various measures was a bill by Repre

the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency to investigate what legislation
would be necessary to permit “tho prop
er financing" of farmers and stock-rais
ers. Representative Lee, of Georgia,
put in a bill authorizing tho Federal
Reserve Board to take action necessary
to extend liberal credits to cotton far
mers, while Representative Baer, of
North Dakota, reintroduced his measure
which would prohibit gambling in food
stuffs. Representative Caraway, of Ar
kansas, offered a bill to prevent tho sale
of cotton and grain in futures markets.

NEW PENSIONERS MAY NOT BE
PAID BEFORE MARCH.
Judge I,. A. Porduo, Ordinary, lias re
ceived from tlio Stato Pension Commis
sioner a letter explaining why the old
Confederate vetoraiiH and widows addoil
to tho roll mirier tho new law lmvo not
boon puid tills year, and for their in
formation wo givo his letter below in
full—
- - The pensioners approved under-tho
now law of 1919, to whom a pension of
$100 for 1920 is duo, are becoming very
anxious os to whon tho payment will be
marlo. Wo hnd hoped, oven as late as
Sopt 1, that this payment could' bo made
by Nov. 1, but that waB before tho crisis
enmo in tho reduction of the pride of
cotton and otlior products. This calam
ity lias produced such a slump in every
lino of business that ovorybody has auf-
forod. But fow Boom to bo paying thoir
taxes for 1920, and that is tho only
source from which tho State derives its
money. Tho pooplo are not compelled
to pay thoir taxes until Doc. 20, and
mnny will not bo able to pay then, but
will submit to thi oxponso of execution,
levy, interest and advertising, and defer
puymont until next March, when they
enn borrow monoy with which to pay
thoir taxos and coats. Under these un
usual conditions wo are forced to say to
this cliiBs of pensioners that tho Governor
and J roasuror lmvo no assurance of be
ing abio to pny thorn boforo March 1
next. It will bo a pleasant duty for tho
Governor to issue Ms warrant, tlio Comp-
troIlor-Gonornl to approvo it, tlio Treas
urer to-issuo tlio checks, ami tho Com
missioner of Ponsions to rusli tlio chocks
to tlio Ordinarios, who will immediately
iny out tlio monoy whon in hand. It
s altogether unnecessary to waste time,
stationery and postage in ‘making and
answering Inquiries ns to whon tlio pay
ments will bo mado, for there will bo no
CARD OF THANKS.
Wo wish to thank our neighbors and
lriomlB for their many kindnesses and
words of sympathy during tlio illness
and upon tlio death of our donr brother.
May God’s richest blessings rest upon
