SHRRlFF'S FEES.

Heaven help it or him. This
morning our contemporary prints
an editorial article savagcly assail-
ing the fee system and the fees Of
sheritlS especially, But il does mo-
tell Us the remedy. The sheriff is
the high officer of the county. with
powers wide and large. He can
issue proclamations and call every
able-bodied man within his bailiwick
to pursuit and battle. 4 man fit
to be entrusted with such response

We believe the Sheriffs of Nir-

rather than the rule.

HOW TAXES GROW.

The ordinary property owner,
who pays his taxes promptly and
gives them no further consideration
until next year. has little concep-
tion of the rapid growth" of an
unpaid taX-bill.
An illustration comes to mind
here in Clarke county:
\ piece of property, containing
approximately three acres. was
declared delinquent under the tax
laws some ten or twelve years ago.
Each succeeding year the bill.
like Mr.. Fiuney's turnip, grew
and grew" until the property was
PIT up and sold for taxes last year.
The tax officials were authorized
To accept a bid which would cover
their bill and when the property
was bid up TO about $3.50 it was
Knocked down to the successful
bidder.
The tax in the first place was
less than $40, and vet three acre
OF nice land had been lost through
non payment.
The habit of paying your taxes
promptly is an excellent habit IN
Clarke county or elsewhere.
10 is q pleasure to know that
very few Clarke county property
owners fail To do so.
