The usual cry about this time is that
cotton has noproft in it for theplanter, and
the prime reason for that calamity is the
credit system. Wherefore the planters say
they are the slaves of commission mer.
chants. Much of this is true, but the
remedy ought to be largely in the pla ters
own hands. If cotton planters would di-
vcFsify their drops, come down to a cash
basis and act i'll concert, they would make
money.

Porous Plastefs, and have submitted them
to chemical analysis TO determine their
comparative merits as external remedies.

valuable medicinal ingredients, which do
not exist in Allc0cll's Porous Plasters;
hence in my opinion they are superior 10
those of Allcock's.

WHAT THEY SAY.

"Well, how do you like it ?" l asked of
prominent citizen of Perry.
Like it why we wouldn't be without
it for any consideration. 1t unquestion-
ably great blessing to us, and it has given
old Houston boom We little dreamed of.
tell you, sir, it came like benediction
You know our county is about the oldest
in this section. The timber here was fast
disappearing and with some of our planters
it had become a serious questson-in fact,
l call to mind several large plantations
turned out entirely for want of fences.
These places have fine crops of corn and
cotton upon them now"
''How about your stock ?" querried.
That's where the beauty of mo fence
comes in. We have dozens of four and
five gallon cows in the county now. Good
butter and milk can hardly be sold in our
town, it is almost drug ON the market,
the supply Is 50 abundant; besides, we
have better beef than ever before. Our
eople formerly let the cattle take care of
themselves now they are compelled to
provide for them. The amount of home
raised fetilizers is double what it was a
year ago. and our cattle being graded up
rapidly by the best breeds. We are obliged
to have better cattle or have none"
The darlSies, how do they stand now ?''
'Oh, they are greatly pleased with it.
When they once understood the real merits
OF the case they ceased to oppose it. They
are now unanimously in favor OF the law
as it stands. II: Fact, the whole country is
now solid on the subject, with the excep-
ton OF now and then a citizen who has
enough money and timber to make himself
entirely independent"
How about values ? Have your lands
really appreciated ?"
'No question about it, sir. l should
say at least fifteen per cent. with rising
tendency. In short, the adoption of this
law in Houston county seems to have in
fused new life into things generally, ard
the outlook is now brighter than it has been
since the war"
And so it is, judging from appearances.

Any one who has ever tried it, or knows
anything about cur labor fully under
stands the difficulty of keeping up good
fences; it is the hardest job of farming.

little interest in permanent repairs, or in

WHAT GAME OF 1T.

As time wore on farmers began to see
considerable advantage in the new system.
The valuable time and money heretofore
spent upon fencing repairs every spring
was now expended upon the land the
wide fertile fence rows began to be brought
into civilizations it was also noticed that
the quantity of manure to be raised under
this system of fencing the stock was more
than twice doubled. More manure, better
stock, better crops, more prosperous com.
munity.

!
A business call carried me to the neigh
boring county Of Houston few days since,
and white there | took in some of the prac-
teal workings and results of the mo
Fence law. which has been in operation
in this county for the past twelve months.
Knowing very well there is diversity of
opinion on this subject in Sumter, simply
give the facts, leaving each reader to draw
his own conclusions.
A LITTLE HISTORY.
AS is always the case with any kind of
innovation or revolution, when the question
was brought before the people of Houston
county, Notwithstanding the FEASIBILITY
of the scheme, many good citizens, es-
pecially those who were fortunate enough
to own suficiency of timber, arrayed
themselves stoutly against 1t.
The negroes were almost solidly against
it; the opposition very shrewdy turning
this to account, all Of which, connected
with the natural Discrimination to get out
of the old ruts made an imposing future
for the advocates Of the new system.
Now in theory and figures this ''no
fence" business beats a cotton crop or a saw
mill to death. Let's Sec Well-the tim
Der saved, the labor saved, labor cheapened,
fat stock, improved stock, fine pastures, a
land flowing with milk, good butter, plen-
tiful, appreciation i'll value, etc.
Actual experience, however, isssworth all
speculation in matters of this kind, and
the leading farmers of Houston made up
their minds to try it. The question was
| duly submitted to the people, close con.
test followed, both sides claiming the victo-
ry. The matter was then carried into the
courts, with final decision in favor of the
''no fence" advocates. Great was the re-
joicing over the result, the more jealous
mo fence" men declaring lands had APP.
preciated in value fully twenty per cent
within month after the law was in force.

they can be expelled from

explained 10 the miners large number of
