Cochineal.

Cochineal. so much used for coloring
table jellies and also given to infants
as domestic remedy for whooping
cough, is the whole insect of class
called coccus. but only the females are
used. Why? Because the insects are
captured by suffocating them with the
smoke of fires below the trees on
which they live. and as the males have
wings. while the females have none.
the gentlemen take to fight when
the atmosphere becomes unpleasaptly
warm. leaving their ladies to their
fate.

DORSEY HOLDS UP
EXCESS FEE FUND
County Commissioners Await His
Ruling Before Carrying Out
New Salary Act,

The County Commission is awaiting
to-day a special ruling by Luther
Rosser. County Attorney as to the
disposition of an excess fund accu-
mulated by Solicitor Dorsey, of the Su-
perior Court. since January /, that. in
the opinion of the Solicitor, should be
applied to unpaid court costs in the
years before the salary act.
The question was discussed by the
County Board Wednesday, but action
was deferred until the County At
torney should submit an opinion. Then
the Board probably will take the ac-
ton outlined by Mr.. Rosser.
Under the salary act. effective the
first Of this year, ali fees are TO be
turned over to the County Treas
urer. but the payrolls could not be
provided for from the excess fees from
another department until the CNpira-
ton of three months.
Fees Did Not Pay Salaries.
The result was that the offices of
the Sheriff and Solicitor Dorsey did
not earn a sufficient amount in fees
40 make ull lllt pay ipli9 ibi NiiV w
departments. and for three months
had only been receiving a portion of
the provided salary.
The same act provided, however,
that at the end of three months the
excess accumulated in fees from de-
partments that turned over an excess
of operating expenses should be dis
tributed to the departments whose
fees did not meet expenses.
This phase Of the salary act work
ed out satisfactorily, and the auditor
was authorized TO distribute the eX-
cess fund in the departments where
there was any deficiency.
Dorsey Causes Legal Hitch.
The only hitch came from legal
point raised by Solicitor General Dor
sew, who declares that fines collected
in his court should be applied to un-
paid costs arising in the years before
the salary act became effective. This
does not include the fees in his court.
For instance. before the salary act,
the Solicitor was entitled to fee in
every case, usually paid by the de-
PENDANT. 1t often happened the de-
PENDANT could not pay the fee. II was
charged to "insolvent costs and 1t is
to these costs that Mr.. Dorsey says
the fines collected now should be ap-
piled.
