The Supreme Court last Tuesday by
decision of Judge Warner declared that a
man can waive for himself and family
his right to the homestead. The case
was from Monroe county where J. Sim
mons executed to W. W. Anderson, a
mortgage to one hundred acres of land
and in said mortgage said Simmons
ed lor nimseif and his family all right
to a homestead. The mortgage being
foreclosed, Simmons attempted to take
the homestead, which brought the case
into the Superior Court, where upon the
above statement of facts the Court decided
that the land was subject to the morL
gigo fifa levied thereon whereupon the
claimant excepted and appealed the case
to the Supreme Court, which affirmed
the decision of the court below. It
is claimed by financial and business
men that the decision will affect our
commercial credits to a very valuable
extent and help to subvert the string
gency prevalent.

The Work of The Session
We extract a few laws passed at the
last session of the General Assembly
from the Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel
which says:
±4 statute of limitations with regard
to proceeding to set aside any judgment
or decree of a Court Any motion of
this kind must be made within three
years of the rendering of the judgment
or degree. The trouble caused by the
decision of the Supreme Cturfc that the
act of the Legislature permitting the
sale of homesteads in certain cases was
unconstitutional, called for additional
legislation on the subject. We hope
it may do all that its framers intended
it to accomplish. The Itiirtiense home
stead allowed by the Constitution has
been a blight upon the State, and will
always he a cause of trouble and confu
sion so long as the constitutional provi
sion stands. The only effectual remedy
is a Convention, which will reduce the
homestead within legitimate bounds. —
The administration of county affairs is
sought to be protected by the passage of
an act compelling Ordinaries, County
Treasurers, Clerks of the Superior Court
and Sheriffs to make a return under oath
and the grand jury of their respective
counties on first dav of each'term of the
amount of money received by them be*
longing to the county the source from
which the same was received, and their
expenditures, accompanied with proper
voucher. The administration of jus
tice is further protected by making it un
lawful for a Solicitor General to adyise
or suggest to a party under indictment
to plead guilty, or to promise any person,
under indictment in consideration ofk
plea of guilty to intercede with the court
in his behalf. An act to amend the
homestead laws of the State makes some
important changes, which are designed
to prevent much of the fraud that has
often been practiced heretofore in the
exemption of realty and personalty. A
party making application for such ex-*
emption is required to give the full
name and ago of the wife or children
for whose benefit the exemption is desir
ed. The schedule must be accompanied
with a list of the party s creditors sworr'
t), and their post office addresses if
known. The applicant is compelle to
give notice of the application and of the
day of hearing to ea h creditor resi
ding in the county at least five days be?
fore tae hearing and to notify creditors
residing out of the county fifteen days
bef re the hearing. The hearing of the
petition is to be not less than twenty nor
more than 30 days from the date of appli
cation. The property set apart for
the benefit of the wife alone shall revert
to the debtor’s estate upon her death or
marriage.; if set apart for the benefit of
minor children it shall revert when the
children die,or when they become of age.
Whatsoever a change of investment is
desired application must be made to the
Judge of the Superior Court, all the
proceedings recor ed and the proceeds
of the sale be reinvested in the same
kind of property, real or personal, as
that which was sold . When all jarties
interested consent the h miestead estate
and sinple estate may be both sold at
the same time and the Judge shall pro.,
vide fully for the protection of the par
ties. To prevent the United States from
iosing the hireofconvicts,itis enacted that
where lessees fail to pay what they owe
the Comptroller-General is authorized
after thirty days written notice to
the lessees, to issue executions against
the lessees and the security on their
bonds which shall be colleated in the
same way as fifas against defaulting tax
collectors.
So much of the general school law is
repealed as required the County Com>
missioner to make an opportionment of
the school fund of the county both that
which may be derived from the State and
that which may be raised by general
taxation upon 1 10 property of the nuai'
of children of school age in several sub
distriots and to disburse the fund in ac
cordance with this apportionment after
reporting to the County Board of Edu
cation, A general act—not allowed to
conflict with local^legislation—requires
the officers of the diflerent Courts, in
cluding Solicitors to pay all the money
arising from fines aud forfeitures into
the County Treasury. The Treaurer
is required to keep the fund of each Court
separate and to pay the different officers
upon the order of the Judge. The jury
fee for each verdict or decree in the
Superior Court is fixed at three dollars
aud for such confession of judgment or
a ward one dollar,the sameto be paid into
the County Treasury and added to the
jury fund. Judges of the Superior
Court are authorized to striko criminal
cases from the docket when there has
been no appearance of the defendant and
where thoy have reason to believe there
will be no appearance. These cases must
then be put on docket for criminal cases
that have been standing for five years,
and witnesses are released from further
attendanee until again subpoenaed.—
For several years efforts have been made
to reduce the compensation of Tax
Collectors and Receivers in this State. —
The last act passed fixes their compen
sation at ten per cent, on all digest of
§,IOOO and under; nine per cent on all
over §I,OOO and under §2,000 ; seven
pet cent on all over §2,000 aud under
$2,000; six per cent on all over §4,000

This Mew Family Machine is cap*:
le of a range aud variety of work such as

ichiner. We claim aud can show that
t ic eheape t, most beautiful, delicately
uiged, n.cely Adjusted, easily operated,
,1 "i-noothly running of all the family
wmg machines. Jt is remarkable, not
■ly to flic range and variety of its sew
but also for the variety nfid different
mis of texture widen it will sew with
qm l fi cility and perfection, using silk
wist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse,
making the. inter elastic lockstitch, alike
m both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
>eaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
'rent strength and uniformity of stitch,
•.nd, in a moment, this willing and never
wearying inst-ument may be adjusted for
tine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
he tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate fingers
iiave been known to perfovm.
Ours having long been t he popular and
practical machines for manufacturing pur
poses, some dealers, using “the tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this in trying td
persuade purchasers that our Family Ma
chine is not equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—and they are
apt to examine carefully before clioosifig—
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family n achine embod
ies new and essential principles—simplicity
of construction ; ease of operation ; uni
formity of precise action at any speed; ca
pacity for range and variety of work, fine
or coarse-leaving all rivals behind it.

OFFICIAL REPORT.
The following is a correct report of the
sales of sewing machines made by the lead
ing companies during the past four years.
A careful examination of the figures will
show tbaft the “SINGER” have largely in
creased each year, while on the contrary, a
corresponding decrease is shown in the sales
reported by all other companies. This is a
highly satisfactory result to us, and iB only
another proof that “merit always has its re
ward.”
