SCHOOL BOARD CASE.
School Commissioner Not a Civil ofac,

School Commissioner Not Civil Officer
Among the opinions handed down in
the Court Of Appeals on Saturday was
that of the Worcester County School
Board case as follows:
BY Chief Judge McSherry-Board OF
County School Commissioners of Wor-
cester county VS.. Goldsborough, Comp
troller. The subject of this appeal is
whether or not the Governor has the
power, under Section IS, Article II, Of
the State Constitution. to remove a
county school commissioner from Office
for incompetency or misconduct. The
matter arose from Governor Lowndes'
removal of Laban F. Quillan, one of the
school commissioners of Worcester coun-
ty, and was brought before the court
upon an appeal from the lower court on
an order dismissing mandamus against
the Comptroller directing that he issue a
warrant for salary claimed to be due his
successor. The court holds that a
school commissioner is not civil officer
within the meaning of that section. 1t
holds that a mandamus directed against
the Comptroller connot be issued.

Golfers Lose Their Wraps.

Several young gentlemen and young
ladies from the Naval Academy, who
went over TO the golhng grounds yester-
day TO play game of golf. met with tho
misfortune to have their wraps, gloves,
coats, &C.. stolen. In preparing for the
game they put these articles in pile, as
they thought. for safe keeping, but when
they were ready to 60 home the articles
were no where to be found. some one
had walked of with them. No doubt
the church going portion of the commu-
nifty will say that the moral this points
and the tale which it adorns is: "You
must not play golf on Sunday"

proval to the opinion of Judge Stone.

Wyatt was clean shaven, except his
mustache. Instead of proceeding to trial,
his counsel withdrew his former plea of
''guilty OF murder in the second degree"
and, that leaving the plea of "guilty of
murder which was confession OF muir
der in the first degree. that was also
Withdrawn and general plea of "not
guilty" of the murder of Capt. Caulk,
the case at bar. was entered by the ac-
cused.

oner making the usual oath that he could
not have a fair and impartial trial in
Anne Arundel, the case was removed to

ecution. He is friend Of the family OF

BOND MONEY RECEIVED
HOW THE STATE TREASURER
ARRANGED IT.
Ne MADE A TEMPORARY EXCHANGE
Did IL TO Accommodate Purchasers Of The Bonds
and 10 Make II Possible for Cred
iors 10 Get Their
Money.

The State Treasurer received check
Yesterday from +. II. Fries. President
of the Wachovia Loan and Trust Com
paIly, Winston, for $4,000 State
bonds rhe Treasurer will begin paying
the old debts of the State prison ON Mon
day, the 18th inst.
In order to enable him to do this the
State Treasurer yesterday morning de
Ivered to the Wachovia Loan and Trust
Company, of Winston, 40 four per cent
North Carolina bonds, in denominations
OF ST 900 each.
These bonds are in lieu of the S110.
600 of pcnitentiary bonds recently issued
and sold to the WaGhovia Loan and
Trust Company. The penitentiary bonds
had been sold with the understanding
that they should be delivered at once,
but on account of inability of the en-
g1aver to do the work at once the de-
livery of the bonds was postponed until
Thursday, June Sth. The trust conn
pany had been promised positively that
it should have them on that day, and re-
lying on that promise had sold a great
part of them at premium. The pur-
chasers wanted them Immediately. But
instead Of the bonds, Treasurer Worth
Thursday received the following tele
gram:
Regret necessity for re-engraving
bonds, causing serious delay. Particu-
lars by mail. 1t will probably be two
weeks before the bonds can be sent
This meant that the holders of the
$4,000 of claims against the penten-
tiary, contracted under Fusion rule,
must wait two weeks longer for their
money unless some other arrangement
could be made.
Confronted by this condition of affairs
to prevent further delay and inconven-
fence to the purchasers of the new
bonds, Treasurer Worth yesterday morn
ing counted out to the president of
the Wachovia Loan and Trust Com
pany ITO four per cent consolidated
bonds for $1,000 each.
These bonds have always been owned
ny the State, or rather $136, $50 of them
have (now worth S147 600 The peni-
tertiary bonds, when they arrive. w4d
be put in their place. The rate of inter-
est is the same, the only difference being
that the consolidated bonds have one
year longer to run han the penitentiary
bonds. The latter expire i'm 1909 and
the former in 1910. Also the interest on
the consolidated bonds is amply provided
for out of taxes levied for the purpose.
Though no provision is made i'm the
pendtentiary bonds for payment of the
interest, still the faith of the State is
pledged and the interest will he paid as
promptly as if it were specially pro-
vided for.
Those who have received the consilidat-
ed bonds may, when the penitentiary
bonds arrive. exchange them if they so
desire.
