St'PClNTI NDFN'T OF I t-Bl-lciNTntUCTlON.
RiiriGi;, Nov. 27. xSS;.
SAtrrjf ff 'County..
Dcir Sir: It has been doubted
whc'Jicr the shcrilf and Ux collectors
of the counliri named in the fallowing
opinion of the Attorney GcccTal have
aurhoritv to cu!,c sri.ool taxes bvlvv
and sate from and after the first daj of
November, as provided section 3S,
chapter 137, laws 1SS7.
The Attorney Cier.cral' o'nica
d.irly sets forth this ripht nd Jcty.
I trust that every clTort will be made
not only in counties herein named, but
in all the counties, to collect and put
into ihe hands of the treasurer of the
county board of education all school)
fundi on or before the 31st cf Decern-
a ?
ucr vs tne law uires.
A failure to dj this very muJi dis
turbi the operitions cif the school sys
tem, "and is very damaging lothcichool
interests.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
. S. M. Finger.
SujL Public Instruction.
Hon. S. M. Fuigcr, Supi. Public In
strvctivn :
Raleigh.'Nov. 25th, 18S7.
Dear Sir. In rcsjionse to yrur re
quest of thii thtc I have examined
chapter 150, laws cf 1SS3 and chapter
78, laws of 18S7 amendatory thereof,
extending the period of annual settle
ment with the State Treasurer by the
tax collectors of 'he counties 01 Rock
ingham, Guilford, Caswell. Orange;
Durham, Person, Gram-lie, Vance,
Forsyth, Stokes, Yadkin, Surry, .Bun
combe, Haywood, tadison, Davidson,
Rowan and Davie "until the first day
of May in each and every year."
It seems to me quite clear that this
act only applies to thoc taxes which
arc required to be paid into the State
Treasury, and docs not embrace those
imposed for idiocl purposes, which,
while levied by specific enactment of
the General Assembly, are required to
be accounted for and paid to the Coun
ty Treasurer and disbursed under tlie
sujervisicn of the county authorities.
The Code, sections -2,552-2,565.
The State Treasuicr has nothing to
do with them. Th; amendatory act
referred to provides that "the sheriffs
of the counties mentioned in this sec
tion" (s.ction 1, chapter 150, laws 1SS3)
"shall not levy on property or sj'i un
der execution until after the fifteenth
day of March." It is obvious that this
provision only applies to these taxes
mentioned in the act of which it is
amendatary, to-wit, taxes required to
be paid into the State treasury.
This construction is justified not on
ly by the wording of tnc acts, but uqion
principles of sou nil public policy. A
different interpretation would suspend
for many months, if not entirely destroy
the public schools within the counties
named, and disorganize the general and
nniu rr.i svstem of public education
provided by our laws. It will not be
presumed that the general assembly
contemplated such a purpose in the en
actment of thcc statute.
In; my pinion itis'the duty of the
tax cii'.cctoTs and sh.riifs in every
county in this State to collect and pay
over to the treasure! of their rcsjicctive
counties uencr bcf.rc the thirty first
day cf December cf each vear the
whole amount levied" for school pur
joses therein ; and to enable them to
do so they have alHhc power and. au
thority to levy and sell property con
f erred by law for the collection of other
iounty taxes.
I am. sir, very truly yours,
Theo. F. Davidson,
Attorney General N. C-
There is do doubt about the honest
worth cf Ayer's Sarsapirilla as a blood
jxiriacr. Thousands, who have been
benefitted by its ue, ul attest its vir
tue. This remedy cures liver and

trace of disease from the swtem.

To take ordinary ink out of linen,
dip the ink spot in pure melted tallow

The bet remedy for burns is claim -d
