wealthy and populous county, but the fact as stated above calls to mind the further fact that this county is growing and that it is about time that the county and circuit clerk be placed upon fixed salary and re- quired to keep an accurate account of all fees received, turning all above the designated amount of salaries into the county treasury.
 We are aware that the law fixes a limit of 5000 beyond which the salaries of those officials shall not go, but it would be pre- posterous idea to suppose that this county should pay it's ser wants any such a salary, and for this reason we think it time that an effort be made in the coming session of our legislature to place Polk coun- ty in line with others in the state that by law require an accounting of fees received, and after a reason able salary--the amount to be fixed by law has been received all other sums must be paid into the treasury.

WINTER FLOWING.

Keep the teams going all the re- mainder of December, up to Febru- ary, turning the soil 8inches deep. This will throw thousands of insects under the ground to the surface and freeze them out. Where the Mexi- can harlequin beetle and Colorado beetle are reached by the blow, that will be as good a process to destroy these pests as any plan that can be adopted. Break the new lands and expose the subsoil to the rains, frosts and absorpsion of ammonia. Keep the big blows with double teams all the winter is the earnest advice of the Southern Agriculturist.

FOR A SEWERAGE SYSTEM.

The one thing needed to insure Mena's continued growth and pros perity and to maintain it's well es- tablished reputation as aprogressive town is a sewerage system.
 While we would much prefer to have system owned and operated by the city, it did not appear prac- tical at this time to inaugurate such and the provision to allow the city to purchase at the end of five years, and each recurring five years thereafter, will, If taken ad- vantage of, permit the city to be- come the owner, consequently we have no objections to the granting of franchise.

during last year 1850 deaths were re-

won the general election of delegates
to the first Philippine assembly held
throughout the islands July 80. In
complete returns from fifty out of
eighty districts show that thirty-0ne
nationalists were elected, ten progress
sives, eight independence candidates
and one Catholic. In Manila the ma
tionalists won by a large majority in
both districts. Dominandor Gomez
claims the election in the first district
in the city, while Justo Lakban con-
tests the election of both independent
candidates. 1t probably will be ten
days or two weeks before the complete
returns are received.

A Cotton Chopper That Chops.

MIR. w. u. Mcclure, who is
resident Of the Mountain Greek
section, was exhibiting cotton
chopper in Edgefeld on Tuesday
which he recently invented. The
machine or implement will bar
off the cotton, chop it and throw
the dirt back to it. which enables
one man and one mule to do the
work of four mules aud about
twelve Lands. Mr.. Mcclure says
he bas put the machine to prac-
tical test and that it does very
satisfactory work. Even hurried
examination will satisfy one that
it has merit in it.

guests and entered heartily into

eut-of-door sports, the little folks
were lnvited into the beautifully
decorated dining room, where they
partook of the many delightful
things that loving hands had pro-
vided in such great abun dance.

tested by the fact that tokens b7

Durine Day and Mt Night.

Music During Day and mt Night.
The expense incident to hold
ing the Chrysanthemum Fair will
be much greater this year than
last, aud for this reason the price
of admission will be twenty-five
instead of ten cents. Believing
that music would add greatly to
the pleasure of the occasion, the
ladies have secured an Augusta
band that will furnish music at
night as well as during the day.
At night a special concert or pro-
gram will be arranged. aud the
twenty-five cents admission. fee
will admit one. to the night con-
cert as we'll as during the day. In
the music alone, all who attend
will be amply repaid for the cost
of admission. Furthermore, when
tue worthy cause for which the
Fair is held is considered no one
shol lld object to paying the small
sum of twenty-five cents. Children
under Is years of sge will be ad:-
mitted to the Fair for 10 cents.
