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 representative from the Second Geor gia district, were delivered in tthe house of representatives by his form er colleagues.

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.

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. Military Attack Upon Atlanta.

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. Get a bottle at the drug- store, today. N.
