The Time Clock
The Entrance To Safety.
At the entrance door of large factories there is often found a time clock. It keeps
tab on every workman as he comes out and goes in. Make your check book your fi
nancial time clock. Make all the money you receive and expend flow through your
check book. Then you will know—not guess. DO BUSINESS BY CHECKS!
When you enter the doorway of “THE OLD RELIABLE,” you feel that here is
safety and protection for your funds. The vaults within arc fire and burglar proof
and ample insurance is carried to cover any emergency.
But it is not only a knowledge of the physical safety of valuables which draws pa
trons to this bank. It is a deeper feeling of security, a knowledge of safety which
comes from the management of its officers and strength of its directors.

ABOUT PENSIONS.
Dear Judge: Under date of Dec
3rd, 1920, a statement was is
sued from this office for the in
formation of that class of pen
sioners who were approved &
are to be paid for 1920, under
the "new” pension law passed
in 1919, for the payment which
for 1920 an appropriation of
$475,0-00.00 was made by the
General Assembly in 1920.
It was stated: “Under these
unusual conditions, we are fore
ed* to say to this class of pen
sioners that the Governor an I
Treasurer have no assurance
of being able to pay them be
fore March Ist, next.”
At the time that statement
was given out, none of the pen
sions were due and unpaid ex
cept the “new” pensioners ap
proved and to be paid for 1920
but at this time all of the pen
sioners of every class, both the
“new’ and the “old” are unpaid
fo- 1921.
My requisition to pay the new
class for 1920 has been filed
with the Governor since Oct.
23, 1920, but, for want of mon
ey in the treasury with which
to make the payment, he can
not draw his warrant to meet
the requisition.
I am ready to file requisition
for the payment of those on the
“old” rolls who received their
money for 1920, but there isn’t
yet sufficient money in the treas
ury to make the payment.
There is an appropriation of
one and a quarter million dol
lars made in 191!) to pay this
class for 1921, but the increase
of $25 for all who were paid as
much as S9O in 1920. and sls
for all who were paid less than
S9O in 1920, exceeds the appro
priation by several thousand
dollars. The law provides that
this class must be paid by May
Ist in each year but the appro
priation for them in 1921 is not
sufficient, even if funds were
available to make the payment
No appropriation was made
in 1920 to pay any of the ‘new’
pensioners for 1921.
Every pensioner entitled to a
pension for 1920 will be paid
sometime, but just when that
will be we can not know, and
this applies also to those who
are entitled to a pension 1921.
I repeat that it is altogether
unnecessary to waste time, sta
tionery and postage in making
and answering inquiries as to
when the payment will be
made, for there will be no de
lay when the money is in the
Treasury. The interests of the
pensioners are in the hands of
their friends, and no one re
grets the unfortunate condition
more than myself, and none
feels a greater interest in the
good people who are waiting
so anxiously for the money that
is due them by the state.
This information should be
posted at the door of your
court house, and while there
are no funds with which to pay
for its publication in the news
papers I feel sure that the news
paper men throughout the
state wil be glad to do this as a
favor to the confederate vet
erans and their widows.
