Lmvs Relating to Newspaper Subscrip
tions and Arrearages.
• Subscribers who do not nice express nofirr to
the contrary, are considered wishing to con
tinue their subscription.
, If subscribers order the discontinuance oj
their periodicals,, the publishers may continue
to send them until all arrearages are paid.
. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
periodicals from the office to which they arc di
rected, they are held responsible until they have
settled their lulls and ordered them discontin
ued.
4. If subscribers move to other places without
notifying publishers, and the papers are 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.
1. If subscribers pay in advance, they arc 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 sul scribers will be respon
sible until an express notice, with payment of
all arrearages, is sent to the publisher ,

Cotton is coming into Rome rather
lively. Up to lost Friday about one
hundred and fifty bales of this year’s
crop had been sold.
Gov. Smith says the worst scoun
drels in th? country, and the men who
keep the negroes in a turmoil, are the
negro preachers, or at least a majority
of them, who, under the cloak of religion
instil into the minds of the colored men
notions of law, politics, civil rights, in
surrection, and a host of other things
which only makes them loafers and
thieves.
Tiie Crop Committee of National Cot*
ton Exchange issued their report on the
17th making the total crop for the year
ending September Ist, 1875, 3,825,845
bales, of which 2,674,443 bales were
rexported to foreign ports and 1,250,-
473 bales were taken to home spinners,
including 12G,550 bales net for South
ern consumption- r lhe sea island crop
was 16,687 bales, including 8,139 in
Florida. 1,074 in Georgia, 7,308 in
South Caro ina, ar.d 16G in Texas.
The average weight of crops was 46b
pounds per bale, and of the sea island
cotton 392 pounds pei bale.
N. G. Ordway, late Sergeant at~
Arms of the House of Representatives
and later member of the lower House
of the New Hampshire Legislature,
said in Washington the other day that
the tide was running very strong against
his party in his section of the Union,
had it not been for the desperate exer
tions of cx-Speaker Blaine, and some
very sharp practice on the part of the
Republican managers, the Democrats
would have swept the State by a hand
some majority. As it is, Ordway says
he believes the Radical majority will be
whittled down to about 2,000. The
Republican party is badly demoralized
in the East, and, in Mr, Ordway’s opin
ion, nothing less than a miracle can
save it from an utter overthrow in 1876.
lie believes, also, that Ohio and Fcnn
sylvania will go Democratic by very de
cided majorities.
Fitcilj of the Newnan Star, an old
hand at the business very sensibly puls it:
“ A newspaper is like a school in
many respects. To thrive, it must
have the active support and zealous en
couragement of the community in which
it lives. Not only should the people
patronize it, but they should drum for
it, and get others to patronize it. 'This
is what we ask of our N wnan frieuds,
an 1 please to boar in mind that as you
build up your local papers, you build
up yourselves and your town. The
money you pay the papers is all spent
with you, and more brought from a dis
tance and expended in your midst. So
that you are gainers in iver} way by
building up your home papers. ”
Gen. John 15. Gordon made a speech
at a big railroad meeting at Canton,
last week, in W’hich he said : “ Indus
trial progress was fast becoming the
prime objects rf the practical states
manship of the age, and he wished
Georgia to obtain whatever power le
gitimati ly results from the greatest de
velopment. We had a gieat State, and
if the map of tho world were spread
out before him, he would point to Geor
gia, and perhaps to North Georgia, as
the country he would select for hiss
children. We did not have the rich
prairies of Illinois, nor the alluvials of
tho Mississippi bottoms; but we have a
better country —can make more clear
money per acre, and do not breakfaston
pills, dine on chills and sup on fevers.
I thank God lor such a country. De
velop it, build your railroads; erect
your factories; feed them upon your
own corn and bacon ; get good govern
ment, federal as well as state ; vote the
lladicals out of power; strike down
their system of finance; cultivate a
broad patriotism , let peace reign be*
tween sections and races; and then we
eliall see this old Commonwealth radi
ant with hope, proud, grand and free,
and crowned with a boundless prosper-

An interesting record is that of se
vere droughts, dating back as far as the
landing of the Pilgrims. How many
thousand times are observations made
like the following: ‘‘Such a cold sea
son j” or “such wet weathersuch
high winds, or such calm, &c, &c. All
those who think the dry spell we had
last spring was the longest ever known,
will do well to read the following :
In the summer of 1651, 24 and ys in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1630, 41 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1656, 75 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1658, 80 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1675, 45 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1689, 81 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1694,62 days in

In the summer of 1705, 40 days in

In the summer of 1715, 45 days in

In the summer of 1720, 61 days in

In the summer of 1730, 92 days in

In the summer of 1741, 72 days in

It will be seen that the longest drought
that ever occurred in America was in
the summer of 1762. No rain fell from
the first of May to the first of Septem
ber, making 123 days without rain.

Concealed Weapons.
Judge Underwood, in his charge to
the Grand Jury o*' Chattooga county,
Ga., on the 9th inst., spoke as follows
on the offense of carrying concealed
weapons :
My deliberate judgment is, that
more than one half the homicides in
this State, result directly from the
shameful violation of this law. The
blood of the slain cries out from the
ground and urges the enforcement of
this law. Human life is held too cheap,
and blood flows like water. lloW often
is this law violated ? Can you not find
out by diligent inquiry ? Men go
through the country loaded down with
these instruments of death. Some of
them are walking and riding arsenals,
thoughtless persons wearing these arti
cles cf destruction concealed. No one
has a right to carry arms at a place of
divine service or worship, even open
ly, or at a court of • justice. Are we
afraid ? Afraid to execute this law ?
I urge you to rise in your power, vin
dicate the majesty and supremacy of
the law. I solemnly believe and declare
that the great interest of the people de
mand the faithful enforcement of all
the laws of the land, civil and criminal.
The richest legacy we can leave to
posterity would be the faithful enforce
ment of all laws of the land. If we set
the example, and it is followed by those
who come after us, crime will cease in
our midst, good order will prevail, and
Christian civilization will make a march
unprecedented in this age.
The Financial Issue.
Gen. Ewing, of Ohio, puts the mat
ter very forcibly in a few words as fol
lows ;
“ Tho enemies of the greenback are
those who deny its character as money,
and talk of it as though it was a dis
honored bond for the payment of mon -
ey ; who ignore the fact that no human
being ever took it as a promise to pay,
but that everybody takes it solely because
it is equal with gold, the money of our
constitution and laws ; because it pays
all debts, exchanges for all values, does
everything that gold can do in all the
varied business of life except only pay
ing duties on imports. To W’rest this
acceptable constitutional currency from
the people, as the Republican leaders
promise to do by their resumption law
—pile up four hundred millions more
of bonded debt; to shrink the preseut
volume of currency to the little measure
of bank currency which can under pres
ent conditions be kept redeemable in
gold, immolate the business of the coun
try on tho altar of specie payment —
were a crime against civilization, for
which the party attempting to do it
will go down amid the execration of an
impoverished people.”
Money is no doubt a question of
great dignity and moment ; but a free
government rises to a higher pitch of
merit. It therefore behooves all the
pcoplo wno have recoiled in disgust
from Grant and Grantism to unite in
support of Democratic principles, what
ever views they may entertain on the
financial question. First let us make
sure that we have a country worth bein'?
concerned about; and then we may con
cern ourselves as to what kind of cur
rency its people may circulate.-^- Peters

A 4a It Tor nia C’itj One Mumlrcd
Eighty Thousaud Years
Old.
In the current number of the Over
land Monthly a California geologist re
views the geological evidence of the an
tiquity of a human settlement near the
town Cherokee in that State, and es
timates the age of that most ancient of
discovered towns to be uot less than
185,000 years !
The traces in question are numerous
stone mortars, found in undisturbed
white and yellow gravel of a subaque
ous formation, uot fluviatile, underlying
the vast sheets of volcanic rock of which
Table Mountain is a part. In one in
stance a mortar was found standing up
right, with the pestle in it, appearenily
just as it had been left by its owner.
In some cases the mortars have been
found at the dep f h of foity feet from
the surface of the gravel underlying
Table Mountain. The ditribution of
the mortars is such as to indicate with
great positiveness the former existence
of a human settlement on that ancient
beach when the water stood near the
level at which they occur ; a time an
terior to the volcanic outpouring which
Table Mountain records, and anterior to
the glacial epoch.
The recent geological history of that
region may be briefly summed as fol
lows : Previous to the placing of the
mortars in the position in which they
were found.the early and middle tertiary
sea level had receded to the position of.
the coal beds unde lying Table Moun
tain, fully one thousand feet below the
level of Cherokee. Subsequently, in the
pliocene period, there was a further
subsidence of about fifteen hundred
feet, something like six hundred feet
occurring after the mortars had been
abandoned. All this, as has been noticed,
took place before the volcanic outflows
which covered up all the ancient detri
tus of the region, including
that of the ancient rivers (whose gravels
have furnished so much of the gold of
California ) The geological age of the
river period was determined by Eesque
reux from specimens of vegetation,now
extinct, collected in the survey of the
ancient rivers; specimens indicating a
flora of the pliocene age,retaining some
characteristic forms.
A f'ter the volcanic period the land
rose again, the time of emergence em
bracing the glacial period and the new
eroding period in the sierra, during
which the slates, and the hard metamor
phic greenstones, and the granites were
slashed with canons three thousand feet
deej by the action of the ice and run
ning water. Taking the rates of conti
nental movement determined by Lyell,
our geologist calculated that the time
required for the chandcs thus outlined
could rot have been less than eighteen
hundred centuries. For a period so
long preceding the glacial epoch as the
time when ancient Cherokee was buried
by the waters of the advancing sea, his
estimate is certainly not extravagant,
though it does transcend so enormously
the time men have been accustomed to
allow for a residence on earth.— Scien

How a Sewing Maefiiue Agent was
Treated.
The usully quite viPage of Leesporty
on the line of tho Philadelphia and
Heading railroad, eight miles above the
city, h .s had a sensation which has caus
ed a great deal of amusement. A Head
ing sewing machine agent induced the
head of a family there to take a machine
and pay for it in monthly installments.
Before the machine was entirety paid
for the husband and father died The
widow was in destitute circumstance*,
with hal f- a dozen children, and" unable
to pay the balance owing on the ma
chine. when the agent came around to
take the machine away She was de
termined that he should not remove the
machine until he had handed back at
least some of the money that had been
paid on it by her husband. He was
apparently just determined to secure the
nachine without returning any of the
filthy lucre, insulted the woman, and
endeavored to take by force what he
said belonged to the compiny by reason
of fhe payment of monthly installments
having been stopped. While the agent,
was inside the house she locked both
the front and back doors, put the keys
in her dress pocket, and being a robust
woman “went for” the agent. She took
hold of him and a severe and prolonged
tussle ensued, whist the children were
frightened and cried and screamed
The widow threw the agent over the
hot kitchen stove, and finally succeeded
in sitting him down on top of it and
h Id him there, when he begged pit
eoosly for mercy—“ For God’s sakes let
me go, and I’ll pay you back every cent
vour husband paid me.” Being satis
fied that he was badly scorched, if not
partly roasted, she pulled him of! the
stovo, but held him unfi Ihe had paid
back every cent of the installments, and
she gave him two minutes, time to take
the machine away ! The name of tho
plucky woman, and also that of the
agent, are withheld by special request.
Premiums on Wheat.
Editor Commercial: This being the

premium for the best acre of wlvat, to
be raised in 1876, only such fertilizers to
be used as are made on the farm I
suggest for the best acre, $550 ; second
best, $l5O ; third best, SIOO. Entries

Somebody wrote the editor of a coun
try paper to ask how he would “ break
an ox The editor answered as fol
lows: “If only one ox, a good way
would be to hoist him, by means attach
ed to hi.s tail, to the top of a pole forty
feet from the ground. Then hoist him
by a rope tied to his horns, to another
p de. Then descend on his back a five
tun pile driver, and, if that don’t break
him, let him start a country newspaper
and trust people for subscription. One
of the two ways will do it sure.”
