Harper and Mamie Win Kittrell Representative Small has in- a bill which may be of great importance in the drain age and reclamation of the swamp lands, particularly of Eastern North Carolina. Recently Rep- of Min- introduced a bill the receipts from the sale of public lands in certain States to the drainage of swamp lands in those States. The of States which now have public lands is comparatively small. Mr. Small has redrafted this bill, making changes, the principal of which is that the funds can be used for draining swamp lands in any State whether having public lands or not. The bill provides that the United States j shall be reimbursed by easy pay- for the expenditure re- quired in the reclamation. bill of Mr. Small further pro- that lairds located in the State and susceptible of may also drained under provision of the act at the option of said State. As North Carolina still owns large bodies of swamp lands which are after the tic has been removed, unless they can be reclaimed, it will seen how the State could utilize this act for its benefit. These swamp lands in North Carolina are owned by the State Board of Education, and any improvement or enhancement in value would increase the assets of our public schools. Mr. Small states that the idea is not at all impracticable, that really conditions may be such in the near future as to re- in the passage of the bill. Texas, which has no public lands as well as the delegations from other influential State.-, is actively favoring this legislation. And why not We are utilizing the proceeds of sale of public lands, and there is no possible reason why should not use part of the same funds for the surplus water from swamp lands and, thereby, open up to settlement lands which will be infinitely more fertile and News and Thursday evening at her home on Washington street Mis Mary L-e Smith charmingly a number of her friends in honor of her birthday.
