about some one throwing a brick or

thought that tlip throwing was
done bv one of the three negroes
mentioned and a dispute followed
in which Jaefus put them on the

In his annual roport Commissioner ot
Pensions Lindsey will make some lm
portant recommendations to the mem
bers ot the general assembly. This
report is expected to be submitted to
the legislature next Monday.
The commissioner w.ill aak for an ap
propriation this year ot $88,000 for pen
sion rolls. This is an increase of $68,
000 oter the amount set aside last year
for pensions. According to the report
there are more than $1,000 new names
on the pension rolls for 1902. The in
crease represents pensioners of the
indigent class.
Last year the pension appropriation
was $822,000, which was an increase of
$182,000 over the preceding year, for in
1901 the rolls amounted to $090,000.
This large increase, however, was made
necessary largely by the addition of
another class of pensioners, the indigen t
widows who. were paid $18,000.
Commissioner Lindsey will make
three very important recommendations
the first of which is the necessity for
having the legislature take steps to
have a complete and accurate roster of
oil Georgia sqldiers prepared; This
will facilitate matters considerably and
will prevent, to a large extent, any
possible chance on thrvpnrt of unscru
pulous person*, to practice fraud on the
state.
Another recommendation will be
that of having impartial medical ex
aminers appointed, probably one of
each congressional district, to pass
upon applicants for pensions. The
third recommendation is in the interest
of quarterly instead or annual payments
of pensions.
Captain Lindsey is of the opinion
that if this plan la carried out and is
operated after the manner adopted }y
the state school commissioner in paying
state public school teachers, the work
can be accomplished in a comparatively
short tiino ,and the state will get the
use of much of the money throught the
year.
Governor Candler, in his late message
to the legislature, touched upon several
of these matters ,
Commissioner Lindsey is very anx
ious to have laws passsed which* will
prevent fraud in securing pensions nnd
hopes to interest tlu; legislature to that
end. Recently he discovered that three
men were impersonating their fathers,
who were dead, and were receiving the
pensions intended for their patents
The names of the men have not been
made public by the commissioner, but
lie has sent them to the grand juries in
their repective counties for action.
