In doing so he offered the Chairmanship

To His EXCELLENCY. DANIEL G. FowLE,
GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA.

the reception of your letter rendering me
a position on the Board of Public Chari-
ties of the State of North Carolina and
designating me as Chairman OF said
Board.
| hereby accept the position offered and
at the same time return you my thanks

Yours very respectfully,
(Signed Z. BURKE HAYWOOD.
The Governor Immediately filled the va
cancy by appointing Capt. Octavius Coke
Of Raleigh. This made one change III the
direction of getting a new trial of DR.. Girls
som.
Last year Dr. Haywood was elected ply
slcliin at the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Insti-
tuition. Governor Fowle. 50 it is under
stood, took the ground that Dr. Haywood
could not consistently with the law hold
that position aud 1t the saIlc time be Di
rector Of the Asylum, bat could he mem
Der OF the Board Of Charities, because
there is a proviso ii. the section already
cited which says that the provisions Of the
section shall not extend TO officers in the
militia, Justices of peace or commissioners
of public charities lie based his coGclu-
sion upon the following:
Section Of Article IA of the State Con
stitution provides that NO person who
shall hold any office or place Of trust or
profit under the United States, or any de
partment thereof, or under this State, or
under any other State or government,
snail mold or exercise any other Office or
place Of trust or profit under the authorl-
" Of this State. &c"
DIR. Capchart'> Resignation.
DR. W T. Capehart, of Berthe. who is d
Trustee of the College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts, and a member of the
= Oard Of Agriculture, rendered his resig-
nation as soon as the recent investigation
was concluded Under the section Of the
Constitution already quoted i, appears
that DR.. Capehart was hot ell Sible, but he
resigned, az we hear, not for hat reason
but because his private duties occupied his
time too fully 70 permit his fulfilling other
public duties. As his successor the Gov
ernor appointed Mr.. John Dawson Biygs,
a We'll known Democrat and public spirited
citizen Of Martin county.
Dr. ifaigh'> Resignation.
The next resignation of the Asylum Di-
rectors was that of Dr. J. y. iaigh, of
Fayetteville Dr. Halgh Was the Director
who was hot present At the recent investi-
CATION at the Asylum. We have heard
that he rendered his resignation at the
beginning Of the investigation but this is
an error.
DR.. Jack.on's Resignation.
The Governor wrote to DR.. Isaac Jack
son, of Whiteville, a member Of the In
sane Asylum Board, and rendered him
le Nhnp
ties, and suggested that he could not con
With the law be Director of the
Asylum and Superintendent of Health of
Columbus county.
The following is . copy of the letter
Written by DR.. Isaac Jackson, to the Gov
eINOr:
WHrETHLE, August ~, 1889.
To HIS EXCELLENCY, Hon. DANLG. FOwLE:
