WOULD ABOLISH
FEE SYSTEM
LauderdaIe County Can
didate Injects New
Issue.
A Big Saving From His
Figure.

Frank E. Smith, candidate for
chancery clerk in Lauderdale coun-
ty, has injected a new issue into
the campaign for county Offices that
will doubtless attract Statewide
attention and doubtless bring forth
some lively protests.
Mr.. Smith wants the fee system
abolished in county Offices. and he
has prepared statistics showing
that certain county officials are
over paid for their services.
Taking his own county. Lauder
dale, as an example, Mr.. Smith
shows that the fees of the chancery
clerks office amount to $l5. 900 per
annum, that the incumbent pays
for clerk hire $4,000 and, granting
that the salary Of clerk should be
Sc, 900 per annum, he figures that
change In the law would result in
a saving of $40. 1000 per year in this
office alone.
Mr.. Smith estimates the fees of
the circuit clerk at SIS 900 per year.
and. allowing the clerk a salary of
So, 900 and ST 900 for clerk hire. he
figures out a saving of $4,000 per
year in this Office. Then taking
the offices of sheriff and tax col
lector. he places the fees at SIC, 900.
allows salary of $4,000 year for
incumbent of 81 900 for clerk hire,
he figures saving of $4,000 per
year.
After completing his statistics on
the office of county treasurer and
declaring that the Office of county
attorney should be abolished. Mr..
Smith reaches the conclusion that
to abolish the fee system would
mean saving of $22. 900 per an
mum, for the county of Lauderdale.
Mr.. Smiths figures as to the<fees
collected by the several county Off
GERS are probably correct. but he is
rather penurious in his allowance
for clerk hire and deputies. For
instance the average chancery clerk
in the larger counties of the State
not only employs deputy, but also
three or four copyists, and it is
hardly probable that they could be-
properly compensated with an al
lowance Of $1,000 per annum nor
could the average sheriff and tax
collector employ a sufficient num-
Der of deputies and Office clerks on
the meagre allowance of 81, 600 per
annum.
Mr.. Smith then seeks to apply
his figures to the entire State, fig
uring that by adopting the fee sys-
tenn. abolishing the Offices of county
treasurer and county attorney. and
having repositories established to-
take care Of public funds, the total
saving to the State would be $484.-
600. He figures this on a basis of
eighty counties, when in fact there
are only seventy Zine counties, in
cluding the new county of Walthall,
which is not yet actually in exis-
tence. indicating that his figures
have been rather hastily prepared.
Mr.. Smiths statement also sets
forth plea for the abolition of the
convict farming system. and plac-
ing convicts on the public roads.
which he figures would mean 2. 1000
convicts at $25 per month, or $780,
900 per year. He does not point |
out. however. what connection the
convict question has with the chan
cery clerkship Of LauderdaIe coun-
tv.

Partners In All Things.

A young lawyer in a western town
was taken into partnership with his
father and soon got the idea that be

habit of saying at the conclusion Of a
successful case:
"Well, father, l won that case, all
right"
Finally the old man. becoming lrri-
tated by the sons assumption Of i'm
portance, handed out this advice: a
George. It seems TO me that when
ever this firm does anything you might

THE VACATION GARB
FOR THE SUMMER GIRL
Pretty Yet Sensible Garments
Should Be Selected.

The girl who is going away on a
vacation has a problem before her in
the choice of clothes. OF course ev-
erything Is more or less settled by the
climate she goes into; but. after all,
one wears summer clothes in summer
with the addition Of few warm gar
ments If the weather is cool.
For two or three weeks stay she
would only need four white skirts,
which she could make of linen duck
at home by good six gore pattern,
and one dark brown or blue for long
walks or for boating. Her blouses
should be all white or with just a
speck of color. and she will find china
silk better for this than muslin and
embroidery. They do not require such
dainty ribbon run underwear as a
transparent waist, and they are not
as expensive to launder.
The best pattern has few fat
plqits down front and back, sleeves
put in at the arm hole and plated TO
the wrist. soft turnover cuff, to-
gether with link buttons.
There should be a turnover collar
buttoned at back and front of the neck
band. and under this goes a colored
cravat to match the stocking. In such
a costume woman is always cool and
comfortable and has the knowledge
that she is correctly dressed.
The colored Norfolk jacket not only
supplies the warmth of the sweater,
but is a better touch, and it does not

FOR THE AUTUMN.

The summer season has seen the re-
vival of white and black lace of every
description in tunics, flounces and en-
placements The autumn, however,
will see these laces in profusion, not
only upon our dresses, but also upon
our hats, if we are to believe a rumo
from Paris. It is whispered that these
laces will be combined even with our
furs.
Black velvet and white lace will be
the smart note of autumn, and already
the leading houses are dreaming of
extravagant prices that these two
fabrics command. We are not on the
eve of revolution. We shall be as
richly dressed in October as we have
been in June.

Polo has occupied the attention OF

But golf is not the only Offering
made; the tennis court and a beach
free from coral puts the town affair
to blush when it comes to patronage
by lovers of the surf. Haleiwa is the
ideal, and to paraphrase the advertis-
ing of a coast hotel is managed ION

rooms, good meals and pleasant sur

WORKING UP STAGE DETAILS.

A striking bit of stage management
is here told by Daniel Frohman in his
recently published Memories of a
Manager" He says:
1T is impossible to tell with GER
tainty from the reading of play
whether or not it will succeed, since
certain qualities hidden even during
rehearsal may developd quite acct
identally, at the first public perform
ance. Apropos: A certain play was
dragging heavily. The manager, who
hattered himself that he had provided
for every possibility of a halt, was
greatly puzzled One of the charac-
tiers had been banished to a foreign
country. The actor playing this part
mistook his cue and made his entrance
at moment not designed by the play
wright, but which proved so opportune
that it literally brought down the
house. The manager noted the effect
and the play was revised so as logical
ny to admit of the very striking en-
trance, which was deemed by the crit
les the hit of the occasion"
MANY plays develop opportunities
during rehearsals, continued Froh-
