CUT DOWN THE FEES.
Chatham Record.

Ihe Legislature Wnen IT
meets is expected to do much
more than it, or any other
Legislature, can do. But
one thing it can do. and that
is reduce some of the fees now
paid to our officers. This is
wherein ourfusi0n Legislators
most signally failed TO DO
their duty and to fulfil their
oft-repeated promises.
Everybody remembers one
of the lavorite ca mpaign cries
Of the socalled "reformers"
was the promise to "reduce
all fees and salaries to- CORES
pond with the low prices of
farm products" They com
planned loudly that our pub
lie officials were receiving as
much for their work as they
ever did, while the farmers
were not receiving over h"l'
as much for their work. But
when these pretended "re-
formers got the power to
keep thier promise, they sig
nally failed to do so, and did
not reduce any fees or salar-
les.
Now, while the members uf
our Democratic Legislature
did not make any such prem
ises in the last campaign, yet
we would impress upon them
the propriety of carefully con
sidering the fees allowed all
our public officers and rednc-
ing all that seem proper to
reduce. And there is no
ioubt that many fees ought
to be reduced. A special com
mittee on the reduction of
fees and salaries ought to be
appointed by the Legisla.
lature ana our present. fee.
bills carefully scanned so that
proper reduction may be
made.
We will not here attempt
to call attention to all the
fees that ought to be reduc-
ed, but will cite one or two
in order to show the propri-
ETY.. If not necessity, of this
important matter being care
fully considered by our legis-
lators. Take as an illnstra-
tion the Office OF register Oi
deeds, which is one OF the best
paying Offices in every coun.
ty. Among the tat fees re
ceived by the register is %
cents for every order issued
by the county commission
ers, without regard to the a
mount of the order. For in

DEAR SIR:-Your letter OF
the 18th inst. is at hand. As
YOU are not held by anybody
to be either a philosopher or
statesman, | cannot comp!-
ment you either on your men
tai balancing power or your
knowledge of politics. How
ever, We all know you are
over in our pasture for the
grass you can get, and we
will rest rOntented with that.
[ have delayed answering
your letter to recover from
\the violent shock caused by
the weighty words of wisdom,
My information is that the
1,20O people whom you claim
to have met you went out to
meet Col. Boyd, who was OK
pected to speak. The people
were very much disappointed
at his failure to appear. That
they did not mob you was
not because they didn't fee
like it, but because, as Re
publicans, they are the ''sal,
0f the earth," and would dc
nothing to reflect on thei1
party.
