The Four Wire
Fence Law.
i
We understand there is a move
ment. on foot to ask the legislature j
to pass a FOUR-WIRE FENCE LAW ;
for Woodruff County.
In the first place our “Forty i
Nine Day Johnson Grass Exten
sion7’ hasn’t time enough to cease j
from their delight, “chewing!
grass” to attend to anything else
except draw their salaries. With-1
out the per diem, you would nev-:
er have heard of an extension.
But now to the subject. I
did not sign the petition and
was told I was a politition. Then
I was tokl the majority of the peo-;
pie were in favor of it. Just think |
of it. The majority is in favor j
of it and I am a politition .Either |
1 am a fool or they are mistaken, j
They say it is for the interest of
the poor man and yet the wealthy
are its champions. If 1 were a
politition as accused, I would
saw wood and not antagonize
either faction. I am a freeman
and do not desire to be a hypo
crifc.
I am opposed to such a law, be-;
cause the meat trusts are behind ,
it. The packing houses get their
meat from the Land Lords of the
north and not the tenants; they j
sell it to the tenants of the. south, i
When this law is passed, the ten- j
ant must stop raising hogs alto- j
gether because the land lord j
won’t hardly let the tenant raise
enough corn to fatten them; what
about feeding them the year
around? Some counties in Ten
nessee passed this law in
obedience to the orders of the
packing houses, but several coun
ties have had the law repealed at
the first opportunity.
"Who are the immediate promo
ters of this law? The large land
owners, the wealthy class. Are
they able to keep up the fences?
If not, turn your land over to us
common fellows; we will keep up
the fence. They say no one but
land owners should have a say in
this. What is land worth without
the tenant? If the tenant is a ne
cessity to the land-lord, why
shouldn’t he have a say? Do you
seek to place us on a level with
mules?
They say, hogs will do better
in a pen. W7hat will he do in the
pep but starve? How about the
hog on the range?
They say his cows and horses
can run out. But the average
citizen owns neither horse nor
cow. There may be 100 tenants
in Woodruff county that own their
own horses and cows. There is
a mortgage or lien on nearly
all of them. Who has the mort
gage? The land lord or some
concern in which he is interested.
But hogs, sheep and geese are so
insignificant in value, that the
land lord doesn’t wish to be both
ered with them, consequently,
he seeks to make you put them
up.
If this law were passed, could
tenants rent land cheaper?Never.
Rents are going up instead of
down.
Is the land-lord benefited? Cer
tainly or else he would not advo
cate the measure. The land-lord
in many cases is a stock-holder
in some store or obtains a hand
outin someway for his patronage.
It will cost him less to fence the
lands; makes meat scarcer; his
hand-out at the store greater.
Because the tenant will be forced
to purchase more meat, being
virtually prohibited from raising
swine etc.
This may be a good law for
some countries but not for our
county at present. The day will
come when her lands are more
nearly ail in cultivation and then
we will consider the proposition
with more enthusiasm, but at
present, the poor man (and most
of us are poor men) is not bene
fited in the least but is in fact
made more a slave. My motto
has always been, ‘’Walk from
slavery to freedom; from the i'et

Augusta Hard to
Satisfy
- i
i
We noticed in last week’s j
Searcy Times that Cras Bucha-!
nan, Ex County Assessor, had j
been in White County with pe-;
titions and "secured three bust-;
ling gentlemen| to carry the pe
titition all through the Country
and to our surprise, they met
with more encouragement than j
we Anticipated; one of the gen
tlemen, the best hustler got t,wro j
signers, the other two came back
goose-egged.
Does that sound familiar? i
Well, we are not surprised at!
anything these days. Who says
the Augusta magnates are not
at the head of this? Ah! They
hear the doleful strikes of that
court-house clock day and night.
It is a continuous night-mare to
some of its inhabitants. We don’t
blame some for taking such fre
quent trips. They have the court
house but every sound eminating
from its dome makes them feel
like a thief with a costly diamond
in his possession. Enjoy this
elegant building? Never! The
Echoes from Bradford, White!
County, repeat never.
What object has Augusta?:
(When we say Augusta, we do
not mean the honest citizen,
whose heart aches at the con
tinuous ring rule of its affairs.)
In this very act, Augusta admits
that their is danger on the Poto
mac. For that reason she is
endeavoring to obtain more
territory on her west. For she
feels like a young fellow who
thinks it is necessary to part
his hair in the middle to balance
his brain. "‘The way of the* trans
gressor is hard.”
SSMl-OENTENIAL
— DINNER—
Last Thursday’ was the fiftieth
anniversary of W. C. Boyd’s ex
istanceon this planet.
The following named person
enjoyed the sumptuous feast:
Dr. and Mrs. G. B. Fakes, Mrs.
Dilliard, Mr. and Mrs. John
Phillips, Miss Arnold, Cora Phil
lips, Mr. and Mrs. Weems and
the writer. Never was pig bet
ter barbacned and nothing was
lacking to make the occasion one
to be long remembered.
Everyone hoped to be at the
Centenial Dinner.
