pounds here and there among my

an acre and half that looked so

sufficient seed in the hull to plant

THE GREAT NEED OF THE SAL
AIRY SYSTEM.

MeSsrs. Editors: | anXiously await
every week the coming of The Pro-
gressive Farmer and Gazette and
then read it through and often re-
read it in preference to several other
papers get. You certainly are doing
a great work in waking up our
Southern people to their own inter-
ests in progressive and intensive
farming.
Especially do l wish you to keep
before our people, especially our
farmers, as they must demand it and
have it carried into effect, the salary
system for public officials, as referred
to -. A. NJ" in issue of July 3d. By
all means allow reasonable salaries to
efficient, capable men in office, but
nothing more-let all fees be paid
into the county fund every three
months, or oftener, under sworn
statement and then the County
Auditor issue his warrant on the
Treasurer for such salary as each Of
ficer is entitled to receive under the
law. This county (Bolivar) pays to
the Sheriff and Tax Collector from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year, and to
the Chancery Clerk from $4,000 to
$4,000 year and other minor Offices
in proportion, as l am informed. The
result is every few years we have
from three to five and sometimes
more candidates who will take
chances and spend $1,000 to $4,000
each to get one of these offices.
The best public officers we can get
are those willing to do the work with
their own hands, and not through a
deputy, at fair salary of $1,000 to
$4,000, and every sensible man knows
there are hundreds of such good men
in the State of Mississippi that
would be only too glad to fill such
positions.
Such big, fat salaries as referred
to above have more to do towards
keeping up class of rotten politics
such as most of our States have tC
contend with, than anything l can
think Of at present.
We can never expect the politi-
clans, county officers and others in
terested in big salaries to give the
needed reform it must come
through the farmers and they can
afford to speak out with much posi-
tiveness, and demand that it be done,
because it is right.
Why pay $3.50 for recording the
shortest chattel mortgage and $500
for recording land deed when the
latter needs only to be filed at a

Why pay a circuit court clerk SO,
which goes into his own pocket, for
