Syllabus

<p>County Printing—Great Register—Authority of County Clerk— Power of Supervisors.—A county clerk had no authority as the law stood in 1892, to bind the county by Ms contract to print the Great Register for the county; but the authority to provide printed copies of the Great Register was devolved, by section 34 of the County Government Act of 1891, upon the board of supervisors, who are the chief legislative and executive authority of the county.</p> <p>Id.—Statutory Construction—Effect of Specific Provisions.—Where there are in an act specific provisions relating to a particular subject, they must govern in respect to that subject, as against general provisions in other parts of the statute, although the latter, standing alone, would be broad enough to include the subject to which the more particular provisions relate.</p>
