the state, the establishment of a reform
school. Capt c. B benson, of Raleigh,
secretary of the state board Of CHARITIES,

! Orphanage were booked to present this
question A letter from Mr.. Mills was
read, expressing regret at his enforced
absence on account of the sickness of
one of his assistants at the orphanage.
Capt benson made an eloquent plea
for the unfortunate boys and girls that
have no home and whom society and
the schools cannot receive. We ought to
save such instead of sending them to
peritentary to have whatever Of good

be educated in crime. He cited numer-
Gus instances knowing the need of such
place of refuge. He carried his hearers
with him.

great reformers have centered around
some philanthroEist, who was the origi

not begin in political parties. He said
