It will be seen by the following
lettsr from the ttorney-Genoral to
the Secretary of State that, among
oiner iniogs, me legislature at toe
recent session has extended the
time for the redemption of land sold
Jo the State for taxes, until 1st of
January, 1831, and that to delin
quents who may redeem before 12th
March. 1880, special inducements
are offered :
Att'y. Gen'ls. Office, 1
Raleigh.Mv. 22, '79 J
To the Secretary of State : . ,f,
I have the honor to - reply to'
yours requesting my opinion -upojj
the acts of 1879, in regard to the
extension of time for redeeming: of
land, and for the relief of land own
ers, and will dispose of the poinW
in the order in which they are pers
secuted by your communication :
1 Do you consider the acts in
conflict with each other ?
The act entitled "for the relief of
land owners whose land has been
sold to the State for taxes," pro
vides that if within a year from its
ratification the party pay to the.
Treasurer the taxes due at the time
of sale and also the taxeg that may
have accrued since the sale, and 10
per cent, on amount due at the time
of sate, the Secretary shall execute
a deed of conveyance, etc. Ratfied
March 13, 1879.
The a&t entitled "to extend the
time to redeem land sold for taxes
and bought by the State" simply
extends the time for redemption
until January 1st, 1881, but upon
the condition of paying all taxes
due at the time of sale, and the per
cent, required by law, and also all
such taxes as would have been due
upon the land, hai no sale taken
place, etc. Ratified March 13,
1870.
The settled rule for the construc
tion of statutes relating to the same
subject matter, is to view them to
gether, as a whole, and if possible
to carry out the legislative intent.
And unless it plainly appears that
they are in conflict with the eons'.i-
Matfon, effect should be given to
them, and each of them, because it
is presumed the legislature design-
d that they should not be anulity.
.4fcer a careful consideration of
these acta above cited, I think they
vi e .
are reconciiaoie tor toe reasons
hereinafter stated.
2. What per cent, is the delin
quent to pay prior to March Id,
1880 ; add what alter that date and
prior to January 1st, 1881 ?
Under the act "for the relief of
and-owners," one year is given for
redemption, if tbe delinquent avails
himself of its benefits be it required
to pay 10 per cent, in addition to
the cjst8,etc. The legislatdre seems
to have intended to favor those who
would redeem in one year after the
ratification of the act, by reducing
the per contage required by the
general law, t L 1 1 is to qay, if the
d nipnou wa- iicrtec'.ed prior to
March LSSC, after which Ute j
he act expires or its own limita- !
i 1 r.'.L..
i?n, ana no mriunr luuuigyu-je
couid bo had under it.
Now between Much 13, 1880
i,iid January 1st, 181, the arc "to
fxte&d the time to redeem" can
operate in full force without coi-flict
with the other, and both can nave
a chance to contribute to the relief
of delinquent taxpayers. It must
be observed however, that the terms
upon which redemption is had under
the last mentioned act, are not so
favorable : for if the year elapses
ae provided in the first mentioned
act, the per cent, to be paid, is that
"required by law." And the law
siys it shall be 25 per cent. Acts
1876- 77, xhap. 155, sec. 6i, re
enacted in the present revenue and
machinery act. So, tbe conclusion
is, if a delinquent redeem prior to
March 12, 18S0, he is required to
pay 10 per cent ; if after the time
and betore January 1, lcol, he is
required to pay 25 per cent.
3. In reply to your question m
reference to the cancellation and
return of deed upon the payment of
money, I will state that J think
the only purpose of this provision
is to re-invest the party with the
title to the land redeemed. The
legislature has prescribed the mode
of doing it, and I take it that what
ever is directed to be done should
be done. Therefore, daring the
year ending March 13, 1880, the
Secretary should execute the deed
as provided in the first mentioned
act ; and in order to conduce to xhe
reconciliation of the apparently
conflictieg statutes on this subject,
1 think he should devise a conven
lent method of releasing the party
by a quit-claim deed of the State,
"to be endorsed upon the deed con-
vpyisg the property -it tbe fetite,
(alter cancellation,) and fix hi3 8el,
returning the papers to the delin
quent, and.nqtiog the samo on, tke
bookr in hia eflice. - ..-
Afur the lih' of March, 1880,
the mode prescribed in acts of 18T6

The origin of "Dixie's Land" is
thus given : When slavery existed
in New York, one "Dixy owned a
large tract- of land on Manhattan.
Island And a large number or slaves.
The increase of the abolition senti
ment, caused an emigration ef the
slaves to more thorough and secure
slave sections ; and the slaves who
were thus sent off many being
born there naturally looked back
to their old homes, w"hero they had
lived in clover, with feelings of re
gret, as ther ctfnld norimagine any
piaCC 11K.O J12LJ o. iicuiio lb uo-
came synonomousiwith an ideal lo
cality, combinine esse, comtort and
material habpinessof erery descrip
tion. In those days negro singing:
and minstrelsy were in: their infan
cy, and any subject that could be
wrought into a ballad was eagerly
pieked up. This was the case with
"Dixie." It was first set to music
and introduced -as a song by Dan
Emmet, a elever and popular negro
commedian, author of several pleas
ing negro melodies. t wa sang
in New York, qnd assumed thepro-i
portioaa of a song there. Its ori
gin has been described as Southern,
but such is not the case. During
any time within the last eighty
years the term "Dixie's Land' has
been ia use with the Newybrk'
