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 ferior Courts, ant I Courts of Ordinary, in the Several Canut es in this State, to advert sc i i certain Xetespapert. — Apporv- ! e l Feb. 22,1559. Section I That the sheriffs, coroners, clerks ol the superior and Inferior courts, and the clerks of the c- urts of ordinary, in the several ! countie in th s State, are hereby authorized and required to advertise their sales, citations, and proceedings of their respective courts in some j newspaper published in their counties respec tively ; and if there be no such paper published in the county, then in the nearest newspaper, h: ring the largest or a general circulation, in the county. And no such officer shall change the advertising connected with his office, from one paper to ano her. without first giving nuiice of his intention to do so. in the paper in which bis advertisements may have been published. Section 2. AH deputies of Sheriffs, or other officers • erein mentioned, shall advertise iii the same papers in which their principals adver- 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. Proceedings of Council. council noon. ThomASvir.LE. July 16, 1866. Council met this day in regular meeting.
