FUN AHEAD.
The Pruning Knife to be Held up In
County Court.


A Promised Whaok at suPsrnumer.
aries-Judge Ferriss on the war
Path.
There is a bare possibility that the ses-
sion Of the County Court this week will
be marked by some lively tits. Several of
the members think the court has formed
some bad habits and intend making a Wig
OTous effort to break them up. They say
they don't mean anything but retreneh-
men., however, and make the following
points
l. That the Courthouse Committee
consisting Of three members, receiving a
salary Of $50 each per annum, ought to be
dispensed with, because not authorized by
law and because useless. The laws of the
State, it is claimed, provide for
this committee only in case
new courthouse or county jail is to
be built. 1t can have no other
duty but to superinteRd the erection Of such
building.
The Courthouse Committee has been in
the habit of employing janitOr at a salary
of $1,000 to $1,000 per annum. Judge
FERRIS has employed Tom Robertson, col
Orej, to take the position at four hundred
dollars. If another Courthouse Com
mittee be appointed, they may undertake
TO annal this action Of Judge Ferriss.
Williams, the present JanitOr, has been in
charge Of the courthouse for several years.
he claims that Judge FERRIS had no right
to remove him, aud expresses determine
ton to stay until the County Court acts in
the matter. The indications are that there
will be lively fight over it tomorrow.
2. That the Pest-house Committee, con
sisting Of three members, receiving $50
each per annum, should be abolished, and
the pest-SOuse itself made over to the city.
Besides, a physician for the pest
house was employed nearly two years ago
at 81 200 per annum, and has been
retained at that salary ever since,
notwithstanding there was not patient in
the pest-hOuse during 1874. A member Of
the committee on this institution has made
arrangements with a certain party to bury
the dead that are sent there, for the use Of
the buildings, and expects to rent the
grounds out.
8. That the Road Committee is useless,
because, under recent legislation, poWerleSs,
and, therefore, that, its salary, aggre-
eating Sl5O per annum, ought to be dis
pensed with.
4. That the railroad commissioners, four
in number, also drawing $50 per annum,
each, should be discontinued, because
the day of their usefulness is long
passed. It is argued that this |
commission was created for a specific /
to sell the Edgefeld and |
Kentucky railroad, which was done in
1872.
The above are, briefly, the matters which
the magistrates viii be called upon to put /
in their pipes and smoke.

A COHMENDABLE PROJECT.
