The bill, originating in Charlotte through the instru
mentality of Dr. A. A. McGeachy, to provide a suitable
home, is now pending in the General Assembly. The pa-,
pers throughout the State have been urged to call at-1
tention to it, and to encourage a widespread interest on j
the part of the people in order that favorable action may j
be had when the matter is voted on next Thursday. A
local committee, headed by Rev. G. B. Hanrahan of tho
Presbytcriai: church, has been appointed to look after the
interests of the bill in Kinston, and The Free Press is very
glad to give its endorsement to the work of the friend
of thin bill and to urge that the Lenoir representatives
