There were many interesting jind im

Early in the session Col. W. II. S.

"Itesolved by the North Carolina Di

Following this introduction . General
Carr nnoted a brilliant Southern woman
of a distant State on the superior dis
tinction won by Xorth Carolina soldiers
in the Civil War and that support which
the Statues of the Confederacy promised
1 to accord their troops, the last para
graph of the quotation being ns follows:
"When the historian shall have gath-
ered np add the material which will
shoitly be at hand., and shall have writ
ten of what North Carolina suffered and
.what she gave for the elefense of. the
Confederacy such historian will fill the
brightest oages of human records, and
j will render-eternal the chivalry, gallant
ry and courage of her sems."
Did she speak the truth? Will North
Carolina '"fill, the brighest pages of hu
man records? Are the chivalry and gal
lantry of her sons to be eternal?

Col. Carr reviewed the incipiency and
growth of the present Sobers Home
and the efforts, which were by the way
under his leadership, for , its, establish
ment and said among other things:
"But at this juncture, William C.
Stronach came to my aid, of whose ser
vices in behalf of. the Confederate vet
eran for many years, no man can ever
say enough, to express the deep grati
tude, not only of every man who wore
the gray, but every lover of his native
State.
"And another, whose important sup
port and encouragement has not been as
fully known as it should be, Col. A. B.
Andrews, president of the Sojdiers'
Home Association, a gallant soldier, and
survivor of as frightful a wound as men
endure-and live.
'"With their support and active efforts,
and recognizing the general wish that if
possible, the Soldiers' Home should be
located at the capital, the institution
was modestly begun, under the imme
j diate'eahe of Mr Stronach, who has been
J chairman of its managers to the present
hour. Stricken with disabling illness at
the post of duty every heart goes out to
him in sympathy now.
"The appropriation for support was
made SI 0,000 in liZK). The
increase
does not amoHnt to tbe average per
rentage of increase of cost in' living, of
every kind since it was made, and we
are today confronted with the same need,

"But during, the year just closed, there
were 28 received, by vacancies froni
death and otherwise, yet forty-seven
duly vouched applications were refused.
It is well known that many more would
have been made if to?re had been fairly
good prospects 01 auiiniyji. AS iar asmorrow ; . , ' ;

ship to the desen u'g, as long as tne
tnaane nf snnnort remain so limited. !
"Surely the least possible provision
that should be made, is for 150, which
requires $20,000 as the sum for annual
onnnirt
"That we may speaiv witn precision, i
I would remind yon that the entire sum!
available for pensions last year was!
$110,070, paid to a total of G,129, in-j
eluding widows, and T7. special pensions. !
Pensioners of the first class were 111
in number, and received 5.58 each.
" '.Those of the second class were 353,
and received $42.50 each.
"Of the third class, there were 019,
who-received $29.00 each.
"And of the fourth class there were

that man who boldly told the world the
other; day that North Carolina was not
an impoverished and,. God-forsaken re

ever before, its school, population larger,"
its colleges, more flourishing,- its. great;
churches increasing, its charities multi-i
plying,' its mills and factories exceeding j
in number those of any other Southern
State, its newspaper , press uplifting al
most every county with its vivifying
power. '' ' ; ' '. .
Addressing the members of the Legis
lature, General Carr said: ;
"You are fresh from the body of the
people, from .'the masses of tax-payers,
of the workers in "the hive of society, of
thofce who bear, its burdens and pay for
its demands. v : -
"Tell me, as man to 'man,, will, any me
among you plae'e -his hand upon his
breast Kiid say that the w'ill of the peo-j
pie dcer-aps that the Ayorthy and sufter
ing, war-worn veteran among us, no
longer able to add by his labors to the
;common pvosperi ty, should receive but
fifteen dollars a year, with the fear of
the decrease of that pittance before
him? v. .
"You know, -as I know, who have
grasped hands with the men of -the monn-
tains ana or tne seasnore, irom ine covts
of Swain to ;the sands of Pamlico, that
wero the tax-payers gathered before you
fn 011,e vast throng, a m-igljty wail would
asccnd to heaven for justice and hu-
. 1 m . t , 1 t 1.
inanity.
"t'Two things the pensioners ask, and
they beg yon to present these things
with such emphasis to our law-makefs
that no man can doubt where his duty
lies.
"They beeeech you, first, to safeguard
the State by providing only for those
of honorable record and in actual need.
And seeondlj-, they ask that whatever
may be deemed right and fit to be paid
to ithem annually" -may ba a fixed sum,
or at least a minimum, so determined
in rhe law that it will surely come to
them.
"For the maintenance, and proper care
of the Soldiers' Home the sum of twenty
thousand dollars is required. The prop
erty is your' own: it is situated where
no dollar of improvement will be lost,
when the swift-rolling seasons bring the
day to haul down its flag for the, last
veteran to pass over the river to rest
under, the shade of the treas."
General Carr spoke for probably an.
hour or more and held his audience with
the closest attention. He reviewed the
