The Stock Law

Continues to excite public interest in our
County. At meeting held in Pulaski Town
ship wc understand that on almost unanimous
vote was polled against its adoption. A meeting
has also been held ut Little River in White
Water Township, but we huve not heard what
action was taken. Wo feel sure that largo
majority of the citizens of Keowco, Chatuga,
White Water and Pulaski Townships, and per-.
haps also Of Tugaloo Township will oppose any
change in the present law, and further that any
effort to extend the law over the whole County
will be defeated On the other hand, Seneca
and Centre Townships, with tho lower portions
of Wagencr and Tugaloo, will doubtless favor
the law by majority vote. We are therefore
satisfied that If tho law is adopted in any part
of this County it will be only below somc line
agreed on without regard to Townships. We
cannot expect tho upper part of the County to
favor it at this time rs the cultivated land bears
small proportion to tho woodland and the
pasulage there is rich and listing Space
forbids our further discussion of this matter in
this issue. Our readers will not forget the mass
meeting called on Saturday, the 9th instant, at
the Court House, to discuss tho subject.

Idle Talk.

Tho Bible saYs; "Let your communication
be yea, yea, nay, nay; for whntever is moro
than these comcth of evil" This is evidently
not to DO understood litcrally for such
construction would forbid the preaching Of
tho word Of lifo and all intercourse betwcen
man and man. Nevertheless, there is lesson
of wisdom in the instruction, which all
would do we'll to bear in mind and practice
in life, never to permit the tongue to say any.
thing likely to produce discord or trouble A
similar expression is found in Proverbs:
"Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue,
keepeth his soul from trouble" Again
James says: Even SO tho tongue is little
member and boasteth great things. Behold
how great a matter little fire kindletb.
And the tongue is q fro, world of iniquity;
so is the tongue omong our members, that
it dcfiloth tho whole body, and scttcth on
fro the course of nature; and it is set on FIRE
Of hell" While all else can DO tanned, "tho
tongue no man can tame, and it is an unruly
evil, full Of deadly poison"
The power and Influence Of tho tongue can
bost be estimated by persons who have at-
tempted to abandon tho habit Of swearing or
using by-words. Long after they arc able to
control their uttcrances, oaths will sweep
through their minds in spite of every effort to
prevent them. Itis only by pcrsistontly sup
pressing wicked expressions for long time
that finally they disappear from tho thoughts
and cease to trouble Us. IF, however, wo
yield to the thoughts and utter thom with tho
tongue, the habit can never be overcome.
1t is. however, the influence of the tongue
as loading men to commit crime to which wo
specially direct attention. Crime Of all kinds
abounds and even homicide has become of
common occurrence. There must bo reason
for this, rs education, civilization and Chris.
tianity, all peace bearing in their effeots, arc
becoming annually moro diffused. One
reason is evidently the pornicious practice OF
carrying concealed weapons. Another is
perhaps tho decentralization resulting from the
late civil war and the socisl revolution flowing
from 1t. But,we think another and the most
fruitful oagsa is, the common practice Of men
making threats Of what they would do under
pertain circumstances. 1T !is of every day
occurrence to hear men say, If person should
treat me thus and 60. I would kill him, or If
a man should say this or that to me i would
shoot him down. These idle. not to soy Gin
ful oxprossions, corrupt tho heart and produce
