VETERANS’ CORNER
Claims for compensation by
ohose who felt the burnt of war,
rrtten raise questions puzzling to
the veteran. Answers to some
of the questions more frequently
asked have been obtained from
VA authorities, and are present¬
ed in this column by The Dade
County Times as a service to our
veterans.
Q. I was told that my disabil¬
ity, which I claim was due to
service, cannot be service-con¬
nected because I had it before I
entered service. Am I eligible
for compensation?
A: If VA decides that your
rilment was incurred in or ag¬
gravated by your service in the
armed forces you will be entitled
f o receive compensation or pen¬
sion, if it exists to a compensable
legree.
Q; I am a veteran of World
War I and would like to know
if there is any limit for filing
• claim for compensaton for
disability caused by my war
service?
A: There is no time limit set
for filing claim for compensation
under existing legislaton, but de-
! uy beyond the first year after
discharge would preclude retro¬
active payments to date of dis¬
charge.
Q: I was practially compelled
to sign a statement before my
discharge that my disability ex¬
isted prior to my enlistment.
Will this prevent my receiving
compensation?
A: Any statement of this na¬
ture, according to the Service¬
men’s Readjustment Act (G. I.
Bill), which you made at dis¬
charge is considered null and
void. Decision as to service con¬
nection of the disability will be
made by Veterans Administration
based on the service medical re¬
cord. evidence in file at the time
the decision is rendered, and
sound and accepted medical
j principles, excluding the state¬
ment made at time of discharge.

Yazoo Land Sale, Was Burning
FJjue Century And Half Ago
A £,aie oi Borgia’s western
rands, supposedly through brib¬
ery of legislature, was the great
.^uc in Georgia a century and a
naif ago. In 1795, several land
companies ihru several various
j isans, succeeded in persuading
ne State’s lawmakers to sell a
fe cod many million acres to them
it a price of slightly more than
?, penny an acre, and with the
pproval of a governor under
pressure. One of Georgia’s Unit-
- d States Senators of the time
wa s a leader in the scheme: and
the other Senator resigned his
seat in Washington in order to
run for the legislature and help
b is people put an end to the
fraud”. Many people formerly
highly respected, including
judges, were involved and heaped
'be indignation of their people.
, The interesting story is told in
, , ost Georgia histories. It is re-
ated especially well in Joel
Chandler Harris’s “Stories of
Georgia”. The famous author of
Uncle Remus left posterity valu¬
r ble historical literature as well
rs excellent portrayals of South-
ern character,
j; Y azoo is an Indian name long
pplied to a principal river of
jthe State of Mississippi. The
ands sold by the Yazoo Act were
, between L the Chattahoochee and
j he Mississippi, territory later
eded by Georgia to the U. S.
j So aroused were the people of
Georgia over the “Yazoo Fraud

\ new legislature was elected
'ncluding General James Jackson
'he Senator who resigned and
-ent to the legislature from
Chatham County. In February,
1796, a repeal measure was pass-
d; and the purchase money, ap¬
proximately $500,000, was ordered
refunded. Many of those who
(
j taken part in the episode
fled the State. One state senator
’hat was connected with the af¬
fair was shot to death in another
rta'e. General James Jackson
fought a duel, so strong were
Ms feelings on the “Yazoo
^’raud.’’ He became the cour-
' geous leader of the repeal
"orces despite several threats to
bis life. It was largelv through
Ms leadership that the land-
r rabbing srhem n was thwarted
Georgia’s action in rescinding
he Art. paused great commotion
'hroughout the entire countrv
nevertheless, the State refused
to satisfy anv of the claims of
purchasers of the lands. The
people of Georgia acted almost
as one in repudiating the scheme
and their new legislators and
Gov. Jared Irwin had quickly and
•’orcefully obeyed their will. The
records and the Act itself were
•niblicly burned in the town
square of Louisville, then the
Mate capitol, with fire from
heaven brought by means of a
sun-glass. We are told that
General Jackson took the lead
in this ceremony. He was elect-
r d governor and also went back
to the U. S. Senate where he
s as serving at the time of his
death.
When the Yazoo claims became
a national issue, Georgia and the
South opposed through their
representatives in Congress any
appropriation for payment.
Prominent in this opposition
were Georgians George M. Troup,
William W. Bibb, and John For¬
syth. The eminent William H.
Crawford had counciled against
the Yazoo sales from the begin¬
ning. In 1802, Georgia, seeing
the handwriting on the wall,
side-stepped responsibility in
connection with the claims by
ceding the disputed western
lands to the United States for
$1,250,000 and other considera¬
tions. The national government
finally settled the claims in 1814
after much agitation. Chief
Justice John Marshall had made
it incumbent by declaring in 1810
in a famous Supreme Court de¬
cision that the Georgia Recind-
ing Act was unconstitutional.
This was the case of Fletcher vs.
Peck. Congress appropriated
$5,000,000 to settle the claim but
required that the money be rais
from the rale of the lands
involved. George H. Smith in
“The Story of Georgi? and the
Georgia People” seems to defend j
those who made the Yazoo sal^^ I
Most historians condemn the
sales stronelv.
