[NEWSPAPER LAWS.
First,Subscribers who do cot give express
aotice to the contrary are considered as
wishing to continue their subscription.

tinuance of their periodica 8 the publisher
jnay continue to send them until all arre
•rages are paid.
Third. If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals from the ofiice to
which they have been directed they are
held responsible till they have settled their
bill and ordered their paper discontinued.
Fourth, If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher, and
the papers are sent to the former direction
they are held responsible.
Fifth, The courts have decided that re¬
fusing to take periodicals from tha office,
or removing and leaving them uncalled for
ts priina facie evidence of intentional
fraud.
Sixth, Any persons who receives a news

A Proposition.
In order to get up a DeKalb News
boom and, to give everybody a chance
to subscribe and renew, we will make
the following ® offer which will be f good
until . the , loth „ day oi May, and no
longer.
1. Anybody and everybody can
Lav* the News one year for §1.00
-cash in advance.
2. All who are iu arrears can set¬
tle at 81.25 ceuts per year for all past
dues and reuew for SI.00 cash in ad¬
vance. Would anybody ask for a
more liberal offer? Then let all avail
themselves of it and send the money
on at once and get a receipt for what
is due and a renelval for another year.
Send bills under $5.00 at our risk,
over that amount by registered letter
at our expense, If more convenient
pay to any of our authorized -agents.
We now certainly have reason to think
that those who have been owing
tor past dues will promptly
setne under this offer
We need the money and therefore
we ask for it, as it is most assuredly
our right and duty to do. No man
lought to be offended for being asked
for money he owes. If misfortunes
have rendered it impracticable for him
to pay, he may with propriety, ask for
indulgence, but he ought never to be
offended because lie is asked to pay a
•debt h« has contracted.
And now as We have made it easy
for old and new subscribers, we hope By
hundreds will cheerfully respond.
noticing the ‘.‘cross mark” on the paper
;dl can tell pretty nearly the
■due.
A gentleman in our office Tuesday,
suggested Dr. W. C. Moore as a can¬
didate for the Legislature.
We return thanks to Representa¬
tive Seaborn Reese and Senators Brown
.and Colquitt for public documents.
Tbe friends of Dr. W. P. Bond
want him to run for the Legislature,
i#o a Lithoniau says.
A subscriber wants to know what
the views of Messrs. Jackson aud My
oatt are on the tariff question. They
are of age, let them speak for them¬
selves. They have given us no author¬
ity to speak tor them.
It is said that Judge J. D. Stewart
is the dark horse that will be trotted
•ut, iu case thero is a dead lock be¬
tween Hammond, Jackson and Mynatt
While we mat’ have our preference,
we are glad to be able to say that any
one ot the above will make an able
representative.
The following, in addition to Dr.
Bond, are mentioned ns probable or
possible candidates for tbe’Legislature
from DeKalb : O. Wiuuiugham, H.
'43. Jones, E. M. Word, G. M. Can
’dler, T. J. Flake, G. A. Kaunspeck,
W. H. Carter, W. J. Donaldson, Dr.
IVank Akers, Dr. J. H. Goss, If
there are any more send on their names
■but when you write iu the interest
«f your candidate, don’t forget
the printer’s fee.

The Richmond correspondent of
Chicago Inter-Ocean says, under
bead of “Deviltry from Dixie” (a very
nice correspondent) (?) that Gen. Jos.
E. Johnson wants an opportunity to
kick out *f the Democratic party. He
repors a number of naughty things
that Geu. J., has said and that be is
anxious to form a new party, Ac. &c.
We don't know whether he said
these things or not. If he did, we con¬
clude that one of two things is true;
either he is in his dotage, or he has
been disgruntled and disappointed a
Knit some political scheme or aspira¬
tion. It he wants to go, the Demo¬
cratic party can spare him. Rue we
can tell him one thing,— there wont
be any new party this season, ■
:
A Word to Correspondents.
As our list of corespondets is increas¬
ing, we desire to make these requests;
1. Have the letters in the office by
Monday, otherwise we can’t promise
that they get iu, us we go to press soon¬
er than formerly. 2. Be as brief R3
possible. Boil down whenever practi¬
cable.
■o
Candidates
Long age the editor promised of him¬
self not to vote for any man tiny
party who was lacking in mental office and
moral qualifications We for the for
which he offers. have never re¬
traded this promise. If we need good,
pure and intelligent men anywhere out¬
side of the pulpit, it is in the three
departments of government, — Execu¬
tive, Legislative and Judicial. In
this free ballot country every v ter
should feel that bis lie is rerponsibie of the to
the extent of vote, for the acts
man that he helps to put into office by
that vote. If we have had laws, or
deficient laws, the legislators are who not
the only guilty ones. The voters
them in office must share in the
guilt. hood,. Wo consideration or neignbor
merely friendehij), personal interest kinship should or other
extort
trom any man a vote for a candidate
unqualified or disqualified mental for the office
he seeks, by reason of ar mor¬
al incapacity.
He *uly is a good workmap who
puts his conscience in his work. He
only is a good voter who puts his con¬
science in his vote. There are at least
three qualifications that are necessary
to constitute a good officer in either of
the branches of our government, intel¬
ligence, prudence and morality. We
do not say that we have placed these
qualifications in the order of tfieir val¬
ue, nor do we say that we have named
all that are important. We do say we
have named the most importaut.
us analyze them. If an officer is into!
ligsnt, ho will know what his duties
is moral, he will perform them consci¬
entiously and honestly. Courage is an
important element of character, and
some one might say that we should
have mentioned that as one of the
ally qualifications, A moral man will,gener¬
if not universally, possess a cour¬
age, born of lus conviotions, that will
carry him along the liue of duty in
the very face of danger, defeat or dis¬
aster. Let the voters then seek out
intelligent, prudent and moral men to
represent them in the National or
state Legislature, at least men that ap¬
proximate this standard- since none
are perfect.
