FAVOR a REFoRMATORY.
THE HOUSE EDUCATION COM
MlTTEE is UNANIMOUS.
= Sub Comnittee.tfas Seen Appointed
TO Draft Suitable Bill
For 1t.

The House committee on Education
win, this week, present to the House a
bin providing for the establishment of a
RefoImatory in North Carolina. Two
bills have already been introduced III the
House-one by DR.. Dixon and one by
White, of MISUNDERSTANDING such
an institution. The good features in these
are to be taken by a committee composed
0f these two gentlemen and White, Of
Randolph, and Incorporated in such a
measure as the needs of the State and the
condition of the treasury may warrant.
This committee will meet tomorrow aft
ternoon for that purpose.
rhe full committee met yester-
day afternoon in the State Library. The
special order for the meeting was the
Reformatory question It was discussed
by Capt. G.. b. benson and Mr.. r. III.
Battle They appeared before the com
miftce pursuant to a request from the
the Chamber Of Commerce of this city, to
urge upon the Legislature the importance
of the establishment of an industrial
school for criminals under 10 years Of
age. They both made able and convincing
speeches, presenting in a clear, concise
manner the reasons why such an instltu-
ton had become a public necessity-for
the preservation of the State and the
salvation of the rising generation.
Capt. benson, who is secretary or the
State Board Of Public Charities, first
addressed the committee. He said he
never met but one judge in North Caro-
lima who didn't pray for the establishment
of q Reform School in this State. lie
traced the course Of the youthful trans
gressor from his first serious offense to the
penitentiary and his subsequent release
as a hardened, deep-dyed, degraded
criminal.
Crime in the United States, he declared,
was on the increase and we ourselves
must do something to check it. We must
go TO the root of the matter The boys
and tlle girls. the stuff Of which bad men
and women are made, and good ones, too,
must De looked after
He said there were seyenty-fve re
form schools in various parts OF this
country, and not one had ever been dis
continued Wherever established jails
and penitentiarics were being dicontin-
ned. In North Carolina. on the other
hand courts were being increased in
number and tire hundreds Of conyicts and
prisoners were every day being added to-
Mr.. Battle favored the establishment
Of only one institution, to be divided up
for both races and both sexes. The
proposed bills, he said provided for
raising revenue for the establishment of
the reforma tory by issuing 100000
bonds The object OF the law, he said
should be to prevent crime and he didn't
think the money OF the State could be
better expended than in this way This

1t is idle to experiment with other rem

TONSILITIS! TONSILITlS !!
CAN BE CURED BY USING
MRS. Joe PERSONS REMEDY

For a long time my son was troubled
with some bronchial trouble, which,
every time he took cold, settled in his
throat and produced something like
tonsilitis. The tonsils would enlarge
and swell SO that he had great trouble
to swallow anything, and could take no
solid food. Last spring he took half
dozen bottles of Mrs. Joe Persons Rem
edy, and gargIed his throat with the
Wash, and it cured him-he has never
had spell since.

he considered a duty the State owed her
young children. The young boys get into
the clutches of the law and come out
a lost body and a lost soul.
In behalf of the citizens of Raleigh and
of the State, he asked that such an in
stitution be established.
The committee was unanimously in
favor of the reformatory and upon mo-
ton, Chairman D0ckery appointed a
committee consisting of DR.. Dixon, of
Cleveland; White, Of Alamance, and
White, of Randolph, to draft a suitable
bill and report it back to the full com
mittee.
