The following correspondence will be in

Sin: Will you please excuse me for
troubling yon with a few questions in re
gard to an act passed by the General As-
sembiy oi JNorth Carolina, ana ratinea
March 7, A. D., 1879, being chapter 142,
entitled an act to abolish Private Seals, and
to prescribe a short form of a Deed, and for
other purposes. Fees oi Clerk 10 cents,
Register, 20 cents. Will you please inform
me how you construe that law in regard to
the fees of Register of Deeds r Whether it
means,the Register of Deeds shall register
any Deed regardless of the length, tor 20
cents, or does it mean only ot Deeds pre
scribed in said act?
1 make this inquiry because there are
different opinions in regard to the Register
of Deed s tees, (see section 5 of said act.)
Will you please let me hear from you at
your earliest convenience, and oblige,
W. T. Buxton,
Register of Deeds, Northampton Co.
VVILMIXGTOX,
N. C, June 16, 1879.
Jr. iv. L. JSuxton: lour communica
tion of June 7, was received in due course
of mail, and while lam not the officer whom
the law requires to advise you in your ofli
i ll duties, yet I regret that I have been
unable to reply to inquiries until to-day.
in chapter 142, Jaws ot 1879, the word
"det ds" in the second line of section 5 must,
in my opinion, be construed to refer to the
deeds, a form of which is given in section 3.
The title and the preamble of the Act
both show that the intent of the Legisla
ture was not to change the general law
with respect to the fees of Registers o
D.eds; and section 5 was meant as i
special provision lor the short torm pre
scribed in the act.
It is possible that the framer of the Act
supposed that this form would be sufficient
lor all deeds, and therefore used genera
words in section 5. That that supposition was
nicoiTict is evident. Doub less none o
the General Assembly who voted for the
Act imagined that it meant that the
Register should receive only twenty cents
for a railroad mortgage (tor instance) ot
hundred pages. 1 he same reasoning
would of course apply as to the fees ol the
.1 udges ol 1 rebate.
Respectfully,
I. R. Moore, Solicitor
Interesting to Tax Payers.
The following information furnished by
Treasurer Worth in answer to queries pro
pounded by the Wilmington Tax Assessor,
will be of interest to all tax payers:
Raleigh, N. C, June 17, 1879
Tax payers must list their solvent credits
in or out of the State, estimating their value
at wnat they would bring at a voluntary
sale.
Property under mortgage must be listed
by the mortgagor, but the note given by
him to mortgagee, tor the niouey advanced
must be listed by the latter as a solvent
credit. This is not a double tax on the
same property, because the solvent credi
in this case is only a change of the nature
ot the property of the mortgage from money
on hand or on deposit, or a solvent credit o
another class.
It has been decided that while United
States Treasury notes may be exempt from
taxation as money on hand, National Bank
notes are not exempt. If, however, United
States 1 reasury notes are deposited in bank
and a certificate of deposit is obtained there
tor, the certihcate is a solvent credit, and
as such, is taxable.
I find no where in the laws that Ministers
of the Gospel are exempt from poll or in
come tax. In fact, the Constitution does
not admit of their exemption from poll tax
as Ministers.

Br Ashe, J. Saunders vs. Gatling, from
Hertford. A controversy as to the right to
a public office must be brought by an ac
tion in the nature of a writ of quo warranto
by the Attorney General in the name of the
people of the State, joining the claimant as
a party plaintiff when he seeks redress. A
civil action brought for the possession of a
public office by a claimant in his own name
will be dismissed, lhatpart of the head
note to Brown vs. Turner 70 N. C. 93.
which states that one claiming an office can
bring an action therefor in his own name is
incorrect and not warranted by the opinion,
which only holds that a mandamus can be

name without joining the Attorney General.
By Diliard J. Askew vs. By mini, from
Hertford. Sec. 3, chap. 118, Revised Code,
although not brought forward in Battle's
Revisal is still in force. The Judge of Pro
bate has still jurisdiction to decree, and the
Sheriffs to whom the writs are directed have
the power to assign dower in one special
proceeding though the lands may be situate
in different counties. A widow is entitled
to one third in value of all lands of which
the husband was seized at any time during
coverture although the marriage was prior
to the act of March 2, 1867, restoring the
common law right of dower. The petition
for dower must be in one county for all the
lands, though they may lie in different
counties. If the widow does not get her
full dower in the Probate Court of the
county where she first files her petition, she
is debarred from going into the Probate
Court of any other county for further allot
ment. A Fool Woman.
From the Hannibal (Mo ) Courier.
Everybody around the Union Depot no
ticed a young man walking mournfully
around, carrying a bright and pretty little
baby. After watching the evidently de
spairing man for some time, the reporter
opened a conversation, during which the
man told us the following story. We give
it as he told it as near as possible :
"My name is James Myers. About
twenty-one months ago I was married to
Miss Jennie McCullen. She was a beauti
ful girl and I thought a great deal of her
and that she loved me ; but now I find my
mistake. After our marriage I leased a
farm near Summerville,Pike county, Illinois,
and moved on to it and everything looked
bright before me. I worked hard last sea
son and did well.
We lived happily together, and I can
prove that I always provided most bounti
fully for my wife. Her father and mother
lived only about three miles lrom the place,
and used to frequently come and see us. I
always used them well, and was very fond
of my wife, and did my whole duty to her.
Little less than a year after our marriage
this little baby was born, and we were both
seemingly glad to receive it I know I was.
I was everything that a good husband
could be, and I was happy.
Now, although my wife has left me, we
had never up to the day she departed had a
hard word or feeling between us. The
separation occurred in this way, and I was
greatly surprised when it came up : About
three weeks ago after I had done all my
morning chores about the house, I ate my
breakfast, kissed my wife and child aud
went out plowing. After I had commenced
she called out and said :
"Jim, I have made up my mind to leave
you now, and want you to come into the
house and divide the things."
I then asked her the reason why she was
going to leave, and she answered that she
had just married me for spite, and "now
Pm done with you." I told her if she was in
earnest and wanted to leave me, she could
take just what she wanted., She says you
can keep that young one ; I don't want
that ; and then she went to work and
picked up what she wanted about the place.
I wras very glad she did not want the
baby, because I did, and would have hated
to have given it up. After she had given
me that, I was willing she should take
everything. She picked out what she
wanted, and then left, on foot, for her fa
ther's and I have not seen her since. She
is a woman that I thought a good deal of,
and done my best to use right. Don't
think there's another man in the case, as I
have not had many male visitors at my
house. I don't know what she meant when
6he said she married me for spite. She has
frequently, since leaving me, made the same
remark to my friends, and that she never
liked me anyhow. I've got a sister in Jbon
tana, Kansas, who will take care of my
child, and I am going there to live; have
given up all hopes of- ever seeing my wife
again, and don't care' now ; as long as lean
keep my child she can go."
Then the train was made up, and the
gentleman stepped on board with the child
and baggage. He was a young man about
"Zi years old, witn a good, honest coun
tenance, and from his appearance was a
hard working son of the soil. We expect
that the unfaithful wife will some time re
gret her step. A bad woman does not de
serve such a good husband.

ing a leisure hour,. youricorrespondeiit took
ar stroll ; out .' to . the Rudisill Mine.' This
Mine in the past has been worked with
much profit.- A party of gentlemen have
lately, purchased a half interest, and 3lr ,W.
L Smart, Jbas been . placed ;in charge; : ; M r
Smart jia probably r as 'practical a miner as
North Carolina bas ever . bad. His expe
rience; in. Colorado and. Nevada has been ex
tensive and lrom parties with whom. he. has
been associated, (and : with some ot w hom
your correspondent. has a personal acquaint
ance,) I am satisfied that Mr Smart is master
of the situation, and. will prove that mining
m North Carolina can be, and will be, made
very profitable. Mr Smart says that our
North Carolina miners are laboring under a
great error in supposing that only North
Carolina minesare pockety, . lie says that
all mines are more or less pockety, and '.hat
this is so in true veins. The great Corn
stock of Nevada is well known for its chim
neys and pockets. As an instance of this,
the Sierra Nevada Mining Company sunk a
shaft 2,000 feet through barren ground in
order to strike the dip of the pocket of the
Comstock or Bonanza mine of Nevada.
Now, why should the people of North
Carolina, in consideration of the above facts,
persist that their veins are pockety, when
the true developments which have been
made from the depth of a hundred to over
seven hundred feet, prove beyond a ques
tion of doubt that North Carolina veins are
certainly continuous to the greatest depth
to which they have been worked. All de
velopments as far as researches have been
made, show as good Miiface developments
and as true veins as any the world has ever
shown. In many respects surface develop
ments show better. Cabarrus showed the
first nugget, which weighed about twenty
eight pounds. Other large nuggets weigh
ing pounds have been found.
Mr Smart in a printed report made to
some Boston gentlemen in regard to the
geology of North Carolina mines, says:
"I find the geo'ogy of this State is espe
cially adapted to the production of Metals,
and I am of the opinion that it belongs to
that portion of the Devonian age where the
Cupreous verges into the Auriferous and
Argentiferous rocks; the mines therefore
U --- - -
produce mostly gold and silver. The for
mation (which is stratified) in this locality
kIiows Ilydromicashists, Argillaceous shales,
filled with quartz veins running parallel in
sets which have well defined state walls.
These veins are often intersected by cross
veins. Developments are insufficient for a
more detailed report as to the geological
formation. " This sec ion is the oldest known
gold field on this Continent, (except the
Mexican mines,) and very little practical
development has previously takeu place,
but now with the recent improvements in
mining machinery and treatment of ores,
this old gold field will (I predict) now be
worked with marked success and will pro
bably pay better than the remote mining
fields where labor, materials and expenses
are much greater."
In regard to the Rudisill mine the old
machinery is being overhauled and new
added. Mr Smart is now working over the
refuse that was left by the former owners.
I saw a block of gold in amalgam that
weighed forty penny weights, aside from the
amalgam, and this in one day by three
laborers from refuse which had been thrown
away. This simply shows what proper
machinery will do. In regard to the ma
chinery used, it was not new, but Mr Smart
had simply remodeled the old so that it
works far better. The cost of the machinery
is not as much as having everything about
properly arranged for saving the gold. The
veins of the Rudisill mine are good and have
been opened 200 feet. There are three
levels one of 130, one of 170, and the third
200 feet deep. The prospect for the future
of this mine looks very bright.
