IT will be interesting to see now just
what value the addition of one star ball
player makes to an average machine.
Collins is certainly a star ball player, and
the White Sox, finishing in tie for sixth
place, can hardly be classed better than
average. There have been occasions when
one man made a ball club, happening to

for the services. Judge Psynter says,
s'The Legislature intended that the
members Of the local board Of health
should be compensated for the serv-
ices they were required by Law to per-
form. The discretion Of the fiscal
court with reference to the compensa-
ton to which such board is not an ar
bitrary one. It 10 a sound judicial
discretion, aud one that can be con-
trolled. If the fiscal court has an ar
bitrary discretion in uhe matter, they
could refuse to allow any compensa-
tion, however valuable and meritori-
Gus might be the services Of the MEM
bers of the local board of health.
Here is an extract from an opinion
in similar case by Judge Durrelle Of
the court Of Appeals: "The county
board of health has no power to fix
their compensation. That compensa-
tion, like the compensation of the
board themselves, was left to the
!discretion of the Fl sea l
court, not to it's arbitrary discretion,
but to discretion governed by the
value of the services. Now let us ap-
ply this rule to my case before the
, fiscal court of Adair county. You re.
member that was claiming an in
crease of salary. 1 had nearly one
dozen witnesses, among the best men
in the comfy, viz, q. T. Williams,
Tobias Huffaker, A ] Combest, DR..
c. M. Russell, DR.. E. B. Atkinson, DR..
N. NJ. Hancock, Dr.. E. T. Sallee, Lo-
gan G. Winfrey and Myself. All with
out dissenting voice. put the value
of my services at not less than $500.
Not witness was introduced on the
other side, and the judge in this case
says the compensation must be fixed
by the testimony. If the testimony
showed was entitled to this amount,
then you had no authority to fix any
other amount. Judge Paynter said:
eff the fiscal court had any discretion
in the case they could refuse to allow
any compensations." That is what
the fiscal court came very near doing.
II Judge Paynter had been acquainted
with the Adair fiscal court, he never
would have said that their discretion
could be controlled. l am writing
this in pity, not in anger. lean hard.
ly believe that these gentlemen in.
tended to do me an injury, but the in
jury is the same, however the inten.
tion. Then the court offered me their
sympathy. / would like to get some
one versed in figures, to tell me when
corn is worth 60 cents bushel, and
flour % per hundred pounds, and beef
Is cents a pound, and hay is worth 81
a hundred pounds, how long could ]
| and my horse live on the sympathies
of the Adair fiscal court? Then, some
of the members proposed for me to
leave off some of my work. But they
had no right to make any such ar.
rangement, and If l were to do a
thing of that sort, they would be the
first ones to howl because 1 was ne
glecting my duty.
In conclusion can only say ia the
language of Stephen, the first Christ
ian Martyr, when he was being stoned
to death, he raised his eyes toward
heaven and said: Lord lay not thit
sin to their charge.

cannot call to mind any one who
has been longer with US than
your good self, and none who
has given evidence of knowing
what he wants and how to get it
with as little trouble.
We have passed through these
many years serving you with a
clean sheet, and while it is not
our idea of an early end yet we
fear thar before the coming time
you mention is on record, we will
be over the dark divide. Still if
it be our fortune to run it out,
we sincerely hope you will be
able to write us in like manner
in 1915, as we certainly appreci-
ate that letter.
Very truly,
