"Myrele Ferns" and others equally as great; hen the specialties between acts and the Ladies' Symphony Orchestra.

ANTI-CIGARETTE BILL Will Have Strong Support When It Conies Up for Considera tion in the Senate. COMES UP NEXT WEDNESDAY. Bill Introduced in the Senate Appropriat ing $200,000 to Maintain tbe Public Schools Ponr Months in Year. A Dull Day la the House. Special Star Telqgram. Raleigh, N. C, January 18. The Senate has made Brown's anti-cigar ette bill the special order for Wednes day of next week. The opinion of legislators on the measure is divided. The bill will haye strong support. Senator Travis introduced a bill pro viding for four months school in every county and appropriating two hundred thousand dollars for this purpose. The bill requires the Board of Education to ascertain what counties cannot main tain schools that length of time and supplement the funds with the neces sary amount The remainder of the two hundred thousand isto be divided among all the counties, according to school population. No other bills of general importance were introduced in the Senate. Important bills on the calendar passed readings as follows : Third reading: To authorize Rocky Mount to issue bonds for an electric light and sewerage; to incorporate East Lumberton, Robeson county; to allow the Public Roads Committee of the Senate and House to employ a stenographer; Morton's bill exemoting train dispatchers from jury duty. The Senate devoted much time to discussion of the bill providing that a husband may have the right to convey title to property in case of insanity or idiocy of wife. Senator Brown char acterized it as a ''bill to promote cruelty to women.'.' The bill was de feated. la the House. A long list of bills was introduced in the House, and many others passed the third reading. Very few were of public interest. The session was the dullest the House hasysjt held. Winston introduced a bill providing that convicts sentenced to terms of ten years or under be sent to county farms and improve the public roads. The bill incorporating the James Walker Memorial Hospital passed a third reading. Bill to allow an executor or admin - istratorjof trustees to foreclose deeds of trust, elicited llong debate but passed its readings. Among the bills ratified to day were: f or the relief of the dangerous insane; to amend chapter 83 of the Laws of 1899; favoring the establish ment of a national preserve; to incor porate the Howard Relief Association, Wilmington; to improve the upper Cape Fear river. The joint commmittee having un der consideration Senator Aycock's bill for uniform text books in the public schools met to night and de cided to defer action as to recommen dation until next Friday. It is con sidered one of the most important bills pending. Communicated. CONFEDERATE. THE YOUNGEST Possibly the youngest Confederate who served in any capacity during the civil war was Capt. H. D. Burk- heimer, a North Carolina boy and a Wilmingtonian, he being drummer boy for the Home Guards at the ex treme early age of eight years. , Un account of his smallness and youth he was unable to march at the head of his company, still, filled with the enthusiasm of the time, and wear ing the mil uniform of the Confed eracy, his father, who was a member of the Home Guards, stood him upon the City Hall steps each day so that he could beat his drum for parade. Such an ardent little rebel he was, his youth alone preventing, him serving in the Confederate army. Not one of the Home Guards, save himself, is likely living to-day, as it was com posed of men above 45 years of age and all too old to engage in active service, but whose duty it was to pro tect tbe city, women and children, to keep orderly the slaves, and also to prevent invasion from lawless bands of plundering soldiers. It is an honor to be the "youngest Confederate," as it shows the spirit of oyalty. even among the children. and North Carolina has never had to hang her head in shame over the dis- oyalty of any of her brave sons at tbe "call to arms." They have ever been the most fearless in the dis charge of conscientious duty, the foremost in battle, the bravest in peril. North Carolina ! may Heaven continue her honor and glory ! Rescned by the Algonquin. A sharpie, in which two soldiers from Fort Caswell were sailing, cap sized just below South port about 11 o'clock Wednesday - morning, . and uckily for the soldiers the Algonquin was laying at anchor in the bay and Beeing their peril a boat' was sent out from the cutter and they were rescued and the sharpie set up again. The capsizing was evidently due to poor management of the boat. No harm was done, but tne unfortunate men had a narrow escape from more serious results. copies' Savior Bank.
