It is said by *ome that Berner and
Atkinson are better slump speaker*
than Candler. However that may be,
.it doesn't necessarily follow that the
beat atump speaker would make the

The negroee of South Carolina are
anxious to go to war. Five thousand
of them are repoiled as being ready to
enlist. From this it is apparent that
the negro want* to show that be can
be somewht-re else besides the wood*
pile.
Another effort will be made to stam
pede Candler’s almost unanimous fol
lowing In Georgia. It i* x said that
Spencer Alkineon will “come down,”
ai)d leave Bob Berner to make the
race. - His “coming down” card, it ia
belie ted, will be a grandstand play to
create a Berner boom. It will be an
other futile effort. The people are for
Candler and caunot be sidetracked this
year.—Montrsuma Record.
Bays the Thomaston Times: “It
DOW seems that the Hon. Charles L.
Bartlett will have a clean sweep in the
primary, and why should he not have?
Bartlett i* a man of brains and energy
and is loysl to his party and to his
constituents He is one of the hard*
esl workers io the lower house of con
gress, and, having been there two
terms, he is well acquainted with his
fellow statesmen, with the plans 'of
work pursued by the national law
makers and is nc.w in better position
than ever before to serve the people he
represents The Sixth district could
: not do belter than to elect Mr. Bartlett
for a third term, and the voters having
realised this, will put him through.”

The New York Herald has inteia
viewed a number ol adjutant generals
upon the question of their understand
ing of the president’s power to call up
on state militia for the national de
fense. Acting Adjutant General Oscar
Brown of this state says he thinks the
president has authority to send Hie
state militia wherever they may be
needed, within or without the United
States. He is sure that an order to
the Georgia troops to go to Cuba, if
they were needed there, would meet
with no opposition from the men. He
regards it as necessary that the presi
dent should have the power to call out
state troops without waiting for the
action of the governor, in cases of
emergency. Except in emergency,
the call should come through the chief
executive of the state.
A camp of Confederate veterans at
Baltimore the other day passed resolu
lions asking the state of Maryland to
present the federal government with a
battleship, fully armed and equipped.
The purpose of the resolution it was
stated, was to place the Confederate
veterans of the post on record on the
question of national defense. There
is no need for Maryland to give a ship,
nor for the Confederate veterans to
put themselves on record in order to
show where they stand. The northern
men who doubts the loyalty of the
south eitbef lacks in information or is
x r
an ass, and the southern man who
would make an ostentatious demon
stration byway of informing the
northern people of what they already
know, belittles himself in their estima
tion. The south ia the most American
section of this country.—Savannah

. ENGLISH LAWYERS.
The Small Fees That Are Received by the
London lUrrl.ter,.-
A barrister’s foes arc smalt, and they
I are always paid in advance, and tho
sum is recorded under the title of the
brief. A friend who ha* a large practice
• showed me his feebook yesterday. Tho
largest item was 28 guineas, which is
less than S2OO. The average was about
SSO, Fees are regulated by the benchers
» of the inn according to the service per-
I formed, and no contingent fees are nl-
• lowed. A barrister may accept a case
> for nothing or return the fee in cases of
1 charity, but ho cannot without violat
ing his oath, directly or indirectly, ac
cept any greater compensation for a
legal service than is allowed in the
regular schedule fixed by the benchers
of his inn. If he does so, he is debarred
i from practice.
It is a common custom in America
for a lawyer to undertake a suit for the
recovery of damages or a claim of any
, kind with a contract that he shall re
ceive a certain percentage of the amount
of money recovered. In England such
> an act would be considered disreputa
ble, and any barrister found guilty
Would be expelled from bis inn. The
fees arc regulated by the amount of
time and labor required, and not by the
amount of money involved. A barrister
may receive a fee of $250 in a case iu-
i volving only SSOO, and he may receive
a fee of $25 in a case involving $1,000,-
000.
All legal business originates with so
licitors. They bring to the barrister’s
office a case all prepared after certain
forms and written in manuscript. The
British courts do not permit typowrit
, ing. The solicitor requests the barrister
to undertake the case, and the fee is
marked plainly upon the brief. If the
barrister does not care to undertake the
. labor for the amount of money allowed
’ or for any other reason, he advises the
solicitor to go elsewhere. If be accepts
the responsibility, the solicitor leaves
the amount of the fee in coin with the
brief, so that the barrister has his pay
in advance. This is the almost invaria
ble custom. Tho only exceptions are in
cases of close friendship between the
solicitors and barristers and where there
is a large amount of litigation in
which both ore involved. Then it is
customary for the barrister to make up
his bill at the end of the month or the
end of the but the fee in each
case must nevertheless bo written upon
the brief and recorded in tho books of
the court.
It is customary, also, for the solicitor
to lo;'.ve a fee for the barrister’s clerk
at the same time, which must be a cer
tain percentage of that paid to the bar
rister. When you dine at a hotel or a
restaurant in England, it is customary
to tip the waiter an amount equal to 5
per cent of your bill for the same rea
son. The waiter receives no compensa-
Ition from his employer, nor does tho
barrister’s clerk. His pay comes entire
ly from the clients, and if his princi
pal has no clients he gets no pay. On
1 the other hand, if his principal has a
very largo and profitable practice his
fees are enormous. They say that tho
clerk of Six Charles Russell lives in a
handsome villa down in the suburbs, is
driven to and from his office in a brough
am and hires a box at tho opera for the
season.—Chicago Record.
No More of It For Him.
He entered tho shop of a fashionable
bootmaker, a look of determination on
his face. It was such a look as one sees
on tho face of a man who is firmly re
solved to carry out, at all hazards, a de
cision which will chango the whole
course of his life.
“H’ml” ho began as tho assistant
stepped forward and politely questioned
him as ‘to his requirements in feet
beautiflers. "I w-ant a pair of shoes for
my wife, Mrs. Brown.”
“Yes, sir, certainly,” said the young
man briskly. ‘‘Same style and size as
last week?”
“Same style. Size, fives—wide fives, ”
replied Brown decidedly.
“But-;—er —excuse me. Mrs. Brown
only takes—that is, she usually has
exclaimed the assistant, who
knew tho lady well. . •
“Are you married, young man?”
queried Brown sternly, the look of de
termination deepening on his careworn
features.
“Er—not yet, air, ” answered the
shopman, blushing.
"I thought not,” returned Brown.
“I ami I am not going to suffer half
an hour’s purgatory every morning,
watching a woman trying to squeeze a
bushel of feet into a peck of boots. I’ve
stood it long enough, and I’m going to
take her a pair that will fit” —Pear-
son’s Weekly.
Makins Things Clear.
An old Peebles worthy and an Eng
lish lady were one day recently occu
pants of a railway carriage in an Edin
burgh bound train. The train had been
waiting long at a certain station, and
there was no appearance of its starting,
when the worthy remarked, a
gey taiglesome lot here.”
“I beg your pardon,” said the lady.
“I’m sayin they’re an awfu’ daidlin
squad here,” said the old fellow.
“I really beg your pardon, sir,” she
rejoined.
• “I’m remarkin they’re a vera dreich
Jot here the nicht,” the old gentleman
further ventured.
“Really, I must again beg your par
don,” said the lady, with marked em
barrassment, “but I do not comprehend
you.”
“I was just trying to say the train
was late,” he finally blurted.
“Indeed, sir, it is very late,” agreed
the lady.
And the conversation collapsed.—
