EXPLAINS Why SOME
BILLS ARE CUT DOWN

County Commissioner Kelso this
morning stated that the board of com
missioners did exactly right in cut
ting down some Of the bills that are
send In for payment by the constables
and other officers Of the county. He
says that an officer is not paid for
the number of miles he travels or the
number OF hours he puts in in looking
for criminal, but for the delivery
Of the criminal to the sheriff.
Then he is allowed q certain pay
for the number of miles he travel
ed in bringing the prisoner to the
county Jail.
In many cases he says, the officers
bill the county for work they per-
form in looking for criminals and
in all these cases such bills are cut
out In regard to constables. COM
missioner Kelso holds the view that
they are not supposed to operate out
side of their own precinct; that II a
crime happens outside Of his precinct.
then it is the duty of the sheriff or
one Of his deputies to go after the
criminal.
Mr.. Kelso thinks that many of
these officers believe that because
they are elected or appointed to ofiit Q
that they expect to make a living
out of it. This is not the point of
the law. but AN officer must perform
his duty when there is work to do.
But If crime is committed that
officer is not supposed to draw pay for
merely Chasing after the criminal.
II the criminal is captured. then he
is paid for his work.
The board of commissioners say
that there must be n dead line some-
whore in such cases, and that as
far as they have any recollection.
all officers have been paid as such
as WAS coming to them, and in
many cases more. The county at
torneys audit the criminal bills
and IL they mark their o. X. on
them the commissioners allow the
bills.
1t Is said that in the case of Con
stable Thompson Of Portland that In
one instance large bill was sent in
for mileage while lie was skirting the
country for q criminal. This item
In the bill was cut out. 1t Is also
said that Mr.. Thompson draws pay
from the Portland Cement company
for protecting the town.

BUSINESS COLLEGE
CHANGES HANDS
Spencer Business Schools Ac-
1uired By Well Known
Business Men
NEW, ENERGETIC POLICY.
John j. Wirth, a Man of Great Expert
enee, Has Been Secured To De-
liver Free Lessons In French,
German and Spanish.
NEW, ENERGETIC POLICY

The Spencer Business College, with
schools in Birmingham, Selma, Decatur
and Florence, was acquired today by G..
M. Lovejoy and H. M. McNutt, both
well known citizens of this county, who
will devote their entire time and energies
to the work.
In addition to the famous Charter sys-
tenn of shorthand (used also by the cele-
brated Eastman college at Poughkeepsie)
they will have a training department, in
Witch every student will be given actual
practical exercises in shorthand, typewrit-
ing, spelling, bookkeeping, ETC., every
day; and no student will be recommended
for a position until thoroughly drilled
through this department.
The new management have engaged the
services of Mr.. John J. Wirth to in
strut, free of charge, classes in French,
German and Spanish on Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday of each week, from 5
to D. m. To these language lessons
everybody is invited, and it is surely q
rare opportunity. Mr.. Wirth is not only
an accomplished man, but man of large
experience in business and business COL
lege work. He will deliver, also, lee
ture on practical business education to
the students of the college Friday, Feb
ruary at IL a. M, and the manage
ment extends an invitation to every one
who may desire to attend.

What Newspapers Do for the Mail.

from LeSlle' IS weekly.
Many people have been led to believe
that the eent-a-pound mail rate accorded
under the law to publishers mailing their
papers and magazines in bulk was the
cause of actual loss to the government.
In recent discussion of the subject, a
writer maintaining this thesis asserted
that the publications enjoying these So
called second-class privileges paid only 4
per cent of the postal revenues Whether
this estimate is correct or not is of little
Importance; the fact which Is important,
and which biased and thoughtless critics
ignore, is that the granting of the second
class privilege has brought millions of
dollars of profitable first-class business to
the postal service. 1t is on record in the
archives of the postal commission, which
sat In New York in October 1905, that a
single advertisement In a publication en-
Toying second-class rates was the cause
of writing of more than 5000 letters. This
case might be multiplied by thousands,
and it would be shown that, far from be-
ing itself the cause of deficit in the pos
tai revenues, the second-class privilege by
the profitable business 1t creates, goes far
to make up for the losses occasioned by
rural free delivery, the ridiculous abuses
of the ranking privilege, and the failure
TO credit the postoffice department with
the mail carried for all other government
departments.

Dorothy Dainty Ribbons

These beautiful boxed sets of ribbons
enable you to obtain without any trouble
or difficulty, exquisite and exclusive de-
signs of hair bows and sashes in sets
that really match. There is no longer
any need of your going from store to
store trying to match ribbons of different
widths. The Dorothy Dainty box with
Dorothy Daintys picture on the cover and
Dorothy Dainty's name stamped on each
ribbon assures you of a perfectly harmon
lied sash and hair bow set and of excep-
tional ribbon quality.
Every bow and sash is absolutely pure
silk and ALL silk. They hold their
knots, stand up "pertly" and keep their
freshness because they contain none of
that foreign matter that gives to ordinary
ribbons the hard glaze that keeps the
bows constantly slipping, which causes
erinlkling and cracking. There is nothing
but the natural cling of pure silk in
Dorothy Dainty Ribbons.
Dozens of fascinating designs in all the
fashionable weaves and colorings, each
set in limited quantities that when one
Dorothy Dainty meets another their rib
bons will be different.
