TIE FEE SYSTEM.

The Clarke county grand jury has
recommended that Dill be passed
through the legislature placing coun-
ty officers and court officials upon sal
aries, and that all fines and forfeitures
be turned into the county treasury.
This grand jury takes the lead in a
movement that will soon become gen
eral and bring about the change de-
sired.
The fee s. stem is one that is quite
difficult TO regulate so that equal JUS
tice will be done all officers, and is
one that is unsatisfactory to the peo-
pie. In some instances it does not
provide sufficient compensation, while
in others 1t oyerpays. Fixed salaries
would obviate these injustces, and we
believe would guarantee better service
and pay some money into the public
treasury besides.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY,
Queen Vic as a Humanitarian

From tie Wayuesboro True Citizen,
One Of the most curious features OF
sentimentalism seems to have broken
out in America over the famine IN
Great Britian's India possessions The
curious part is this country is to sup
mort the famine stricken districts OF
British India while Great Britain
spends several million dollars a wee K
destroying q brave little republic u
South Africa. Looking upon this from
a fin de seicle point of view it is really
unaccountable and the question nat
urGlIy arises, where does Queen FicIo-
ria stand as humanit&rlan:

GEORGIA GLEANlNGS.

A most romantic marriage occurred
Thursday afternoon at Butler. when
Mr. D. H. Cooper, a prominent cotton
buyer of Fort Valley, was joined in
wedlock to Miss Nettie Smith of But
Ter. The bride has been seriously i'll
for some weeks-her condition being
declared critical by attending phvsi-
clans. The ceremony was performed at
her bedside.
A candidate who was defeated in the
recent primary in Randolph county
announces that he will be candidate
two wears hence. He evidently appre-
ciates the adage about the early worm,
as well as the one, ''if at first you don t
succeed" etc.
The supreme court of Georgia has
rendered decision declaring the en-
ierant agent act, which requires every
emigrant agent in the state to pay a
license of $500 to do business, is con-
stitutiOnal.
1t is said that there will be 5000
cars Of peaches shipped from Georgia
the present season. At the present
rates that means S75. 900 for the rail-
roads and refrigerator car companies.
Muscogee county insolvent tax list
for the current fiscal year, including
both state and county, is only 500 AS,
the smallest ever known.
Fort Valley will have an ice fac
tory in operation in time to handle
this seasons fruit crop.
From reports the peach crop of
the state will be exceptionally large.

A Success as a Baby Raiser.

From the Oglethorpe Echo.
Protective tariff is surely an excep-
tional baby raiser when it can in few
wears produce such a healthy infant as
the Carnegie-Frick steel enterprise
that brings in an income to one of its
owners larger than the salary of any
monarch on earth. And there are
other such babies. Isn't it about time
the general public needs some incuba-
ton?

gencer, with some amusement. tingleo
with indignation, an ill-tempere1 ana de-
cidedly bilious effusion from the pencil
Of the comparatively strange city editor
Of that pretending newspaper, finding
fault in an erratic way with the Regis
ter's dissemination to endorse a hair
Drained scheme for arching Wheeling
creek within the city limits. The late D.
NJ. Carey is. | regret TO say. no longer
on earth. and his evidence at first hands
IS not obtainable. And for one, | dis
tnctly decline to accept any Intelligent
Ger Versi@n of his ideas.
That it would be possible to arch over
Wheeling creek, were money no consid-
GRAFTON, is. of course. true. But to carry
out such a project as far as Baker street
would cost, approximately. 5000 per lineal
foot, or about four million dollars. while
TO extend the work 10 the city limits
would add at least three millions more.
And this purely for excavation and ma
sonry. Other considerations aside. the
element Of cost settles the matter. either
for the general public or a private corpor-
alton.
OF course, the eminent and consequent
