OFFICERS AND BoNDIELEcTED OFFICERS
TWO HAVE FILED WHO WE'RE
 JUST ELECTED.
opinien of Acting Attorney General Martin Powtpones Filing of Assess0rs' and Collectors
 Bonds.

Taking advantage of the fifteen aays allotted thefn in which to quail ny, the county ofIicers elected on No- vember 3 are somewhat slow in filing bonds with the Probate Judge So Far, but three have qualified. W. H. Tice. coroner, W. D. billiard and D. M. Huffman, justices of the peace. being the early ones.
 November 21 is the limit to the time given in which the ofIlcers can quail fly. after the expiration of which time the office will be declared vacant by process of law in case no bond Is filed and the oflce will be filed by guhernatorial appointment
 There Is one exception to thls reg ulation, however. according to a de- cision rendered by setting Attorney General Martin Thursday morning. The decision. relates to the bonds of county tax collector and tax assessor. and announces that these are net re- quired before July 1, 1909.
 The decision came in answer to numerous inquiries from over the State as to the time of filing the bond, Conflicting sections of the code of 1907 brought indecision on every hand. Sections I4s3-s5 declare that the oflicers are required to file their bonds with the Probate Judge fifteen days after election, and with the state Auditor forty days after elec- ton.
 Sections soa5 and elso. however. fix officers elected November 3, as July 1, 1909. In the instance of the officers, they are required to 1le their bonds on or before July l. 1909,
 This section Mir. Martin upheld in his decision.
