Il appears that q majority Of the COM
missioners to be elected In Comanche
county on the ed Inst, win favor a
herd law. The people out there are
wild on the subject, and no. doubt will
have TO haYe taste of it before they
will conclude that herdiaw Is the worst
affliction that could be visited on them,
or on any community. Suppose the
farmers do raise big crops, what under
the sun will become Of themp To pre-
vent stock from running at Iarge means
to drive it from the county. Drive the
stock out and where win there be any
demand for the crops? There is no
railroad within 60 miles of the farming
district OF Comanche county and even
IL there was, as has been demonstrated
this season, there Is no money in ship
ping grain. This is not our fight; but
We do believe the people Of Comanche
