THIS BILL SHOULD
PASS THIS YEAR.

To abolish the fee system in the
counties of Georgia will require
flee and one-half years. Repre-
sentative Leslie Steele, from De-
Kalb county, in discussing his bill
in the house, stated to his col
leagues that his measure could not
become effective before January /,
1929.
He stated that the constitutional
amendment must be voted on in
November, 1924, and ratified by
the legislature in 1925.
By that time county officials will
have been elected for another four
year term, which will extend un-
til January /, 1929, and, Mr.,
Steele says, it is unconstitutional
to change the salaries of officials
already elected.
The bill introduced by Mr..
Steele provides that county Off
Gals may be placed on salary. in
lieu of the fee system. Each in
dividual county has the right to
determine whether its officials
shall serve for a stated salary or
for a fee.
In the smaller and less proper
Gus counties, the fee system is pref
cradle to salaries, but in other
counties, the officials should be
paid a fair compensation, the bal
ance going into the county treas
ury.
That will lessen taxation just
that much--or give the county that
amount for road building, malaria
control or other activities that are
imperative.
Representative Steele's bill
should receive the support of the
Sumter county delegation.
THE COUNTY SHOULD RAVE
THE RIGHT TO SAY WHETHER
1T WILL PAY ITS OFFICIALS A
SALARY OR ALLOW THEM TO
ACCEPT FEES FOR THEIR
SERVICES.

gist tells US that when a person
fears for his sanity it's a pretty
sure sign he's in control of his
mental faculties, and that is as true
of nations and civilizations as it
is of individuals. A characteristic
of the insane is an obsession that
they're sane and that no one can
prove they're crazy.
humanity's nerves are in bad
shape, undoubtedly, but its sanity
is not endangered though it may
be confused by ''nerves."
What we need is more relaxation
and less speed in daily life. The
so-called efficiency experts, trying
to speed US up to the last ounce
of energy, are partly responsible
for our nervous ailments.
We're not going to be here on
earth very long, any Of US, so why
not take our time and try to learn
what it's all about-instead Of at
tempting to travel 1000 miles an
hour and keep our daily lives gear
ed correspondingly? TROUBLE is,
we're rushing in a tremendous hur-
ry through life, and without any
apparent destination.

MORE RELAXATION AND
LESS SPEED is NEEDED

Cheer up, humanity is not any
crazier than usual, according to DR..
Joseph Collins, one of the leading
American neurologists. He's worth
listening to, for he's not pub
licity scientist" thinking up odd
theories to catch popular attention.
When DR.. Collins speaks, the con-
sentative medical profession listens
respectfully.
DR.. Desloges, head of asylums in
Quebec province, Canada, recently
claimed: Everywhere symptoms
are visible that insanity is increas-
ing at an alarming rate. The symp-
toms are many and varied. In the
individual they are mainly an ex-
treme effergescence. People work
with wild enthusiasm and play with
the same desperate energy"
Answering Desloges in the New
York Times, DR.. Collins says: IF
an impresario will get a moving
picture of, a domestic servant
working with wild enthuhiasm, OF
a farm laborer, or even a mill hand
his fortune will be made. And
VOW there is no desperate energy
displayed where l play or see play
save at Monte Carlo"
We're not as wild and enthusi
astic in real life as we are on tn,
stage, in the movies or in fiction.
Symptoms of collective or ma
tional insanity are evident in Ger
many, Russia and France, says DR.
Collins, and in America which il
obsessed with money mania.
But Collins thinks tlat The cure
for this money insanity "tha
threatens our existence as a ma
ton is the voluntary acceptance o.
the Ten Commandments and the en-
forcement of the Criminal Code"
In other words, we are law
breaking rather than crazy.
DR.. Collins, having investigated
history, reports that the insanity
scare is periodical visitation, the
same as every generation resurrects
the theory that the sun is cooling
OIL and heading humanity toward
1rigid climate in which all will
perish.

Would you mind if we suggested
That the fly should be detested,
That he really isn't nice to have about?

It's desirable to swat him
To eliminate, abolish, lay him out?

But there's evidence conclusive
That the house-fy is menace far from SMALL
So if you will kindly pot him
Poison, trap him. smash him, swat him,

He lives on a Maine farm and
rides by train SO miles every morn

To accomplish this he ha sto leave
home at $50 in the morning.
Reaches his Boston office at GAS.
Leaves the office at 1855 in the af-
ternoon. Gets home at 7:45.
In all, Emmons spends over
eight hours daily, getting to and
from work. His is an exceptional
case. But the average city inhabi-
tant devotes at least an hour to
travelling back and forth between
office and home.
Sometimes it makes us wonder

Emmons has to be in Boston
daily. For Boston is headquarters

treasurer.
He's willing to travel 1872 miles

to the trip, in order to live at his
boyhood home and sleep nightly in
the room where he was born.
