ENTITLED'' TO PAY
'"'Attorney General's Opinion
as to the Two Wilsons.
AUDITOR SO INFORMED
Attorney General Walser Gave Ht Opin
ion at the Request of Auditor
Ayer It is l ull and
Complete.
Attorney General Walser renders
an opinion today deciding that Maj.
J. W. Wilson and S. Otho Wilson,
railway commissioners, whom Gov
ernor Russell attempted to suspend
from office are entitled to pay while
they are actually in discharge of the
duties of the office.
The opinion was given by the at
torney general at the request of Au
ditor Ayer.
This afternoon Maj. Wilson made
formal demand on the auditor for a
warrant on the state treasurer for
,his monthly pay.
The attorney general gives his
opinion at the request of a state of
ficer. Such an opinion is in nearly
all instances accepted, but it is pure
ly optional with such state officer
whether he is governed by it.
Attorney General Walser's opin
ion is full and complete and shows
clearly beyond doubt that the Messrs
Wilson are entitled to draw pay,
while de facto commissioners. We
quote from the Attorney General's
opinion submitted to the Auditor:
"By reference to the railroad com
mission act, chapter 320, section 1,
laws of 1891, you will find the fol
lowing language: "In any case of
suspension the governor shall fill
the vacancy, and if the General As
embly shall determine that the com
missioner suspended shall be re
moved, then the appointee of the
governor shall hold until his suc
cessor is elected and qualified as
hereinbefore provided, but if the
General Assembly shall determine
that the' suspended commissioner
shall not be removed from his office,
then the effect shall be to reinstate
him in said office. The person dis
charging the duties of said office
shall be entitled to the salary for the
time he is so-engaged, but a commis
sioner who is suspended shall be al
lowed the salary during his suspen
sion in case he should be reinstated
by the next General Assembly."
The act contemplates the appointees
by the governor, taking possession
of the office and entering upon the
discharge of the duties thereof. If
they could have taken possession of
the offices, and had done so, and the
next legislature should reinstate the
suspended commissioners, then and
in such cases, both sets of commis
sioners under the aot would receive
compensation. Out statutes must
be construed in pari materia.
"Acts of 1885, ch. 406 sec. 2, re
quires, "That no appeal by defend -ant
from the judgement of the su
perior court in such action to the
. supreme court shall stay the execu
tion of the judgement, unless a jus
tified undertaking be executed on
the part of the appellant by one or
more sureties, in a sum to be fixed
by the court, conditioned that the
appellant will pay to the party en
' titled to the same, the salary, fees,
emoluments, and all moneys what
soever received by such appellant
by virtue or under color of his said
office: Provided, that in no event
shall said judgmedt be executed
pending said appeal, unless a justi.
fled undertaking be executed on the
part of the appellee by one or more
persons in a sum to be fixed by. the
court, conditioned that the appellee
will pay to the party entitled to the
same, the salary, fees, emoluments
and all moneys whatsoever received
by the appellee by virtue or under
color of bis said offlje during his oc
cupancy thereof: Provided, this act
shall not apply to any pendingsuit."
"It is clear from the statutes just
quoted that it is your legal duty to
issue a warrant for salary to the
commissioners who are actually
engaged in the discharge of the
ii functions of the office of railroad
commissioner. In so doing no barm
or loss can some to the state or to
either of the parties claiming to be
rightfully entitled to the office of
. railroad commissioner.
"This office has already granted
leave to the appointees of the Gover
nor, Messrs. L. 0. Caldwell and
John II. Pearson, to bring two sever
ai action's to test the question under
- consideration. Before the defend
ants Messrs. J. W. Wilson and S,
Otho Wilson are permitted toanswer
or demur, the Superior court may
require them to execute an under
taking to secure to the plaintiffs
damages for the lose of such fees
and emolument as may come into
the hands of defendants by virtue
of holding said offices.
In case the defendan ts for any
reason fail to answer or demur, and
judgment be given in favor of the
plaintiffs, a writ of mandamus would
issue to carry the judgment iotojsi
feet.
"If thedefenddntsanswerordemur,
and judgment should be taken
againt them, and an appeal taken by
them to the Supreme court, they
must execute an undertaking to pay
to the plaintiffs the emoluments re
ceived and to be received by such
appellants by virtue or under color
of their said office. If and in case
the defendants should appeal from a
judgment taken against them but for
some reason not given the bond as
required by law, then the appellees,
Messrs, Pearson and Caldwell would
be put in office, and be required to
execute an undertaking to pay to
the party entitled to the same, the
emoluments and all moneys what
soever received or to be received by
the appellees. And in no event
under the statutes above named
shall any one pending an appeal to
the Supreme Court be permitted to
discharge the duties of the office of
railroad commissionir and receive
the emoluments of the office
without first giving a good and
sufficient bond conditioned to pay
to the party entititled to the same,
whenever the right to the office shall
have been determined, all moneys
whatsoever received trto be receiv
ed by such person, by virtue or un
der color of his said office. And
this bond would relate back to
the time of suspension.
The State is saved harmless, no
matter who wins And when the
courts have ruled as to tne rights of
all parties concerned, the statutes
cited .above aad commented upon,
will give the emoluments of the of
fice to him who shall be legally en
titled thereto."
DECORATIONS THE THING
Mr. Mitteldorfer Here Fair Notes
Bicycle Checking Prlvil"ge.
Mr. L. Mitteldorfer, the decorator
from Richmond, Va , arrived in the
city this morning to perfect arrange
ments for decorating the principal
business houses of the city for fair
week. Mr. Mitteldorfer did some
splendid and artistio work in deco
rating here on the occasion of the
unveiling of the Confederate monu
ment. Decoration is the biggest
possible advertisement for the fair
and our citizens should awake to the
importance of it.
Mr. Will Primrose has secured
the fair ground privilege for check
ing bicycles at the grounds.
Special efforts are being made to
render the poultry department of
the fair of particular interest. A
large number of exhibits of hne
chickens are expected.
The entries for the running and
trotting races are being made rap-
idlv. and there is every indication
that this will be, as it nearly always
is, a most enjoyable feature of the
fair.
A large number of local wheelmen,
as well as many others from all parts
of the State, are expected to enter.
A HANDSOME PLACE.
The Elegant Store of Messrs. Rovall and
Borden.
A look Into the elegant and hand
some new furniture store of the pro
gressive firm of the Royall & Bor
den Furniture Company, shows one
that it is one of the most elaborate,
extensive and complete establish
ments in the State. Since this live
and progressive firm has occupied
its new quarters in the Central hotel
building onthecornerof Wilmington
and Hargett streets, they have more
desirable quarters and a handsomer
display of furniture than ever
before. On the first floor is a mag
nificent assortment, including all the
latest and most modern styles as
well as the most modest and
inexpensive. The Royall & Borden
Furniture Company in their new
house are prepared to furnish any
thing from the humblest cottage to
the most palatial home. On the sec
ond floor they have a number of
rooms en suite in which they show
their elegant suits of furnituro to
the finest advantage. Their patrons
will find them at their new herd
quarters, fully established and pre
pared to furnish them with better
values, more modern and attractive,
and at lower figures than ever before.
GRASS ON STREETS,
Street Committee S.iys Crop
Should be Harvested,
ALDERMEN TO MEET
Will Decide Whether we Are to llove a
Close or Wide Open Town Fair
Week-Other Mat
ters The hoard of alderman meet to
night. The matter of allowing
saloons to remain open all night fair
week will come up. A waymaster
is to be elected.
The following is the report of the
street committee:
TotiieHonorabi.e Mavhr and Board
of Aldermen:
Your committee on streets beg to
submit the following report:
We feel that this board has a just
cause of congratulation on account
of the very substantial endorsement
which it received at the polls on
September 7.
We are satisfied now that the peo
ple of Raleigh are in full sympathy
with the course heretofore pursued
by the street committee in urging
the importance of using so much of
the city's finances as was appropri
ated to the street department in mak
ing improvements of a permanent
nature.
There is no department of the city
government which is more closely
interwoven into the warp of human
existence and the every day life of
Its citizens than that of improving
and cleaning its streets. The health,
prosperity, convenience and comfort
of the people of the town dep'nd ma
terially upon the manner in which
the city affairs are administered
along th -se liues. No city is free
from the constant nunaoe of epi
demics and diseases of all sorts
whose streets are in an uue'eau and
filthy condition, and no city can be
kept clean without we!! drained and
properly paved streets.
The Painting of IMI. s.
In view of the fact that the state
fa'r is to be held in this city during
this month and desiring that our
city should present as handsome an
appearance as possible, we recom
mend that the telegraph, telephone,
electric light and other companies
having poles on the streets in the
city be required to paint these poles
a uniform color between now and
the 18th of this month. There are
a large number of poles on our
streets at the present time of all
sizes shapes, and colors, and we
believe that if these poles were all
painted a pretty shade of green it,
would add much to the appearance
of our streets.
The Capitol Square.
The capitol square situated in the
center of the city has always been a
source of pride to our people, and
one in which they have taken deep
interest. The walks in this square
have been in a bad condition for
many years, and they have been
seemingly neglected by our state
officials.
We are glad to see that his ex
cellency, Gov: Russell has taken this
matter in hand and is beginning to
beautify the grounds by improving
the walks in the square.
We believe that every patriotic
citizen in North Carolina will feel a
warm thrill of State pride at his
heart on account of this act and will
applaud the Governor in this course
and we hope that he will continue
the good work until this Square
which belongs to the State and
around which so many hallowed as
sociations cluster, is made a thing of
beauty and a joy to all of the people
in North Carolina.
We recommend that this Board
most cordially endorse the Gover
nor's action in this matter.
The Rock Quarry.
It is the desire of committee to
open the rock quarry as soon as pos
sible. We commenced investiga
tions along this line immediately
after the September election.
We found some obstacles in our
way and we are now endeavoring to
overcome them as rapidly as possi
ble.
In the first place we found that
the rock quarry did not belong to
the city, but was the property of
the State and while it is practically
of do value to the State, yet we feel
that it is necessary to proceed In a
legal manner in order to secure
possession of the property.
We have requested His Honor,
Mayor Russ, to secure a lease of the
property, anil he is no giving it
his usual prompt an 1 careful atten
tion. We have a'so beeu negotiating in
regard to the purchase of machinery,
but this matter has taken no definite
shape, and canuot proceed further
until the question of the possession
of the quarry is finally determined.
Grass on the Sidcuulks and Streets.
We notice that grass is growing
between tLe street car tracts in some
parts of the city which speaks badly
for our city. This should not be al
lowed, and as this part of the street
is kept up by the streetcar company
we recommend that they be notified
to remove the grass now growing be
tween their tracks in the city as
quickly as possible.
We also recommend that the chief
of police be requested to call special
ly to the attention of his men the
matter of grass growing on the side
walks. The property owners are supposed
to keep their sidewalks clean and
free from grass. We regret to say
that the sidewalks in some parts of
the city are badly covered with
grass. The policemen are furnished
with notices to warn the property
owners of the violation of the city
ordidinance in regard this matter,
and they should see that this ordi
nance is enforced and that the side
walks are properly kept open.
Street Force,
The f treet force has been doing
some very good work recently at
the intersection of South and Blount
streets.
A wonderful improvement in the
appearance of the streets in
that part of the town has been
made within the past thirty days. A
person going there now and recol
lecting the former condition of the
streets would hardly recognize them
at the present time. We are now
making arrangements to curb South
street from Blount to West street.
We have also made arrangements to
curb the sidewalks on the streets
around the capito! square. Work is
being pushed on our streets very
rapidly at the present time, and as
soon as wa dispose of the bonds we
shall increase the force and push
the worli more rapidly than ever.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted . Respectfully,
John C. Drkwhy.
GAINED THREE YEARS.
Tno Silver (ioblctsSavcd Moses W illiams.
Thief, Those Years.
Some time ago Moses Williams
stole an umbrella from Mr. L. A.
Myers and two silver goblets from
the residence of Mr. R. A. Jones.
Williams denied the theft of the gob
lets and he could not be induced to
give up the property.
His case came up in court today
and he was found guilty of the
charges. But what did the verdict
amount to, with the negro still in
possession of the goblets Judge
Robinson was equal to the occasion.
He sentenced Williams to six years
imprisonment, but with the condi
tion thet he would take off several
years of the sentence if he returned
the goblets.
The negro asked for an officer. His
request was granted and he told Of
ficer Woodall that he would find the
goblets in the cellar at the Taber
nacle church. Officer Woodall failed
to find the goblets, but upon inquiry
he learned that Sexton Medlin bad
them in his possession. They were
produced in court this evening.
Judge Robinson then sentenced
Williams to three years imprison
ment, reducing his time ha'f.
A Popular Hotel.
One of the livest towns in Eastern
North Carolina is Rocky Mount.
There is as much life and energy to
be seen there as in any town in the
State. A test of a good town is its
hotels and Rocky Mount has five of
them. The Hotel Woodard, of which
Mr. W. C. Woodard is proprietor,
is a most popular resort, especially
for traveling men, and is always
filled with the traveling public who
visit Rocky Mount on the sixteen
trains which pass to and fro each
day on the Southern and the Coast
Line. It is one of the neatest and
best constructed hotels for comfort
to be found any where, the table is
of the best and the genial host un
destands the art of making every
guest well pleased and happy while
there.
Miss Bertha Creighton gave a de
lightful rendition of Romeo and
Juliet at Metropolitan Hall last even
ing. Miss Creighton has decided
ability and she has every prospect
of a promising future. Her work
was far in exce3s of that of her support.

Jim Apologizes.
Jim Young takes back in this
week's Issue of the Gazette what he
said about W. A. Pottillo, who an
nounced that be would sue him for
libel. The Gazette says :
The editor of the Gazette desires
to say that be has not at any time
charged Rev. W. A. Patillo with
being an embezzler. It is not true
that Rev. Mr. Pattillo was defeated
for Supervisor of the colored de
partment of the deaf, dumb, and
blind institution because thischarge
was' made. The election of Rev.
Joseph Perry was made simply be
cause a majority of the board of
directars preferred him, and not be
cause there was any charges re
flecting upon the character of Mr.
Pattillo.

NOVEL SLANDER CASE
Mamie Summcrlln, of "e York, the
Wronged; Emma Hope, the Accuser.
Mamie Summerlin, a handsome
and stylishly dressed young girl, to
all Kpparances white, appeared in
Mayor Russ' court this morning as
prosecutor in a slander case. She
was accompanied by a burly black
woman, who was said to be her
mother.
The defendant is Emma Kope, who
is charged with maliciously slander
ing the Summerlin girl in letters
sent to New York. The letters,
which were sent to Ada Williams,
of New York City, were produced in
court this morning. The Williams
woman being a friend of the Sum
merlin's turned the letters over to
them and it is claimed that the let
ters grossly slander the character of
the girl.
Mr. B. S- Jerman, cashier of the
Farmers and Commercial Bank, was
called in as an expart witness to
give testimony as to hand writing
of the Kope woman. A lively cross
examination was conducted by At
torney Moses N. Amis for the de
fendant and Mr. B. C. Bec-kwith for
the prosecution. The defense intro-
duced.no witness. The "two Sum-
a.erlins denied the slanderous ac
cusations.
Mayor Russell bound the Kope
woman over to the present term of
oriminal sourt in a bond of $50,
which she gave.
A nice point is developed in this
case by Attorney Amis, which may
precipitate an interesting legal fight.
He quoted authority to show that
one State under our American juris
prudence has neither the power or
disposition to punish one of its citi
zens for a crime perpetrated on a
citizen of another State while resid
ing therein.
The Summerlin girl is a native of
this city, but has resided in New
York for the past four years.
