The practice of sending home capital
to further enrich already wealthy and
plethoric Northern corporations is about
played out. Every cent fro have we
need right here, and more too. Millions
of dollars are sent North evoy year for
tho single item of life insurance?all of
which could he iu'vosted hero to the
groat advantage of every interest oi
our section?both commercial and
agricultural.
Entertaining thoso views wo were very
glad to Bee in Town last week, Col. A.
It. Waring and Jas. H. Randall, Esq.,
who visited us in the interest of the
Southern Life Insurance Association,
one of the staunchest and most reliable
Insurance Companies in the South.
These gem lernen wrote policies for
some of our leading oitizous, by whom a
meeting was called and local Trustees
elected to look after the interests of the
Company in this County.
We desire to call particular attention
to their advertisement which appears in
another column.

AUDITOR'S OfPlCB?
The following will givo some idea of
the amount of labor annually performed
iri live TJetmty Anditot's Office ;
1st. Tlrerc afe abortt seven thousand
tax-rrayoVx in this County, whose re*poc
tives "auntes haVc'to bo ttart^tfWd three
separate firms before tbe payment of
tax cm ,cctiitW!rfce&.
2d4 The real and personal property's
catered in items, ah I tho valfto oi' each'
item is entered in designated coin.mi*
opposite eae** taxpayer's name, the last
column showing the total auiouut of thu
different items of real property and
their values.
3d. The "Auditor's duplicate" con
j tains sixty columns to oaoh taxpayer's
name Which are filled by the various
kinds of property and the ditfjreut tax
levies, such us State, County, School tax
Jbo.
-Ith. In making up Ute books prcpara
tery to collecting taxe?, forty five
columns is an average number requited
for tho name of each taxpayer, aud when
it is considered that these ?aCriefi ha?'e to
be three times made it will bo readily
seen that the labor mast be im
mense. Nor is this half. Now com ;s
the work of adding up and correctly
footing each 'column, making out four
separate kinds of tux agniust oach tax
payer, and fealauci-ig the amount of as-,
sessmeuts, with reference to tbe various
tux levies.
6th. The County Auditor is c* officio
Secretary of tlio Hoard of E puliza
tion aud has to perform the clerical
..ork of that Board, which is uddiug to,
or taking from, each item of property
as the Hoard may direct, and is equal,
in amount of labor, to makiug the
original assess in out. Iu addition to
these services he has to make the assess
meufc of the real and personal property
in tho County for which he receive*
?1000. This work formerly required 24
assessors at an expeuse of between 930 ?0
and $4000.
Beside performing all theso ardujus
duties he serves without compensation
as a member of tho Board of Jury Com ?
missioners, and does a hundred aud one
other things incident to tho office.
James Van Tassel, 3<q., our present
County Auditor, has occupied that im
portant effico since the lall of 1868,
except for a short interval of five
months, and we know of no person in
tbe County better fitted for the position
The new postal law, which goes into
Operation on the first day of next month.,
prevents the free trans utssiot of news
paper exchanges, and compels tho pay*
meat of postage upon newspapers, oven
wlvon published in the county within
which the subscriber resides. Lette:t
addressed to initials, or to a bey, are not
obliged to be delivered by the postmas
ters. These points arc worthy tbe
attention or our readers.

tin; course of a spicy article, answering
tho question, the Mobile Register says:
"If any man affects to believe that adver
tisoments are not read, let him advertise
that he wants to buy a dog, for iustance.
If he is not furnished with every variety
of animated sausage that morning before
breakfast, and, besides, with.one or two
Sound grounds for suits against him for
assault we will break our golden rule nod
deadhead his advertisement. And it is
fair to infer that any man who wants to
sell a dog aho wishes to buy something
with tho proceeds of his canine venture.
Aud so up to the man who wishes to sell
his cargo, that he may buy a cargo of
Western produce."
DisoTBION About Deuts.?The Su
preme Court of Tennosseo has rendered
a decision which aunouuees a now rule
in regard to acknowledgments of debt.
Heretofore it has been accepted as law
that, where a payment hud been ma le
upon a note, such payment took the in
strument out of the statute of limitations.
According to tho late decision, no note
can now be collcotcd after six years, on
tho ground that partial payment bus bee n
mode. The payment is to be considered
as an acknowlcdgmen pro tan(ot aad
not for the entire debt.
