The Fair Play correspondent of tho
HcoTec Courier says: "a negro, who
is working with DIR. Cornog, on the
place formerly owned by Mr. William
Knox, ploughed up quantity of gold
coin, amounting to something over for
ty dollars, last week. The mtaey is
said to have been hid by Mr.. Knox dur
ing the war to prevent capture by the
Yankees. He afterwards searched for
the money, but not having been care
full in identifying the place, never
found it. 1t is reasonable 20 suppose
that the money found by tho negro is n
part of that hid by Mr.. Knox"
AT the February term of Court Of
Common Pleas for this County case
was made up and submitted to Judge
Benet by the Board of County Com
miesiOners and Judge of Probate Nance
involving the constitutionality of the
salary bill passed by the last Legis-
lature. Judge Benet decided the Act
to be unconstitutional on tho ground
that it was special legislation, which
the State Constitution prohibits. AN
appeal was taken by the County to the
Supreme Court, which has rendered q
decision sustaining Judge Benet's de-
cision. This, no doubt, will restore all
oNr County officers to the fee system.
