DENT OF SCHOOLS mas lone f11n an III
jury.
To the Editor: As Mr.. Mebane, Super
intendent of Public Instructions has seen
fit to publish part of "a note asking two
questions, which he declines to answer,
until he knows my motive for asking;
and seems to be in some haste to rush
into print to insinuate mot to affirm
that / have been guilty of fraudulent
transactions with school boards, which in
situation, / denOunce as untrue in toto.
l have this to say in regard to the sale
Of school charts in the State. / have sold
a chart formerly published by the Amer
lean Book Company, and at present by
the Franklin Publishing Company, N. Y,
in q number of counties of the State.
Never sold in any county without first Sc
curing the endorsement of the Educa-
tional officers of the county, who care
fully examined the chart as to its prob
able worth to the schools, and knew
perfect the price to be paid for it, sold
in compliance with section 2555 of the
School Law of the State, as construed by
the various county boards. With the en-
dorsement of such educators as EXPIRES
ident Jno. f. Crowel, Trinity. College,
President Chas. f. Taylor, Wake Forest,
Prof. j. d. Hodges, Augusta Business
College, J. r. Wharton, ex-Superinten-
dent Guilford College, Prof. ]. /. Toms,
Prof IL. z. Mangum, Prof. w. l.. Po-
teat, who is at present member of the
State Board of Examiners, +. S. Wilkin-
son, ex-Superintendent Edgecombe coun-
ty, Rev. Jno. S. Long, ex-Superinten-
dent Craven county, and scores of 9th
ers 1 might mention, having been
most successful in their sale among the
most intelligent people. Now l will leave
an intelligent public to decide whether
these men whose names l have given are
competent judges of this matter, or this
fellow Mebane.
Yours very respectfully,

THE BOUNDARY LINE.
The Voters in the Cut Off From Chat
ham decline to Change the Line.


To the Editor: The session of the Leg
islature of 1865 passed an act for estab-
fishing the county boundary line between
Alamance and Chatham county. A
strip of territory Of two and a half miles
in width and seventeen miles in length
was added to Alamance county. adding
to Alamance q population of some three
hundred voters or population of fifteen
hundred inha bitants. The last session of
the Legislature repealed this act. sub
stituting another line on condition that
one fourth of the voters of said territory
should vote to ratify this act, otherwise
the survey under the act of 1865 should
stand The election was held to-day and
the vote was Rejection" or ''Ratifica-
tom The result was is follows:
rejection ........... 20
I0dulHcdtIol 49,. 80.
SO the people show that it is nearly a
unanimous wish that they be allowed to
remain in Alamance county.
Thus has ended a long and costly con-
test between the two counties, and we
trust that there will be no more efforts
made to again stir up this matter.
Respectfully,
S. A. WHITE.

THE OLD DIRECTORS WILL CON
TTNUE TO HOLD.

We publish elsewhere a communica-
tien written by r. o. Burton, ESD, WITH
reference to the power of the Governor
to make appointments respectively OF
three directors Of the three insane asy-
lums. Under the law these directors are
appointed by the Governor and confirm
ed by the Senate, and as the Senate can
not now confirm appointments MI bur
ton makes it clear that the Governor mas
no power to make the appointments. Inc
old directors will therefore hold over
until their successors are regularly APP
pointed and confirmed.
or course no man, who is fit to serve
ne q director, cares to hold his position
for any personal reason. 1t is a respon-
sible and onerous position, carrying moth
ing but an opportunity to be useful. For
this very reason, we may expect the d.
rectors whose terms would have expired,
il their successors had been legally ap-
pointed, to continue in the exercise or
to resort to the courts to maintain their
right to exercise the functions Of their
positions, it is their duty to the unfortun-
ate insane not to surrender the trust
committed to them. There is no reason
TO doubt the court would uphold them
It is to be regretted that the court did not
pass upon this question in the decision
rendered, but as the law is so plain 1T is
not probable that any question OF their
right will arise. The continued efficient
management of the institutions touches
vitality so many people in the State that
the directors will be sustained in doing
everything that is lawful to prevent any
changes. The present status ought to be
maintained in the interest both Of the
insane and the taxpayers. In the peni-
tertiary, agricultural department. and
the railroad commission new Offices have
been created. The Republicans would
make more places for their henchmen
in the asylums if they control them.
In addition to the argument OF Mr..
Burton, there is other authority that is
pertinent to show that the Governor has
no power to appoint new directors. The
Legislatures of Washington, Wyoming
and Montana three years ago held long
sessions of the Legislature but were I'M
able to elect United States Senators be-
cause they could not agree. After the
adjournment of the Legislatures the Gov
ernors of these State appointed Sena-
tors. After an able debate IN the Sen
ate, it was decided by that body that a
Governor could not appoint to an ORR
ginal vacancy, and all the appointees were
denied admission to the Senate. If a
Governor cannot appoint a Senator to an
original vacancy, when his act does not
need ito be confirmed, and when there is
no provision of law to fill the vacancy,
is it not clear that Governor cannot APP
point directors, whose appointment is not
valid without confirmation, particularly
since. under the existing laws, the old
directors must serve until their success
sors qualify?

YAvAPAI COUNTY.

The suit brought in Denver by an English company against Wm- Bash ford and D. E. Heating charging the salting of the Jersey Lily mine in this county is a surprise, as the reputation of the mine for richness was estab- lished before the English company ever tok hold of it. It is said that the com pany sent out one expert to oyerestlm- ate the property and another to un- der estimate it, the latter for the pur- pose of entering this suit, in Denver, away from the nelghbOrhood Of the mine, hoping, in case of judgment, to seize the shares in London that were paid to the owners of the mine in place of cash for the property. However this may be, there are two sides to the case and the Courier be lieves the Arizona side will come out on top, so, far at any rate, as the ''salting'' charge goeS.-COurier.
 Mrs. Eugene Mcdonald, who is a recent arrival here from Denver, Col orado, and who resides with her hus- band in West Prescott, can boast of an experience which a greatmany men in in Arizona cannot. That is in having east a vote for President of the United States. There are plenty of Arizona male voters who have never exercised this privilege. The best part of Mrs is that she possessed the good judg- ment, in the exercise of the elective franchise, to cast her vote for the win ming candidate, Major Wm- Mckinley
