The Stock Law.

In rcfrcnce to the Act Of the Inst Legisla-
turo proposing TO exempt certain countries
and townships from the operation OF the
stock law by taxing the stock to pay for the
fence, the HcowCe Courier says:
We doubt if any more unwise Act was
passed by the last Legislature than that
proposing TO exempt certain counties from
Che operations Of the general stock INV
The Act is 50 imprnc icnblc rs to be scarce
ly spccious, wearing on its face rather q
Legislative deception than any relief or in
tent to relieve the dissatisfied element in
our county.
The Act scarcely deserves the merit Of be
ing tub to the whale, or on reading il
and thinking moment no one will seek OF
attempt any relief under its provisions.

The Lincoln County leader. [volume] (White Oaks, Lincoln County, N.M.) 1882-189?, 1883-04-28

A few days ago we made a trip
to the White Oaks Springs. On
our way we noticed the survey OF
the rail road, and it is thought by
many that the depot will be located
behind the Glass stamp-mill. AS
the mill has been doing nothing
for a longtime, Maj. Gordon made
ovcrtures for thepurchase of it for a
depot, but Prof. Glass got his back
mp and that settled it. We were
greatly surprised, upon reaching
the old Harp well, to see the inn
provements lately made there by
Mr.. Fauvet, a Frenchman who is
living there. A nice fence enclos-
ing about five acres of ground has
been built, and Mr.. Fauyet is pre-
pairing to supply the citizens of the
Oaks with fresh vegetables and he
says he will furnish them cheap.

"Did | ever tell you what
Charles Sumner once said to me
about the manufacture of matches!"
queried Lucius @. Allin, the veter-
an armory foreman. 1t was about
fifty years ago now, when | was in
doubt whether it would pay to 90
into the business, and asked Mr..
Sumner what he thought about it.
He turned around rs quick as a
flash and said: Mr. Allin, how
many pins do you suppose are
made in a Year, l thought there
must be a good many millions.
And how many times he continu-
ed, is a pin used!' Perhaps
twenty on an average I replied.
Then at least twenty times rs
many matches will be needed as
pins he concluded, and of course
it will pay Now, did even
Charles Sumner ever size up any
thing nearer than that? L made
matches several years and, not
only that, but l invented them.
1t was away back in the '3Os, when
| was a boy. | was always fooling
with the ingredients, birthstone and
the like, till finally | struck an
idea. Then | went to work and
made a few matches, rather crude,
Of course, and showed them to a
few friends, but they didn't think
it would amount to anything, and |
didn't either at first, so | minded
nothing about it till 1854, l think
it was, when a friend persuaded
to apply for a patent. 1t was quite
a trip to Washington in.those days,
but in a few days | got word that a
Chicopee man had filed a similar
application a short time before

| could get the patent by fighting
for it, but | didn't think then that
it would pay, and 50 | made an ar
rangment with the Chicopee man.

ton to his getting the patent, but

featuring matches on my own hook.

adjustment on Walnut street, hir-
ing about thirty hands, mostly
girls, and kept at it till 81, the
time of the great panic. The Chic
opee man was a drunken peddler,
and he went to Boston on a spree
and gambled the patent away to
men who have made their fortunes
out of it. [ sold matches all
through this country, but there
was agood deal ofopposition to their
manufacture. The papers said it
was a bid for incendiarism and
many shopkeepers wouldn't sell
them. The railroad had got as
far as Worcester then, but thew
wouldn't carry matches and / had
to hire men to drive clear through

matches in the market that would

them, and when we put some in a
box and set them atire it sounded
like a small cannonade. But my
