FUSION AND CONFUSION,
The Textbook of Durham County "a
Mass of ErrOrs.

Wake is not the only county in which
the register of deeds has shown the in
competency either of himself or his as
sistants. At their meeting in Sep ember
the court commissioners authorized their
chairman Mr.. G. b. Green TO have the
tax books examined before turning
them over to the sheriff Ad inyestiga-
ton disclosed the fact that the books
were one mass of omissions and errors.
When Mr. Green's report was received,
the commissioners called the condition
of affairs to the attention of the Register
of Deeds an / decided that it was neces
sary for the whole of the work to be done
over again from the very start. New
books have been ordered and Messrs K.
@. Cox. D. @. Gunter and Paschal LunS-
ford have been put to work to get them
out as soon as possible. 1t is estimated
that it will take them about
thirty days to finish the job. The Reg
lister of Deeds seems to have fallen upon
hard lines recently, for he will not only
lose the fat pay for the new tax lists but
will have to pay for the new tax books.
His Office was, so we are told, respon-
sible for an error in some of the
receipt books to be used by the
sheriff in collecting taxes, which
made them worthless, and the
cost will fall on him. Then the stubs to
many of the receipt blanks in the second
lot of blank tax receipt books have been
filed from the tax books that were re-
iected, so they will also have to be
replaced. The Register, Mr.. W. ".
Woods, was considered very competent
to fill the position here. If he is he has
certainly neglected to lock after ii
as he should and will pay dearly for bis
neglect.
