CUMMING.GA. APRIL 28 1909
New Pension Law Soon Effective.
Commissioner LindNey Writes ot
New Plan and Asks tor
Information.
In regard to the new law relative to
payment of pensions in Georgia Com
missioner Lindsey writes as follows:
Atlanta, Ga., March 19, 1909. —The
general assembly to convene next June
will be expected to enact such laws as
will be necessary to provide a pension
for that class of confederate soldiers and
widows of confederate soldiers, author
ized by the constitutional amendment
ratified by the people at the last Novem
ber election.
In p-eparing this legislation “the in
firmity and povery” qualification that ex
ist in our present law (which has been
so repulsive to the patriotic pride of so
many true confederates will be repealed,
and in lieu thereof will be provided the
new constitutional qualifications: That
is. to pay a pension to every confederate
soldier (who were married prior to the
first of January, 1870,) not worth over
fifteen hundred dollars, who performed a
term [to be fixed in the law) of actual
military service in the army of the con
federate states or of the organized mili
tia of the state of Georgia, and who was
honorably discharged therefrom, Also
a provision will be made to pay a pension
to that class of widows who had a hus
band killed in the service—has since re
married and is now a widow. The a
mount of rhis annual pension is to be
fixed by the law, and what that amount
shall be depends largely upon the num
ber to/be provided for,
My purpose in bringing this matter to
your attention, is to urge upon you its
importance, for everybody is vitally in
terested in the subject, and it behooves
us in some organized way to secure the
co-opera ion of all good citizens, and
tax payers, county officials and especially
the representatives and senators in the
next general assembly to go to work in
dividually and collectively by committees
or in any way for the best results in each
militia district, and ascertain just how
many ex-confederate soldiers and widows
of ex-confederato soldiers are now resid
ing in your county to be provided for in
this new legislation. This I think can be
easily done. You can get -rom the pen
sion book in the ordinary’s office a list of
all the pen doners, check out the pen
sioners, and you will then have a skele
ton list to start with. Canvass each name
thoroughly, you will find that the tax
receiver put some on that should have
been left ofT, and that he left off some
that he should have put on. Make a cor
rected list, then ascertain the company
and regiment in which ftach man enlisted,
and in what regiment he served, and who
the witnesses are that each man’s ser
vice are to be proven. Also canvass the
service of the husbands of each widow in
the same way, and of the time and where,
sha and he were married, and of the val
ue of what property of all kinds that any
af them are in the use and possession of,
Do not depend on what one may say or
claim of himself or herself as to the ser
vice in the army, or of their property or
its v.due —but ascertain by investigation
what the true facts are of each one, and
by whom it can he proven.
Your activity and vigilance in this mat
ter will keep the unworthy from your
pension rolls and aidmaterially in mak
ing these rolls, rolls of honor, as they are
intended to be. Your failu-e to be active
in this matter may burden the taxpayers
and embarrass the state with improper
claims for pensions.
The general assembly will need the
light of correct information on this sub
ject to legislate intelligently. You can
by some effort get it for them, and please
do it. The only sound basis of all legis
lation is a full knowledge of all the facts
about the subject matter for which leg
islation is sought and there is no surer
way to guide legislation into safe chan
nels than by furnishing them all the facts.
So let me beg you to get together and by
concerted effort in each county furnish
the number to your representatives or
ordinary by the first of June next, and I
will consolidate them and place them be
fore the general assembly. You will
thereby do the state a great service, and
protect the pension roll from the charge
of fraud.
Respectfully requested.

Doctors
say take Cod Liver Oil— they
undoubtedly mean Scott's
Emulsion.
It would be just as sensible
for them to prescribe Quinine
in its crude form as to pre
scribe Cod Liver Oil in its
natural state. In
Scott’s
Emulsion
the oil is emulsified and made
easy to take—easy to digest
and easy to be absorbed in to
the body—and is the most
natural and useful fatty food to
feed and nourish the wasted
body that is known in medicine
today.
Nothing can be found to take
its place. If you are run-down
you should take it.

Appreciate Your Mother.
The graveyards are full of moth
ers who died taking care of their
children. Better appreciate your
mother before \our appreciation
of her will will be no kindness to
her, and the post mortem regrets
will be more and more of an agony
a* the years pass on. Big head
stones of polished Aberdeen and
the best epitaphs which the family
put together could compose and a
garland of whitest roses from the
conservatory are often the attempt
to attone for the thanks we ought
to have uttered in living ears and
the kind words that would have
done more good than all the calla
lilies ever piled up on the sdent
mounds of the cemeteries. The
world makes applauditory ado over
the work of mothers who have
raised boys to be great men and
most of our readers could turn to
their books and find the names of
fifty distinguished who had
great mothers —Cuvier’s motner,
Walter Scott’s mother, St. Bern
ard’s mother, Benjamin West’s
mother. But who praises mothers
or what they do for daughters who
make the homes of this land. We
do not know of an instance of such
recognition, You never hear a
word in appreciation of the self
denial, of the fatigues and good
sense and prayers which those
mothers go through who navigate
a family of girls from the edge of
the cradle to the schoolhouse door
and from the schoolhouse door up

So, don’t neglect your stomach.
Don’t become a chronic dyspeptic.
Keep your stomach healthy and
strong by taking a little Kodol.
You don’t have to take Kodol all
the time. You only take it when
you need it.
Kodol is perfectly harmless.

achievement which the eternal Goa
celebrates high up in the heavens,
though for it human hands so sel

My! My! What a time that moth

if she had relaxed care and work
and advice and solicitation of
heavenly help that next gensration

while she is dead, that some girls
call their mother “maternal ances

take something promptly that you
