SEC. L. Be itenGcted by the Legislature ofthe
State Of Missisiippi. That the act of the Legis-

of February, A. d. 1912, entitled an act to pre-

it shall be the duty of said Sheriff or other proper
Offices to give notice Of such sale, for. the

PUBLIC SALES.

We publish elsewhere an act passed at the
late Session of the Legislature, requiring the
Sheriff 10 give notice in weekly newspaper of
his county of the sales of all kinds of property
under execution. or decree. 1t is a good law,
says the Vicksburg Whig, (and we are strongly
inclined TO the same opinion for both creditor
and debtor, but especially for the unfortunate
debtor. Since the law of posting has been in
force in this State, we know that an immense
amount of property has been sacrificed, because
the time and place of sales were known only to
the few spectators, who made a business of in
specting regularly the ''posting boards s"-men
who are prepared to purchase valuable property
whenever it is exposed TO sale, and to make it
bring az fair price do not, as general thing.
have the time or opportunity of inspecting the
posting boards, and therefore rarely ever know
when public sale of property is to be made,
unless they meet with a notice of such sale in
the public journals. To make property bring
its value there must be purchasers, and it is
idle and ridiculous to say that as many purcha-
sers viii attend sale of which notice has only
been posted up in two or three places in the
county, and probably pulled down the next
hour, as there will be at a sale of which full
notice is given. The official sales, under the
posting system, are private. forced sales, where
valuable property is sacrificed; but under the
public advertising system, they are public sales.
and fair sales, at which property brings its full
value, because they are generally known. and
purchasers are attracted. We are glad to find
by the passage Of this act, that the Legislators
Of this State have at last discovered that news
papers are not only beneficial to politicians and
political asyirants, but are necessary as medi-
ums Of general intelligence and information,
and to protect the property of citizens from
sacrifice.

TIE CLOSING SPEECH OF SENATOR DOUGLAS
The argument ON the Nebraska bill in the SEN
ate, was brought to close by Senator Douglas.
The Washington Union thus notices it:
"Senator Douglas followed in the greatest
speech of his life. He spoke for more than
three hours in reply to the adversaries of his
bill. No one slept while he spoke. He took
his opponents up one by one, answering every
objection with skill and an effect before which
they could make no head. Even those who had
observed and appreciated the intellect of the
Senator from Illinois on other occasions, were
surprised at this exhibition of logic and genius
on Saturday morning. We have vainly endeav-
ored to recall the numerous striking points of a
speech SO useful in its facts and in its figure.
and so inspiring in its vigorous and surprising
eloquence.
