MR. DUTCHER
THUS OFFICERS
His Be-oort on Fee System
Contained Appreciation
of Courtesies Shown.
In Thursday’s Herald was given a
portion of the report made by Salem
Dutcher, Esq., to the county commis
sion in regard to the fee system. Ow
ing to the exigencies of space some
of the report was omitted. This part
is given below. It embodies a state
ment in regard to the cordial manner
in which the various officers assisted
Mr. Dutcher in obtaining the desired
data and also gives further informa
tion in regard to the change of the
officers from the fee system to a sal
ary basis. The ommitted portion fol
lows :
Lastly, there is to be considered
the subject of pacing th e solicitors,
clerk, and sheriff on a salary instead
of a fee basis. For reasons which
will hereafter become apparent, it is
necessary to consider the two courts
separately on this matter.
The solicitor general is a constitu
tional officer. His salary is fixed by
the organic law, and while the gen
eral assembly may, by a two-thirds
vote of each house, increase or dimin
ish the amount no such change can
affect any officer then in commission.
His compensation by fees is fixed by
the general state law and no local
law can alter it.
The clerk of the superior court and
the sheriff are county officers, and
their compensation by fees is fixed by
general law, and no local law ca
change it, though any local law giv
ing them or the solicitor general ad
ditional compensation out of the coun
ty treasury is subject to repeal at any
time.
The city court is a purely statutory
court. It has no constitutional sta
tus. It may be created, altered or
abolished by the general assemhfly
in any county at any time. What is
said of the court itself applies to its
officers. Their compensation is pure
ly statutory, and the amount and na
ture of that compensation may law
fully be changed at any time.
There is no legal obstacle in the
way of legislation which would put
the solicitor, clerk and sheriff of
Richmond city court on a salary in
stead of a fee basis; nor is there any
Lovely Hair
Easy to Have it When You Get Rid
of Dandruff.
To properly treat the hair so that
it will grow abundantly and luxuri
antly, one should first banish dan
druff and stop falling hair and itch
ing scalp. This can easily be done
it kills them so promptly that the
Viost skeptical give it praise.
But Parisian Sage is more than a
cure for dandruff —it will make hair
grow on any head where the hair bulb
is not altogether dead.
And we want every reader of the
Augusta Herald to know that Parisian
Sage is the most delightful hair dress
ing in the world. It is so pleasant to
use, and its effect is so invigorating
and refreshing, that it pleases every
body.
And to the ladies we wish to em
phasize the fact that Parisian Sage
is the only hair tonic in the world
guaranteed to make the hair grow
luxuriant, soft and beautiful.
The girl with the Auburn hair is
on every bottle of Parisian Sage. It
is sold by druggists everywhere, and
by Alexander Drug Co., for 50 cents
a large bottle. Mail orders filled, ex
press prepaid from the Giroux Mfg.
Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

SSPEESV RELIEF.
legal obstacle to an act which would
require all fines and forfeitures col
ilected in this court to be paid into the
1 county treasury; and the grand jury
!has full and ampl e authority to rec
ommend the passage of a local act
to this effect should it see tit to do
so.
If such legislation were enacted the
officers of the city court would then
be on a salary basis; bin for the rea
sons just stated, th e officers of the
superior court would still remain un
der the fee system. The local law's
which authorize payment out of the’
county treasury to the officers of the
city court would be repealed, but the
i laws which allow such payment to the
officers of the superior court would
| stM? remain of force. There is no le
igal obstacle to the repeal of these
j laws also, but in that case the offi
| cers of the superior court would re
jceive practically no compensation at
jail in criminal cases. Crimes are of
J tw'o great classes, the more heinous
'which are called “felonies,” and the
lesser offences which are called “mis
demeanors.” No fine can be inflicted
on a felony case, save in the rare and
exceptional instance where it is re
duced to a misdemeanor, but all mis
demeanor cases are fineable. In the
way in which criminal business is con
ducted under the duplex judicial sys
tem existent in this county, the su
perior court tries all the felony, or
non-fineable cases, and the city court
tries all the misdemeanors, or fine
able, cases, with the result that the
officers of the superior court only
bring in a stray fine now and then,
and while the officers of the city
court bring in a steady stream of
them. There is a complete supervis
ion of the old practice where the su
i perior court tried all criminal cases,
fineable and non-fineable, paid its of
ficers out of the fines, and had not in
frequently a surplus for the county
treasury.
By going back to that system, the
substantial object that the last grand
jury had in view could be readily ob
tained. If this county were made a
separate circuit, thereby enabling the
judge of the superior court to devote
his entire attention to it, and that
court were made the only court, all
local laws providing for the payment
of officers of court out of the county
treasury could be repealed without
any injury to these officers. The
vexed question of fees or salary
would settle itself, and instead of be
ing constantly drawn on, the county
treasury would most probably be a
recipient of revenue, not to speak of
having only one court to support in
stead of two as at present.
There is no legal obstacle to the en
actment of legislation of this charac
ter should the same be deemed ad
visable.
In this as in all other matters men
tioned in this report, it is distinctly
to be understood that I am taking no
position, and making no suggestions,
but confining myself simply to the
matter entrusted to me, namely, the
presentation of facts and law for the
information of the constituted au
thorities and such action as they may
isee fit to take thereon.
| In conclusion I take great pleasure
in stating that every one of the four
gentlemen above mentioned promptly
volunteered the fullest possible lnfor.
mation in reference to the matters re
specting his office and that I am un
] der sincere obligations to the county
treasurer for his kind aid in the ex
amination made. It has been my aim
to be just and accurate, anfi if in any
particular I may have inadvertently
j erred no man will be more prompt to
make proper amends.
