The DeKalb JMews. ■Entered at the Post Office in Decatur, Ga., as second-class matter. T. C. BOYKIN, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. Decatur, Ga., Apr. 24, 1884 [NEWSPAPER LAWS. First,Subscribers who do cot give express aotice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue their subscription. Second, If subscribers order the discon¬ 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 paper and ma kes use of it, whether he has ordered it or not, is held in law a subscri¬ ber. 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. -v 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.
