STATE TO PAY DEBT TO NEEDY. (Continued from 1st Page.) rint- the grounds ornamented with :rees and shrubbery and the. walks .loan. The old comrades are, as-a rule contented. " The fare is good: the ,1ms comfortable, the regulations reasonable, and an air of cheerfulness oervades. ; . r .--; A Home for Confederate Widows. A bill is now pending for the estab lishment of a home for the indigent widows and wives " of. Confederate veterans, carrying with it an appro priation of $10,000 for the erection and furnishing of buildings and $5,000? annually for lis support, -mere are now approximately 6,000 wives and widows of Confederate veterans In North Carolina and a goodly number 'ot these are entirely ; dependent upon others than themselves. s The Daugh ters of the Confederacy-, have been plugging away on this movement for a number of years and there Is no doubt that their endeavors will culminate in success at this session of the Legisla ture, as the bill passed the Senate Sat urday. Several cities are' pulling for the Institution, Durham having offered to give a site and $2,000 cash in ah ef fort to land it. This is understood to be the best offer made to date. The. Daughters promise to raise $5000 with which to furnish the home. It is known by all that the time is ripe for showing the old soldiers and then widows gratitude for their service in an effort to uphold the South's noble cause and this, point Is being strongly arguel by those favoring the move ment, which seem3 to have no opposi tion. " V ' ' -v..' Tenth District Legislation. It appears that Henderson county, is to have a search and seizure act simi lar to that enjoyed by the State at large. At the most interesting and spectacular session , of the present General Assembly the House of Repre sentative Friday, night passed a State wide search and seizure act. Its des tiny will be determined in the Senate, where it will get some' hard knocks even if it is not killed. There were all kinds of tactics in the House calculat ed to lay the bill on the cooling board, but after a hard struggle the bill was adopted by a large majority. Many representatives from various parts of the state endeavored to have their counties exempted from the operation of the bill, but the supporters of the same wanted a State wide affair or none at all. '. j The Representatives from Transyl vania, Swain, Rutherford. Qraham and Clay counties wanted ' their counties exempted, but to no avail. This bill embraces the one introduc ed for Henderson county by-Representative Patton. Other bills of his are in the hands of the committee on Private Bills for the purpose of including them in an omnibus bill to be made up near the end of the session. - Representatives and -Senators from the Tenth Congressional . district con tinue to drop bills of Interest to their respective counties or districts in the hopper of the Legislative mill, which has ground out a large number", those of the last week being given in this' article.

At the recent - hearing bt ithe .State food Commission It was shown that New York and suburbs use around 2.500, 000 bottles of milk daily, in addition to about 60,000 cans of 40 quarts each, which are sold by milk stations, r,' The" paper milk- bottle promises to be a great proposition since it will solve a' number of problems which now confront that trade.
