The Text of the General Stock
Law.

The bill "to provided general stock
law and regulate the operations of
the same" as it passed the House on
Wednesday, the 30th Of November, ex-
cepts the counties of Georgetown,
Williamsburg and Horny from the
provisions of the law, but with the
further proviso that these counties be
fenced in at their own cost and sepa-
rated from the adjoining counties
The bill proposes to make it unlaw
full for the owner or holder OF any
horse, mule, ass, swine, sheep, goat or
cattle Of any description, to allow
such animals to run at large beyond
the limits Of his own land. When
ever such animals are found upon
the lands of any other person, the
owner or holder of them is made liza
BILE for all damages sustained and for
the expenses of seizure and mainte-
nance, the stock to be held Liable for
the same,in preference to al other
liens and claims upon it. The owner
or tenant of land is allowed to hold
possession Of trespassing animals and
to charge fifty cents for the seizure Of
some and twenty-five cents for the
seizure of other classes of animals
specified, and to recover damages for
injuries sustained, the reclamation to
be laid before the owner within forty
eight hours. If the animals are not
turned over to the owner within
twelve hours, he is rendered liable
for the further cost of maintaining
the animals until they are delivered
to him. TIE owner, however, is al
lowed to recover immediate posses
sion of his stock upon giving bond to
cover all expenses. In case the own
er of the stock is not known it is to
be held one week, then turned over
to a trial justice, by him advertised
for ten days and then sold, the pro-
ceeds to be used, first to defray ali
claims and expenses and the surplus,
if any, to be placed in the hands OF
the clerk of court. At the end of a
wear if still unclaimed, the money is
then to be turned over to the county
treasurer to be used as county funds.
Known owners of animals who neglect
to adjust the legal demands upon
them for three days after notice shall
be treated as if unknown.
The destruction or removal of any
fence intended to enclose animals By
nersons other than the owners or
holders is made misdemeanor, and
is punishable by fine or Imprisonment.
The rescuing of an animal which has
been impounded is also made mis-
demeanor. 1t is also made misde-
meanor to ride or drive over the fields
of another: This Act is to go into
offoet on the lst day of March, 1882.

1--WE WInELY DIFFERENT VIEWS

In the late debate on the stock law
in the legislature, Mr.. Dargan, Of
Darlington, the author of the bill, de-
livered a very forcihle argument in
favor of its passage. 1t was true, he
said, that the bill aimed at very old
law, but that did not prove that it
was not good measure. The people
themselves had already virtually
abandoned the old fence law, and
this measure only attempted to put
into operation what they had already
decided upon. The result of the
operations of the law on the Sea Is+s
lands Of South Carolina, where so
many poor persons lived, disproved
the allegation that this law would
operate to the injury of the small
farmers. This bill meant progress
and it had always been the fate of
progress to meet with resistance. All
improvements were resisted by the
ignorant. He trusted that this As
sembly would rise above such shallow
opinions. The agricultural depart
ment of the State had endorsed the
bill. The value of lands in the State
amounted to $79,ooO,OOO, while that
of stock amounted to $9,5OO,0OO only,
in which estimate is included So, 3,OOO..
900 of horses and $3 100000 for
mules and asses: leaving only about
$3,000,000 worth of cattle. Are We
to protect this $3,OOO,OOO of cattle at
tbe expense of S79,OOO,oOO of land !?
1t was singular fact that in South
Carolina to-day pig enjoys more
privileges than Governor Hampton.
The humblest man in the State, who
owned pine barren, could without
even fence around it say to the
Governor, Cont put your foot within
this inclosure," while the pig could
go anywhere he pleased in the land.
The question had to be met sooner or
later; it could not be kept out Of pol
itics. It had to be met in the next
campaign. and it had better be met
now and here.
Mr.. Dennis, of Charleston, said the
Democratic party had promised pro-
lection to the people who had voted
Tor him. In behalf of his people he
protested against any such law. In
the low country there was an abund-
ance of grasses good for stock. The
voice of the people was not to be
stifed. 1t would make itself heard
sooner or later. He appealed to the
Legislature to pause before passing
this law. a public meeting had been
held in Charleston County and out Of
population of six hundred only ff-
teen had been in favor of the stock
law. There were thousands of acres
of land in Charleston County unfit
for anything else but for grazing Of
cattle. The few men who want the
stock law in Charleston County were
the rich lsndoxasgs. The naazs gassl
did not want it, and its passage would
