WHEAT 4.1 LOWER THAN

(By

reports and estimates announced
today by the Department of Agrlcul-
Pelham, Ga., Sept. 1.—In few audi
ences addressed by Governor Hard
wick during his campaign for re-elec
tion has there been as many Confed
erate veterans as faced him when be
spoke here thla morning, and as If ap
preciating this fact the Governor ap
peared to give more than the - usual
emphasis to the question ot Confed
erate pensions.
He went into details to expiate his
veto of the new pension bill, which
he said had been deliberately mis
construed add misrepresented
some quarters.
The Governor declared that what
bad really been done was that be had
-etoed a bill which proposed to pay
fl.250,000 a year to three hew classes
of pensioners namely, wealthy .veter
ans. widows who had married veter
ans long after the Civil War and vet
erans who had pone to the war "from
other states, but who now happened
to be residents of Georgia.
He said that, then if the wisdom
of such appropriations Were not ques
tioned there was no money In the
Treasury with igbich to pay
thera was none in sight.- To have
approved such an appropriation with
the state’s treasury empty would not
only have been a deception practiced
upon the old veterans who would
have expected pensions they could
not be paid but such action would
have reflected upon the honor and in
tegrity of the state by Imposing an
obligation which it could not and
would not pay. asserted the Governor.
The Governor calls attention to the
tact that his veto of the bill did not
take any of the old pensioners off the
rolls. He said there were ten thousand
of the old class Veterans, all of whom
had already been paid pensions this
year, amounting to 8100 each and ag
gregating 81.000.000. He said these!
pensioners would continue to r#
their pensions each year.
The Governor declared that wh
took office the state was facing
flclt of about 83,000,000. most of which

pensions, and to school teachi

Premier Poincare gave bla approval

gold deposit sufficient to guarantee

the French premier, who was only pre
