The Antiquated System Cannot Last Much Longer The People Have a Right to Know How Much Every orncial is Paid. (Greensboro Telegram.) ' The Richmond Times-Dispatch, In some respects one of the very best papers in the country, is opposed to the plan of remunerating public ofn dale by fees. Speaking of the sort of business methods employed by the State of Virginia, the Times-Dispatch ays: "Antiquated methods,- varying prac tlces. out-of-date customs and strange Inconsistencies constantly appear in the business methods of the State gov ernment To attempt to" explain all these would 1 be to uncover the tradi tions of. a hundred years and to dis close conditions what were discredited before the war. But there is one fea ture of the State's method of admin lstration which may Justly be declared the most antiquated, the most expen-- sive of the entire government This is ' the custom of paying officers x by fees a system as old as the common wealth and as out-of-date as the book keeping of the Middle Ages. Under this system several large classes of State officers court clerks, treasur ers, sheriffs, sergeants and the like are paid for their services not accord- ing to their actual value to the State, but according to the amount of busi ness which happens to come, their way. The fee system Is going out before the march of progress. Not the least objectionable feature about It Is that it leaves people in the dark as to Just what an official is getting for his ser vices. The tax-payers are from Mis sour! and they want to be shown. And they have a right to demand to be shown. LITTLE HELPS FOR WIFE. FARMER'S Never wash tan or brown hose In hjuV water, or in water that has been used for Other clothes. Use .tepid wa ter and white soap, washing carefully with the hands, rinse thoroughly and hang at once to dry, and they will retain their colors. A basin of cold water placed in an oven that Is too hot when baking will bring down the temperature more quickly and to better .purpose than oy- leaving tne oven aoor. open. A' vessel or boning vinegar keDt on the stove when cooking cabbage, on ions or other vegetables will counter act the odor, which Is often offensive when the house is closed. Upholstered furniture should never be beaten directly upon the covering. Lay heavy cloths on top and then beat removing the cloths f reauently and shaking well. This will prevent the dust from rising and scattering and will preserve the covering. ix ever put net rood of any kind into refrigerator or meats or Douitrv without a plate tinder them. .Neither leave meats wrapped In the papers in I which, they. are. brought fom market. WOMAN PROMISES TO OBEY BUT DOESN'T KEEP PROJHSE A New Jersey Woman Makes Bride groom Sign Novel Contract Which He Will Keep Just As a Woman Keeps Her Promise of Obedience. There was no Impulsive has about this marriage, but if the bridegroom loves dogs and "the boys" more than he thinks he does now he may repent Rt leiaure. mv. th Nw York World of a marriage performed by Justice of the Peace William B. Williams, of Montclair. He wouldn't tell who the man and woman are. but they can be easily identified if anybody in Mont clair wants to take the trouble for the next week or two and be on tha look out for a man running madly -through tne streets of that village to get home before 9 O'clock In the evening. -The Justice of the peace was called on the telephone yesterday morning and asked to be at his office promptly at 2 o'clock to attend to an important matter. It was a woman's voice. The squire promised. At the appointed hour the young woman of the voice, accompanied by a young man who seemed to have no voice at all, appeared at the offfoe and announced that she was about to !et her companion be her husband If he would sign a certain agreement in the presence of the Justice of the peace. "George," she continued, "says now that he will be Just the kind of a hus band that I want him to be. But I insist upon getting him down In black and white as subscribing to . a few simple rules of married life. He means well, but he is of a flighty disposition and will take his marriage vows too lightly after awhile" Thereupon the girl took from her shopping bag the following document: "I solemnly promise before the Justice of the peace and the woman whom I have asked to be my wife to give to her my pay envelope, unopened, every Saturday night; to be at home every night by t o'clock, unless my wife is out with me; never to go to ball or parties without her. and then never to dance with anybody else without her permission; to be kind always to her mother snd her little brother; never to Join any lodge that does not admit women, and. not then unless she wishes to Join too; never to smoke more than three cigars on a week' day and . rot more than five on Sunday; never to smoke cigarettes . at all and aever to use .profane language; to beat the car pets every, spring without grumbling; to do up my ; own laundry package etch week; never to drink Intoxicating liquors or beers, except at the 4egln ning of the annual sprlnr house clean lng, and then only three . glass?, In the presence of my wife; never ti keep a dog and never to bring a dog home and say that I am to keep it just tor a little while for a friend who has gone out of town.

"I have thought this out carefully ever since you asked . me to marry you. and 1 am sure that there is nothing In that agreement that ought not to be there - "Well, will you add something, to "What Is it George?" It seems to me that your love for me Is very cal culatlng." , No, I love you dearer, but won't you add Just this much? You agree to let me have three drinks when we clean house. - Now, Just put In . the agreement that I can ' have three drinks every, time we move. Please, dear." v., s-fy- . The younr woman hesitated: Don dered. yielded.: Then when the docu ment had been amended to provide for a imie uckering up on moving dav.

' " - J ; (Cleveland Star.) . 4 ' It becomes the Journalistic duty of of the Star ( to chronicle the news and while It may do violence to the feelings of some would be skeptics, yet so well fortified are we with an imposing array of, witnesses ' whose reputation for truth has never (been questioned, that we proceed with na ratlng our ' story with befitting; and lofty indifference to the assaults of the moeaers and sneers of the unre generate unbelievers. f : ' There are some poor, unenlightened nature-fakers . who have dismissed with a grandiose wave , of . the .hand the averment that . there are shakes whose weapons of offense and defense consisted solely of a long, keen, needle horn at the end of the snake's; tall." These Ignoramuses posing as expert snakeologlsts have declared tlm4 and again that no such snak existed. We have always believed to. the contrary, for ' from our ' earliest boyhood i days we have listened with eyes gradually assuming the proportions of saucers, of the marvelous tales of the horned snake or hoop snake which grasping the extremity of Us tsLl in its mouth the form of a hoop, been been known to roll rapidly along like a run-a-away wagon wheel, and If, perchance, a lucklesstree should stand in the; way of its hoop-like perlgrlnatlon,' the needle Mike ecar at the "eend of the tall would bury Itself In the tree, and in a few hours the leaves on that tree would wither and die. '.Such were the tails which sunk deeply into our childish mind and as first impres sions are generally lasting we believed them, v But in Uvter years these iconoclasts, better known as nature fakers, had given ur earlier belief some rather hard bumps, and It Is with pleasure that we, at this late day find ample and irrefragable evidence to; sustain our flrst belief in the 'ex istence of the hoop 'or horned snake. And we don't have to go outside of good old ' Cleveland, for the proof either, so 1 here . goes: A few days' ago, Mr. Haynes who lives on the farm of Mr. L. C. Palmer, who by; the way' Is Well" known as one of the ; worthy -members -of the County Board' of" Education;' discov ered a curious ; looking snake under neath ' his cotton house In attempt ing to kill the reptile he noticed that Instead of striking atMts assailant with its ' mouth as Is "- usuali with most venomous snakes, this one used Its tall as a weapon and repeat edly struck out with'5 that part of Jits; anatomy. When 'finally killed, it was found upon examination that his sknakeshlp was minus teeth or fangs but the tall was' armed with a sharp, needle like horny protuberance about as long and sharp as a 'rooster's spur. This, seemed to be Mr. Snake's wea pon of offense and 'defense.-5 The snake measured six' feet and seven' Inches ; In - v length. Its markings were white ard black encicling.

It has come to the pass in North Carolina that women and children can go on excursions., attend great gatherings and celebrations unattended by men and get along, all rlghL When the bar-rooms were cut out more was done for the women and children than .was done for any other class.,: Many a woman and many a child haa been de nled the pleasure of a day's outing. something they .would' have' greatly enjoyed, and something they realty needed.f because-tthe bar-roonis were there.
