However that may be, .it doesn't necessarily follow that the beat atump speaker would make the best governor. WSMBnBBHBBSSSSBBHS 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.” 1* —•—————» 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 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.— Dundee News. Good Looks Go > Great Way. ’ ‘Miss Highsee is a beautiful singer, isn’t she?” “Very. That was what made her singing so endurable.”— Washington Times.
