The last legislature passed an act
cutting down the fees of all the county
officers in the state, but the act ,nly
referred to Pitt county alone. There
fore the County Solicitor, Mr. B. R.
Moore, give it as his legal opinion that
it only referred to the officers of Pitt
county, he communicated with the, At
torney General of the state and received'
the following answer, which seems to
settle the question for the present:
''State of North Carolina,
!" Office of- Attorney Genekal,
i "Raleigu, April 29, 1879.
uMy Dear Sir; The act referred to in
your letter is in Chap; 293, Laws 1879,
aud I tiuink, by its title, is to be taken
ha only applicable to Pitt county. It
entitled 'An Act to Regulate the Fees
of Certain Officers in Pitt County."

We are iu formed that there has been
one morrf charge of the Light LTon?e
Pemocracy in our neighboring county
of Brunswick. This time by the rear
guard, and. ended in the capture of that
efficient and trustworthy officer, Wm.
Brown, Deputy Sheriff and keeper of
the county jail. The squadron was un
der the command of Capt. Chinnis, of
Town Creek, who signed his name with
a title in the face of the earnest protest
of a large majority of the legal voters
of that county, as well as in defiance td
every principle of Republican or Dem
ocratic form of Government to which
the people of that good old peaceful
county have been educated by their
good lathers of old 76. ' '

spoils ot the Treasury, but cama out

more harm than good. William's Oint
