The Ordinary’s office is supplied with all necessary up-to-date books which are well kept. .No money belonging to the county passes through the hands of the Ordinary, yet we looked into the fees which the law prescribes and are glad to report that said law has not been violated. The law requires all persons or firms sub ject to pay “special tax’* to regis ter in the Ordinary’s office, in a book kept for that purpose. A ' m few names only appear on this register. We are satisfied that there are others in the county who ought to register and pay said tax. Clerk.
