THE AMBRICU5 WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER, FRIDAY JANUARY 30, 1903.
CHECKS TO COME IN
ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
Sumter’s Old Veterans
Get Cash.
Will
PAYMENTS EARLY IN FEBRUARY.
Judge Allen Receives Instructions as
to Payment of Pensioners In Sum
ter. More Than a Hundred Here
Will Get Pensions From State.
Within a few days now thousands of
dollars will be paid out by Judge
Thomaa M. Allen, of the court c f ordi
nary, to the 100 Confederate veterans
and widows of heroes dead whose
names appear upon the honor roll of
the state of Georgia, whioh pays an
nually nearly a million dollars to those
who upheld her honor.
More than 80,000 will thus bo dis
tributed in Sumter eonnty alone.
For some time past the veterans
have been making inquiry as to when
this annual payment of pensions would
be made, and the Times-Beo. rder, as
usual, gives the information.
Jndge Allen was advised yesterday
by Pension Commissioner James W.
Lindsey that the checks for the 100
pensioners here would be made out on
February 8th., thus striving here
about the 0th. or 13th., when they will
be distributed immediately among
those in whose favor they are drawn.
It will be a great payday at the temple.
These 10C ohecks are for various
amounts, ranging from $5 to 8150,
though probably a hundred of them
t e for the uniform sum of 800.
Tuns, between SC.000 and 87,000 will
be paid to veterans here.
This list of 10G beneficiaries Includes
the maimed and indigent veterans,
and the widows of Confederate sol
diers. These Spartan women get 8G0
each, and there are quite a large num
ber on Sumter’s roll. Ineir’s is in
deed a roll of honor of which Georgia
is proud, and the only regret is the
meagre amount allowed.
Next to his own family Judge Allen
would rather assist an old soldier, or
soldier’s widow, than anyone in the
world, and since he has been in office
he has assisted them greatly.
Besides the vast amount of work he
has done and is still doing in keeping
the reoords, making out applications,
eto. Judge Allen discovered the fact
that several old soldiers were ' drawing
smaller sums than they should, under
the law, and through his personal ef
forts their pensions have einoe been
increased.
This evidences the fact that the Con
federate veteran, one of whom he is,
stands very near his heart, as to that
of every patriotio Georgian, and it iB
going to afford Judge Allen great
pleasure to give font their checks at
the time stated.
A Good Recommendation.
“I have notioed that the sale of Cham-
l« rlaln'a Stomach and Liver Tablets la
almost invariably to those who have
once used them,” says Mr, J. H, Weber,
apromlnent druggist of Cascade, Iowa.
What better recommendation could any
medicine have than for people to call for
it when again In need of auoh a remedy?
Try them when you feel dull after eat
ing, when you have a bad tkste In your
mouth, feel billions baye no appetite or
when troubled with oo.stipation, and
yon are certain to be delighted with the
prompt relief whioh they afford. For
sale by all druggists.
DEMAND IS STILL VERY HEAVY.
Looal Dealers Can Sell Carloads of
Com Now.
While.there is no grain famine here
by any means the short crop in this
seotion last year is oreating a demand
for corn and oats already whioh Ameri-
cus dealers find it difficult to supply.
One of the dealers told the Times-Re-
cordcr yesterday that his house oould
scarcely fill the orders coming in, ow
ing to the delayed shipments from the
grain oentres of the West. Then, too,
much of the corn now oomlng here is
damaged b; “heating,” as is millions
of bushels held in storage there. An
Americas man who bought a carload of
corn a few days ago found it seriously
injnred. Already pnees here, as else
where, are higb, and the prospect for
a still further advance is roseate in
the extreme.
THE TIGERITES ARE ALARMED.
Thoufch None of Them Have Como
Acrosc With Dou;h.
The Times-Recorder’s artiole vaster
day relative to the action of former
Tax Collector Dunn in issuing tax
executions against parties here indict
ed during the past few years upon the
charge of selling liqnor in violation of
the then existing local option law, was
a bomb thrown in the camp.
If was the first intimation given them
of snch action, and naturally they felt
a little trepidation.
While the executions, several of them
for the sum of 3100, had been placed
in the bands of Sheriff Bell for collec
tion, none had been levied at the time,
hence the surprise manifested.
And if the executions are valid, ns it
remains to be seen, some of the de
fendants will have to come across to
the amount of several hundred dollars.
There are quite a number of the fifas,
and not a few well known citizens are
included in the list of those who may
be thus taxed.
It was said yesterday by a well known
attorney that this step was taken at the
instance of the comptroller-general, as
is done in other counties.
That is, in “dry” counties where the
sale of booze is charged.
And in all instances, it is said, the
parties thus aimed at are those who
either pleaded guilty to indictments
by the grand jury, or who operated
under a revenue license issued by the
government authorities. Nearly one
hundred Buch licenses were issued in
8nmter[eounty.
Parties desiring to sell liquor would
take chance of running the gauntlet
of the state courts, but not so with
Uncle Sam. Hence many here, it is
said, held regular revenue licenses.
While the comptroller-general may
hold to the opinion that snch violators
of the law can bo compelled to pay a
state license of (200 each, eminent
legal lights here and elsewhere hold a
contrary opinion, and the cases will
doubtless be litigated ere the tax fifaB
are paid.
At all events none of those in Ameri
cas have given up the dough yet, pro
ferring time for consideration if the ex
ecutions are pressed.

HUNDREDS OF TONS DEI IVERED,
Ameilous Plant Rushed With Bus‘-
ness Yesterday.
While business has been at the top
level at the new plant of the Virginia-
Carolina Chemical Co. in Ameriona for
a month past, the orders that poured in
yesterday broke the reoord for a single
day’s business. Orders for GOO
fertilizer oame yesterday and were
promptly filled, shipments being mode
to a dozen south Georgia towns be
ing made to a dozen south Georgia
towns besides that sold to farmers
right here. The plant was a soene of
greatest aotlvity yesterday, gangs of
men working from morning nntil
night loading cars and wagons. The
aerions plant la now rnnning at full
oapaoity, and as it can torn ont 22,000
tons in a season it will be prepared to
handle expeditiously the orders that
pile in from every seotion of southern
Georgia,
The action of the City Board of
Education at the meeting Friday night
iu discussing the advisability of re
questing Oouuoil to lew a per capita
tax upon all pupils in the publio schools
of Americus, as told exclusively by the
Times-Reeorder yesterday, excites
much interest and is being generally
discussed among oitizens.
Many heartily favor the suggestion
of the Board of Education, while oth
ers, of course, oppose it.
It is believed, however, that a ma
jority of the school board regard the
proposed measure as equitable and
just; imposing no onerous burden, and
that it will be favorably eousidered.
Tue school board will hold another
meeting two weeks hence, and at that
timeitjis believed a formal request
will be made of the city council to levy
this tax of one dollar upon each and
every pupil |in the city schools, the
fund thus oreated to be devoted to the
maintainance and extension cf the
Bshoola of Amerious.
Many prominent members of the
sohool board expressed hearty approv
al of the per capita tax when approach
ed upon the subject yesterday.
It will add S3 C W annually to the
sohool fund and impose no bnrden.
Last year, it will be remembered, this
per capita tax was imposed by eouneil
at request of the Board of Education,
but for some reason the tax aet was re
pealed before the schools opened in
September, Many prominent citizens
and taxpayers eonenr in the opinion of
the sohool board that this tax was jnst
and right then and is jnst now.
The contention is made that there
are GOO to 800 pupils in the colored
schools and 500 to COO iu the white
schools. The parents of hundreds of
these pupils, it is said, do not pay even
a poll tax of 81. Taxation should be
equitable and jnst, and if citizens get
the benefit of the schools here, it is
said, they should willingly pay this
per capita tax of $1.
At all events some action npon this
line is going to be taken when the
Board of Education meets next.
Don’t Worry.
This is easier said than done, yet It
may be some help to consider the mat
ter. if the cause is something ever
which you bavo no control it Is obvious
that, worrying will not be’u the matter
In tbs least. Oa the o.hor band, if
within your control you have only to
aot. When you have a cold and fear an
attack of pneumonia, buy a bottle of
Chamberlain,a C-iugh Remedy and use
it judiciously and all cause for worry as
to the outcome will quickly dlsapper-.
There is no danger ot pneumonia when
it la used. For aale by all druggists.
