REDrsTRrcTrNG THE STATE.

Just ct this time, the press are
discussing the propriety and wisdom
of redistricting the State. The only
reason urged against it is the ex-
pense Of the extra session of the
Legislature. Az it would require
the same expense, except mileage,
at any other time, we can see no
just cause for postponing it for
another Legislature to do. Reds
tricIiug must take place under the
new apportiOnment bill at some time
and we think the present year
the most appropriate. 1t would
prevent scramble that we all wish
to obyia,e. The State Constitution
debars all legislation except only
upon the subject as would have TO be
specified in the Governors procla
nation converting the Legislature in
extra session, consequently the Leg,
islature would have to adjourn az
ter trsnsacting the particular bust
ness for which it was called to-
gether. The districts at present are
in ca awkward shape and numerical
~ out Of proportion, Therefore, with
the lights before us, we are 10 favor
of conveaing the Legislature and re-
districting the State at once.

THE LIQUOR LAW.

Comptl oller- G eneral Wright has
Just flashed sending out blank books
to the ordiuaries and tax collectors
of the various counties in the state,
to be uaed 10 carrying out the law
passed by the last Legislature, re-
curing liquor dealers to register
The law is not generally known of
among saloon,keepers. 1t requires
that after the frat day of April, 1882
sellers OF liquor shall, before enga~
ging in business, register their
names with the ordinary OF the coun
Ity in which they propose to carry
on business. A special book is kept
for that purpose. It is then made
che duty of the ordinary to- notify
the tax collector Of his county and
the 1compiroller-gensral of the state
of the registration f; and the comp
troler lie required to keep register
of tho same. The tax collector is
also required to keep a record of the
name of the liquor dealer When
the register is made the dealer is re~
quired to at once pay to the tax
coIiecter the entire years.. tax, and
tho law provides that a failure to
pay the tax or to register is punish
able as q mis6emeanor. The tax
collector is required .c give Informs
ton against the offender, and his
failure to do SO makes it the duty of
the comptroller general to proceed
against him for the amount due by
the defsulting liquor dealer. The
books, are furnished by the comp j
trollera general to the ordinaries and
tax collectors. The tax collectors
are to make quarterly reports to the
general and remit to the
state treasurer. The act does not-
relieRe saloon keepers from tie oper
ations of United States laws or local
laws. The grand iuries of the coun-
ties are required to examine the reg
listers, and 20 indict offenders. One
dollar is the Ordinary's registration
fee.

THE Southern people are born imi-
tators. Just because several cotton
seed oil mills have made money,
every Georgia town, with a news
paper, is organizing cotton seed OIL
min. If there was aOy profit in the
business at FIRST, it will all soon be-
wiped out by over production, if
every mill organized were to go to
work. Whenever q Southern man
sees his neighbor making money at
one thing, be immediately turns loose
everything else aud goes at that
thing. We want diversified pursuits.
Don't let all rush sfter one thing,
like sheep following bell wether.-
If one Southerner makes money on
grapes, all of his neighbars follow
sui. and plant vineyards. Let your
neighbor alone With his grapes, and
suppose you try peaches, If hs
makes money on cotton, then do you
try CON- DcKGb Mars.

REPUTA

A mans reputation, like his coat
may be soiIed without touching the
man himself, since the reputation il
not the character, any more than
tho sleeve is the arm it envelopes
The character can be soiled only BY
what the man himself does, while
the reputation may have mud thrown
upon it by any wretch unmanly
enough to want to injure the stand
ing Of another. We are to see that
our motives are pure, our principles
honorable, and our outward life gov
orned by them, and to go about our
duty calmly, confident that, in the
end, they who urjustly seek to in>
lure us will do US no harm.
