Dear Sir:—*In answer to the numerous inquiries about the recent Act of the Legislature, granting allowance to ^maimed ex-Confederate soldiers, I have, in the following statement un dertaken Ho give the main fea tures of the law, and hope to anticipate the questions which may be made in relation to the construcfion given the Act. 1, For the first time the Act provides for payment to such disabled soldier# as did not have a limb or limbs amputated. For. an arm or leg permanently injured from wounds, whereby either is reuderqd “substantial- officer who was in service with him or by three citizens who know of the facts. Also furnish the testimony of two reputable physicians sustaining his claim and establishing his right to the allowance under the law. 4 One-armed and one-legged men who were paid in 1886 or 1887 for the third period, under the old law cannot be paid again until after September 26, 1889. The first payment made in 1879 and 1880 were for five ears; but in 1883 the period was shortened to three yoars, and the second payments were made for the period from Sept ember 26, 1883, to September 26, 1886. The third payments were made for the period from 1886 to 1989. Hence, all who drew the third payment prior to the.approval of the last Act cauuot under the new Act until September 26, 1889, having been paid to that date, 5. One-armed and one-legged men who were in this State Oc tober 26, 1886, and now resided herein and who have not drawn the third payment, can be paid the annual allowances mention ed, for the loss of an arm or leg, Q. The law’ only provides for the present and future and does not allow payments for the past. 7. The Ordinaries of the several counties will aid appli cants, see that the blanks are properly filled our and for warded, 8. Applicant? need not em ploy attorneys to collect what is due them under the law Every facility will be given and full information furnished upon application to the Ordinary of your county or direct to the Ex ecutive Department. Very respectfully, W. H. Harrison, Clerk Executive Department.— Free Press. cross. The adoption of the free school bill (we anticipate its ratification! will give the town an upward impetus that no other action of her people cau overleap. Now, there is some attraction here that must claim the attention of every person who may have children to educate, and while this place will become an educational cen ter, homehunters, builders, la borers and others will be at tracted by the advantages here afforded. With o*ur chuches, matchless climate, railroad fa cilities, etc., the town’s future is exceedingly bright. The Mayor and Council se lected will receive the hearty support of our people, because they are gentlemen of known integrity and unquestioned honor. With such an array of ability our town and people cannot be otherwise than pros perous and happy. Let them be elected, and when declared officers of town let no man speak evil of their actions until the motive which prompts them is understood, and we believe a year with fruitful results is calendared for 1888.

Branch and Elbert Fletcher, two prominent citizens of Irwin county, were passengers on the regular passenger train that came in on the B, & W, rail road at 4:30 Friday morning, and made a mistake which resulted in painful injuries to both. As every one who is acquainted with the location of the depot Itnows, the river trestle of the B, <fe W. road extends to where that road orcsses the S, F, & W. road. At this crossing place all trains are required to come to a full stop before proceeding to cross. When the train on the B. & W. road makes this stop it is on a trestle ranging from seven to six teen feet from the ground. When the stop vas made, Messrs, Branch and Fletcher thought that the “Y” had been reached, and that the stop was made preparatory to run ning back to the union passenger depot. Thinking they would save time and a considerable walk, they hurried out of the car into the darkness and stepped off at a point where the trestle was about twelve feet high. jloth gentlemen were badly hurt, Mr. Branch having his collar bone broken and his hips bruised, and Mr. Fletcher snstaining . painful injuries in the hips. They were taken in the omnibus to the Aftestaq House, and received medical attention from Dr. P. L. Hilsman. who says that, while, the Clinch County's Legal Af fairs.
