EX-JUDGE ' AVERY'S ; FEE:
Auditor Ayer
Say ha Aotad
,,, thority. c
Upon An-
. Whether the .warrant on the State
Treasury for 1350, in favor of Ex
Judge Avery, which was authorized
byGov. Russell and endorsed by Audi,
tor Ayer was lawfully and properly
done is a question which"; is being
raised all over the state. Auditor
Ayer says there is a precedent for the
Governor's , action. The . Auditor
cites that in 1892 the state paid ten
thousand dollars in special attorneys!
fees In tne Wilmington and Weldon
railroad tax matter. JR. 0. Burton
receiver $3,500, Armlstead Jones
$2,500 and Busbeo. and Busbee
$2.500,. But these gentlemen re
ceived their fees by a legislative act
and of course no question could be
raised as to its Validity.'
Auditor Ayer says that he en
dorsed the warrant, actinglnaccord-
ance with the provisions of section
3320, chapter 41 of the Code, which
says:'- . . .
'Whenever any suit br'legaT prof
ceeding is pending against the state
or which may: result In any claim
against the state, or affect the title
of this state to any property; he may i
direct the attorney general to appear i
on behalf of the state, and may em
ploy suoh additional counsel as he
may judge expedient; and by direc
tum of the Governor the 'Auditor
shall draw his warrant on the Treas
urer to compensate said counsel." -
Jibe auditor, says , that be was.
governed by precedent in issuing a
warrant for $356 for the expenses of
the governor's staff incurred in at
tending the inauguration of Presi
dent McKinley. He says that the
trip of the governor and staff to the
Chicago exposition cost the state
$1,005., , ' . ,

Progressive Fanner on the Legislature. :
"But few good bills of any impor
tance were passed. ' Possibly some
good bills of a local nature went
through. The buying up of men to
elect Prltohard prevented any good
that the legislature might have done.
Of course the election of Pritchard
was only one of. the duties expected
of the pie above - prinoiple gang.
They; or a partof them, were brought
into service whenever monopoly and
plutocracy wanted a measure passed
or defeated. And toe democratic
and republican members, with a
few exceptions, were always ready
to assist. , The good done by the
legislature could' be printed in a
small pamphlet. The bad done and
the good omitted would fill several
large volumes, "

opinion : 1 Have only the date of the
fight of CorbettandFitzsimmons, not
the hour or other data necessary to
a correct judgment, but what I can
see from the Incomplete premises be
fore me, Corbett frill be fortunate if
Fits does not kill him, and Fitz will
be lucky if he escapes hanging or
imprisonment for killing Corbett.' "

Naturally, when persons seek for

and success of any one who professes
to ameliorate the condition of suffer

counts for the most Is that which
comes from intelligent and thorough

which Rev. Pr. W, S. Creasy, the

people to know that every one of the
successful applicants with two or
