As the matter now stands It looks very much ns If Sheriff Cousins will have to get along with a smaller lorce of deputies than has been the rule heretofore When the Hoard of County Supervisors at Its session jtstcrday afternoon came to tackle the matter of approving the bonds and fix ing the salaries of the deputies appointed by Cousins It ran against an unforeseen and unexpected obstacle County Attorney Kllpack called the board's ' attention to the law which provides that the board shall fix the salary of the sheriff at $2,600 per annum and of the deputies At nn amount not to exceed $1,000 per an num each , but the total expenses of the olllco In thu wa > of salaries shall not ex ceed the tecelpts of the olllce. It Is this restriction which is now con cerning the board and gieatly worrjlng Shcrin Cousins and his appointees The estimated ioc.olpts of the olllce , It Is figured , will not bo sufficient to the number of dep uties appointed by Cousins I In checking up the business of the slier- i Ift'n ollico for ISOI the board discovered that it paid out In salaries to Sheriff Morgan and his deputies In the neighborhood of $3,000 more than the of- llco had earned The question has natu rally arisen , Who shall stand this , the slier- Ill or the countv According to the county attorney there is nothing In the statutes that would authorize the board In charg ing the eiim to the county and the general opinion expressed yesterdaj afternoon nt the board meeting was that Morgan would bo liable llonril O\i-iclr ' Hit * Vri'ount. The oversight In allowing these c\ces pavments of Pilaries was due to the facl that the board was unaware the law- pro hibited it allowing moie for salaries In the sheriff's olllce than the office earned In j the way of fees Tor the first six month1 of IS'ti Sheriff Morgan tinned into the county treasurer $2'JOO. representing tht earnings of the olllce for that period He has not made his llnal report vet , but It Is estimated that his turnover will amount tt about the same sum , thus making In roum : numbers $ , " , SOO that the olllre earned during the last twelve months The salaries ol the sheriff and hh deputies are always pali by warrants on the countv treasurer ant not deducted by the sheriff from the fees wh ! < h conio Into his hands The salarj list for the last vear amounted to aboul $1000. which Is more by $3,200 than the re ceipts of the ndlcc or than the law per mitted to be piitl Shcilff Cousins submitted his appointment of the following deputies to the board J C Hiker , Ed Canning , W.
