these institutions. He hoped the bill
would pass just as it came from the
committee.
Mr.. odefl said the cry in the last
campaign was the care of the old SOL
diers, the insane. and the Deaf Dumb
and Blind, and then the other institu-
tons, and the pledges should be kept.
Mr. Long, of Iredell, favored the

said he was sorry that the Omnibus
Bill had not met With the entire APP
prevail of every Senator The
r'emhers of the committee had no
pet institutions, and had distributed
as equally as possible the available
funds for the next two years He said
the whole discussion had gone off
on letters received from the various
institutions, and he would support an
independent bill for the Morganton
Asylum If the provision i'm the general
bill did not carry a sufficient amount.
The Morganton hospital has received
a large amount and increase, and the
same is true of the other Institutions.
Ihe bill should pass as it come from
the House. and the friends Of the
hospital offer a contingent bill. to be
acted upon separately, if the amount
in the Omnibus bill is not enough. In
regard TO the School for the Deaf and
Dumb, he said that institution has
magnificent farm, and other sources of
large income. and the amount provided
for that institution is amply sufficient,
as it would seem that it was almost
self-supporting. Mr.. Mason in conclu-
sion said he would support an indepcn-
dent contingent bill for additional APP
preparation for the Morganton Hospital
for the Insane. He felt more kindly
for the Morganton Asylum than for
any other institution in the State. and
felt loss for the University than for
any other in the State Mr..
Mason said this bill carries
$527, 600 in excess of the appropriations
of two years ago, and there would
be enough money for the contingent
appropriation. He asked Mr.. Webb to

FAMILY CARES.
This Information May be Of Value TO
Many Mother In Raleigh.

When there is added to the many
cares inseparable from the rearing OF
children that affliction of weakness Of
the kidneys and auxiliary organs the
mothers lot is far from q happy one.
This condition can be quickly changed
and absolutely cured by the Use OF
Doan's Kidney Pills. When this is
known the mothers burden will be
lighter and her home happier.
Mrs. A. G. Howell of 215 T. Davie
street, says: MY little boy suffered
from a kidney weakness. The secre-
lions from those organs were thick
unable to retain it. He often wet the
led much headache. / had a doctor
attend him but he seemed to grow
worse instead of better. noticed
Doans Kidney Pills highly recon-
fnended in our papers, and / got bon
CT them from Bobbitt-Wynne Drug
Company's store. Before the boy had
taken half of them there was a de-
cided change for the better. The Sc
cretions from the kidneys became ma
turnal. He did not complain of back
ache or headache and there was a
wonderful change for the better i'm bis

withdraw the amendment, and upon
Mr.. Webbs refusal, he asked the Sen
ate to vote down the amendment, but
he said ne would support the supple
mentary bill when introduced after
the Omnibus bill had been disposed Of
Mr.. Mason. of Northampton, said
the bin coming from the joint commit
tee on Appropriation should be adopt
ed by the Senate. He said the House
had passed the bill without a single
amendment or dissenting vote. one of
the most remarkable facts in the his
tory of the General Assembly and
he urged that it should pass the Sem
ate unanimously without change. He
said the Senate would be willing to
give DIR. Murphy what he asked, but
the ably and carefully considered
Omnibus bill should not be imperiled
in its passage, but be passed imme-
diately as t was.
Mr.. Williams said the limit had
been reached in the appropriations,
and said the University was getting
more money than it deserved, TO the
detriment of the insane asylums, and
it was wrong in principle to appro-
pirate money to q school where all the
boys of the State cannot get an equal
chance. If the appropriation for the
Chemical Laboratory is cut off that
institution will not be crippled. and
he was opposed to this money going
there to the hurt of the poorer schools
and afflicted of the State.
Mr. Turner favored the Webb
amendment and offered an amend
ment providing for the increase of 81
600 in the appropriation to the school
for the Deaf and Dumb ut Morgan
tom
Mr. Webb said that ii had developed
in the discussion that all the members
were driving at the same end, to prop
erly provide for the insane institution
at MoTganton. and he would Withdraw
his amendment, with the understands
inS 1t should the put ON its immc-
diate passage and be voted upon in
