Editor DemOcrat-Star:
When Brr'r Gardiner was editor Of tho
Daily Nevs, Of this city, he was vc,y
much worked up" 50 to speak, because
the Senate of his much loved Georgia re-.
fused to sustain the House bill to pnr-
chase n home for the aged veterans Of tho
late wal between the States. We're he in
charge o he could exercise his word
painting on the Senate Of Alabama for II
very much smaller act OF theirs. During
the late session Il bill WAS introduced in
the lower House giving the veterans the
privilege "f pe,ldling IN this State with
out license, which enabled many of The
sold vets" 10 make a living. who were in
capacltatcd for Labor. 1t was passed
quickly and readily, and sent to the Sen-
ate two weeks belolc adjournment. but
that august body quietly pOckctcd it in
committee and let it die there. 1t was
certainly a little thing 10 do. but ii wa
l0ne. and We think 1t reflects Tut little
on them.
Speaking Of Brc'r Gardiner, it was he,
] think. who wlOte and committed the
Ncrs to Mr.. J. l.. Rapier Tor the nostmas y
teiship. Since that time it has tganspi il.
