State to require the legislators
to refer this matter to a vote of
the people and to let them say
whether our commonwealth shall
retain a law that makes it hard
to be honest and easy to be a
rascal.
The principal embodied in our
bankruptcy laws, like most good
things in our legal system, goes
back to the Mosaic statutes.
There might have been honest
errors in judgment on the part
of either debtor or creditor, or
both If it is apparent the debtor
cannot pay his debts, take what
he has, and give a discharge Of
the rest of his debt; do not hold
it over him and enslave him for
life.
But under our State constitu-
ton, as amended just after the
war, it is possible for an enter
prising young man to get a start
in life by securing credit and
then taking refuge behind the
homestead exemption. The home
stead exemption in real estate
may be laid off by kindly neigh
bors, who care nothing about the
interest of the wholesale dealers
who sold the goods, but have a
friendly and neighborly interest
in the bankrupt.
The wholesalers must do bust
ness. They must take the risk.
They must sell their goods high
enough to cover that risk.
In the case of a man who Sc
cures credit, and by the opera
ton of the homestead exemption
goes through bankruptcy $500,
$1,000 or $4,000 to the GOOD
where does that profit come
from? 1t comes out of the pock
cts of the wholesalers, the Other
merchants or the consumers.
Most of it comes out of the pock
cts OF the consumers, for the
merchants know how to figure
out the chances.
This movement for the amend
ment of the homestead law is ;
business mans movement, rest
ing upon the two-fold motive o
clear right, and economy to tn
general public. We hope none O
our contemporaries will oppos
it, until they have given tn
whole matter careful study, a
! least. The questions involve
will be discussed from time t
: time in these columns, and car
didates for the legislature will b
expected to devote some consid
4 GRAFTON to it.

cording to the last census, North
Carolina has more illiterate white
people than any other State in
the Union, a condition due, of
course, to its large population of
mountaineers. While the pro-
gress already made is notable,
the leaders still have a stupend-
uous task before them. At the
present time, although taxing
itself more per hundred dollars
worth of property than Massa-
chusetts, North Carolina pays
only $2.63 each year for the edu-
cation of each child, whereas
Massachusetts expends $24.89
nearly ten times as much.
Il do not wish to over-empha-
size the work in North Carolina;
l am merely using conditions
there as a convenient illustration
Of what is going on in greater or

PARTNERSHIP AND THE BANK
RUPTCY LAW.

RUPTCY LAW.
Letter from Frederick W.
Thomas, referee in bankruptcy,
to Slayden, Fakes & Co.:
Gentlemen:-I comply with
pleasure with your request, to
write you my views of the law
relating to the rights Of partners,
in case of bankruptcy, to take
their exemptions out of the part
nership property. The bank
ruptcy act provides, section 6,
that it shall mot affect the al
lowance to bankrupts Of the ex-
emptions which are prescribed
by the State laws in force at the
time of the filling of the petition
in the State wherein they have
had their domicile." In North
Carolina, by it's constitution, it is
provided (Art. X, Sec. y that
1.-The personal property of any
resident of this State, to the
value of $500, to be selected by
such resident, shall be and is
hereby exempted from sale
under execution, or other final
process of any court, issued for
the collection of any debt"
In 1870, soon after the civil
war, when the court was no
doubt greatly influenced by the
reduced financial condition of the
citizens of the State, ourSupreme
Court decided, in Burns VS.. Har-
ris, CT N. C. Contrary, as think,
to correct principle) that each
member of partnership, if the
other members of the firm con-
sented, might take $500 worth of
the firm assets as exemptions.
This is generally regarded by the
profession as the law now in
this State, although l think the
principle there announced has
been much shaken by recent
cases; for instance, in Stout VS.
Mcneil, SO N. c., 4, Chief Jus.
tice Smith says 'The common
effects are properly applicable tx
the common liabilities, (by "com
mon" he refers to partnership
effects) and their diversion tt
the personal advantage of one
of the members (of the firm
when the creditors are unpaid
though legally capable of being
done, is little short of and may
as involving an attempt to de

amount to a remedial wrong.
