According to a time-honored legend, says an exchange, the ladies have been accorded certain privileges and prerogatives during leap year which they are supposed not to enjoy every year. They do not always, of course avail themselves of these liberties, but but they all know what their rights are, and do not tail to mention them even when they do not elaim them.— 1 hey hold them in reserve as a sort of menace of what they could do if they chose. In our searches the other day through the musty records of the past we found a privilege accorded the ladies which perhaps all do not know'. The young ladies may be interested in knowing that the privilege of “pop ping the question” is not the only one leap year accords to them, but there is a penalty attached to refusals. If in the course of the present year a young lady should so far forget her self as to suggest a union between her self and a bachalor acquaintance, who should be uncivil enough to decline her proposals, she could thereupon de mand of him the gift of a new' silk dress. But to claim this dress with propriety she must at the time of ask ing, be the wearer of a scarlet petti coat, the lower portion of which she must exhibit to the gentleman, who, by the law of leap year, is compelled to present the lady with a dress that shall cover the petticoat and assuage her displeasure at the rejection of her proposals. This may be the reason why scarlet skirts are being worn so much the present year, and perhaps we may in fer that the ladies propose to insist on their rights and inflict the penalties prescribed by the law These penalties are somewhat ex pensive, and we advise any gentleman who believes he is selected as any la dy’s victim to give her a w r ide berth and make it convenient to disappear # around the nearest corner when he sees her approaching. • Bachelors will have to fight shy this year. —Hawkinsmlle Dispatch. to®' Our friend's J.

Work seems to be going on upon nearly every section from Newman to Carrollton. The early prospect of the comple tion of the road to Carrollton has caused property in that tow r n to ad vance considerably. Trade there du ring the present season has been reas onably good. About twelve hundred and fifty bales of cotton have been sold there since the cotton season opened. Merchants, farmers, lawyers and physicians all seem to be elated with the prospects of a bright future before them. We predict that the population of Carrollton will more than double in the next year. Bowdon is also looking up, and has some of the cleverest people there in the world, and a number of very prtty girls.

Nothing so well indicates the thrift, prosperity, and public spirit of a com munity, as to see their market roads w ell worked and in good order. It saves tiifte, the wear and tear of teams and w’agons, and is consequent ly, ready money in hand. The Ordi nary, therefore, of Carroll county, has had prepared and published, upon the recommendation of the road commis sioner, an epitome of the road laws, to w'hich the attention of the Com missioners, Overseers, <fcc„ is especi ally invited. These law's, this year, must be rigklly in forced. CLASS AND REQUISITES OF ROADS. The public roads, in this county, are designated as second class roads. Such roads shall be cleared of all stumps, grubs, trees, and bushes, at least twenty feet wide, and of all limbs that may inconvenience horsemen and carriages ; stumps cut as nearly even with the surface as possible, and the tract five feet six inches wide. Bridges and causeways to be made and kept in repair by road hands:— Causew'ay pieces sixteen feet long, well secured, made fast, and covered w ith earth. WHO TO WORK. All male inhabitants, white and black, betw'een sixteen and fifty years, except ordained or licensed preachers, professors of any college, or teacher and students of any public school, keepers of public grist mills, ferry men, <fec. Road hands to work only one road, running in three miles of their resi dence, except an opening anew road, when all the road hands of this district shall w'ork. Road hands to work, only, five days at a time consecutively, and only sis teen days in a year, unless upon sud den emergencies. Employers of male persons of color shall furnish a list of those liable to work, or pay in fine of three dollars for each name not furnished. DUTY OF OVERSEERS. Overseers shall summon hands, one day before the day of w'orking, and state the road to be worked, time and place of meeting and the implements required. Overseers shall superintend the work of theii roads, leave them w'orked in the best possible manner, and make re turn in five days after working, to the commissioners, of all defaults and de ficiencies. When any road, bridge, or cause way, becomes impassable, the over seer shall call out enough hands to repair it, by giving one days notice. Hands summoned, and neglecting to obey such summons, and to carry the implements as ordered, and neg. lects aud refuses faithfully to work, shall be fined by the commissioners, not less than one, nor more than three dollars, or be imprisoned at the dis cretion of the commissioners. If extraordinary implements are re quired to work the road, the overseer may receive them in exchange for the labor of hands, or the Ordinary may authorize him to contract for them. The commissioners, upon applica tion of any person, may proportion the road, and parcel off to such appli cant an equal portion of the road, for him and his hands to w'ork. If, after having accepted such por tions, they neglect to keep them in re pair, they are penalties that commis sioners are, besides road fines on the hands. All defaulters must file their excus es, if any, on oath, before the commis sioners, who must meet at some place in the district, to hear complaints, up on giving ten days notice in writing, at one or more public places in the district. Such commissioners must issue ex ecutions, or warrants of arrests, under their hands and seals, against default ers, directed and collected as Justices’ courts executions, or arrest and bring defaulters before the commissioners. Money collected on such fi fas to be paid to the commissioners, one half to be paid the overseer. Overseers may make use of any tim bers for the road, and contract with owners of land for other timbers, and if they can not agree as to the value, may refer it to arbitrators. Overseers shall measure the road over which they are appointed, from the Court House, and set up a post or mark, at the end of each mile, in a conspicuous place. Overseers shall, at the fork of each public road, place a bound or other mark, designating the place to which each road directs. If any overseer fails, to measure, post and put up finger boards at the forks of the road, he shall pay a fine of fifty dollars, to be imposed by the commissioners, and collected as other fines. If any overseer omits to do his duty, as required by the road laws, for thir ty days, when the necessity arises, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and punished at the discretion of the Court. He is, also subject, to be fined by the commissioners fifty dol lars, unless a good excuse is rendered to them, within twenty days from the time he is notified. OBSTRUCTING PUBLIC ROADS. Any person altering or obstructing the public roads, shall be guilty at ft misdemeanor, and fined not less than twenty five nor more than one thou sand dollars. Any person making any fence, or cutting any tree so as to obstruct a public road, and not remove it within tw'o days, shall pay a fine of twenty dollars ; to be recovered by execution issued by the Commissioners. APPOINTMENT AND DUTY OF COMMIS SIONERS. The Ordinary, shall biennially, ap point three commissioners for each road district, any two of whom may act, if only one in a district, he may discharge all the powers of the three, until the vacancies are filled. Those thus appointed are compelled to serve, unless excused by the Or dinary, for providential cause only. Such commissioners, while in office, are exempt from all juiy, patrol, mi litia aud other road duty. IT IS TIIEIR DUTY. 1. Within fifteen days, ,to appoint one or more persons in their respective districts as overseers of the road. 2. To apportion the roads and hands, at the same time, as equally and fairly as possible, and to furnish the over seers with a list of the roads aud hands under their charge. 3. In twenty days after every w'ork ing, or oftener if emergencies require they should hold a court, and try de faulters and violators of the read law's, and issue executions. 4. They shall keep a book in which to enter names of the road hands, to what road assigned and under what overseer, list of defaulters, and per sons fined, the amounts fined, amounts paid, what done with the money, what executions unpaid, and to pay to the County Treasury the money col lected. 5. To inspect, from time to time, the roads, bridges and ferries, notice the repairs, if the road is posted, and direction boards put up as required. 6. To exercise a general supervision over the overseers, and to fine them for neglect of duty, and to see that persons are indicted for the violation of the road law's. 7. To administer all oaths, relative to the road Taws, connected with their duty.

During the present year a Presi dent and members of Congres are to be elected. Liberty must be preserved ot lost- The corruptionists of the day—the Bond Rings—the ambitious enemies of free government—are artfully, persis tently paving the way to the overthrow of the Federal Republic, founded by Washington, Jefferson and Madison, ahd the establishment of a Centralized Empire and a Dynasty injts stead. THE PEOPLE can prevent this if they will. They can retain their free dom, or they can become slaves, The destiny of this country is to be deci ded by the peoples votes/ If the Democratic party will but stand firmly upon its time-honored platform, and erect the standard ot Liberty, and honesty in the adminis tration of the government, a glorious triumph will be achieved. Victory is within our grasp. The enemy is giv ing way—is receding from his disre gardoflaw and constitutional guar anties. Now is the time for a vigo rous charge upon his wavering lines. The Sun, has been sowing the good seed of truth. It has already brought forth good fruit. We shall continue to sow the seed, and shall expect a rich harvest to be reaped in the triumph of honest principles in the next election. We trust our patrons will aid us in extending the circulation of The Sun. We have entered upon our enterprise to assist in the great work of redeem ing the country from the control of robbers, tyrants and money-changers, who are infesting the temple of Liber, ty.

Henly Smith, General Editor & Business Manager O THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION FOK 1872. This year promises to be second to none in local and national importance. The great Presidential contest be tween the Democratic and Republican parties, or between Constitutionalism and the rights of the States upon the one side, and Centralism and Impe rialism upon the other, will agitate the country to its remotest corners. In State affairs the time3 will be no less eventful. Just emerging from a terrible crisis, the people of Georgia will soon see the final developments of the Radical drama enacted in the State since the close of the war. Be sides, there will be the regular election for Governor. The Constitution has a corps of cor respondents, domestic and foreign, no surpassed by any journal in the South. It is published at the capital, and fur nishes full reports of Legislative Pro ceedings and the Supreme Court, to gether with Telegraphic and Commer cial News from all parts of the world. Being at the political centre of Georgia, it has superior advantages to obtain the latest political and general intelligence. The Constitution is now the Official Organ of the State of Georgia and the Democratic party. Having been unanimously elected at the last ses sion of the General Assemby. It is also the official paper of this city and county. To the people of Southwest Geor gia we desire to call attention to the fact, that the Atlanta Constitution now reaches them with the Macon papers of the same date Every one who Would keep up with the times, and have an intelli gent, well-informed house hold, should by all means take his local paper and one from the capital. The Constitution now visits every section and State, and as an advertis ing medium is equal to the best. Proprietors: W. A Hemphill, E. Y. Clarke. Editorial Corps: I. W Avery, Chief Editor, E.
