STATE VETERANS ASSOCIATION
Meets Here on the 25thMr. W. c.
Stronach Sets Forth Its Objects.

Stronach Sets Forth Its Objects
The House of the Legislature yesterday
granted the use of their hall to the
Confederate Veterans Association of the
State. which meets here on the 25th
inst.
In an interview yesterday with Mr. w
c. Stronach, president of the Soldiers
Home Association, he said:
THE Confederate Veterans Associa-
ton, which meets here on the 25th inst.
is for the purpose of considering the qucs-
ton of what is right to do in the way
of pensions for the Confederate soldiers
of the State; to consider whether it will
join the United Confederate Veterans
Association; and to devise means to per-
petuate the history of North Carolina
in the Civil War.
ne Soldiers Home Association will
ask the Legislature for an appropriation
of $4,000 for the maintenance of the
Soldiers Home and $1,000 for two years
for buildings.
THE present appropriation is $500
for all purposes, which is entirely IN
adequate.
There are now 11S persons, old vet
Grams. who have the right to come to
the Home, although there are rarely
more than seventy people ut the Home
at time. This is because of the free
pass system instituted by Col. A. Il.
Andrews, of the Southern Railway, and
acquiesced in by the other roads. and
in this way about one-half Of the in
mates are away visiting relatives and
friends. Some stay away one, two and
three months, some a year at the time,
and the others only call on the Home for
clothes.
The Home is not an additional bur
den on the taxpayers of the State. be-
cause if the veterans We're not cared for
by the Home, they would have to be
cared for in the various county homes
for the infirm. That would be dis
grace to the State and in direct contra
diction 10 promises made when these
men enlisted. 1t costs very little more
70 care for these old soldiers honorably
i'll the Home than to care for them in
the county homes for the infirm
THE Home Association does not be-
lieve in soliciting contributions from in
dividuals in or out of the State In the
latter quarter of last year the Home
Association was compelled to ask for
outside assistance, and even borrowed
money from the Raleigh Savings Bank.
which was loaned without interest, and
which has not been paid.
Tine money which will be raised by
the Confederate Bazaar has no con-
nection with the Home and so far as
we know not one dollar Of it will find
its way into its treasury"

horse and buggy. This created some sus-
picion and Sheriff j. y. House arrested
them on information he had received
from Scotland Neck. Capt. White went
up Saturday, identified his property and
jailed the negroes. The old man with
whom they stopped asked them il they
had stolen the horse and buggy. Robert

New York to live and had given him
the horse and buggy. OATS all right,
said the old man: 'ef youse stole dis
