so. The opinion is by Judge Sullivan.
Here again he stood for the interests
Of the people.
In State VS.. Frank, 50 Nep. 800, the
supreme court was asked to hold that
the law fixing the salary of the clerk
OF the district court in certain counties
and requiring all fees over and above
the salary and expenses Of the office
t. be paid into the county treasury
was void. The court refused to do so
III an opinion written by judge Sulli-
van, which can be found 60 Neb. 355.
Here against the Judge took his posi-
ton in behalf of the people and
against privileged class The enor-
nous income derived by clerks of the
district courts of large counties under
the fee system together with many
Uf the petty expressions Of Of which the
clerks were guilty in the collection OF
their fees, was a matter of constant
complaint A large lobby was en-
pl0yed by the clerks to prevent the
passage of the bill. The lobby failed,
the clerks then asked the court to do
what the lobby could not do.
This opinion is also worthy of note
because it shows that Judge Sullivan is
not only just man and learned
Judge, but a ma of good literary at
tainments The following extract
from the opinion shows this:
"The sheet containing the record
of the vote on House Roll 251, the
bill here in question, indicates that
some other paper was once fastened
to it 18th pin. The other paper,
which, according to the evidence,
showed the yea and nay vote, is
gone; the pin has disappeared and
counsel for respondent insist that
the law has gone with it. And these
things, says Victor Hugo, in Les
Miserables, took place, and the
the master of Europe was put in
cage, and the old regime became the
new, and the light and the shadows
of the earth changed places, because,
on the afternoon of a summer day a
peasant boy said to Prussian in
wood, go this way, and not that.
Those were momentouS conse-
quences of trivial and common
place event; but If we were to adopt
the views of counsel for respondent,
we would have in this state a con-
dition Of affairs capable of produc-
ing at any time, and likely to pro-
.duce at some time, a situation which
would exhibit almost as striking a
disproportion between cause and eff
feet If counsel are right in their
contention, then our most important
statutes are liable to be annulled by
the accidental displacement of pin;
municipal bonds may be invalidated
and men may lose their property
and their liberty; divorces may
prove worthless and marriages may
become null and children be bast-
ardized, because some clerk, charged
with the duty of journalizing legis-
lative proceedings, has by mis-
chance used mucilage instead of
PASTE The doctrine is monstrous;
its acceptance is unnecessary and
might prove disastrous"

GOOD TIMES IN COFFEE.
Farmers VIII Make n surplus of
Food and Feed Crops.


Douglas, Ga. Sept 15.-Since the
afternoon of the 18th inst continuous
rains, accompanied by brisk winds,
have prevailed in Douglas and vi
cinity. While the rain was badly
needed. it with wind has greatly dam
aged open cotton.
1t is conceded By well-posted farm
ers that Coffe county will make a sur
plus of food and feed crops, including
bacon. Hogs are plentiful, with a.
superabundance of peas, potatoes,
ground peas, and chufas to fatten
them. Very few isolated ceases of
hog cholera are reported, and that is
being stamped out by judicious treat
ment and separation.
Sheriff Sutherland has captured in
another county and has safely behind
the bars, Will Holloway, a convict
who escaped from Coffee's gang about
seven years ago.
On next Saturday, the 10th, Douglas
will have an election for floating $780,
600 city bonds for the purpose of put
ting in the much-needed system of
waterworks and electric lighting plant

GREEN DECLARES THAT
HIS LIFE is SOUGHT.

Says Brothers of His Victim Have
offered Money for 1t.
Augusta, Sept. 15.-Some weeks ago
a peddler Abram Surasky, was killed
by Lee Green, a citizen of Aiken coun-
ty, who is now in the Aiken Jail await
ing trial for the crime. Green's de-
Tense is that on returning to his home
he found the peddler in his house, at
tempting to violate the sanctity of his
home, and shot him.
To-day Lee Green publishes a card,
in which he declares he has been
threatened with lyinching and asks pro-
lection both against violence and the
prejudging of his case.
He accompanies his communication
with an affidavit from Arthur P.
Glover, one of the officers who cap
tured him, in which Glover alleges
that he has been offered 5000 by Sam
uel Surasky, a brother of the dead
peddler, if he would lead a lynching
mob to take Green out of Jail, and that
B. NJ. Surasky, another brother, has
offered $3.50 to Glover for the dead body
of Green.

Some of the Perry razors have stories and
traditions twined about them which heighten
their value in their owners eyes. One is said
to have shaved the chin of Napoleon having
been picked up on the field Of Waterloo. where
it was found in the deserted baggage of the
French Emperor. It was made by Shepherd,
and was discovered by the collector in a New
York pawnshop. For certain reasons how

T7cO Connecticut Men Haze Mdny
Curious Blades.

There are TWO men in Southport, Conn, who
have the razor fad. There is a good deal Of
rivalry between them. though ii has not yet
come TO clash Of weapons. The reason IS that
the two men have become adopts not so much in
welding razors as in collecting them, study
ing their material. telling their age as farmer
does that of a horse by its teeth. and relating
stories of who used them. OF how they were OBJ
tanned from some distant country strange
civilization.
The two Southport razor connoisseurs are II.
H Perry and Francis p. Sherwood The first
prides himself being the Father Of Razor
Collectors" while the second. although con-
Tossing he first obtained the idea from Mr..
Perry nevertheless believes that he has q
superior collection. Mt Perry has four
hundred razors, while MI Sherwood fall
back one hundred and fifty, including some
extremely rare blades
The members of the Perry family were not
only good shavers when young. but when grown
men as well. SO many razors lay about his
house that. eight years ago. Mr.. Perry cut
himself with the idea Of making a collection
of razors. Accordingly he asked all his Tela-
tives to send him old razors, and he had
obtained large number. Many of these razors
have a family history. one shaved his grand
father. and another scraped off the first down
from his fathers chin.
But the family collection only sharpened Mr.
PerTy's ambition Every razor he got seemed
to whet his desire for more. Mr.. Perry then
began visiting pawnshops in this city, Boston,
New-Haven, Hartford ana Bridgeport, and
whenever he saw d in q window within
the shadow Of the emblem OF St Nicholas he
would ask TO examine it, and would, in most
instances buy it for few cents. When Mr.
Perry and his wife went abroad last fall he
continued his hunt for razo-s and drove many
a sharp bargain with European cutlery deal
ers and curio merchants. Mrs. Perry also
began to take keen interest in razors, al
