. - (THE MORNtttG POST- THURSDAY. APGUST ? I9oa Commissions on School Funds to Co. Treasurers Excessive Commissions Al lowed in Some Counties. ' X." Attorney General Gil mer Renders an Opinion , .1 j Some trouble i developing in the office of the Sopermtendent of PubHc Instruc tion with number of county treasurer! tot compensation commissions allowed as treasurers of school funds. A. few of the county treasurer have chaTgd one-haif of one per cent on school fund receipts. In cue instance the county treasurer c harped two per cent on tate -warrants sent to him.' It PPtQTed that he had not been taking ny cormnission on receipts until - last year. Then. acting on the dvie of is county attorney, he charged one-half of one per vent n his receipts for the two previous yeaTS. The amount he charged waa the commuaskms on $30,778. The State Superintendent thought that under section S of the school law the inKvnrrer waa not entitled to any com nil$ion on receipts or State warrants, end so informed the treasurer in that county.' The treasurer expressed a will irxnea to abide by the law, but stated that he had oeen mJtowfd these com missions by the Board of Education on the sdiice of the county attorney. The l-cnrd therefore refused to require the treasurer to refund the excessive com tni sfions. The State Superintendent therefore re ferred the whole matter to the Attorney General. The county attorney rested his opinion that the treasurer was en titled to commissions on receipts on section T70 of The Code. The Attorney General, on the other I caiKi. nays: "The purpose of the second paragraph of section 770 of The Code as declared therein was to provide compensation for the treasurer In his capacity as treas urer of the County Board of Education. Section 18, chapter 103, Laws 1SS0, deals with the fame subject, and says: 'lie shall be allowed lor compensation as treasurer of the school fund such sum as the Board of Education may allow him not to exceed two per cent of his vouchers paid on orders of school com mrttees. "It would seem that inasmuch as this section deals wkh the question of the compensation of the treasurer in its en tirety and provides that "such sum may be allowed hhn, not to exceed two per cent of his vouchers paid on orders of nchool committees, that any preceding statute allowing a greater aum would be repealed. "Ion will observe that that noruon of section 53 of the school law (chapter 4. Laws of 1901) relating to the com pensation of the treasurer is identical wltn section 13, chapter lirj, uws or 1S80. I am clearly of the opinion that under th law as it now etaads the treas urer of the school fund cannot receive more than two per cent on hia vouchtrs paid on orders of school committees, and that the commissions of one-half per cent on receipt appearing in the report of the county treasurer in question ar erroneous." eeasitBv when to hopes to have every tnlnig ready for the largest freshman class ever seen In North Carolina, - and for a more than overflowing college. ; S T Causes Night Alarm f i ... - " une mgnt my Brothers baby was taken with Croup," writes Mrs. J.

GOVERNOR'S TOUR ; WESTERN COUNTIES Leaves Next Week for Extended-Trip Went to Caswell Yesterday Maniacs" Acknowledge "Method in Their Madness Sasgroye and Pearce Tell Why They Raised Such Disturbance in Wake Jail Executive . Committee Meets Vhe executive committee of the Central Hospital for the Insane, consisting of lr. It .11. Stancel of Northampton, Mr. . O. Middle ton of Duplin and Mr. W. B. Fort of Mkeville. met in regular moarhly virion yesterday and in con nection w:h their routine work made an iaveslgatiwx into the conditions as to the number and character of inmates cf the instttution with a view especially to examining Into the grounds for certain charges made by ome newspaper cor rpnleats that urgent eaea of in ear.lry are erswded out while Inebriate It!eats are bein? taken at any and 1 tinwxi AM hw 4hrfa wn found to be entirely groundless, there being .n'r one inebriate oatient in the hs-ii . Ti-al and he is one who was discharged roT.p time e-go on probation and was d because he returned to drink a?l being out a probation the superin tcTdetit was obliged to take hrm back. There are now 1S. beds in the hos rtral and there are jot 185 patients, -rry one of them apparently proper jT:ents. j Iar.r.g The afternoon members of the orr.m;tte had occasion to met np with the two "rnving maniacs," Mike Cas grT and Ambrose Peare. who created s rau-h dUttrrbance in Wake jail Mon day and Tuday. It will be remembered that t!iv tore their clothes in shreds. jKmn-lod "the bars of their cells an 1 weTe veritable demons in general. The hos pttal was full and so their admission was finally secured by the county's taking back from the institution two inoffensive K tie Mb who were carried to the county ate. However, when members of khe committee met up with the two yester day ti't the State Hospital both were walking around perfectly quiet and with out any evidences of insanity. They were asked what in the world It all meant; how it was that they were only a few hours before ravine in cells of I the county jail and now they were e- fcavmg so sanely, i Both replied to the effect, that they had to do something to get out of the d d jau and they decided toe surest way to set in the State Hos pital was to raise hell and they pro ceeded to do it. Coegrove said be was determined to make a sure thing of it and he wiped p the floor of his cell with his clothes. He is the one who -rare Lis clothes and hair most fiercely m the Tail. It was found that the man Pearce was out at the State hospital only a little more than a week ago applying for a job ns nnrse. It seems that while the two men are Sufficiently insane to be - fit subjects ihlv for the asylum still they cer tainly have sense enougn and along with it meanness enough to concoct an agreement to coerce the county and state authorities into giving them the acommodations they wanted. What they might well have been given in the liht of their present confessions was etraizht jackets and dark cells with rags thrown in to protect fellow prjs oners from the annoyance of their un earthly howls in the jail. The. committee reports that there is no ground whatever for the complaints that have been made recently In certain quarters against the hospital." DR. WINSTON T& WAKE GO.
