CANDIDATES FOR OfflCE OUT SPOKEN AGAINST TEE SYSTEM. Opposition to the iniquitous fee syntern has grown so strong in Al abama that candidates for office dare declare themselves against it; a thing which heretofore, in Geor gia at least, would have meant de feat at the hands <>f the "court house ring.” But, in Alabama, General \V. \\ . Brandon, who has announced him self a candidate for probate judge — a portion corresponding to that of ordinary in this state —of Tuska loosa county, has taken aTi open stand against the fee system, in spite of the fact that should he be elected and paid on a salary basis his compensation would Ik- consid erably less than on the fee plan. In the Montgomery newspapers G< n ral Brandon thus declares him self: "I would like to see a law enacted that will place all county officials on a salary basis, and which will be a reasonable compensation for the services rendered.

A few months ;ig<> there came to a small town in South Georgia a stranger. Me was a man of pleas ing address, with great financial ideas in his head and with no money. This latter is a condition that is very common, and which f>r that reason perhaps he did not dem it ncecsary to advertise. He impressed the people favorably with his talk and manners, and the peo ple of that community likwise favor ably impressed him, so that lie de cided to cast his net among them. He started in business, according to his ideas. Although he had no money he opened a hank, and re ceived deposits. This was fostered by the impression he had artfully created that he was q millionaire. W ith these deposits lie was enabled t i start another bank, creating con fidence in his financial standing, lie became the most active business factor in that town and section, lie bought banks, saw-mills and real estate, everything that was offered for sale, paying in each ease as lit tle cash as possible. He made pres ents of automobiles t> employees, built a fine residence for himself, and naturally, married the daughter of a prominent citizen, to whom he gave as a wedding present a SI 0,0;);) set of diamonds. He was a locai Monte C'risto, u, king of finance at who.m touch < verything turned to gold- Ho all went well, until some little incident turned up which clogged the machine. Distrust was aroused, an investigation made, and the truth was discovered that he had no means of his own and was oper ating on nerve as his only asset.

"In most of the counties the compensation of the officials is not excessive, but in the larger counties where the fees run the pay of the officials into the ten thousands, the officials should be given a salary and th<‘ excess paid into the state fir county treasury.” In addition to tins outspoken dec laration, the Birmingham News mentions that already a number of the candidates for the position of sheriff and court clerks in the state have announced that they arc op posed to the fee system. Many of the candidates for the legislature have likewise expressed themselves in opposition to this fee-grabbing game- The public sentiment in nearly every part of the state is growing stronger against it, says the News, and it looks as if it is only a question of time before the move ment will assume organized shape forgetting rid <*f one <>l the worst evils in Alabama. —Augusta Chroni cle. funds.

His young wife entered suit for divorce. And then it was revealed that the man was an escaped convict from Missis sippi, where 1 t had previously tried to work the same game. He will without a doubt be added to the good roads forces Now wherein did this man, who made such a failure, differ from the captains of finance who makes a success?
