EVILS OF THE ZEE SYSTEM"

The Augusta Chronicle prints a
letter from "a wen known citizen Of
a neighboring county on the extra
vaeance of the fee system, in which
The Chronicles correspondent says:
This is one Of the most infamous
things now burdening the state. Most
people think the fines go TO the coun-
ty or state.
For the past seven years in this
small county Al each term o. the SUI
periOr court has been paid IN cash
fines amounting TO at least $4,000, and
the solicitor helps himself TO about
90 per cent of this amount The
state can get all the smart young
lawyers it will ever need to take the
places of solicitor for $500 a year
and there viii be ten applicants for
every place And then, under the
present conditions. no county needs
a treasurer. Just hundreds Of dol
lars thrown away. Get in the fight
and help in doing something fer the
state worth while-and take the po-
sitlon that the legislators should meet
twice a year instead Of once, if only
to help in educating at least one ig-
noramus in each coun;y-by getting
them away from home and let them
! see that the world do move"
Commenting on the letter The
/ Chronicle says;
The Chronicles cores ondent
presents a very interesting case in
po'n.-s3,0l0 in fees at each term Of
coart - one small county And the
solicitor general gets $500 Of Il.
Nor Is it the best county in his cir
cult. either, But with three or four
! other counties in the circuit. and
two terms Of court annually. it is
easily seen how the solicitors share
runs up to $4,000 or more.
The fact Of the matter is. nearly
every county officer draws. under the
fee system, from two TO four times
the compensation that he would will
ingly accept for the same service un-
der a salary system.

THOSE CHARTER AMENDMENTS.


There Is a great squabhle going On
. the CITY Just at present over the
proposed charter amendments, which
were endorsed at citizens meeting
and opposed by city council. Both
our representatives in the legislature
have petitions and resolutions ask
ing for the passage and defeat Of the
amendments This, Of course, places
The Representatives IN rather an awk-
ward position. They are sent to At
lanta 20 represent the people, and
when the people are divided, they,
.o1 course. are supposed to use what
they consider The better Judgment.

payers.
Whether or not the proposed
amendments are favored by ma
jority of the voters Of Brunswick is
not Known, but there is a way to
find out The people generally are,
or should be, familiar with the
changes provided for in the amend
ments They have been published

personal quarrels.' Rejecting all these
things one sees the island as through haze of
beauty shot through and through with the lurid
CLEANS of murderous state of society. Surely
Mr. Renwicks volume is well named. Corsica
is nothing if not romantic. BY the same token
it is nothing if not a place of poignant reality.
There is nothing theatrical about this blood
soaked island. There is hardly anything mys
teriOus about it. 1t is just place apart, the
home of a people profoundly human and genu-
inc. Incidentally. as regards natural loveness,
it is enchanted ground
For the writer there is a special inspiration in
Corsican life and the Corsican country. Jenny
Boswell, of all people in the world once visited
the island and talked with Paoi there. Long
afterward Merimee found in the history of a
native lady Colombia Carabelli, the material
for unforgettable work of art. Every now
and then some clever pen is set IN motion by
Corsica. Mr. Renwick alludes to the late Henry
Seton Merriman's Isle of Unrest" He might
also have cited "Qs" amusing novel, and that

Mr.. Edmund GOsse rushes furOusly into print
to point out the terrible danger TO which author
Ship is now newly exposed. His soul is torn
with anguish because in the intention of the
circulating libraries TO pass upon the moral
character of a novel before admitting it 10
their shelves he sees the crash of worlds and
the disappearance of creative genius. Writ
tnG to the London Times he says:
l appeal. sir, against the unheard Of tyranny
of this proposition Had this DracOnian law
been passed fifty years ago. is there the slight
est chance that Darwns Origin of Species"
would have been circulated or sold? The
association will hasten to reply that they do
not dream Of attacking Darwin. No; but who
is to guard against their attack on some one
who may be the Darwin of tomorrow?
We wonder what has become of Mr.. GOsseS s
Sense of humOr? Mr.. John Murray, the pub
Usher. neatly exposes the absurdity of talk like
this. AS he says. the libraries cannot prevent
the publication, sale and circulation of a book
"All that they can do is to decline to purchase
a book which they regard to be improper" He
has not the smallest fear that a new Origin of
Species" will be killed at its birth by the pro-
posed campaign against indecent books No
one exerting his reasoning powers for frac-
ton of a second could entertain such q fear
We dare say that Mr.. GOSSe himself will ult-
matey subSide into calmneSs. Whether he
does or does not, there will doubtless be an end

invoked in the name of artistic liberty. Ar

SUNDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1909.

Where is that lovely serpent of old Nile,
Cleopatra the Queen. buried? Not in Egypt,
they say. but in a melancholy bit of garden
in Paris garden shut in three sides by
the buildings of the BibliotheQue Rationale
and on the fourth by ratings along the Rue
Niyenne. This, told, is accessible to
none the Keeper of the Printed Books,
and it is doubted if he has ever set foot there.
It is believed that the remains of Cleopatra
have lain in that spot for forty years, an
hypothesis which is disclosed by the London
Daily Telegraph" in the following statement:
Under a glass case in the cabinet of medals
OF the BibliOtheque Rationale is an Egyptian
sarcuphagus. and Egyptologists positive
that the inscriptions upon it prove it to have
contained the body of Cleopatra. The sarcoph-
agus was brought from Egypt TO Paris more
than forty years ago by n French Savant, who
placed it in the National Library. After some
months it was found impossible to preserve
the mummy which it contained, and the Ques
tion arose to what should be done with the
remains of the Queen of Egypt. 1t at last
decided to bury her quietly without pOmp or
publicity. in the old bit of garden incosed in
the building, where she accordingly laid
secretly in the earth forty years ago.
AS the author of this statement remarks,
TO lie buried in modern Paris in the Rue Viv-
enne. which leads to the BourSe, is for Cleo
patra almost as incongruOus a fate as to stop
a hole to keep the wind away"
