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. Tiie Farmer’s FHiexd, —We have received the first number of the above new paper, just started at Griffin by Mr. S N vanPraag. It is an excellent sheet, gotten up with great taste and presents a neat me chanical appearance. We wish Mr. vanPraag great success in his lauda ble enterprise, and hope he will reap a rich harvest. Monday was the anniversary of the defeat of the British at Cowpens, in 1781. 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.
