The extra clerks in the Office of the County
Clerk who have been working several
months under the appointment of the Board
of Supervisors making new indices and
registers in place of worn out ones and do
ing other work of that nature, were dis
charged on Saturday afternoon as indicated
few days ago. Only one or two had the
courage to finish out the Cay, but left the
Office about the middle of the afternoon. 1t
is said that the reason of the discharge of
the extra clerks before the entire work was
finished was that there was too much
soldering" and too great an amount of the
peoples money was being paid for empty
chairs. 1t is also said that some of the
records of the county have been allowed to
remain for months in an incomplete condi-
ton, for which the present officers are not
responsible.
