next vote was as to the location at Raj
elgh' Ihe vote was ayes So noes So.
niense interest was felt ia the vote. the
gallery being filled with deaf mutes and
bind and their teachers. The result
was greeted with applause The bill
then came up on its third reading. Mr..
Ray opposed the bill, saying the people
dc not want tie new Institution estab
llsled at all. Mr., Sutton attacked him
Tor this change Of bis views, and said
that the House had disposed of the mat
ter. The ayes and noes were demanded
upon the passage Of the bill on IT'S third
reading. The result was ayes 70, noes
81. This was a very conclusive vote.
Tue bill makes al appropriation of
$4,000 annually to the Institution.
Mr.. Jones hoped he did not speak for
Raleigh, because he lived here. The
offers Of Morganton and Raleigh are
about equal. 1t is very inoonvenient to
have to send committees away from the
capital, and the annual cost of their go.
Ing anu coming will make up the differ
ence. There IS no proviucialism in Raj
elgh. A man comes here from any sec
ton and can at once, if he is able, take
high position. We feel kindly towards
all the State, and this institution ought
| to be where all the State authorities and
the legislature convene. AS to officers, it
will cost more to go to Morganton. From
| the standpoint of health, Raleigh is best.
If children from the east go west, their
health may be inj j1red by going from the
low country to the mountains.
| Mr. Williams, of Iredell, wanted new
board to manage this institution. 1t had
not been managed as we'll as it ought to
be- The expenses and the salaries are
too great. Nineteen thousand dollars of
the money appropriated is paid for off
GERS and teachers. It is very large pay
they receive. l have been worked up
over this thing. If necessary, we ought
to appropriate twice as much am no
"Cheap John" but do not think that
half Of this appropriation ought to 60 to
teachers and employers / want to get
out Of the old rut, and get new blood in
the management 1t is not only in this
institution but in most of the others.
Col. HOuck urged the claims of Nor
canton the committee examined the
claims of all the places and reported in
favor of Morganton's offer. He replied to
Mr.. Jones, and said that it was the first
time he had ever heard that there was
malaria in Burke. He was vigorous in
his defense of Burke as the best health
resort IN the State It costs almost
double to maintain and board in Raleigh
as it will cost in Morganton.
Mr. Morton did not believe in putting
up public institutions and putting them
up to the highest bidder. Are we pau
pers Should we beg the cities of the
State to build our institutions? No We
ought TO have no feelings between the
V st and the East. Let US locate it in
H-loish and Tins reE;atro oirsai yes ffz--
+ ali seotionalism about it. It will offer
the greatest convenience in Raleigh.
Mr. Cover said that the question was
where will the children be best treated
and where will they be best educated
, r tleigh affords every advantage to them
and the children will be where they car
come easily None Of the places offers
: advantages equal 10 Raleigh.
DIR. Woollen advocated Thomasville
} and said the committee was greatly
} pleased with the location offered. w
ought to look forward to the future ben
eft of the tax payers, for we can sup
port the institution one fourth cheape
3 at Thomasville than in Raleigh or Nor
t canton The soil is better suited tt
productions of all crops, and for SO 80
month the children can be boarded il
3 large numbers.
! Mr.. Bryan, of Wayne, viewed thi
5 matter from an impartial standpoint. A
q fist he voted for Raleigh, but it was
\ rule with him to go with the ma ajority Q
: the committee unless there is some goo
J reason. Raleigh has advantages tha
! have weight. Whether it be located 8
Il Raleigh or Morganton, it ought to b
y under separate management. The COS
e of teachers will be the same. At Mo-
s canton in addition to the magnifcer
e site, the water supply and electric ligf
:. plant belonging to the Insane Asylu'
). can be used cheaply. The climate
is Morgan5on was invigorating. When tt
a insane were carried from Raleigh
E. Morganton, their health improved, so q
l. officer in Raleigh told me.
n Mr.. Alexander advocated Raleigh. {
re had no sectionalism aud loved all Il
ID State equally. He made an earnest a
q. peal for the location in Raleigh, and
le patriotic plea for the death of section
~ feeling.
lg Mr.. Perry opposed removal fro
ls Raleigh in an earnest argument. III
at people from the West advocate this b
OF cause of love of their section 1t is unwi
n to carry these institutions away from Il
a. capital He cited as an argument t
to cost that it was upon his county to car
to the insane from his county to Morga

re Mr.. Ray said he was tired of heari
I'D the motives of the people of the W.
,s. impugned. The history of the peol
ms of the West show they have always r
al. bonded when tie East called. | ha
on voted to protect Eastern industries,
so when we ask anything the old stale c

ais urged "we must bnild up Raleigh"
ab- have been trying to do that for an hl

to chance. The other Southern Sta

at reason why We should not.
