SEC. 787. Fees to be paid by the advancing party. — The fees of the clerk of the Supreme Court shall be paid to him, at the time of the entry of the action in the Supreme Court by the party who enters the action in the Supreme Court, by bill of exceptions, or appeal, or otherwise, and the clerk shall in all cases give a receipt for the same and shall enter the amount received upon his book, specifying the date when received, person from whom received, name of action in which received, and amount received. If the fees are not paid, the court may refuse to proceed with the action until they are paid and may dismiss the bill of exceptions or appeal for failure to prosecute if the fees are not paid within a reasonable time and after reasonable notice.
