The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1900-10-24

In regard to the matter of fees,
costs, etc that county oficers may
charge, Attorney General Bellinger
has prepared the following opinion of
interest to every county 10 the State.
IL is in reply to letter from Will K.
Jones. Esq, of Holly Hill:
Dear Sir In your letter of the
10th inst. you ask, for publication,
my opinion as to the construction of
the law Of 1899 relative to the fees,
costs. ETC., of your county officers.
Without quoting in full your letter.
| proceed to answer az follows:
II SCENE to be very clear, under
the act of 1899, D 189. aud the acts
thereby amended, that your county
officers are absolutely prohibited
from receiving any "costs, commits
sions, chsrges and fees" except the
clerk OF court. who is permitted to
receive "the fees now allowed by
law as register of mesue convey.
ance." and the sheriff, who is TO re.
oeive special compensation therein
mentioned for bis duties in conneo.
tion with the collection OF tax execu
tions. and "suoh fees derived from
civil business as now prescribed by
law"
can fud nothing in the act allow.
ing the probate judge to retain any
fees Of Office. but the salary, in lieu
of oil fees, etc 10 fixed ct 5000. 90
Az to the compensation of the
sheriff end the clerk Of court for servi.
Gee rendered 10 drawing aud serving
jurors, ! will cay that in my opinion
this not being one Of the du.ies of
the clerk % "register of mesne con.
veyance," his remuneration therefor
10 Included in the $400 stated 40 his
salary. aud when the sheriff performs
bic duties In this connection it may
bs considered % "civil business in
the court Of common pleas" and az
''criminal business" if they are to
serve only in the court of general
sessions
l cannot see any reason for q diff
ference Of opinion ss to the meaning
OF the act when It comes to the
salary OF the auditor, as the law
distinctly ssys ths. he shall pay into
the county treasury such commits.
slons ss he may now be entitled to
from the State, 40 that bic total COM
pensstion shall not exceed $500, as il
Is clear to me that this $500 must be
10 full OF ell money received by him
from the public by way of compensa.
tion.
AZ last question, you ask wheth
or the 81 fee collections by the treas
ure is to be turned over to the coun.
ty treasury and wheter the county
treasurer has Q right to rebate that
dollar fee to deliquent tsxpsyers ?"
In reply | will cay that this fee ia TO
be turned into the county treasury
and the County Treasurer has
no right to make this rebate to
any one. the money being as soon %
collected, public funds, which he
holds ~ trustees, and ne violates the
conditions OF his bond if he makes
any such disposition as that suggest,
ed in the question.

potency as Juror. he was not of the age
Of twenty-One years and has not vet at
tained that age. and that George G. Lewis
was but little over the age of twenty
years. and had been convicted Of the crime
OF petty larceny In the Police Court Of the
District Of Columbia several times prior to
the making OF the afidavits as to his
qualifications and competency"
In view Of the foregoing. SO say the
caveators. through Attorneys Charles Foe
and c. E. Emig. George G. Lewis was not a
competent or qualified Juror.
The motion is supported by affidavits Of
