II Senator Alice cannot build up a
following for himself in the Republican
party of Delaware with the unusual
amount of Federal offices that the Presi-
dent is placing at his disposal, Federal
patronage is no aid in furthering the
distributor ambition. 1t must be
powerful gratifying to the du Points and
to the remnant of Addicks followers to
see j. Frank handing round the plums
to his friends. How delighted Curry,
Pennewill, the Lingos, Secretary Of State
Cahall and other valiant fighters of Union

stood that the ex-senator has some apt

MONEY REFUNDED.
Had Been Drawing Pay for Road
Inspection.


Pensacola, March 3.--County COM
mlssioners Of Florida, and especially
OF this coun try are somewhat nom
plussed over a recent ruling of the
state auditor and orders from the
governor, regarding the salaries they
shall receive. The ruling of the au-
ditor is to the effect that no county
commissioner shall receive more than
800 per year, no matter what duties
he may perform, as the laws of the
state cover this point very clearly.
AS a result number of the commits,
sloners of this county have been
called upon by the governor to make
good the amounts they collected in
excess OF this amount during the
past year, and all have complied.
The commissioners propose to carry
the matter to the courts, however.
to get a ruling upon the same. Here.
tofore, the various county commits.
sioners, when assigned TO look after
road work, building bridges, ETC.,
charged at the rate of g. per diem
with mileage, also making the same
charge for attending meetings Of the
board They are now in somewhat
Of dilemma as to how TO proceed,
as they are compelled to continue
supervising the work being done in
their districts, and the 800 allowed
per year will no more than cover the
cost of mileage and per diem for at.
tending meeting. Some of them
continue the law to mean that the
500 per year is intended for attend-
ing meetings and that all actual ex.
penses in travelling about districts
should be betrayed by the county.
Not only has the governor called for
a settlement from the present mems
bers of the board, but also from the
old board, which held office for years,
and if the former members settle
according to this basis it will amount
TO thousands OF dollars.
The above ruling will affect very
nearly every commissioner, if not
every one, that ever served DeSoto
county, it will no doubt take sever
al thousand dollars to refund in this
county alone.
1t will be a hardship on those who
are serving the county in this capa-
city, ~ per day and mileage Is no
pay for competent business men to
leave their business, after paying
their board and incidentals, they get
about 75c per day for their services,
The law should be changed 80 the
commissioners can get pay for SER
vices rendered.
