It seems that a great deal of mischief

It seems that a great deal of mischief
is brewing on account of the stock law
amendment permitting stock to run at
large during certain months. Our
Judgment was against this amendment,
and we so informed the people, but
after our asking through The TINES in
our Columbia Correspondence, if there
was objection to the passage of the
law, and no response came, we took for
granted that Doctor Woods was correct
when he insisted that his people want
ed the law. We have been asked our
opinion with regard to fencing in the
exempted localities, so that there could
be no conflict with liners. In our opin-
ion the stock law provides that eX-
empted localities must be fenced in or
der for the exempted law to become
operative. The law is on the statute
books and the only way for it to come
off is for majority to ask for its re-
peal. If majority do not sign petit
tions asking for the repeal of the law
then it will be assumed that a majority
want it to remain, and the complaints
come from a minority. We are salts
fed that the delegation will be unani-
nous working for the repeal OF the
amendment if a majority ask it.
