OF
BOARD is
FINISHED
Miscellaneous Matters Handled Be-
fore Final Adjournment; Char
tiles Still Receive Aid But
Method is Changed

The board OF county commissioners,
following most strenuous session
which began Monday morning of this
week, adjourned shortly before the
noon hour this morning.
Little business was transacted at
today's session.
e. E. Colby was appointed tenn
porary highway engineer and will,
within short time make surveys and
file reports on a number of county
roads which the commissioners have
recently ordered opened in different
sections of the county.
T. NJ McElroy was appointed trus-
tee for Amber township, vice ]. D
Bowers, resigned.
The bond of Charley Brock, deputy
sheriff of Pocasset, was filed and ap-
proved.
Resignation of Frank Sanburn as
treasurer of Baldwin township re-
ceived and accepted.
In the matter of aid from the county
given the worthy poor of the county,
Commissioner Corzine, presiding off
Ger of the board, stated that in future
all claims for county help would have
to be made out on the regular blanks
and forms provided, and that each in
dividual case would receive the
amount of help in cash that was found
to be proper.
Heretofore, Mr.. Corzine stated, it
had been the habit OF the United Char
tiles to aid the worthy poor by buying
supplies for those in need who had
upon investigation been found worthy
and the county would then pay the bill
Mr.. Corzine stated this proceeding
was irregular and contrary to law. He
said that he felt that the ladies who
compose the membership of the char
tiles board are working in a most
worthy cause and that they are en-
titled to every aid and consideration
and that the county commissioners
will continue to aid them, hut that the
regular form win have to be adhered
to in future.
Commissioners Corzine, Bryant and
Robinson all stated that they were
glad to go on record as acknowledging
the most material aid that the ladies'
of the United Charities had been to
the poor people of the county who
were deserving of assistance from the
board in its official capacity, and the
assistance, equally valuable, which the
United Charities had rendered the
county board.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-"When
England begins to talk peace, the war
viii be near a close" said an official
who has faithfully reflected the view
of Ambassador Bernstorff since the
peace talk first began.
Germany looks to England to open
the discussion" saiu the official re-
ferred to, "and Germany's peace terms
are already formulated"
The terms on which Germany will
make peace were outlined by the off
cial as follows:
"The retention of Poland, which
would become an autonomous state
with a customs alliance with Germany.
The retention of strip Of territory
in Courland and the territory now held
in Russia until the war indemnity is
paid.
"The restoration of at least part
of Germany's colonial possessions and
probably the return of all of them.
Absolute freedom of the seas
Germany to give up Belgium. The
evacuation of the Balkans by Russia,
with complete Austro German control
there. The power to modernize Tur-
key without interference"
These are the only terms on which
Germany will consent to make peace,
It was declared. The official quoted
said easier terms could have been
made year ago, but that those named
would be supplemented by harsher
ones a year from now if the war con-
tinues that long.
1t was further stated that Germany
expects the allies to pay the war bill
and intended to hold territory now oc-
cupied in France and Russia until the
bill is paid.

MILEAGE OF
DEPUTIES
IN DISPUTE
Inspector Makes Ruling Different
from Decision Of District Court;
Litigation on Construction
Of Law Looms Up

A nice little entertainment seems
to be ready for staging in the depart
ment of affairs of Grady county.
Ground plans for this entertainment
seems to have been under way for the
past several days, with r. M. Nash of
the state inspection department acting
as supervising architect.
The matter involves the question as
to whether or not mileage allowed
sheriff's officers by statute shall or
shall not be classified as "fees"
The statute governing fees provides
that in all criminal cases wherein the
county shall be stuck" the county
shall be liable for only 60 per cent OF
the fees due the process officers.
Deputy Inspector Nash construes this
statute to include mileage remuner-
ations as fees, thereby emitting any
officer, serving any process in Grim
inal matters, to 60 per cent of the total
mileage travelled in place of the full
amount, or cents per mile in place
of 10 cents, in all cases wherein the
county shall become responsible for
the pay.
Allan K. Swan, assistant county at
torney, oonstrues the section on fees
not to include mileage in the 'fee'
items, and in placing this construction
upon the statute, mas cited the board
of county commissioners to the case
of Walter Jones vs.. the Board of Com
Of Grady county, tried be-
fore Judge Linn of this district. in the
Grady county district court, in which
Judge Linn construed the section as
not to mean that payment for mileage
travelled by an officers to such mile
age. was the payment of a fee.
In the case of Jones VS.. County Com
Judgment rendered June ?,
1915, for plaintiff in the approximate
sum of $3.50, the plaintiff had been a
deputy sheriff and the county had set
tied with him, or offered to settle with
him for his mileage claims on the
basis Of 60 per cent, claiming that the
mileage allowance of ten cents for
every mile actually travelled was a
fee allowance. Jones, through his at
torneys, held that the ten cents per
mile constituted a sum separate from
any fees paid or due the officer; that
the ten cents per mile was allowed the
officer not as a fee, but as an expense
account for the reason that out of this
ten cents he had to reimburse himself
for all expenses incurred in serving
any process served while travelling the
miles for which he received the per
mileage pay.
A motion was made during the
meeting of the board of directors yes
terday in which the mileage of sher-
ifs deputies was declared to be part
of the fees of the officers. This mo
ton should. it be adopted, Assistant
County Attorney Swan states. will
