Laws Relating to Newspaper Subscrip tions ami Arrearages. • S 'ubscribers who do not give express notice to the. contrary, are considered wishing to con tinue their subscription. . If subscribers order the discontinuance oj their periodical*,, the publishers mag continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. . If subscribers neglect or refuse to lake their periodicals from the office to which they arc di rected, they arc held responsible until they have settled lheir bills and ordered them discontin ued. If subscriber* move to other places without notifying publishers , and the papers arc sen/ to the former direction, they arc held responsi ble. 5. The Courts have decided that “ refusing to take periodicals from the office, or removing cr.d leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.” R. 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. I. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound is I 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, SEPTEMBER 8, 1875. The Davenport Democrat reports that four young men have found a cave on the Mississippi entered by a flight of rude steps; its broad floor was strewn with ashes, and it contained a skeleton with a big head, and a wooden leg fas tened by leather straps almost petrified and bronze buckles. The Democrat sup poses that the skeleton is a relic of pre historic times. Our Atlanta Letter. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 6, 1875 Editor Times : It is now more than two months since your readers have had anything from til’s part of the moral vineyard, gotten up by your Gate City correspondent. Therefore to keep good a promise embodied in my cation, I attempt to write you a short letter. To say we arc rushing along with a Fearful rapidity is simply repeating what is being said by all who visit our so called mushroom city. Even a larger number of buildings arc now going, up than when I wrote you last. The cot ton factory building, covering near an acre and a half of ground, between Ma rietta street and the W. & A R. IT, three squares north of the Capitol, is running up like a “cloud from o’er the sea.” The ground work of the building is composed of rock, while the upper stories are of brick. The Superintend ent, who, by the way, is a Northern man, knows his business and pushes the work forward with remarkable rapidity. Kimball is in the back ground working with his usual vim. Dirt has been broken for the U. S. Court House, and here I wmld mention, a good deal of dissatisfaction is expressed by a majority of our citizens over the name of this embryonic structure, they having do nated the lot for a U. S. Custom House, and not as a nest for negroes and Feder al officials. But the matter has been whitewashed to the seeming satisfaction of ail concerned by the announcement that a part of the building will be used as a Custom House when Atlanta shall have been made, by special act, a port of entry. There was, at the time the grading was advertised, a great deal of wrangling among the bidders—some bidding twenty- five cents per yard for removal of dirt, while others came as low down as fifteen cents, or more than fifty per cent, below the former figures. As the cheapest bidder made his calcu lation on the basis of labjr at eighty five cents a day, the first named made a strong effort to pesuade hands not to work fur that price. The negroes Deing easily persuaded that it was Uncle Sam’s intention to pay one dollar per day (and perhaps throw in a mule and the time honored forty acres) held an impromp tu meeting and decided not to work at tho prices offered. At the commence ment of the work only about a half a dozen determined white men announced themselves readj to manipulatethe pick and shovel. This force was gradually increased to about a score, when the negroes gave in and went to w r ork at 85 cents —not, however, until they had severely beaten the first one of their number who accepted the reduced wa ges, for which two of the ringleaders Vically got the wages asked—one dollar pen day from the City Recorder,in the chain gang. We now hope to have a Court House, or Post Office,or Custom House, or whatever it is to be, very soon. We hope to see a building with nice, long, roomy steps leading thereto, on which Uncle Sam’s cherished black birds may sit, sleep, lounge, sweat, and jKmd out their rose like odor with a de gree of solemnity that will be creditable to Uncle Sam’s liberality as well as themselves. Our city is blessed (?) with a supera bundanceof negroes. Hundreds of them are loafing around without money, work or anything to eat. The mortality among them is fearful. They are dy ing by dozens, and I might say by hun dreds. Consumption, scrofula, and oth er similar diseases-are carrying them off with wonderful rapidity, while water melons, stale fruits and vegetables, lend a helping band in the mournful work. The merchants and others who have been away to the watering places during tlie summer, are gradually returning. ])u“, here. \ rider and everywhere is now tho cry. The water works have thus far proved a failure. The piping bursts in numerous places when the re~ quired force is put on. But this letter is already too long, so I will close, prom ising to write you again. As of yore, Medicus. Our Horpiiiton Letter. Mouganton, Ga., Sept. 4, 1875. Dear Times: Our town was thrown into considerable excitement the other day by the arrival of five negro prisoners who are now lodged in jail awaiting trial at our fall court; the crime of which they are accused is odc of the most brutal murders on record. The man murdered was a mulatto, by name Harrison Ilarshaw,living on Persimmon creek in North Carolina. A good mdHy of the negroes living around him were sick, and at length concluded that they were bewitched, and accordingly sent to Tennessee for a witch doctor, and he informed them sure enough that they were under the influence of an evil spell, and that tliij Harrison Ilarshaw was the one that was doing the mis chief, and if they would spill his life blood in running water lie could cure them. Accordingly these five, Dick Hyatt, Sam Johnson, Ham Hyatt, Ter rell Young and Albert Jarrett, on a dark, rainy Saturday night, a little more than a week since, went to his house where he was alone in bed, they forced him to go with them and brought kirn over into Fannin county, and after they had cruelly and bruially beat and mangled him, cut his throat and threw him into the branch and left him there. After lie had been missing a day or so suspicion was aroused, aud Mr. Ander son, a white citizen, got information enough from the negroes to justify him in arresting the five murderers ; they at length confessed their crime and con ducted a party to the place where the dead man was. From the waist up was eaten entirely up, and could be identified only by his clothes. It is said that old Pete Ilarshaw, the father in-law of the murdered man, was the instigator of the whole plot, as he both hated and feared him. llis wife also was cognizant of the fact, and left homo on purpose. The white citizens say that the dead man was honest and reli able, and more trustworthy than any of the negroes around there. It is dreadful to think what ignorance and superstition combined can do. I was in Union county last week ; crops there promise pretty well, but not so well as ours in Fannin county. The people there aie suffering from a revenue panic. Taylor Cobb has taken the place of Deputy Marshal in order to free himself from a writ fur making whisky, and he and his clan are ruining the county. They have taken up men for acts committed four and five years ago, and compelled them to attend court at Atlanta, taking some in hand cuffs. They took a man handcuff ed while I was there ; he was barefooted and almost naked. His crime was ex changing four pounds of tobacco that he had raised himself, for calico and flannel to make clothes for hia babe, as he had no other means of providing for the wee stranger. Such proceedings as this is a disgrace to sny government. They are taking up a great many men on false charges and binding them to court Those who are guilty of viola tion of the law generally keep out of the way and the innocent suffer. I hope ’76 will bring a change to our sunny South, borne down as it is by oppression and carpet-baggers. I should like to hear Senator Norwood in a speech on our revenue laws. Our merchants are grumbling consid erably about hard times and scarcity of money. Mr Bryant is still teaching school with gbodly numbers and lively prospects. Heaven speed him in the work ; there is no nobler task than training immortal minds. Death does not pass us by. An in fant of 31 r. Pittman, the Morganton shoemaker, went from the sufferings of earth to the joys of heaven, day-belore yesterday. The fanners have been enjoying a short season of rest since crops were laid by, but they will soon be as busy as bees again saving their fodder, mak ing syrup and seeding. Then there will be the corn to gather and crib, and by that time rude Boreas will be around again, and they can sit by their fireside and quietly enjoy the fruits of their la bor. May Ebon. Letter from Starke County. Midville, 9£ C. 11. 11., ) Burke County, Ga., Sept. 3,1875. j Editor Calhoun Times: Thinking you might yield space in your valuable columus for a few jottings from this part of our glorious old State, I write you. Time and again since my depart ure from your town has this idea sug gested itself, but until now procrastina tion has had the upper hand. At this season 1 divine the most ap propriate theme will be the agriculture of this section. I have conversed with a number of planters from the sur rounding country within the last two or three days, and also with gentlemen liv ing in the city who have recently re turned from little jaunts to the coun try, and they all say that corn and cot ton ivas suffered terribly from the late drought and intense heat, and more par ticularly from the scissor-like western winds which have curled- to pig tails, and dried out all the moisture and sap from the toD limbs and leaves of the cotton plant, causing it to shed its leaves and partially matured fruit vich fearful rapidity. At this writing the clouds are hanging low. and the indications are that we will be refreshed with a de lightful shower. Peas, potatoes, etc., have suffeied in a corresponding degree from lack of seasons. From all quar ters come complaints, and on all sides are seen long faces. Although greatly damaged, our people are indeed thank ful that lie who ruleth the word of His His power has not put upon them a worse visitation, and it is to be hope! that an advance in the price of cotton will re munerate us for the loss in the crop. In concluding upon this subject, I hope the outlook is not so bad as some ap prehensions paint it. As to the health of the country, it is good, and in re gard to school advantages, I am proud to say old Burke is not behind her sis ter counties. Most of the schools have closed after their Spring terms with ex aminations creditable to both teacher and Dupil and have edmmeneed again under nattering prospects. For fear of having trespassed upon your columns I will close with a promise to write you again. Esc. Relics of Ancient War fare. The Moniteur del Armee says : Some workmen occupied at the chatead of Oonda, in Normandy, have just found some cannon balls of granite, probably thrown by the English when that cas tle was taken by them, in 1417. Those syheres were found, as might be sup posed, very defective projectiles, as they were on the spot or in the quarries, ana the exact weight could not be correctly judged ; the centre of gravity was, be sides, not always in the middle, con sequently neither the range nor the aim could be al <vays calculated with precision. They were for that reason fired from a great elevation. In 1428 a stone ball, discharged from the tower of Notre Dame, at Orleans, killed the Earl of Salisbury on the opposite side of the Loire. Some of these projectiles used during one memorable occasion are still preserved in the same city ; two of them measured over thirteen inches in diame ter, and their weight exceeds 200 pound s The journal of the siege of that battle relates in fact, that on the Ist of Decem ber,l42B,the English batteriesthrev balls against the town weighing nearly 200 pounds. On the 29th of January, 1429, Lancelot de Lisle, who commanded the English, had hii hand carried off" by a stone shot from the walls. The dresses of ladies will in futuie, in accordance with the latest Parisian fashions, be not only wonderful ly but fearfully made. The Paris correspondent of the Ware houseman and Draper's Journal strikes the note of warning as to what we are shortly to expect. Designs, it as stated, are “not only floral ! and geometric in their tendency, but zoological.” Exqui site brocades with lions, tigers and panthers, “mediaeval looking beasts” “that are by no means life-like in there proportions or coloring and far more nearly allied to the fab ulous caricatures in stone that decorate a Gothic cathedral than the savage den izens of a modern menagerie.” Artists, it seems, have also gone to museums and borrowed old heraldic devices with which to ornament the robes of ladies who value th eir personal appearance. Unicorns, winged hulls, and birds are used profusely. Oriental writing, the hieroglyphics of the ane’ent Egyptians, Persian arabesques, and Chinese and Japanese signs, are artistically conver ted into patterns. One design is mej - tioned as being “ peculiarly pretty ;” it is a scrawl studded here and there with keys some three inches long. There are at least thirty sorts of keys of differ ent epochs, capitally rendered. Or* all the pleasing novelties, however, which are being introduced there aie none to equal a design in which “various insects are introduced.” They tell a story in France about a young deputy who, being drawn into a duel and called upon to fight! with a pis tol, w r as extremely nervous and repeat edly said to his second : “My adversary will hit me, I know he will. I feel it in my bones.” “Nonsense,” said the second ; “your adversary never hitany thug in his life. He couldn’t hit the side of a house nor a flock of grave stones.” The duel came off, and the young deputy was hit and pretty badly wounded in the shoulder. While he was down in the grass, with the doctor bind ing up the wound, he said to the second pettishly : “Animal ! I told you he would hit me “Oh, well,” said the second coolly, “that was because you stirred ! n The Post office Department has re ceived information! that the Mississppi Valley and Brazil Steamship Company propose to run a line of steam packets from Sfc. Louis to Brazil, South Ameri ca, asking that the United States mail may be given to their line. The De partment will grant the request, and send the mail by their steamers, allow ing ocean rates of postage as remunera tion. They expect to start the first steamer October 1. Jacob Muller’s orphan asylum, an ex tensive instution in Bristol, England, is famous in that county for its reputation of having been founded and sustained by prayer. No contributions have ever been solicited, but when money has needed praying for it has been kept up. Disbelievers, of course, in judging of the efficacy of these prayers,take into account tbe fact that publicity si given to them. A terrible epidemic of ty phoid fever is now raging in the asy lum, killing many of the children, and Muller’s prayers seem to have no effect in stopping its ravages. The mistress of a summer boarding house in an interior town, finding her self one day quite at leisure, in conse quence of the absence of her patrons on an excursion, repaired to a neighbor’s for a chat “I should think you would feel lonesome to have your boarders away so,” said her neighbor. “Wall,” she replied, “I feel‘binder lonesome ; but it’s a lonesome. It seems j;ust as it did when T was fust a widder.” THE OLDEST HOUSE IN CALHOUN. lUsta/blisliecl 1857. NEW G OODS! NEW GOODS!
