.yon will spare the space | will
YEA few arguments in favor of
Fence"
One bfthe main points is that it |
along the line of progress. It'll
b. BOT mean, as Mr.. Wilcox
Oasld have us believe, that thel
tenantlmust give up his cow and
Q hog, for the landlord to put, aside
aSplat Of ground on each farm to
be set to Bermuda or some other
grass than it is TO fence the entire
farm. 1t means that the tenant
win See that it is to his interest to
dispose of his sorry stock
and in their place get fine Jerseys,
etc. In placs of the razor back
hog he will have berkshire and
Poland China, thus providing, not
only his own butter, milk and
meat, but putting himself in a po-
sitiOn to compete with those pro-
ducts of,this kind that are shipped
in. Mr.. Business Man are you in
telested in keeping money in Fitz-
geraldi ~''
In regard to the law causing
trouble with the surrounding cOun-
ties; the same argument might be
applied to city stock ordinance,
which has Inconvenience farmers
whose stock has been impounded,
yet the city has shown no intention
of repeating the ordinance.
1t being granted that the "No
Fence" law is alright in a county
in which all tillable land is in cul-
tivation, let it be impressed on the
mind that the quickest way to
bring about such a condition in
Ben Hill is to pass the law, which
will permit a man to clear and cul-
tiyste piece of what is now wild
land without having to spend
almost as much as the land is
worth to fence it against sorry
stock that won't pay for it's keep
1t would require too much space
Mr.. Editor, to explain all the
merits of the "No Fence" law. 1t
has been a success wherever tried.
1t means pure blood stock, in
creased fertility of soil, more farm
owners, make possible the eradica-
tlon of the cattle tick, and denotes
anaup,to.date spirit in a cOmmun-
ity.1 Don't be alarmed at claims
that it will ruin the farmer. 1t
has not harmed, bnt benefited him
where it has been adopted
Let every man in the county
who is interested in she progress
and prosperity of Ben Hill and
Fitzgerald, go to the polls tOmor-
row and vote "No Fence" You
will not regaet it.

Bullet. 4

Frank Ferrelli. who shot his father
in-law, Frank M%ercantenno, in the
right side of the body Tuesday after
noon while watching a game of "boCcoi
in the rear of 100 Nassau street, WAS
located in Albany, n. Y, yesterday,

to find and arrest him.
When Ferrelli left the scene Of the

The physicians at the City Hospital
in Newark have been unable to re-
cover the bullet in Mercantenno's body
1t is believed that the bullet struck
the lower part of the right lung. and
fear is entertained that blood poison-
oning may develop unless the leaden
pellet is extracted.
