In doing my research of my home state of Ms. where I also reside I too have encountered the same problems. In Neshoba county the circuit clerk Patty Duncan Lee absolutely refuses to let you take pictures or copy the marriage license of Neshoba. the same goes for Sunflower Co. On the other hand when I go home to Bolivar Co. the clerk is very cordial and says no matter how old and even if they are hand sewn we can copy them. I applauded her. Leflore County is always nice to and never charge me. I don't believe I have paid any thing in Bolivar either. I requested divorce records on my grand father and first wife and also on his oldest son and first wife. Lauderdale Co. copies them and mailed them to me right away. I sent a check back to cover the cost. I think the Clerks that refuse to help us need to be voted out of office. How else will we get our records together if they don't understand Genealogy? I did write another county asking for copies of the marriage license and this county does not copy but turned it over to a researcher with out my consent and she copied and sent me a bill.
