The fence question is now before the peo-
pie of this county. Early next month there
will be an election TO decide whether or not
stock owners shall fence in their cattle. At
present farmers and gardeners are required
to fence against cattle. The stock owner
can turn his stock into the public highways
if be chooses, and a farmer, unless ne has q
lawful fence, cannot recover damages from
any one whose stock may have injured his
growing crops. If the mo fence" law is
adopted stock owners will have to confine
their cattle within Enclosures, or if they
turn them out upon the commons they will
have to watch them and keep them from
trespassing upon private lands.
There is no doubt that this county would
be greatly benefited if the mo fence" law
were adopted. Thousands Of acres that are
now unoccupied would be placed under
cultivation very soon.s Great areas have
been drained within the last year or two,
and the main reason why these drained
lands are not cultivated is the cost of
fencing them.
The cost of fencing even small farm is
very considerable. 1t is so great
that many who would like to engage in
farming cannot afford it. The cost of
keeping a fence in repair is not small. In
fact, fence needs something done to it
nearly all the time to keepit in a serviceable
condition.
There is no reason why a farmer should
be put to the expense of fence simply be-
cause stock owners wish to use the com
mons as grazing ground. Let stock own
ers keep their stock at home. Their horses,
cows and hogs will thrive much better if
kept in good pasture and carefully at
tended to, than if turned into the woods.
A stock owner who keeps his stock in h is
own pasture can afford to own only the
best breeds If, therefore. the "no fence"
law is adopted the stock in this county
will be improved. There will be an effort
to get better breeds. At first there may be
a decrease in the number of cows aud hogs,
but the quality of them will be better
OF course mo fence" law would work
hardship to some. but the number it would
benefit would be far greater, and. besides,
the advantage it would be to the county
would be immense. In all matters the
thing aimed at should be the greatest good
to the greatest number. Who can say that
this Is not the aim of the "no fence" law2
Wherever the mo fence" law has been
proposed it has met with strong opposition,
but when adopted, so far as we are in
formed, it has given such general satisfac-
ton that it would be impossible to get up a
respectable petition for its annulment.
The MORNING News published correspond
ence from North Carolina some months ago
showing that where the law had been
adopted in that state it produced admirably
results and was generally approved.

1t irritates the Chicago Inter Ocean to
have it said that Mr.. Cleveland is more
popular than President Harrison. Tnat
newspaper says, in defense of the President:
Before the election the little inland Indiana
city was besieged with men coming by hun
dreds and by thousands to shake hands with
Gen. Harrison and assure him of their
sympathy and friendship. All that time
Grover Cleveland sat in the white house
and never a delegation came near his door.
November rolled around and every section
of the union where there was free ballot
rolled up majorities for President Harri-
son." 1t vii. be noticed that the Inter-
Ocean does not mention the popular ma
jority of IS, 600 for Mr.. Cleveland. and that
it has apparently forgotten how New York
ard Indiana were carried for Harrison.

A Clever Thief.
From, the Neo York Sun.


A boarder in a fashionable uptown house
who had been delayed one night last week
arrived home as aseedy-lookng individual came
down the front steps with an armful of spring
overcoats. The boarder recognized some OF
these as the property of friends in the house,
and stopped the man
Where did you get those?" he demanded.
A light smile flashed over the mans face as
he replied:
I'm tailor around the corner, and the
gentlemen sent for me to press and fix their
coats"
The boarder suddenly remembered that his
own coat needed repairing, so he gave it to the
man, with instructions to fix it with the others
and return it. When he got down to the table
he said to one of the boarders:
Jones, met the tailor with your coat as
was coming in, and gave him mine, too"
Jones looked up wonderingly.
What are you talking about?" he asked.
The boarder explained, and in a moment there
was panic. Several of the coats were after.

Old Age,

l often think each tottering form
That limps along in life's decline,
Once wore a heart as young, as warm,
AS full OF idle thoughts as mine!
And each has had its dreams of joy,
Ills own unequaled, pure romance.
Commencing when the bluShing boy
First thrilled at lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell his tale of youth:
Would think its scenes of love evince
More passions, more unearthly truths,
Than any tale before or since
Yes, they could tell OF tender laws,
AT midnight penned in classic shade;
OF days more bright than modern days,
And maids more fair than modern maids.
OF whispers on a willing ear
OF kisses on blushing cheek;
Each kiss, each whisper, far TOO dear,
Our modern lips to give or speak,
or passions too untimely crossed.
OF passions sighted or betrayed;
OF kindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossom but to fade.
OF beaming eyes and tressss gay,
Elastic form and snowy brow.
And forms that have all passed away,
And left taem what we see them now!
And is it thus? Is human love
SO very light and fraIl a things
And must llfe'S brightest visions move
Forever on Times restless wing?
Must all the eyes that still are bright.
And all the lips that talk of bliss,
And all the forms SO fair tonight,
Hereaft 4r-only come to this?
Then, what a-e earth's best visions worth,
Ii we at length must lose them thus?
If all we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from US?

Pension Commissioner Tanners action in

hard sometimes, and then he gets hit back.

who has had an experience with ademijohu

Mrs Maybrick, the American who was
arrested in London the other day on the
charge of having murdered her husband
with poison, has found friend. He for
merly lived in Norfolk. Va. He knows
Mrs. Maybrick well, and proposes to give
valuable testimony in her behalf His
name is Bateson. 1t appears that Mr. and
Mrs. Maybrick lived in Norfolk at one
time, and that Mr.. Maybricl1 and Mr..
Bateson were great friends. They were
room mates several months Mr.. Bateson
says that Mr. Maybrick was in the habit of
taking arsenic, and that he used the drug
so freely that he (Bateson) frequently
warned him against the risk incurred; that
the quantity of arsenic in May brick's pre-
scriptions was constantly increased, and
that in a conversation between Maybrick
and mis- physician, Maybrick was told that
if he did not stop using so much arsenic it
would kill him. Mr.. Bateson has secured
copies of prescriptions which Mr. Maybrick
ordered, together with the attidavits of
drug clerks who put them up, and the other
day he sailed for England, where he will
give his testimony.

The Prospect Imnrozlne.

1t looks now as if the $50, 900 required to
bring the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery railroad here would be
obtained. The committee that
has been appointed to solicit
subscriptions is large one, and includes
men who are very much in earnest IN their
efforts to promote Savannah's prosperity. II
all the members Of the COMMITTEES give
reasonable amount of time to the work Of
soliciting subscriptions they can hardly
help meeting with gratifying success.
The amount that is desired is a very small
one for a rich city like Savannah to raise.
Her business men and real estate owners
could give it without missing it from their
business or bank accounts There is not
one Of them who would not get back more
than the amount Of his subscription within
year after the completion of the road
1t is a mistake to suppose that railroads
projected in this state, which seek a sea
coast outlet, must come to Savannah.
There are other places to which they can
go, and where inducements are offered
them. Brunswick is making an extraordi-
nary effort to get the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery road, and there is prob
ability that she will succeed unlets Savan-
nah responds to the proposition which has
been made to her..
That proposition is not an unfair one by
any means. Brunswick offers a site for
terminal facilities The sum asked from
Savannah will not be sufficient to secure
site here for terminal facilities.
1t is safe to say that if the road is built
here by next january it will bring to this
city Sl,O00,000 worth Of new business in
1890. The $4,000 asked for is therefore
only 5 per cent of the new business for one
year. When this fact is considered,
together with the fact that the value of
real estate would be greatly increased, it
would seem as if the $4,000 ought to be
raised in day.
