REVOLUTIONARY RECORDS.
MIR. T. Palmer Jerman Discovers, in
the State auditors Office, Documents
of Great Historical Value.

a find of great value to the stu
dent of history and heredity has been
made in the office of the Auditor of
State.
The official records of the North
Carolina Line in the Continental Army
have been discovered When Sherman
came to Raleigh with his blazing torch
he destroyed in pure wantonness many
OF the rarest and most valuable re-
cords of the State. 1t was thought
that these records of the Revolution
had met the same fate that befeli so
many other valuable State documents.
In searching through the records of
the office a few days ago Mr.. L. Palmer
Jerman, chief clerk, came upon the of
fetal pay-list OF the North Carolina
Line.
The only official records of the North
Carolina soldiers of the Revolution
heretofore accessible were those of
the pension office in Washington, and
as few of the survivors applied for
pensions, the list amounted TO little.
In his address at the late meeting
Of the Sons of the American Reyolu-
ton, at Richmond, the Secretary Gen
eral, Mr.. Franklin Murray, spoke of the
incompleteness of the Revolutionary
records, and especially those of North
Carolina; to become member of the
Sons of the American Revolution, the
applicant must produce an otlic' re-
cord of the service of his ancestor in
the Revolutionary War. This omis-
sion in the records has prevented
many persons of undoubted Reyolu-
tionary ancestry from proving their
descent from Continental Soldier.
The records include the complete
accounts of the pay-masters of the
North Carolina Line in the Revolu
tionary Army.
Mr.. Jerman, in the Auditors Office,
will make any researches that may be
desired in these records, and will issue
certificates of extracts from these Of
fetal documents.

CHAMPION CRIMINAL COLLINS.
Both North Carolina and Virginia Have
Numerous Claims on this Felon.

Governor Carr sometime ago made
requisition on the Governor of Vir-
ginia for Charles Collins, convict
who escaped from the North Carolina
penitentiary.
Governor 0'Ferrall in his reply to
the requisition writes: THE fugitive
Charles Collins, concerning whom you
wired me yesterday, is now in Vir-
ginia penitentiary. He was registered
on the books of the institution as Dan
Jones, and hence | was at first unable
to ascertain his identity"
A few days ago he was sem
fenced to the Virginia penitentiary
for term of five years for unlawful
assault committed in Floyd county,
Virginia. The prison record is this:
'He IS waited in Carroll county, Va,
for demonstrating; in Patrick county,
Va, for house breaking and grand lar
ceny; wanted in North Carolina to
serve unexpired term in penitentiary
from which institution he escaped;
also wanted in North Carolina for
horse-stealing Prisoner acknowledges
his name to be Charles Collins, doesn't
deny fact of being escaped convict"
Governor O'Ferrall writes: IF /
could consistently do 50 L would in
deed be most happy to turn this felon
over to the authorities of North Caro-
lima, but as you can well understand,
it will be long time before the au-
thorities of Virginia get through with
him.
