REJECT THE OFFER
STATE OFFICIALS DISCUSS MIR,
 HUMESS TENDER.
Believed That Legislature Would Not Appropriate Money for a Soldiers Home to Be Located
 in Huntsville.

It was the general opinion in official circles at the State Capitol yesterday that the Legislature would not accept the tender made by Hon. Milton Humes of the grounds and buildings of the Alabama Military Institute at Huntsville rent free for fifteen years, as a home for indigent Confederate soldiers.
 It was said that the home would be too far from the center of the State and that the offer was only for the use of the buildings for fifteen years after which the State would probably have to purchase them or discontinue the home.
 Governor Jelks declined to discuss the matter beyond commenting Mir. Humes for his generosity.
 It was said at the Capitol that the Leg islature would be asked to aid the Falk- ner home at Mountain Creek which is already sheltering nearly a score of aged soldiers of the Confederacy. The Falk- ner Home has helped itself before asking help. It is, moreover, near the center of the State, easily reached from all parts of Alabama. The people of Alabama, 1t was pointed out, had already manifested a deep interest in the Mountain Creek Home and had given 1t financial and nor al support. The grounds at Mountain Creek have been given outright to the Home and when the State assumes the responsibility of caring for the old Con- federates at Mountain Creek the entire property will pass to the State.
 For these reasons 1t was said at the Capitol yesterday that the Legislature would in all proba bility extend the aid of the State to the Mountain Creek institu- tion,
