Cartersville, January 20,1876.
LEGAL ADVERTISING. ’
The law in regard to the publica
tion of legal advertisements in Geor
gia has never been explicit enough.
As it now stand, in many counties,
officials make the subject a matter of
speculation, having their advertising
done in whatever paper that will
give them (the officers) the largest
commission for the patronage thus
conferred. In these transactions pri
vate nor public interest is considered,
and the interest of the official is alone
subserved. Several attempts have
been made to secure proper legisla
tion upon this subject without avail,
and the consequence is the officials in
numbers of counties are left to give
out* their advertising to such papers
as are willing to pay the best com
mission for it, whether that paper
has the largest circulation in the
county or not. The result is that the
public pays for it and the estates of
dead men are the chief sufferers.
The law ought to require that all
the legal advertisements of a county
shall appear in the paper printed and
published wholly in the State hav
ing the largest bona fide general cir
culation in the county. This is due
to the general and public interests of
the county and people. The officials
of a county have no right to direct
their advertising to their own bene
fit. As custodians of the public weal
and the interests of widows and or
phans, they should give their adver
tising the .direction that will best
subserve the interests of the public
they are paid to serve. They are en
titled to their legitimate and estab
lished fees, and have no right to any
part of the printer’s fees.
The object of making publication
of legal notices is to give them the
greatest publicity in the county from
which they emanate. That is the
object of advertising. It is the in
tention of the law requiring their
publication, only the law is not ex
plicit rnrev-mtUAn. fixing the medium
through which such publications'
should be made, and the result is the
intention of the law is often defeated
by speculating officials who look
alone to personal gain in dispensing
their advertising. Such conduct
ought to be made a misdemeanor,
and officials forced to perform then
duty to the public and to promote the
interests committed to their hands.
The Code ought to be so changed
as to require all the legal advertise
ments of a county to be published in
the paper having the largest bona fide
circulation within the limits of the
same, the paper, of course to be
printed and published wholly in the
county, or at least in the State. This
is due to the public interest and to
home enterprise; and it is hoped the
Legislature now assembled will see
to it that such shall be the law.
This subject might be more elab
orately discussed, and the reasons for
fixing the medium of legal publica
tions Which will best subserve public
interest are so plain that every hon
est and intelligent legislator ought to
be able to recognize them at once.
REPEAL THE HOMESTEAD LAW.
Honor bright! what inducement
lias the money holder to loan his
greenbacks under the present law,
with a $3,000 homestead staring him
in the face? This constitutional law
is working an irreparable injury and
loss to men of small means. Thous
ands of our young men who have
judgment and managing talent could
rise in the world and grow rich and
prosperous if they could only once
get a start. Oftentimes a loan of
i£i.ZA\Ck w<\t\l<l Ua I lwv nol.'infy nf o
sober, energetic man—but he cannot
borrow it; he has no credit and his
young honest heart sinks into de
sponndeney ; he feels himself low
ered as he reflects that his honor is
not equivalent to five hundred pal
try dollars ! and but for the exemp
tion law he could borrow $3,000, for
his credit would be good; but it is
known by capitalists that men do
avail themselves of this law, to de
feat collections of honest debts, and
they refuse to put their money out of
their possession, except to persons
owning largely over the allowance of
the homestead law. Confidence be
tween mau and man is lost, and can
we blame the capitalist for not lend
ing his means when they know how
insecure his notes are under the law?
How easily his debtors may pay off
all their obligations to him , by saying,
“We have settled all the notes we
owe you, with the {ordinary /” No
wonder then that the money owner
buys United States bonds, or sends
his means to other States for invest
ment. No wonder we cry out “hard
times.” No wonder this Common
wealth sends twenty millions of her
means out of the State per annum
for safe investment. No wonder that
we are becoming poorer each year;
and the wonder will be immense
after a while that we are not all
bankrupt! No family, no county,
no State, no government, no people
ever prospered, where there was no
confidence. Such a thing is impossi
ble, and capital cannot have confi
dence in credit. So long as the laws
of the land step in between its citi
zens and prevent the payment of
honest debts such a law must strike
every honest man as being wrong
and its workings unjust.
The honest judge on the bench
with unspotted ermine,must.hang his
abashed face as he is forced to admit
the plea of the exemption laws
against widows and orphans, whose
little all has been Joined, that they
might secure a pittance from the in
terest of their small means, but with
one full swoop” capital, interest and
an are swallowed up with one stroke
oi th ordinary’s pen.
lapeal the law, and invite credit
once more to the
KIND WORDS FOR THE EXPRESS.
Perhaps no paper in the State ever
started out with a greater number of
complimentary expressions from the
press generally than The Express
has since coming into the hands of
the present proprietor. These notices
we have republished from time to
time more for the purpose of refuting
the charge that we are here in the in
terest of a ring than from any other
motives or feeling of vanity. We
have shown by them that our jour
nalistic record, though humble, has
never been blurred with truckling
subserviency or want of honesty and
independence. Even those of our
brethren of the press with whom we
have had many an editorial jost read
ily accord to us the merit of unblem
ished reputation as a bold, fearless
and independent writer. The parties
who have charged us with such cor
ruption as being the organ of a ring
have ceased all attempts to sustain it.
It is not untrue to say that the charge
was known to be false when made
by those who gave it publicity. It
was done as a matter of prejudice and
to injure us. To a limited extent
only has the object sought been at
tained. We have patiently bided
our time, and borne the infamous im
putation silently, believing that an in
telligent public would place the prop
er estimate upon it in due time. In
this we have not been deceived, as
the rapid and steady increase of the
circulation of The Express attests.
The kind notices of the press are
still being received, and we give sev
eral of them as follows:
The Cartersville Express, un
der the editorship of C. H. C. Will
ingham, is developing into oneof the
liveliest and sprightliest weeklies in
Georgia. Willingham is an able and
independent writer, and withal one
of the cleverest men it has been our
pleasure to meet. Success to Charlie
and The Express.— Gadsden (Ala.)
Times.
Now, the people of Cartersville
have nothing to complain at in the
way of a newspaper. The Express,
as conducted by Willingham, is one
of the very best country papers in
the South, and we are aware of the
fact that this is saying a great deal.
We wish him well with his new en-
teprise, and hope that he will be am
ply sustained. —Gainesville Eagle.
C. H. C. Willingham, Esq., of The
Express, paid us a call while he was
in Canton last week. He is deter-
ms paper TO rne irmu
of Georgia weeklies, and we doubt
not he will succeed. Mr. Willing
ham is a little forgetful sometimes,
we think, as when, in his notice of
Canton, he entirely ignores the ex
istence of the Georgian ; but that
does not lessen our opinion of his
journalistic merits.— Canton Georgian.
Mr. C. H. C. Willingham, the only
“trained journalist” now living, was
in the city yesterday. Mr. Willing
ham is just now fondling a double
barreled project, the two aims of
which are to put Pendleton in the
Presidential chair, and to secure some
advertising for his paper, The Ex
press. Without committing our
selves blandly to his first scheme, we
unhesitatingly endorse his second.
There is no better weekly paper in-
Georgia than The Express, and no
editor more deserving of public pat
ronage than Mr. Willingham.—At
lanta Herald.
We shali labor with all the ability
we possess to make The Express
worthy of the many kind expressions
it has received from our brethren of
the press and the people. We shall
labor zealously to build up the best
interests of Cherokee Georgia gen
erally and Bartow county especially.
All we ask are the confidence and
support of an honest and intelligent
public.
THE ETOWAH IMPROVEMENT COM
MITTEE.
The committee appointed by the
Canton river improvement mass
meeting, held on the 4th inst., met
in Cartersville on Saturday alternoon
last. Judge T. J. Perry, of Rome,
the chairman, presided, and on mo
tion, Judge Perry and Judge A. R.
Wright, also of Rome, were appoint
ed a sub committee todraft the mem
iUl IU UUU IAS OUOllllt A A
to all the members of the committee
for their signatures.
It was also agreed that the munici
pal corporations and towns along the
line of the Etowah river, be request
ed to appropriate sum of money
to defray the expenses of an
agent to remain in Washington city
to look after the interest of the memo
rial in Congress, and to aid in giving
the proper information for the en
lightenment of the members of Con
gress on the’importance to the coun
try of an appropriation for the im
provement of the Etowah river, and
to lay all the facts of necessity de
manding such improvements.
Judge Perry was requested to con
fer with the municipal authoritiesand
to ask an aproiation to defray the ex
penses of such an agent at Washing
ton—the amount necessary to be
raised being not less than five hun
dred dollars.
The meeting of the committee was
then adjourned sine die.
Thus the Atlanta Constitution: “In
two consecutive paragraphs The
Carters ville Express is strange
ly inconsistent* It first demands a
reduction of taxes, and in the next
paragraph advocates an immediate
calling of a constitutional conven
tion !” It would require the interpre
tation of a one-eyed colporteur to
point out the inconsistency in the
foregoing. To our minds the calling
of a convention and the reduction of
taxes are synonymous terms.—Sacan
nah News,
Our metropolitan fiiend don’t seem
to understand “synonymous terms.”
We are in favor of a constitutional
conventson for no other purpose than
to secure an organic system of State
government that will give t he people
a reduction of taxes.

THE EXPRESS THIS WEEK.
The proceedings of the Legislature
and the Governor’s message consume
so much of our space this week that
we are uuaule to present our readers
with anything like a variety and but
little news. For this we have no
apology to make as we are certain
the public want to know the impor
tant acts of the Governor and the
General Assembly. The legislative
proceedings are condensed, leaving
out all local or unimportant matters
in distant parts of the State—s-uch as
the change of county lines, relief for
individuals, and legislation for mere
ly county maters.
In our local columns we give some
important extracts from the State
comptroller’s report in regard to Bar
tow county, such as will be of gener
al interest to the public. We think,
however, The Express this week
will do to file away for future refer
ence.
A full synopsis of the proceedings
of the Legislature will be given du
ring tiie session.
If our representatives in the Legis
lature will pass a stringent law tax
ing heavily all worthless dogs, our
people will go largely into the sheep
raising business, and they will be re
elected for twenty years to come, if
they desire it. Oh ! that the inno
cent sheep and lambs had legislative
friends.
All citizens of Bartow and adjoin
ing counties who desire to read a care
fully prepared synopsis of the pro
ceedings of the Legislature during
theisession, subscribe for The Ex
press.
In transcribing our subscription
lists to anew mail book several of
our most valuable exchanges were
omitted. Having missed them an
examination showed the reason.
We regret we are unable to publish
Mr. Hilrs speech owing to its length
and the space filled by the legislative
proceedings.
