CALHOUN TIMES D. B. FREEMAN, Editor Laws Relating to Newspaper Subscrip tions and Arrearages. 1* Subscribe ft to ho do not give express notice to the"contrary, are considered wishing to con tinue their subscription. 2 ; If subscribers order the discontinuance oj their periodicals,, the publishers may continue fo send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. if subscribers neglect Sr refuse to take their periodicals from the dJtVe to which they are di rected, they are held responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontin ued. 4. If subscribers move to other places without notifying publishers , and the papers ate Sen) to the former direction, they are held responsi ble. 5. The Courts have decided that “ refusing to take periodicals from the. office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.” 6. Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use of it whether he has ordered it or not, is held in law to be a subscriber. t. If subscribers pay in advance , they are bound to give notice to the publisher, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue tak ing it; otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it on, and the subscribers will be respon sible until an express notice, with payment of all arrearages, is sent to the publisher , WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1870. The district conventions hate thus far been called, as follows : First—At Savannah, April 26. Second—-At Albany. April 26. Third—At Macon April 26. Fourth—At West Point, April 26. Fifth—At Milledgeville April 26. Sixth—At Cartersville, April 26. Seventh—At Gainesville, April 26. One of the most creditable of our ex changes is the Spirit of Arkansas, which is now published weekly at Little Rock Ark. The Spirit is a large eight page paper devoted to the development of the resources of that State the inviting of imagination and to general topics. It is ably managed and vigorous in carry ing its aims. The following post routes have just been established, by act of Congress, in the Seventh Congressional District of Georgia, viz: From Summerville Postoffice to the Postoffice at Valley Store, Teloga and Alpine. From Ruckmart to Cedartowu. From Rising Fawn ,in Dade county, to Howard’s Farm. From Spring Place to Fort Moun tain. From Canton to Talking Rock, via Walesca Salacoa and Jerusalem. Cartersville Ga., ) March 30, 1876. f Ordered, that a Convention of the people of the Seventh Congressional be held iu the city of Carters ville on the 26th day of April, 1876, for 4,h0 purpose of electing two delegates to represent said District in the National Convention of the Democratic party to be held in St. Louis on the day of June 1876, and for the further purpose of vo* ting for four delegates for the State at large. In the Distiici; Convention the coun ties will be entitled to double as many .delegates as they have representatives in the lower House of the General As sembly. John W. Wofford, Chairman Executive Committee. 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. flying Words of Recent States men.

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 and under §B,OOO three and a half per cent on all over §B,OOO and under $12,- 000 ; three per cent on all over §12,000 and under §15,000 ; two and a half per per cent on all over §l§,ooo and under §IB,OOO ; two and a quarter per cent od all over §IB,OOO and under §20,000 two per cent on all of §20,000 and over Tax Receivers are allowed of he commissions, given Tax Cllectoors. for the collection of county taxes. is some prospect that party considerations wiP unite with patriotic motives in a strong effort at Washing ton to eliminate finance from politics.— The Democracy is hopelessly divided. ; and would most gladly get rid of a sub ject which threatens to be a bull in its china shop at St Louis and through out the approaching presidential cam paign. The Republicans have much more to hope for from the dissensions of their enemies than to fear from di vision in their own rmks; still, for the good of the country, the dominant ele ment of the organization desire the set tlement of the questions.— Chicago Journal , Rep.

This Mew Family Machine is cap*: le of a range aud variety of work such as • is once thought impossible to perform by 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. Sewing Machine Sales 0f1874r The table of sewing machine sales for 1874 show that our sales for that year amounted to 211,697 machines, being a large increase over the sales of the previ ous year. The table shows that our sales exceed those of any other company for the period named, by the number of 148,862 machines, nearly Three Times Those ofjany other Com pany. It may be further stated that the sales of 1873, as compared with the sale, of 1872, show a relatively large increase beyond the sales of other makers. For instance, in 1872 we sold 45,00f more machines than any other company ; whereas, in 1873, the sales were 113,254 Machines in Fxcess of Our Highest Competitor. And in 1974 our sales were 148,852 Machines More Tliau An* Ollier Company. 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.” Sewing Machine Sales for 1874.
