MR. STOUT ON THE
COUNTY PAY ROLL
Some surprise was caused at the
meeting of the Levy Court yesterday
afternoon, when a communication was
received from the Judges of the
of General Sessions, requesting that
Frank Stout, probation officer, be
placed on the county payroll at a
salary of $100 a month. Mr. Stout
had been selected by the court to do
the work under the new non-support
and desertion act. Mr. Scott said
that he had only one thing to say
and that was that he wished the
Judges fixed the salaries of the Levy
Court Commissioners. The members
agreed that there was nothing to do
but pay the salary, and ordered Mr
Stout placed on the pay roll.
