Albright, of Orange county, was here -this morning and. It was learned that he had secured .the ap nointment as v Deputy ; Collector for Orane county to succeed Mr! J. Prank Pickard, who has acceptably filled the position for five years. Mr. Albright was one of about nine applicants for the position and the race for the Orange county coilectorshlp was more hotly contested than in any otner county. " lr ";'-:;'.:. 's'-.-. The two factions of. Orange county Republicans brought all possible influ ence to bear upon Collector Duncan in favor of 'their applicants. James A. Cheek and Tom Lloyd led the factions and the fight assumed almost apersonal nature. Collector Duncan would , not sanction such a fight and brought the contest to a close by appointing Mr. Albrigaht, yho was the dark horse 4n the race and who is supposed to be acceptable to both sides. Mr. Duncan said that Mr. Pickard had made an excellent officer and per sonally he has the highest regard for him.'' TWO BOWERY MAIDENS. Engage in a Little Fight and Zulu , y Pays the Penalty .

THE POINT IN QUESTION Major Gmhrle Contends That the Prll- . r . . . 1 man Company Is not Under the Juris-'':- dieiton of the K. R. Commission ' . for Tax Assessment The Railroad Commission met again this morning and took up the matter of tax assessment of the Pullman Palace Car Company In North Caro lina ..::....'.. Major A. Guthrie, of Durham, represented the Pullman Company and contended that the Railroad Commis sion hasr no power to assess their valua tion,, that they are not a railroad com pany, telegraph or telephone company, that they do not run trains, have sta tions, own lines or operate as a rail road 'company and that the law does not empower the Commission to assess further than in the three branches men tioned. Colonel Hinsdale answered Major Guthrie claiming that the Pullman Car Company was a railroad company, did run runs, have conductors ana porters, sell tickets, collect fares, etc. The point upon which the entire, matter rests is whether the Pullman Company is or is not a railroad company. . Major Guthrie further contended that only such cars as were in North Carolina on June 1st could be taxed and that only In the county in which that car was On the day mentioned. He. stated that the car operating from Wilmington to Wilson was., the only car In this State that could be assessed, as the others come under the Inter-State Commis sion.

Shortly be fore the war he was the head of the Ashley Institute, Little Rock, Ark. Or dained deacon there, he was advanced to the priesthood by Bishop Johns, of Virginia, in 1859.

This is a law passed by Congress at its recent session, and Its operations throughout the Country have aroused the interest of the people everywhere. The ect provides that no petition for involuntarv bankruptcy chall be filed within four months of its passage, or sooner than November 1st. Under the new law "any person who owes debts except a corporation," shall te entitled to the benefits of this act as bankrupt. 'Any natural person, except a wage- earner or a person engaged chiefly In the tillage of the soil, any incorporated company and any corporation engaged principally in manufacturing, trading, printing, publishing, or mercantile pur suits, owing debts to the amount of one thousand dollars or over, may be judged an involuntary bankrupt upon default or on impartial trial. 'Private bankers, but no national banks or banks incorporated under State and Territorial laws, may be adjudged involuntary bankrupt." The courts of bankrupt include the district of the United States and of the Territories, the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and the United States Court of the Indian Territory and of Alaska . A discharge from a court of bank ruptcy will release a bankrupt from all of his provable debts except taxes, money or property obtained fraudu lently, debt due for willful and mali cious injuries to the person or prop erty of another, debts which have not been properly scheduled, or debts created bv embezzlement, defal cation or fraud while acting as an officer or in any Judiciary, capacity. The bill provide that acts of bank ruptcy shall consist in having con veyed, transferred, concealed, or , re moved," any part, of his property with intent to hinder, delay, or defraud hig creditors, or any of them; or trans ferred, while insolvent, any portion of his property to one or more of his creditors over his other creditors; or suffered, or permitted while insolvent, any creditor to obtain a preference through legal proceedings, and not having at least five days before a sale or final disposition of any porperty affected by such preference or made a general assignment for the benefit of his creditors; or admitted ln writing his inability to pay his debts and his will ingness to be adjudged a bankrupt on that gorund. The law wll not affect proceedings commenced under State insolvency laws before the passage of the act. MOVING TO ELON COLLEGE. The Christian Sun Changes Its Head quarters This Week. The Christian Sun, which for years has been published in this city is now changing its office from Raleigh to Elon College. The work of moving the press, office furniture and typographical outfit be gan yesterday, and Editor Moffitt will this week move his residence to Elon College to continue in charge of the editorial branch of the Sun. Though Editor Moffitt has not given out the Information It Is learned elsewhere that he will next year, in addition to his editoral duties, become a member of the Elon College Faculty, but . just what branch he will have charge of Is not known. The Sun Is the official organ of the Christian denomination in this State, and Elon College is that denomina tion's recognized school. It has long Iseen desired bv certain leaders in the Christian church to have this change made that the church paper may be come a part of the life of the students at their denominational college. The policy of the Christian Sun will remain as ln the past. It will con tinue to be a Journal purely for the members and friends of the Christian church, and will not take part In the questions now absorbing the other re ligious-weeklies in the State. Editor Moffitt has invariably avoided the sub ject of State aid for higher educational Institutions, believeing that it was in no way affecting Elon College. : Raleigh will regret to lose Mr. and Mrs. Moffitt, both of whom have many friends in this city, and the good wishes of all will follow them to their new home. : . . .'.
