Mr. Editor
Dear Sir.
Seeing a piece in the News in
regard to the Four Wire Fence
Law it makes me feel that I
ought to say Something my self
as I am a farmer and know some- j
thing about a farmers life. I have i
always been opposed to the J
no fence law and this four wire |
fence is nothing but that. If it!
was left to the farmers of Wood- j
ruff County, I mean the renters
it would be like Cras Buchanan j i
hustling gentlemen of White
County, yes come back goose i
egged. I would just like to shake i
hands with every man in White
County that refused to sign 1
that petition. I can name one i
man that carried that petition ;
around that was opposed to the
four wire fence, he did not ask ]
me to sign it. I asked him why 5
he didn’t. He said he knew bet- ;
ter. Yes he did and it was wTell 1
he did too. I will never give a <
man a stick to crack my head.
I was out in Alabama not long »
ago, where they have the stock i
law. One of my father’s hogs got t
out. It was raining hard. My I
father yelled‘‘Save that hog boys (
if he gets out of sight, he will be 1
killed. They got w'et as dogs. Jj
They wanted me to help. I told ; 1
them I was from a free country, i
I And that I am mistaken. Weil
are almost in bondage. The Land j i
lord says, you c;*fcnot work my ■:
land, if you do not trade with me. j i
You must haul your cotton to a ;:
certain gin and now you will have' i
to keep up your hogs.
Dear Laud lord, permit us one 1
boon,vi£. the keeping of our:
wives, children and chickens.

Dear Editor:—
The first Class Rush
in the History of the University
of Arkansas oceured this morn
ing between the Seniors and j
Juniors.
When some twenty Juniors
made a rush to take the flag of
the Seniors, which had been
placed upon a telephone pole, on
the campus during Chapel exer
cizes.
Notwithstanding the fact
the Juniors made a noble ef
fort to pull it down, which was
a wrestle and tumble for over an
hour, not even a man wascerious
ly hurt, in fact only a few were
mad at the end of struggle.
The result was a holiday for
Juniors and Seniors and grand
receptions at night.
Some think the fraternity men
caused this rush merely to recon
cile the fraternity men and those
opposed to fraternities.
The Legislative Committee has
just returned to Little Rock
after an investigation of the Uni
versity. While the Legislative
Committee was here a Committee
from both sides, that is, those
opposed to and those in favor of
fraternities, were up before the
Legislative Committee and made
known their wishes concerning
the prohibiting of fraternities in
the University.
This Committee from the
Legitature consisted of nine men,
:>f this number five were opposed
to fraternities, three were on
neither side and one for fra
ternities.
The thing we want to see is
that the Legislature do her duty
n regard to the equal rights of
ill Students in this University.
A University supported by the
neople of Arkansas anda Univer
sity for the people of Arkansas
md not for an individual class
xiund together under fraternity
laths.
And if there is any one to whose
»ars this may chance to fall and
s concerned about a Univorsi
;y for the people and happen to
lave any influence in the present
General Assembly, then if they
vould help the people of Ark
insas, they should use it to the
jest advantage.
If the people of Arkansas wish
he fraternaties out of this U
uversity, while the Students do
say they ought to be out, then it
s for those in favor to say they
shall be out. Then, and not until
then can they be rooted out of
this Place of Learning, and then
her banner will be unfurled to
the world.
Yours
Grover MeCrory.
