Action of the Executive Committee.

Attention is called to the proceedings OF
the Democratic Executive Committee of
Cobb county. 1t is hoped that our friends
will avail themselves of the general turn
out of the people on next Wednesday, the
9th inst, to appoint delegates. The Com
mittee deemed it best to name that day, and
thus save the people the trouble of again
leaving their homes and business on anoth-
er and later day. When the delegates shall
meet at the Court House on the first Tues
day in September, they will doubtless nom
mate candidates for the Legislature. If
they think it too early, however, then to
nominate candidates for county officers,
they can appoint a later day for that pur-
pose

ACWORTH

The Grand Lodge of Good Templars
which convened here last week was evi lent
ly quite success. There were about
eighty five delegates in attendance from va
rious parts of the State, all of whom ex
pressed themselves as being much delighted
with the people of our town, and the cor
dial reception rendered them. The meeting
was harmonious throughout, and passed
strong resolutions, favoring prohibition for
the State by law. Rev. G. A. Nunnally,
of Rome, who was afterwards elected and
installed G. w. G. r. of the State, made a
long and well timed speech in the Baptist
church on Tuesday night to crowded
house, which carried conviction to the
minds of all reasonable men who heard it,
as regards the evil TO a town or city where
liquors are retailed. On Wednesday night
Gov. Colauitt addressed full house in a
two hours speech which was well delivered
aud which convinced his hearers that he
was in full sympathy with them in their
efforts to rid our state of the great evil.
We are glad to note that our friend
Pennie Mitchell is improving, and we hope
soon TO see him on the streets again.
"A drummer the other day walked into a

THE STOCK LAW.

EDITORS JoURNAL-I have seen several
pieces in your paper advocating the no fence
law. Before this question comes to decisive
vote | desire to throw out a few hints in favor
Of the present system. consider the stock law
a coerciye measure discriminating in its APP
plication which rich land owners desire to las
len upon the poor tenant and small property
owner. II is Revolutionary in its tendencies
and onpressve in its results Our present
fence law is one Of the old landmarks of our
forefatbers-under il they lived and prospered
The right to pasture stock on the public com
mons has been a custom from time immem0rlal
and to suddenly change this custom is danger
GUS and cannot be productive OF good. IL Is
calculated to make landlords domineering ty-
rants A few landlords may be generous. but
others will be exacting and insulting. Quar-
rels and law suits " i'll ensue, stock constantly
taken up and sold, for it will be as difficult to
keep stock in pastures then, as it is keep them
out of fields now. Pastures will have to be
fenced and but little timber will be saved.
Another important thing is, every pasture
must have running water in it, or it Is failure
as a pasture, tor il will be loss of time and
labor to water stock daily by tOating IT them
in buckets. Again it will force the selling on
of a large amount Of stock, which Will cause The
market to be OverstOckeuJ anu buyers WIN tahe
advantage Of this compulsory sale and will not
nav more than half price. thus the law will
amount to almost forcibe confiscaton of prop
erty. Many widow whose cow furnishes her
with milk and butter. thereby economically
saving the purchase of many pound of high
priced bacon. will have TO sell her COW, which
like the widows mite, is her all, while the rich
man with his fine pastures and fat cows VIII
