Mr.. Kennedy. as mentioned in
a previous letter, has abandoned
the idea of providing for a bond
issue in Sandy Grove and Doug
las townships for drainage par-
poses, and instead has intro
duced bill based upon largely
signed petition to exempt GER
tain territory from the opera
tions of the stock law, and to
require the removal of gates
from the public roads. The fol-
lowing is the bill:
A Bill To Exempt Certain Por'
tions of Douglas and Sandy
Grove Townships in Claren-
don County From the Opera
tions of the Stock Law.

Assembly of the State of South
Carolina:

exempted under this Act shall
be enclosed within a fence of
sufficient height and strength as

hundred dollars or imprisoned

Mr.. White has a bill, mention
Of which I have made before,
seeking to amend the law rela-
ting to the inspection of fertlll-
zers. The bill has received a
favorable report from the house
committee on agriculture, and
will probably pass. Here is the
bill:
