Mrs. Henson has tho courage of her

what she writes.

OPPOSITION FROM cuLrEpEn.

In no uncertain way the Culpeper
Enterprise takes its position against
tho fee system saying:
The next Legislature should abolish
the fee system. All public officials
should be well paid for services rem
dered, but 1t is an unjust tax upon
the people. to pay through the fee
system minor officials very much larger
compensation than is paid our judges,
state Auditor and even larger than tho
amount of the Governors snlary--in

TEN and place all State officials on

ished. 1t Is reproach upon long
suffering people who must put mi end

suits which block the wheels of prog
ross. Demand It's abolition BY the

Our contemporary is exactly right in

THE COST OF THE CoRoS..r1oN

THE COST OF THE CORONATION.
The coronation OF George &. OF Eng
land will cost at least 100000 IL 1t. do
not cost a round million The high
cost OF living will tax Royalty highly
this year, and the coronation soon tc
take place will cost at least one third
more than that OF Edward VII. Just
nine years ago When King Edward
was crowned the expense was about
$4,000. which was then considered
an extraragant figure. In the last ten
years the cost of everything has risen
and British tradesmen are waking up
at last to the fact that coronations
can be made very profitable for them.
1t Is estimated conservatively that
the coronation will mean tile cxpen-
diture of Slo,00O.oO0 by tho English
