S-ihse j it appro priations foibwe.l through IhiO ard the building was completed in 1841, when a mammoth celebration was held in Raleigh for its dedication. The largest singie appropriation was $120,. 000, made in 1836, while the next larg est was $10,000, made in 1X3H. The present capital stands at what was once the literal center oi tne city of Raleigh. It replaced a building that was destroyed by fire oil June 21 1831, when many valuable books and manuscripts were lost. However, the old building, far less durable than the present. building and erected m V94, had become inadequate and its de struction did not constitute such loss, after all, except for the things it contained. Bills for the erection of the new and better building were im mediately introduced into the Stale Senate and the House of Commons, as the lower branch was then called. But these measures failed. That was in 1831. A year nassed aiid the ruins of the old building sii'l stood. Much confusion attended the period without a capital, but the Legislature, of 1832 by a vote of 35 to 28 in the Senate -and 73 to 60 in the House, voted S50.000 to start the work of .rebuilding and the cornerstone waj laid on July 4, 1933 It is interesting, in this connection to note the wage scale ot that tune But reductions were m order then, as now. When David Paton, a Scotch man educated in Edinburgh, came to Raleigh to superintend the work, he found the cost of overseeing was $25 a day. He reduced this figure to $9. Twenty-eight stonecutters were paid $81 a day. This amount he cut to $36, affecting a saving of $42 a day in these two items alone. He found hirmself Will Read History Of County At Dedication not only the supervisor of the work, but the superintendent, as well, also book-keeper and paymaster.- 'In' fact, it is said that he had every detail on his shoulders and then had to make the working drawings he was builder, architect and designer. The State Capital is 100 feet north and south and 140 feet east and west. The apex of pediment is C4 feet in height and the stybbate 18 feet, while the columns of the porticos are fipe feet, two and half inches i;i diameter.

This organization of young people with its national, state and local of ficers, as well as its members, is ex tremely active and will continue so in order to serve the principles of de mocracy through the Democratic party. (By W. Thos. Reeves, Chairman of Publicity Committee.) During a recent meeting of the Young People's Democratic Club of Haywood county a constitution was adopted which established it as a part of the national organization and set forth its purpose in no uncertain terms. This coniutut'.on plainly states that this young people's organ ization is a part of the Democratic party of the United States. This point was again ma da clear by the District Chairman, Doyle D. Alley, when he stated at the time of the constitution's 'adoptba thit th'f Young PeopleV Democratic Clu'j of Ameri- a is and must a.wa y- be an aux.!;iiry to the .Deniosraii:;, party 'of Thonii3 lefTerson, working as a unit ir the IvanceinerL : or democracy.
