Bankrupt costs in South Carolina weighed in Mercurys note
The Mercury notes the District Court filings on bankruptcies in South Carolina and estimates total court expenses per case. It details attorney, marshal, clerk, and register fees, totaling about 108 dollars per suit, with broader costs projected across many cases. The piece critiques high government fees and suggests fixed salaries for bankruptcy officers to reduce overall burden on debtors and creditors. It also weaves in satirical commentary on political figures and historical allusions.
