MIR. Fosters Fence Bill.

Representative Foster has intro
duced bill in the house designed
to collect into one act all the acts
10 what shall be a lawful
fence. At the present time the laws
upon this matter are embraced in a
haIf-dozen or more bills scattered
through the acts of the Legislature,
aud it is difficult to tell without ex-
tended search just what constitutes
a lawful fence.
Representative Fosters bill is sEto
define a lawful fence and to provide
for the protection of stock owners
in this State"
Section l provides that every far
mer, etc., shall make and keep a
substantial fence around his cult
waited land.
Provided, however, that this shall
not apply to incorporated towns of
5000 inhabitants or over, according
to the federal census of 1900 or any
subsequent census.
Section defines a lawful fence as
follows:
A stone wall must be 81 feet high.
Post and plank or post and rail
fence must be feet high.
A worm fence 4! feet high.
Where Usage orange hedges are
used they must not be less than four
feet high and eighteen inches thick.
The hedge must be so close that all
stock will be effectually turned ex-
cept swine and goats.
Picket fences must be four feet
high and the pickets one inch thick,
and they must be securely nailed.
Barbed wire fences must consist
of not less than four wires, the low
er one to be not more than thirteen
inches from the ground.
Section prohibits swine, goats
or VIGOROUSLY mischievous stock
from being allowed to run at large
or straying from the owners prem
Uses.
Section 4 gives the owner of
premises protected by fences as pro-
vided for in the act, the right to i'm
pound any stock found trespassing
on his grounds and it is provided in
the succeeding sections that such
impounded stock shall be sold on
the judgment of justice of the
peace to pay any damages which
may be sustained by the party up
on whose premises the trespass oc-
ours, and also the cost of rendering
judgment and making the sale.
Section makes it unlawful to
main or wound stock found tres
passing, although the fence protect
ing the premises upon which the
trespass is committed is a lawful
one, and the manning, ETC., of such
trespassing stock is made a INSIDE
meanOr, and subjects the party
manning the stock to pay damages
in addition to such penalty as may
be adjudged in the misdemeanor
case.
Section provides that the owner
of premises protected by any of the
different kinds of lawful fence shall
have lien for damages on trespass-
ing stock.
1t provides that the act take eff.
feet April 1, 1901.

Democratic Leadership.

New YORK, Feb. 3.-The
announcement that Senator
Hill is not candidate f II the
presidential nomination of
his party in 1904 is made by
the Albany correspondent of
Leslie's Weekly in the cur
rent issue. He says:
81 have the highest author
ity for the statement that
Senator Hill s not a candi-
date in any sense for the
presidential nomination, and
that he is not responsible for
the action of his friends and
will in no way encourage the
continuance of such action.
Whatever Senator Hills
ambition may have been in
the past, he treasures no pres
idential ambition now. He
is engrossed in his law prac-
tice. 1t has grown larger and
more lucrative each year, and
his absorption in professions
al duties gives him little
time and less inclination to
respond to the growing call
for him to actively assume
the party's leadership
''This reluctance on the
part of the Senator to re enter
public life is not the result Of
pique or disappointment. He
simply finds greater comfort
and enjoyment in the prac~
tice of his profession and less
allurement in the field of pol
itics, which has never been
a source Of profit, and often
has given him hardly a COM
Portable support.
FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE.
"Like every other man
who reaches middle life, Sen
ator Hill looks forward to
achieving substantial finan-
cial Independence by main
tanning his established and
wellsettled professional prac-
tice. He is devoting his best
energies to that end and
therefore he is not inclined
to respond to such calls as
have been made by the Tex
as Legislature and by prom
inent Democratic leaders and
organizations in the South
and West.
"ThOse who have intimate
personal relations with Sena-
tor Hill doubt whether he
will ever consent to lead his
party again in a presidential
campaign. While he is averse
to making public expression
of his feeling in the matter,
his determination is not a Sc
cret. Devoted as he has
been for so many years to
his party's welfare, his with
drawal from politics is regard
ed as impossible. He will
continue to be all influential
factor, but this will not inter
fere with a conviction he has
recently expressed to many
friends that office holding is
unsatisfactory and unprofita

In Memoriann.

Died of typhoid fever at his fa-
theirs residence, four miles south
west of Bolivar, on 2Sth of Janua-
ry, 1901, Hodgie Cliff, aged %
years, IL months and % days. He
is asleep in Jesus. He had been
sick for several weeks, and his suf-
fering was borne without MUIR
muir. He was prosperous young
man, kind and generous hearted,
always thoughtful of others, and
was loved by all who knew him.
1t was my good portion to be with
him during the last week of his
sickness, and | feel that l was great
ly benefited by his presence. He
had never made an open profession
until on Sunday morning, the day
before the Lord called him home,
but had expressed himself as being
anxious about the welfare of his
soul, and had been for the past
three years-and on that beautiful
Sabbath morning he gave himself
up to the Lord and was gloriously
happy in Christ Jesus, expressing
himself as not afraid to die, saying
that Jesus was coming TO carry hlm
home. He is not dead, but sweetly
sleeps in Jesus. May we all meet
him in heaven.

CHOSE favoring the abol-
ishing of the present charter
Of Bolivar held an election
to-day. Only seventy-seven
votes were polIed, seventy
four for repeal and three
against. Those against the
repeal did not vote in the
election because Of rules dis
franchising a large number
Of voters. a majority of the
white voters and practically
all of the colored voters are
against repeal"
The above telegram from
Bolivar appeared in the Com
mercial Appeal and Nash
vile American of Sunday.
The author, perhaps, is COR
rect so far as the negro is
concerned; but he must have
drawn upon his imagination
in regard to the white vote.
At a municipal election held
here on January %, 1901, in.
which both white and cOlored
participated, the total num-
Der of votes cast was 11S,
hence it will be seen from,
the result of the last election
that a majority Of the white
voters are in favor of abOl-
ishing our present charter.

Standing In almost the center Of
Helen GoG,d's white dressing table In
her boudolr and seeming oddly out Of
place among the silver topped toilet
pieces, young lady friend of hers saw
one of those little iron penny savings
banks such as the children of the less
wealthy commonly have.
"Why do you disfgure your dresser
in this fashion," asked the friend.
Miss Gould looked at her Questioner
with a mild expression Of reproach.
That" said she, "is for my babies.
It's just one of those ordinary little
fresh air fund boxes. l have pennies
sometimes to save, and why shouldn't
my babies profit by them"
you dear thingw said the girl, who
as soon as she got home impetuously
had q five dollar bill changed into pen
MES, which she forwarded to Miss
Gould with the following note:
Dear Miss Gould-Here are 500 pennies. Pray,
Gil the box and spare your dresser.
She hasn't yet been reproyed for her
impertinence. Possibly Miss Gould
was able to find some reason for ex-
cusing and forglving it.-New York

TELLING A LIE.
Suppose the FalsehoOd II Actusted
by n Good Motive.

DR.. Benjamin Z. Andrews makes this
assertion: "a lie is not lie If actual
ed by good motive. Veracity Is an
attitude Of the mind rather than an alb
solute quality"
There is nothing more foolish than to
preach outside of Juvenile classes that
truthfulness is necessarily a virtue In
itself. Virtue consists in doing your
duty, and very often the telling of lie
is duty. In nine cases out OF ten
lying Is despicable because the liar lies
In order to shield himself. He lies
through cowardice. He lies because he
wants to deceive and swindle or to
escape the consequences Of his mis-
conduct.
But lying Is sometimes noble, and It
is very often necessary. Every doctor
must lie every day. If he told nerv-
GUS invalid the truth, he would simply
destroy his chances of recovery. II he
told trembling mother the exact facts
about her own .child's illness, he would
often render her absolutely unfit to
care for 1t. If he told the support OF
family the truth about himself, he
would divert that mans energies to
hypochondriaca introspectiOn and ruin
his usefulness.
Galilel was compelled on his kness to
deny that the earth went around the
sun. He did deny 1t, knowing perfect
" we'll that at that very moment the
earth was going around the sun and
that he and his judges were making
the journey with it. He knew that be-
tween the beginning and the end OF his
recantation the whole farce OF which
he was the center had moved a great
many miles through space.
But he denied that the earth moved
to please those who exceeded him in
physical force. He lied. He knew that
he lied, and he lied nobly. His was a
useful lie. He had very important
work to do. 1t was right that he should
tell lie, forced upon him, in order to
save his life and to give to the world
the full benefit of the magnificent In
telligence which God had given him.
The man who knows that he Is dying
of consumption will smile ten times a
day and tell his anxious wife that he
feels much better. The daughter car
ing for her sick mother and almost ex-
hausted with fatigue declares that she
is not tired and that she was asleep
while her mother was sleeping.
Those lies are written on the right
side of the recording angels book.
II you lie to save yourself, you are,
Of course, a coward and liar Of the
ordinary kind. If you lie to spare the
feelings of others, and II you really
spare their feelings and do not encour-
age them to useless effort or otherwise
injure them In the end, you are simply
doing your duty.
OF all mans blessings those are great
est Of which he knows the least and to
which he pays least attention. Per-
haps the very greatest piece Of good
luck In all our human existence Is this:
That we cannot read each others
thoughts and that it is possible for
each Of us to make the lives Of others
little moro bearable by presenting
things kindly If sometimes untruly.-

An Unfortunate King.

The king of Servia is, to put 1t mildly,
the least kingly figure now seated on
European throne. 1t is impossible to
take the king Of Servla seriously,
whether in his absurd matrimonial diff
ficulties or his equally ridiculous polit-
ical imbroglios. He seems all his life
to have been in difficulties Of one sort
or another. AS a child he was fgura-
lively torn in two between bis bellig-
erent parents, and as a young man
there were perpetual squabbles with
his mother on the subject of his mar
rage.
