The following is a copy of the corres pondence between State Auditor Fur man and Attorney General Osborne concerning Hon. J. E. Bryan: Raleigh. N. C June 19, 1895. Hon. Ft I. Osborne, Attorney General, Dear Sir I respectfully ask your attention to the case of in re Martin, 60th N. C. Reports. Therein it seems to have been held that the acceptance of one position of trust or profit would vacate any other office of trust or profit held by the party accepting. Hon. J. E. Bryan was a member of the late General Assembly for - Chatham. He was appointed by said Assembly a member of a committee to investigate the claims of Mrs. P. D. B. Arrington. He qualified as such committeeman by attending meetings of the committee on the 14th, 15th and 19th days ol March. Since that date he has taken the oath of office as a Director of the Penitentiary under the law pass ed by the recent Assembly, and claim ins to be a member of said Board is suing for the same as I am informed by his attorney, Mn W. H. Day. Does this taking the oath and claiming, to the ex tent of bringing suit, operate to vacate bis positions as member oi tne uenerai Assembly and tbereiore ot tne tommit tee Of the Assembly to investigate the Arrington matter? An early reply is specially requested. . ROBT. M. FURMAN, Auditor. Charlotte, N. C, June 22. Hon. R. M. Fnrman, Auditor, Raleigh, N.C. Dbar Sir: Enclosed you will find your letter of June 19th with reference to the case ol tbe Hon. I. b.. Bryan, in reply to the qnestions therein contained. 1 have the honor to say, tsy virtue oi section 7, article 14 of the State Consti tution, no one can hold two offices or places of trust or profit under the au thority of this State at one and the same time. It is well settled law, if while hold ing one office one accepts another, the act of acceptance vacates the one which he holds. Taking tbe oath required oy the Constitution is a well recognized method of accepting an office. A mem ber of the Legislature is an officer within the meaning of this section, and so is a Director in the Penitentiary. Mr. J. E. Bryan being at the time a member of the Lesrislatnre Qualified by taking the oath as a Director of the Penitentiary, having been appointed to the last office by the last Legislature. His taking the oath was an acceptance of the office of Direc tor, and must ol necessity vacate nis ot- fice as Legislator, and as- a member of the committee to which you allude. I do not see how there can be any doubt about the conclusion. Very respectfully, F.J. Osbornx. Attorney General. Special Star Telegram. The citizens meeting to-night in honor of the memory of R. S.

Gentlemen of Second Regiment Band, N.C.S.G: I have been delegated as President of the Second Regiment Band of Wilming ton, to extend to you a neartieit and cordial welcome to our city by the sea, and the free use of our band room during your stay with us. The latch siring to the door will be on the outside, the key temporarily lost; so all you will have to do will be to walk in. We welcome you to our sea breezes; we welcome ' you to our time-honored and historical Rock Spring, whieh, according to the legend of the Cape Fear, is that charm fountain, the water of which once imbibed ever draws the visitor to drink again. You are welcome to our mosquitoes, if you can find any, and regret that we haven't a well-stocked hornet s nest to give them battle We deal in no fulsome praise when we say that the strong tie of friend ship, which has always existed between Wilmington and Charlotte, is nighty ap preciated by us. We are bound together by the ties of affection, which I trust will ever remain so. Again, gentlemen, we welcome you, and assure you we receive you within our homes as within our hearts. Mr. Monroe's address was responded to by Drum Major Daniel E. Smith, of Charlotte and Mr.Gre&well. of Concord, who both made speeches thanking the band for courtesies and the hospitable reception.

Another Important Srror ot the Beeent Iiegtalature Discovered. Raleigh News-Observer. Section 21 of the Revenue Act ratified 12 March, 1895, which levies the merch ant's purchase tax and which requires returns of purchases to be made on 18th day of January and July of each year, has heretofore allowed the clerk of the Board of Commissioners a fee of 15 cts., from each person for each snch return. The latter clause in said section should have read as tallows: "For service required of the- clerk of the Board of County Commissioners in this section, he shall receive a fee of fif teen cents from each person on making bis first return of purchases for each year, also fifteen cents for second re turn of each year, which last, mentioned fee shall be allowed by the County Com missioners and paid by the County Treasurer. But the enrolling clerk left out "also a fee of fifteen cents for sec ond return of each year." and thus it is the clerks must lose the fee for the second return. Each day some gross error occurs proving the incompetency of tbe Fusion Legislature. Experience is a dear teach er but the eyes of North Carolinians have been opened. For Carolina Beaon.

It is, however, a stock com pany, and issues absolutely non-participating and non-assessable poli cies. Its mutual feature consists In a charter provision, that one-third of its directors must be POLICY HOLDERS who are NOT stock holders elected by the POLICY HOLDERS; this is a very strong point, the policy-holders who have great interests at stake, have a share in the management of the Company, and will always know its condition. Bet'er than this, tbe CAROLINA MUTUAL deposits all premiums re ceived at this agency to their credit with the WILMINGTON SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANY. This makes it practically a local company. The directors of the company are : P. M. BROWN. Of Brown. Weddington & Co.. Wholesale Hardware E. B. SPRINGS, Of E. B. Springs & Co., Fertilizers and Wagons. M. P. PEGRAM.
