applied only to
men and not to women. That the
act itself expressly declares that any
person carrying a pistol, dirk, dagger
slingshot, metal k li tick lea, razors, or
other similar deadly weapons used
for the (u.fiiction of personal injury,
concealed aboutn? person, die, thus
clearly showing that the Legislature
had no reference, to women. The
Judge sustained Mr, Btirt in his po^
si tin u, saying that if the Legislature
had intended to include women, how1
etu?y it would have been to have add'
ed the words his or her or their per?
sons, but they, Hkc every body else,
considered women non-combatants,
and he held and instructed the jury
that the act applied to men only, and
that the women were not embraced
under it, and instructed the jury to
find the defendant not guilty.
OBITUARY*
Departed this life on the 1st of
June, Agnes E., infant daughter of
Andrew G., and Roachella Stroinnh,
aged one year and six months. "Suf

stand by the grave of the father and
his little daughter, who was snatch
ed from our midst by the hand of
Providence, but we must be consoled
that "He doeth all things well." As
a friend and citizen, his loss is irre

will miss him iu all the social circles
of life; and as a kind father nnd lov

of the Methodist-Church. He t ie I
on the 8th of June 1881, in the 43rd

large circle of relatives and friends

A NARROW ESCAPE.
EMUvr Or ingehurg Times :
While Messrs A. B. Parier nnd LT
M; Slilngler were going down to at
tend Chllrch In Charleston county, on
last Sunday ntoi'tilng, Mn Shlnglar's
horse took fright ntld rah into Mr.
Parlor's buggy, throwing Mr. Shiu
gler and the young lady whom be
wits driviiigout of his bUggy, unhurt,
and by the breaking out of Mr. Shin
gler's horse, Mr. Raider's took fright
and dashed off throwing hltnand two
of his friends out of his buggy. Two
of them were seriously hurt. "When
Mr. Parier fell out, ho carried the
lines with him and the other two
young men remained in the bugg}*,
until the horse ran about one hum
drei yards, before they fell. It is sup
posed thnt the lines got wrapped a
round the hub of the wheel, and by
one of the lines being wrapped short
er than the other, it retried the horse
up to the fence, and as it did bo, the
horse leaped Into the field carrying
the buggy with him. Very little dam
age was dohe to either of the buggies,
but on the whole it was a very narrow
