LEE COUNTY BILLS
 PASS LEGISLATURE
STOCK LAW, WITH THREE TOWN SHIPS EXEMPTED, BECOMES EFFECTIVE APRIL 1-SALARY BILL UP TO GOVERNOR.


 Senator w. L. Ward, who is here to spend a few days with his family trouble, stated yesterday that the bill to prohibit the running at large of livestock in the territory in Lee county west of the L'Anguille river, with Fleener, Hampton and Big Creek townships eliminated, had been passed by both branches of the gen eral assembly and is now up to the governor for his signature. The law becomes effective on April 1, 1919. The bill carries out the motion that prevailed at mass meeting held here several weeks ago when the no fence idea was thoroughly discussed. At that meeting citizens from Fleener, Hampton and Big Creek townships entered vigorous protests against the passage of stock law so far as 1t concerned their townships, and it was decided to eliminate that terri tory from the provisions of the bill. During the confusion incident to the putting of several motions fluke motion was passed at the meeting declaring against the stock law for any part of the western division of the county. Chairman J. M. McClin- tock at first refused to put the mo- tion. because those present at the mass meeting were from the three townships where the stock law was not wanted and he held they had no right to speak for the other town ships in the county
 Senator Ward said the new stock law as well as the one already in force in the eastern section of the county. have been changed to provide that persons who knowingly or will large shall be deemed guilty of a fully permit their stock to run at misdemeanor and upon conviction are subject to fine of from one to ten dollars for each head of stock so turned out. The fee for taking up estray stock has been raised from fifty cents to one dollar, and persons under twenty-one years of age are not permitted to take up stock
 The salary bill passed for Lee county affects the county and probate iudge. the treasurer and county sup erintendent The judge now draws s1 200 as county and probate judge and s4OO as judge of the court or common pleas. Under the new law he will draw s1.600 as county and probate judge and $400 as judge or the court of common pleas. The treasurer is now on commission basis. his annual salary amounting to approximately $2.5O0. Under the new law the treasurer is placed upon an annual salary of s1,o00. The sal ary of the county superintendent Is fixed at $1,O00.
 A general act has been passed al lowing sheriffs $1 day for the board of prisoners instead of the seventy-five cents now allowed. Many counties have been exempted from the provisions of this bill. but Lee county remains in the act.

THE PROPER lpIoM

A translator of the bible into the New Guinea tongue wanted proper idiom for the phrase, Far be it from me to do this thing" He consulted a learned native who replied, 'I un derstand. We have the precise idiom when we say May l speak to my mother-in-law before I will do this thing"
 That sounded rather like joke tC the translator. but 1t wasn't, for in that land of strange tahoos one of the unpardonable sins is for a man to open his lips to his wife's mother Boston Transcript

SALARY PROVIDED FOR
 ROAD DISTRICT HEAD
COMMISSIONER CREATE OFFICE OF MANAGING AGENT FOR OR- GANiZATiON AT SALARY OF $75 A MONTH.

At a meeting of the board of di- rectors of Road Improvement District No 1, of Lee county, held Tuesday afternoon, resolution was passed creating the office of managing agent for the district and Dr. O. l.. William. son. the president of the board, was elected to the position at salary of $75 month.
 The question of paying the presi- dent of the board a salary on account of the vast amount of work and time he gives to the affairs of the district has been under discussion for several months When Dr. Williamson's term as president of the board expired some time ago he declined reelection as a member of the board for the reason he had devoted large DOT. tion of his time during the past nine years to the business of the district, and he felt he could no longer serve except at a sacrifice of his personal interests which no citizen would be willing to make. Former members of the board, among them men who had served as president, declared 1t a gross imposition to ask any man capable of handling the affairs of the district to serve as president without compensation for his services. The position was offered to several men of prominence and all declined to serve At subsequent meeting of tax payers Dr. Williamson was asked if he would serve on condition that the position paid salary. He said if. no one else could be induced to take the place he would do so Ii some compensation were provided. He added, however, he did not want the place with or without pay and that if he accepted it he wanted 1t distinctly understood his resignation was in the hands of the board all the time, to take effect at any minute the board could find some other man to accept the responsibilities.
 At a meeting of the boaru two weeks ago the question of paying the president a salary came up. The members agreed it was right and proper to provide compensation for his services, but some doubted the authority of the board to pay the president salary. The board then had an amendment prepared to the road district law, authorizing the pay ment of salary to the president. The bill passed the house, but met with the opposition of Senator Ward in the senate and was tabled by him.
 At the meeting of the board Tues day the original act creating the district was brought before the board and it was found that Section of the act gave the board ample author ity to employ necessary agents to carry out the purpose of the act and to pay salaries to such agents. Act ing upon the authority conferred in Section g, the board created the of flee of managing agent and elected Dr. Williamson to the position at salary of $75 month. Before action was taken in the matter Dr. William son addressed the board and reiter- ated the statements he had made sev eral months ago. and again emphasiz- ed the fact that he did not want the office and would resign at any time the board found a man who would agree to succeed him and who would be acceptable to the board.

EDUCATORS TO RESPECT JEW.
ISH HOLIDAYS.

The Tract Commission of the Union
of American Hebrew Congregations
and Central Conference of American
Rabbis recently sent its annual cir
cuiar to superintendent of Public
Schools and Presidents of Colleges. all
over the country, enclosing copies of
the Jewish calendar and asking that
the programs of the institutions be
arranged so as not to interfere with
the observance of holidays by Jewish
students. In reply many communion
tons were received expressing symp-
,.thy and promising cooperation with
the Commissions purpose.
Here are quotations from few OF
the representative replies: Yale Uni
versity-"Every possible consideration
has been shown to the people of your
faith in the matter of granting alb
sences from exercises and eXamina-
lions. We have repeatedly excused
lEoln anu iih' y

George Washington University
Washington, d. C.-"The University is
always glad to cooperate by making
possible the proper observance of holy
days"
Rochester, n. Y.-"We shall, of
course. be only too glad to continue
the same policy that we have always
carried out-that of recognizing these
special days and excusing the children
accordingly"

THE CHOICE.

Carthage or Athens?
President Lowell of Harvard Uni
versity in an appeal to Harvard grad.
yates to subscribe to the proposed fund
of S11,OOO.OOO for Harvard declares
that "at the present day" America has
her choice as to whether she will be
one or the other in the future world.

great commercial nation. or we can
make ourselves one of the great lead
ers of thought in the world says
President Lowell. ''rhru our colleges
IL is possible. and essential that we
PUT forth our great intellectual pow
or if we are truly to be leaders of the
world"
The world is indebted at Athens
for much that is beautiful. Her phil,
osophy. her arts, her culture have con
tributed to world progress. But Athens
has also proved the mother of tyran-
MES. the breeding place OF institutions,
that civilization no longer tolerates.
Athens and her worshippers have laid
stress on external beauty. beauty of
form. on intellectually and on grace,
1t was not Athens that babe mankind

was not Athens that taught the world
that Righteousness eXalts Il nation or
held before humanity the vision OF
world brotherhood and equality. Not
from the Acropolis, but from the Hill
of Zion went forth the law and the
made its own.
The culture and the philosophy
which brought fame TO Athens have
never been. nor are they today. the
things that give nation real world
leadership. the leadership that is
strong in the confidence and trust OF
all peoples.

SONG OF A HUMBLE CITIZEN
by ELIAS LIEBERMAN

With temples throbbing and hot,
With temper ruffled and red.
\ citizen sat in his rent-raiscd flat,
YEARLY propping his head.
I'm man of peace" he moaned,
As he fingered the grocer's bill,
Yet self-control is leaving my soul
It's strike, strike, strike,
From dawn to evening glow;
And strike, strike, strike,
Wherever 1 chance to 90.
The slogan, wherever l pass.
In our land of-do-as-yOu-like
is Get to a man as much as you can,
Then ask for more--and strike.
It's strike, strike, strike.
From actor to engineer;
And strike, strike. strike,
For cheese or decimal beer:
I'm II lover of justice and peace.

Is, Where do l come in?
It's strike, strike. strike.
From window cleaner to clerk:
And strike, strike, strike,
With never u thought of work.
I'm strong for order and law,
But l have nothing to say.
Tor first and last / am dashed to the
mast;
Whoever may win, l pay.
With temples throbbing and hot
With temper ragged and red.

But all this makes me sick.
Upon my soul, I've lost control:
I'm turning Bolshevick."
