EDITon PATRIOT will you please al
low ME through the Patriot TO- tell its read
ors some facts obtained during my late
visit to Mecklenburg in reference to the
fence question.
The committee, of which was a mem.1

courtesy. We were introduced to every
farmer upon the fair ground, it seemed to
me, and our chairman, Mr. w. S. Battle of
Edgccombe, generally propounded ques'
tions calculated to find out the sentiment OF
the people with whom We were talking, and
also that of their neighbors at home, which
brought one unanimous response in favor OF
the stock or fence law. The poor aud rich,
white aud black, all favor it. talked with
a number of colored men onsthe subject
and found only one opposed tojt. lie was
a renter, bad one COW, whicy was allowed
to run in the pasture with rhe proprietor's

The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. II Is only now that tho other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for 4 settlement
Of the estate and the sale Of the wines on

Of 1861, described as 4 " Sweet Union Port"

than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
