JURORS WILL GET
 S3 NEXT COURT
ACT NOT YET IN FORCE
PAY OF CIRCUIT COURT JUR- ORS INCREASED UNDER LAW
 EFFECTIVE AUGUST 13.


 during the recent term of the Faulk her circuit court will not receive any Increased pay for their services, bu, those who serve in future circuit courts will get $3 per diem and those summoned but not accepted will als, be paid five cents per mile for the distance they travel in going to anc coming from court.
 The question as to whether the iu. TOTS pay would be $2 or S3 arose last week when Circuit Clerk J. H. Hartie was issuing their certificates, but as no one knew the exact provisions of the new act, MT. Hartje paid them of at the cid rate. promising that he would secure 9 certified copy of the new law and issue additional certifi- cates accordingly, if they were allow. ed under it's provisions. The copy ot the new act, which is known as the frledell law. was received today. It was approved by the governor March g, 1911, but. as it does not pear ,l.e emergency clause" it does not be come effective until August 13, 91 days after the adjournment of the regular session of the general assem- bly,.
 It IS estimated that the addition of $1 per day and mileage to the pay oi jurors will increase the cost of cir cult court in this county about $500 annually. This estimate is based or the assumption that court is usually in session about 20 days each year, 1e grand jurors and "A petit jurors thus costing about s2,40O for the year, as compared with $1,600 under the ole rate of pay, while the mileage will ado several dollars to this sum.
 A copy of the new act in full is published below:
