FEE INSTEAD OF SALARY.

Yazoo county has sprung new
question and the idea is at least dis
cnssion.
A gentleman living in that county
saws that the blind tiger element in
Yazoo City is very strong and that
the tigers are numerous. The best
citizens of the city. desiring to break
up the tigers have formed league
and are now hunting down the beasts.
The idea this gentleman advances is
to put the district attorney on the
fee plan and allow him fee for every
conviction, the fee to come out of the
pockets of the man convicted. BY
this means he believes that the blind
tigers will be speedily broken up, for
besides the inducement with large
fee tied TO it he would do little 6e-
tectiye work ON his own account and
thus run down many blind tigers
which the officers cannot find. This
plan would make every other lawyer
in the district run for Office, and thus
men get into control of the office who
would not abuse their privilege and
lower the dignity of the office. 1t is
claimed that the office of district at
torney in this state used to be on the
fee system, but the system was af-
forwards abandoned. There must
have been a cause for the abandon
ment of ii and the same cause would
prevail again should the fee system
again be adopted. 1t is also stated
that SEINE district attorneys became

Is is stated that already the hotels
in New Orleans are full to overflow
ing and that evsa men considered
millionaires have to hunt private
boarding houses And yet Rex will
not arrive before Monday. Perhaps
in the carnivals held in Ncw Orleans
this is the largest attended. People
have been s1ing down there from
some of the northern states for
months, while thousands of others en-
gagged rooms at the hotels long before
the date when the carnival was to
open. 1t is a great treat with the
northern people to come south while
the blasts are raging in their section
and freezing the horns off their goats,
and months before the opening of
the carnival they are ready to make a
move for a warmer climate and enjoy
month or two Of sunshiny days
among the lilies and DAISIES of the
south, and among the most hospita-
Bile people on earth.

rich of the fees thus collected, which
only tends to prove further that there
was something wrong with the fee
system. If they got rich then they
would soon become millionaires now,
for in those days there was no such
thing as blind tigers and conse-
quently no fees were received from
them.
1t would be well to discuss both
sides of this question before the fee
system is adopted.

Roasted City Attorney for Dlsmissing
Case of Vasrancy.

At the session of police court yes.
terday afternoon somewhat heated
controversy arose between City Al
torney Hepburn aud Chief of Police
Reynolds, because Of the dismissal of
a case preferred against a young man
charged with vagrancy. Several wit
nesses had been subpoeneed and were
present in the court room when, after
a conference between City Attorney
Hepburn and County Attorney Nc
Guire, the defendant's attorney, the
city attorney asked for dismissal Of
the case. which was ordered by Police
Judge Olsmith, It is reported that the
chief Of police then demanded the
reason Of the dismissal which was
briefly stated by the city attorney fo
lowed by an argument between these
two city officials. The discussion.
which was a heated one, lasted sew
eralminu.es The case, however, re
mained as ordered by Judge olsmith.
