shall have the stock law put into operation
will be decided next Wednesday.
Both sides are marshalIing their forces

fought battle, but the no fence" people
are expressing unbounded confidence in
the result. while their opponents are ex-
pressing some dissatisfaction with the reg
istration. and say they were unable on ac-
count of it to get their fun strength regis
tered.
The fence people held a meeting at Pooler
and one in the city last night for the pur-
pose of completing their arrangements for
the election. They viii have a meeting to-
day and have a rally on the lists for to-
morrow night. They say they can secure

time 10 get up a big meeting.
eve want the people to vote for fence
and let the law stay as it is said one Of
the fence sides of the question yesterday.
1--WE haven't got our full strength regis
tered, but we are relying largely on the
support of the people in the city to carry
the election our way. This registration
law is a one-slded thing. and there has been
much dissatisfaction expressed with it. The
dissatisfaction has been with the manner
the people. There are a good many people
in the city, however, who are with us. and
1 believe we will come out ahead. We are
relying on polling the vote of the First and
Fourth districts in the city, besides that
of the country districts. The Second and
Third districts we do not look to for very
much"
Both sides have been working very quiet
ly. The no fence people are claiming ma
5ority according to the registration lists,
anywhere from 100 to 1000. The lists are
still in the hands of the registrars who
are wedding out all those who are dis
qualified to vote. The probability is that
out Of the 1890 names registered anywhere
from 200 to 800 will be disqualified. The
registrars are working night and day on
the books in order to get the district lists
ready for next Wednesday,
The citizens Industrial committee will is
sue a circular to all voters tomorrow.
They call attention to the fact that the
election takes place Wednesday, and that
Il is of greater Importance to the commu-
nifty, from an industrial standpoint than
any other that has taken place in the
county. The welfare and future prosper
fty of the county, il says, depends on the
success of no fence. Attention is called
to the destruction of the drainage work by
the cattle which work is paid for almost
entirely by the people living in the city, as
they are by far the heaviest tax payers
The Industrial committee in defining what
mo fence" means, says:
"No fence" means that live stock will
be fenced up, and that our county Will be
put under a complete system of drainage
within a few years.
mo fence means. further, that a poor
man can go into truck farming, without
being compelled to expend hundreds of dol
lars annually in fencing his crops.
mo fence" means that in the course of
a few years Chatham county will blossom
as one vast truck farm.
mo fence" is a poor mans law, because
1t will enable many now unemployed to
rent patch of ground, at cheap rental,
and earn a subsistence therefrom for him
self and family.
mo fence" means a cheaper garden pro-
duct and an increase in the quantity of
the same.
mo fence means that with abundance
of truck, there will be no difficulty in es-
tablishing numerous canning industries
dn the county.
Believing that you have the interest of
this community al heart, and are for pro-
gress, health and the betterment of our
people in general, we ask that you vote for
mo fence" and see that your friends do
likewise.
