'FoUR-W1RE FENCE IN LAKE.
Farmers in That Section Of the State
Worked up.

T1ptonville, Feb. 11.-Graver and
more serious is becoming the ques-
ton over the "tour-Wlre fence.
The Banner correspondent visited
to-day the section close to where
the wire was cut last week. The
farmers are indeed worked up over
the matter. The report has gone
abroad in the Third district that
Mr.. j. c. Harris has said he will re-
build the fence and place d guard
around it with instructions to shoot
the first tresspasser. Further, the
report is current that B. w. Elem
ming, a mill man OF that section,
offered to furnish the lumber and
make the fence hog proof, but Mr..
Harris declined the offer, saying
that he was man abiding strictly
to the letter Of the law. Whether
the reports are true or not, they
have had their effect, and every
small land owner and renter nearly
in the neighborhood seems to be de-
termined over the matter. They
say that it has become a question
as to whether anybody can put up
four-wire fences in that section in
the day as fast as they can be cut
down at night,
Not only is this the case with
that section, but it is so in every
other place in the county where the
four-wire fence is contemplated.
The opposers claim that this was
not the year to pass such a law, as
there has not been enough corn
raised to put in more than half the
crop next year, much less feed
hoes.
