Disabled Soldiers.

Those interested have not had clear under
standing of the resolutions passed by the Leglsla
ture for the benefit of the disabled soldiers. We
learn from the Raleigh Sentinel that the Governor
has entered into contract with the Jewett Manu-
| featuring Company, for. supplying the manned
soldiers of the State with artificial limbs. The
Company are about establishing an agency in
Raleigh for the manufacture of these limbs We
have heretofore announced that Governor Worth
has appointed Mai L. Garland Ryan, of Chapel
HILL to distribute the artificial limbs throughout
the State
It will be seen that these resolutions contem-
plate aid, not only to the soldiers themselves but
to their destitute and dependent families. The
proposition does credit not only to the heart OF
its author, Judge Manly, but gives substantial
evidence of the generosity and humanity of the
State, and feeble acknowledgment of the debt
of gratitude to those who have been manned in
her defence, and themselves and families impov-
erished thereby.
1t is to be hoped that the Charmen of the
County Courts will not be backward i'll transmit
ting, by the time designated, the information
called for. We have heretofore published the
resolutions, but epublish them for the benefit Of
such as may have forgotten their provisions
RESOLUTIONS IN FAVOR CERTAIN DISABLED SOLDIERS.
