A lady living in West Eaton Madison Co.,

to Dr. Pierce, says: “I write to inform vou
what your remedies have done for me; but they

to commence or where to leave off, as I had such
a complication of ailments. For th/ee years I
had such bad spells I thought that* - Jr dying was

was going to happen—l could not tell why
either I could write a dozen sheets full and not
tell all the dreadful things I suffered, from fe

"I advise all who are suffering no* only to use
Dr. Pierce's medicines, but to get his advice also,

Oh yes, the cotton planter is

he does it for the charitable

Elitor Sid Lewis observes
that Georgia is paying pensions
out of a depleted treasury t<>
men and women who are in in
dependent circumstances. It is
an outrage on a poor and tax
ridden people. It is time to re
f Tin this evil.

Georgia is wringing from her
citizens about eight hundred
thousand dollars in taxes, to bi

Sparta Lhniaelite.
PENS’ON REFORM.
It has been suggested often
that one easy and just way in
which the expenditures of the
state which have run ahead -o,
its income may be reduced by
its proper pension reform.
Ihe people of Georgia are
glad to pay pensions to Confed-
erate veterans, and the widows
of veterans who med the aid of
the state ; they will never con
sent that aid which the state
now gives these worthy men and
women shall be withdrawn or!
I
even reduced.
But there are pensions paid
out of the state treasury which
cannot be justified and wlirh
should be cut off as soon as pos
sible. These pension® are drawn
by persons who have an ample
support from their run proper
ty or their own ((forts In some
instances they go to persons
wh" ei’iu handsome salaries.
Though these persons a e wil
ling to beeome a charge upon
the state, the state should cease
tc extend to them that privilege.
Mr. Brandon, of Fulton, intro
duced two bills yesterday which
should become law at this ses
sion.
The first bill provides that
section 1255 of the sode of 1895
be so amended as to prevent
any person who enlisted in the
military service ol the Confeder
ate states during the war from
drawing any pension from the
state regardless of whether or
not he is drawing such pension
at present, unless he can show'
by affidavit or otherwise that he
is unable on account of poverty
to support himself.
Mr. Brandoil’s second bill
provides that section 1262 of the
code he so amended as to apply
the same restrictions to ehe wid
ows of Confederate so diers.
There can be no argument
against these bills. Those who
are able to support themselvts
have no right to expect tlie oth
er citizen* of the .state to give
them money.
Let every needy. Confederate
veteran and every needy widow
of a veteran in Georgia rem in
on the pension roll as long as
the slate ha® or can r use a do -
lar, but strike off that roll tin
name of every man or woman
who doe® not need a pension
lliie ia a matter of simple jus
tice to the taxpayers of the state.
The legislatuie should not hesi
tate to provide for the revision
of the pension roll as provided
for in the bills introduced yes
terday.—Atlanta Journal.
Gov. Atkinson and the last
legislature are responsible for
the high taxes and the treasury
deficiency of nmre than a million
dollars. Would they call it
statesmanship?— Sparta Ish
maelite. •
The Ishmaelite believes that
at least 50 per cent of the names
on the Geoigia pension rolls
should not be there. Here is a
field for the reformer, exclaims
