He shall permit the trial before him of any cause, but upon the approval and acceptance of an adequate bond, he shall transfer the cause, together with the bond and warrant, if any, to a magistrate having proper jurisdiction. He shall take the usual oath of office taken by other magistrates in the county and post a surety bond in the amount of ten thousand dollars with the Clerk of Court for Horry County, the cost of which must be paid by Horry County. The compensation of the magistrate-at-large must be set by the governing body of the county.
