COFFEE COUNTY PROGRESS, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA.
PENSION ROLL IS
COT LOO IS YEAR
IT APPEARS THERE WILL BE A
DEFICIT OF ABOUT $40,000
IN THE FUND.
NEW NAMES ARE TAKEN OFF
Will Try to Pay Half the Counties in
the State in a Very
Short Time.
—Atlanta.
A conference was held between
Governor Slaton and Pension Com
missioner Lindsey regarding the pay
ment of pensions for this year.
After canvassing the situation fully
it was determined to leave off of the
rolls now the 736 new names added
to the 1914 rolls for payment, requir
ing some SIO,OOO, inasmuch as it ap
peared from the compiled figures of
the commissioner that a deficit of
something like that amount would oc
cur after all the appropriation and
available fund was used.
Both Governor Slaton and Captain
Lindsey took the position that pen
sioners who had been on the rolls
for a long period were entitled to
first consideration in the distribution
of the appropriation, and that new
pensioners must take their chances
with the legislature.
It is now hoped that sufficient
money will be in the treasury to pay
approximately half of the counties in
a ten days or two weeks, depending
largely on how tax collectors remit.
A rather general impression has
gained currency appearently that
Governor Slaton set the precedent of
paying teachers out of the first avail
able funds. A pensioner in Hart coun
ty wrote Captain Lindsey along this
line, and the commissioner set out
the matter clearly as follows:
“No one person is responsible for
the financial condition of the state at
this time. The legislature made the
law creating the teachers and pen
sioners and fixed the manner and the
time of their respective payments.
These payments are dependent upon
the collection of the taxes annually
from the people and every other
source of revenue provided by the
law and during these years gone by
the general assembly created more
debts and appropriated more money
than they provided sources of reve
nue to pay them. I am told, and it is
true, that the state is in debt more
than $1,000,000. Neither Governor
Slaton, myself nor the state treasurer
individually or jointly are responsi
ble for this condition.
“If there had been sufficient funds
in the treasury as there used to be
ou the first day of January three or
four years ago, both the teachers and
the pensioners would have been paid,
without any dispute as to who should
be paid first. When the time came
in January, 1911 to pay teacher and
pensioner, it was developed that
there was insufficient funds in the
state treasury to pay both. Then
the question arose as to who should
be paid first, the teacher or the pen
sioner. This was a question of law,
and Governor Brown at that time
submitted it to the then attorney gen
eral, Hewlett Hall, he being the legal
advisor of the governor and of the
heads of all of the departments of
the state government, and clothed
with the authority to interpret the
law and to declare its meaning as
the guide to those whose duty it was
to execute the law. After a careful
investigation, the attorney general
declared the law to be that, the teach
er had the right to be paid first out
of the taxes collected in the year that
the teaching was done.
“That settled the dispute, and this
course has been followed in 1911,
1912, 1913 and will be followed for
1914. Therefore, you see and well
understand that Governor Slaton nor
myself are at all responsible for - the
existing conditions, and should not
be censured for it under the interpre
tation of the law.
Wade Appointsd Judge.
The vacancy in the state
court of appeals caused by the resig
nation of Judge J. R. Pottle has been
tilled by Governor Slaton by the ap
pointment of Hon. Peyton L Wade of
Dublin. Judge Wade’s appointment
meets with the approval of the state
Bar association, which body unani
mously endorsed him for the posi
tion.
Prior to his admission to the bar.
Judge Wade was the editor of the
Dublin Post, since consolidated with
other Dublin papers, and was present
at the organization of the Georgia
Weekly Press association at Mil
ledge twnety-eight years ago. He has
not been active in the newspaper
profession for a numer of years, but
always takes a great deal of interest
in newspaper affairs.
Judge Wade took the oath of of
fice on Monday, February 9th, and
immediately assumed his duties.
Tributes Paid too Roddenbery.
Eulogies on the life and character
of S. Anderson Roddenbery, late a

Mr. Roddenbery's work for the
state prohibition in Georgia and his
fight as a member of congress
against iniquitous pension frauds
were referred to by all the speakers.
Among the visitors in the gallery
during the eulogies was John Rodden

X-Ray Used on Senator Bacon.
Senator Bacon was removed from
his apartments in the Netherlands to
Garfield hospital, Washington, where
an X-ray examination was made to
determine the cause of his protracted
fever.
A month ago Senator Bacon fell
and suffered a broken rib. This has
united, but for the past ten days he
has had fever ranging as high as 103.
The kidneys were found to be affect

the exact cause of the malady.
He ordered his patient to the hos

Then it was thought better care

tthan in his apartment.
Owing to Senator Bacon's age, ha

Forming Boys’ Pig Clubs.
Georgia is the third state in the
South in which the United States de
partment of agriculture is organizing
boys’ pig clubs. These clubs are tha
next step in the corn club work by
which the boy is taught how to market
his crop on four legs instead of four
wheels. The clubs are somewhat simi
lar, each boy raising a pure bred pig
•acccording to instructions and exhibit
ing it next fall at the fairs where
prizes will be given.
The objects of the boys’ pig clubs
in Georgia are:
1. To stimulate an interest in swine
production and to teach how to raise
cheaper and better hogs by the use ol
improved blood and the growing of for
age crops.
2. To increase the number of hogs
raised on the farm in order that the
meat for the home and that required to
feed the extra farm labor may be pro
duced instead of being bought. It is es
timated that Georgia spends $40,000.*
000 a year for meat, in addition t®
what is raised in the state.
3. To compliment the work of the
boys’ corn club by showing the boys
how they can profitably market theier
corn in the form of live stock.
4. To teach the boy how to judge
hogs, and to select them for breeding
and market purposes.
5. To encourage the growing of for
age crops and discourage the use of
high-priced feeds.
d. To instruct the boys in a practi
cal way in the management, feeding,
sanitation and prevention of diseases
of swine, all of which information
proves valuable with respect to other
forms of live stock work.
7. To give the boys some means of
earning some money for themselves?
while at home.
The following are the rules that will
govern the clubs.
1. Any boy between the ages of 10
and 18 may become a member of the
club.
2. Each boy must secure at least one
pure-bred pig if he becomes a mem
ber of the club.
3. Each boy must care for his pig in
person and keep a record of the feed
given and pasture grazed. He must re
cord the. weight of the pig when it
comes into his possession and at stat
ed intervals, so as to determine the
gains. The date the pig was farrowed
should also be recorded.
4. Record blanks which will be fur
nished, should be filled out and certi
fied by two disinterested persons.
5. Each member must have owned
and kept a record of his pig or pigs
for at least four months in order to
compete for a prize.

“ ’TWOULD BE
SWEET TO DIE”
Thought This Lady, While Under
going Frightful Experience,
Here Told First Time.
Linn, W. Ya. —“There is no doubt
but that my life was saved by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s tonic,” says
Mrs. Abbie Shackleford, of this town.
“Before using Cardui, I was very bad
off —would have nervous and shaking
spells through my entire body, terri
ble sick headaches, and would find
myself gasping for breath. I often
thought during those trying times
that it would be sweet to die.
I took many different medicines and
treatments, but they did me no good.
I got weaker and weaker every day.
Finally, I decided to try Cardui and
got two bottles. I was certainly great
ly surprised to note the quick change
for the better, after taking only one
third of the first bottle. The shaky
spells and sick headache have entirely
disappeared. Can now walk one mile
to church and back, and not feel
tired.
Cardui also proved a blessing to my
oldest daughter. Everyone thought
she had appendicitis, on account of a
bad pain in her side, but Cardui
brought her back to good health.
I will never be without Cardui in
the house.”
Cardui will surely do for you, what
It has done for so many thousands of
other women. It will help you.

MOTHER! LOOK AT
CHILD’S TONGUE
If cross, feverish, constipated,
give “California Syrup
of Figs”
A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If coat
ed, or your child is listless, cross, fev
erish, breath bad, restless, doesn’t eat
heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children’s ailment, give a
teaspoonful of “California Syrup of
Figs,” then don’t worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful-child again. A thor
ough “inside cleansing” is oftimes all
that is necessary. It should be the
first treatment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.

“California Syrup of Figs,” which has
