The people of the various counties in
Georgia that have adopted the local OPP
ton stock or ''no-fence' law, appear to
be very much pleased with it. The oppo-
sition, which was at first strong among
those not owning lands, especially the
negroes, has almost disappeared. Inc
necessity for such law in many coun-
ties is so great, and the advantages to be
gained by its adoption so numerous, that
there is little doubt that in the near fu-
ture it will be in force in nine-tentLs OF
the counties of the State, in fact only a
few grazing sections can afford to keep
UP the old laborious expensive fence sys-
TEN.
When the "no fence law was
first agitated in South Carolina it
met with almost oyerwhelm-
ing opposition. 1t was with great
difficulty that the passage Of a bill was
secured allowing it to he adopted in an
experimental way By militia districts;
but as soon as its many benefits became
apparent it spread from district to dis
trict, and from county to county, until at
last State law was passed making 1t OF
universal application. The people OF that
State soon discovered that the question of
the scarcity of timber. although an all
important one in some sections, was not
the only economical issue involved in the
discussion of the stock law. Some of the
earliest counties to adopt it were those in
which timber was plentiful, the people
considering the labor of making the
fences as costing more than they were
worth.
1t has been asserted that great improve
ments have taken place IN the character
and condition of the stock of South Caro-
| lima since the law has been adopted, and
| the same is true of many counties IN
| Georgia. Stock that had before been
forced to depend for food on what could
/ be cleaned along the lanes and hillsides
has, since the adoption Of the stock law,
| been provided with food and pasturage.
No doubt the discussion Of this subject
will be renewed in different parts of this
| State during the spring and summer. II
is an important one, and should be ma
turely considered and adopted wherever
the condition of the farming interests are
! favorable to its enforcement.

Can Afford to wait.

Let the Democratic House resolutely re
fuse to appropriate single dollar or single
cent for building or completing vessels while

can better afford to wait little longer for
ships than to vote away the public money to
be used in purchasing another Presidential
term for the Republicans and in setting at
defiance the will of the people.

There seems to be a growing tendency
toward the employment of women in
many positions heretofore filed almost
exclusively by men. While men are con-
sidersd more efficient, it is claimed that
the fact that women don't drink or gamble
is causing them to have the preference.
Besides, they can be employed at lower
salaries than men. The employment OF
women as cashiers is becoming quite
common out West.

The question of pensiOning policemen
is being seriously discussed in several
cities. No city pays its policemen
salaries that will enable them to save

the army for a few months. The day will
come when old and infrm policemen will
