COUNTY ADVERTISING.
Ihe Quitman Banner of the loth insL, |
‘ikes exception to the conduct of Capt !
J G. McCall, Ordinary of Brooks Coun- >
tv, in sending his advertising for publica- |
ticn in the Southern Enterprise, instead of j
•he B inner. It characterizes his conduct
a “bold ana anomalou • adventure”;
but gives his reasons as follows;
Erst ‘■ That the Banner proposed to pay
a h'c> • r per cent age to county officers of
. counties, than it was willing to pay
t s Ordinary of Brooks.
• and :—That the En'erpr’se does the ;
irertising cheaper than the Banner.
J r .J y—Thftt fereooo request
their advertising lo be sent to the Enter
ic these reasons the Banner replies first,
that it pays the Ordinary of Brooks ten
per cent on all the advertising he brings to !
‘hat effice. Second, that when the Banner
as established the proprietor called upon
‘he Ordinary of Brooks, for a schedule of
arges, and received from him a schedule (
which he stated were the rates he had been ;
lying the Thomasville Enttrpri e, and the
Banner adopted and adhered to this sche
dule.
The t ’ rd reason the Banner says it can
r:t reply to, but adds that “some petty
pique, no doubt, suggested the grand idea
if breaking down the Banner, by withdraw
ing from its columns a two square adver
:?ement. or sending to the Enterprise a few
leg 1 notices.
Here the Banner attempts to bring back
the Ordinary to his allegiance, by alhg- I
ing that it has a “ legal ” right to his adver
•:-:ng aud citing the following obsolete
Statute from the ancient lawsof Georgia;
An Act to authorize and require the Sheriffs,
Coroners, Clerks of the Superior and In

in the Several Canut es in this State, to

Section I That the sheriffs, coroners, clerks

in the county, then in the nearest newspaper,

Sec. 3. All law* and parts of laws militating
against this act. be and tae same are herebv re
pealed.
Inis act, it will be borne in mind bears
iate Feb. 22. 1850, or very near sixteen
■years ago, and has been entirely superceded
and rendered obsolete by the Code as we
now proceed to show.
The Sinner admits that the act above
cited “is not incorporated in the Code,'’ and
this admission is sufficient to condeni?
the not ; but the Banner asserts that it is
“the Jaw” on the subject nevertheless. To
entirely refute this position and satisfy
the rub io mind on the subject, we quote
from the Preface of the Code as follows :
t ‘By an act of the t-eneral Assembly, as
serted to 9th December, 1858, provision
was made for the election of three Com
missioners. to prepare for the people of
Georgia a Code, which should, as near as
practicable, embrace in a condensed form,
tie la** of Gear ia, whether derived from the
:-mmon la>c, the Constitution, the Statutes of
the State, the decisions of the Suprenu Court,
or th: Statutes of England, of force in this
Stite.”
The italics are our own to show the
p ints bearing on this subject, bat they are
vso between quotation marks to show"that
‘_he_v are quoted by the compilers of the
Cone, from the act i self of the General
Assembly. Having organized to com
mence the work assigned them, the Com
missioners construed the act of the Legis
lature “as requiring a Code which should
embody the great fundamental principles
of our jurisprudence from whatever source
derived, together with such Legislative
enactments of the State, as the wants and
•circumstances of onr people bad from time
to time, shown to be necessary and proper:”
premising, that “tw4a code wll furnish all
the information cn the tub et of laic, required
either by the citizen, or the subordinate magis
trate.”
Now that the Commissioners elected by
the Legislature did succeed in compi ing
such a Code, we prove by quoting as fol
lows from the joint committee of the Legis
lature afterward appointed to examine
said Code and report upon it. Alluding
to the powers vested in the commissioners
by the act, the Committee declare that
the Commissioners “kept themselves fully
and carefully within the pale of those pow
ers and duties,” and adds: “The mingling
together in condensed and intelligible form
the common and Statute Laws, Constitu
tional provisions and Court Decisions, and j
thus to place the whole body of all the h e
within the reach of the people, was in the
opinion of your Committee the great end
aimed at by the Legislature, an J this end
has been kept in view, and to every prac
ticable and attainable extent ably and eff
eier. ly accomplished by the Commission
ers.” •
Now believing that their Committee
made a true and faithful report on the Cos le.
the Legislature adopted it at once, and the J
Code immediately became the laws or the
State, of force, superceding and nnnuling
every and all other Statutes whatsoever
of the State, not therein incorporated, with a
-ingle exception and that does not relate
to newspapers or publications.
As no law any where exists, therefore,
to prevent him, Capt. McCall has a perfect
right to advertise in any newspaper he may
thi.ik proper, whether in the County or out
of it—save that the Code provides, that lie
shall publish “in the gazette in which the
County advertisements are usually published j
And accord ng to this law, all the County j
officers of Brooks would be compelled to
publish in the Enterprise, for until very re
cently the Banner did not exist, and the
Enterprise was ** the gazette in which the
County advertisements were usually pub
lished;” but we have never undertaken to
enfotce the laws upon County officers to
secure their patronage, nor did we com- *
plain when the officers of Brooks deserted
us and gave their patronage to the Banner, t
We leave them free as all other tradesmen
to advertise where they please, and if our ‘
journal cannot compete with the others for 1
the business of the country, then we do not i
pretend to enter it for the race.
We have entertained the most friendly j
feelings towards the Banner, and on more }
than one occasion expressed our desire for ]
its success, and we still disavow any.send- j
ment inimical to its prosperity ; but we do
not therefore surrender our right to place
our journal in close competition with the
Banner, or any other paper circulating in i
this section of country. As to the charge !
insinuated by the Banner of ‘■•underbidding,” \
. which it stigmatizes as the “ meanest of all
tricks of trade,” while we deny that the
Banner has any reason to complain of us,
we confess that, we are totally unable to
appreciate that high moral rectitude of the j
B inner, which attaches odium to legitimate j
trade. -
v’ hen one merchant undersells another, ho
is an underbidder for custom—when one
hotel charges less than another it is an
underbidder for custom. When a County
desires a Bridge or Court House built, the
contract is let out to the lowest bidder— so
do States and Governments, in reference to
works of greater magnitude. All the great
public works of the country are constructed
by ••underbidders.” What a pity it is that
the Judges of our Inferior Courts, County,
State and national officers of all grades,
are so immoral as to be guilty of this “ mean
est of all tricks of trade,” encouraging and
patronizing these ••underbidders.” Why,
the “big fine” Court House in Quitman
was built by these underbidders, and the
whole County were accessories to the
“ meanness ” of sanctioning the proceedings
of the Inferior Court, who let out the con
tract to the loitm; bidder. Shame upon you
gentlemen!
But that the Banner may be enlightened
in reference to our supposed underbidding
at the time it refers to, we will state, that
before the war we allowed all Ordinaries
and Sheriffs sending their advertisements
to this office, to deduct 25 per ceui from
the amount, of charges. This became a
custom, and newly elected officers, in course
of time claimed it as a right. Sometimes
we objected and maintained our position,
bwt it was often allowed. At the close of
the war, when we returned to the sanctum,
we refused this demand all around, but
upon rt flection we concluded, that where
these officers would become personally re
sponsible for the payment of charges, this
allowance would be profitable to both par
ties, inasmuch we believed, as it would se
cure not only a larger number of adver
tisements, but also prompt payment. We
therefore changed our resolution about the
time the Banner was fledged.

Jury of Thomas County,
June Term,
W e, the Grand Jurors, c hns*'n and sworn for
; the first week of the June Term of the Supe
rior Court of Thomas County, do make the
following Presentments, viz : *
We report the books of th - different depart
ments of the County, neatly and elegantly
i kept, reflecting much credit upon the Clerk
controlling those departments. They, however,
regret, to report the County almost entirely
: helpless, relative to the Treasury Department,
, it having received only Thirty Dollars ($10,011)
since the surrender, and having paid out some
demands, it has at this time only ($P2.85)
Twelve Dollars and Eighty-live Cents.
We also report the Poor School. Fund en
tirely exhausted with an outstanding debt of
Fifteen Hundred Dollars ($1500.00.)
W’e also report the Court House and. Jail in
bad order, and recommend that the scuttle hole
on the top of the Court House be repaired, the
parapet around th top of the building he eith
i er repaired or taken off altogether, and that the
steps, ou-both si es be fixed, and also that the
railing around the Court House yard he put in
proper order, and that good gates be substitu
• ted for the steps on the failing.
The Jail needs thorough repair including
new Locks.
W e also report the public Bridges and Roads
in the County, in very bad order, and need at
tention at osce. W e therefore recommend
i to J he Inferior Court, to levy a tax sufficient
to have the Public Building.', also the Public
Bridges of the County thoroughly repaired.
The Grand Jury would state, that on account
of the scarcity of money in the Countv at this
• time, they do not deem it advisable t > reconi
mend a tax to be levied lor the Educational
Fund for this year, but recommend a tax sufii
‘ cient to supply the wants of the poor and in

of the Inferior Court to the care leas and had
condition in which the Com t Howe is kept, the
shutters t tsidbdoors ot the lower story
are never closed, thus allowing the goats to j
enter and damage the house. This can he pre
vented with proper care, and we do hope the j
proper officers will at'once give their attention •
;to this matter- . ■
Having closed our labors for the week, and
performed the.’ usual duties required at oar
hands, we desire to sav a word or two npou >
the new order of things by which w* iiml our- !
selves surrounded. Our- social and industrial \
l system under, which we have so long lived and :
prospered, has been suddenly changed by the ,
I abolition of slavery, and if-it it possible to or- j
ganize a system offree labor which will w
well, it ought not to fail for want of effi r
onr part to perfect it We would therefore
suggest to our people, the necessity of patience
and perseverance in this behalf. The sadden
emancipation of the news excited in mv
vain and foolish expectations- in his mind,
which'wii.l never be realised, and begat many :
hopes which’ are ti> be disappointed in the fu
ture. Time will prove this. Let us therefore,
be as path irt as possible undc'r tin* trying cir- ‘
cumstances in which we are placed— abstain
from all acts of mine cssary''violence, conform
to the laws of the State, and there ha show to
the world that we intend tpact well war part in
this matter. Let ns pjNMev&re in-our eflorts to
Hjidont the verv'best modes ot plantation man
agement and discipline, consistent with- the
reedoni.of the negro and.his newly-acquired
rights, and give them a fair trial, being careful
always to approve the.right and ‘condemn the
• that if f sysl *m shall ultimately
fail. and the negro instead of being bene fitted
by his freedom shall be injured thereby, the
blame may rest where-it properly belongs; In
i this connection we think it just to say, that
(Japt. i I'Nettl of the Freedman’s Bureau in his’
official intercourse with the ‘people of this •
Coutny,'so far as our knowledge ex ends,-has
: shown himself to be a fair man. and disposed
to.ac i|ispirit of fairness and lit •■r.alityto all •
| part • have business with him.
We would also state, that many of the freed
mett in this County, contracted at the begin
ning of the y< -r as farmservanfs, and
■ have served their employers- faithfully up'to
. this time. To sucnWe. award praise, and
I commend-them for their faithfulness. Bat we’
I iv. set to have to pay, this good conduct has
not been nniverbal 1 Some.who thus contract-,
cd have not been faithful to their obligations,
but have been idle, vicious, carrying and using
fire arms improperly, and -unwilling to obey.
, reasonable rules and regulations, necessary
and proper for the good government and hum
agement of the plantation. Such we cannot
; praise—their conduct does not merit it. • •
