say $75.00? Please explain how
much would orphans,7 minors or
any one interested in suoh small
estates get, when the Editor, Sher
Iff, Clerk and lawyers got so much
under the former law? Whore is
the food, clothing andgother com
forts? Who gets them? Not
the heirs of that small estate.
But under the law passed by
the last General Assembly or
numibsculls as you calls, there is
food for all, and not a few gets
all.
I thought the intention of the
law was to protect the weak. Why
should we maintain a law that
gives the shoriff, olerk, lawyer
and printer all of tboso small
estates all ever this State?
I have very much respeet for
the above named professions and
officers, but at the same time I
have .sympathy for the orphans
and heirs (f small estates. I do
not think they should he robbed
by legislation becauso theyr are
suall estates. I would to God
tbat there were moro of them in
this country. ;,Tho people would
bo better contented, bappier and
more social..
You say it cost as much to set
kle up and partition out an estate
worth $6 as it does to settle up a
$6,000 estate. According to this
theory the county should tax every
body alike, for it takes as much
time and paper to write a return
for a man that returne $5 as one
that returns;$5,000. and the samo
size receipts.
"We suppose the Legislature

Why is the Editor of tho Bonti
nel kicking? Is not the foo bill a
tax on estate that have to be set
tIed up? The heirs of those small
edtates can feel whore the tax is
lowered. Tho same power that
legislated tho fee bill in belinif of
those editors and oflcers saw fit to
legislate a little sympathy in bohalf
of the small estato, for it Booms
that it is the only way sympathy

It think I undlortanid the intent
of the Editor of tho Sentinal injhis

iuch the last legislature as

which I had the honor of being a

put the appropriatisns back to

I cast my vote to rednec the ex

mp iport in reducing the fee bill
