Pensioners now applicants for pen
sions cannot be elected a member OF
township pension boards. When old
soldiers cannot be found in the town
ships, reputable resident citizens nay
be elected If any township shall fail
or refuse to organize as required BY
this act, then the county board should
recommend three go0d men, no! pen
sioners, to the State Pension Board,
who will apointsuch township ,oards.
All pensioners resident n the town
ships mu& appear IN person before the
township boards. Those already on
the pension roll need not prepare and
file new applications. AL new ap2li-
cants mus! be presented to and nave
the approval or disapproval OF the
township boards and county boards
before the State Board can approve.
Township boards can drop from the
roll of pensioners, as now constituted,
the name or names OF any party or
parties which in their judgment are

laws, and add to the roll only such
names OF new applicants as may file
such applications, with proof OF ser

Want at the Doors OF Thousands.

GREESrILLE, Miss, April 6.-Tne
condition OF affairs in this section OF
the Mississippi river continues serious.
Want is today at the door Of many
laborers. The Yazo, Miss, delta
embraces ten counties with popula-
ton OF nearly 100, 900, people, 70 per
cent, OF which are farm laborers. The
secretary OF war has kept himself in
telegraphic communication with the
governor of Mississippi seeking infor-
nation concerning the needs Of the
flooded districts. Governor AcEaurin
in turn has kept in telegraphlc COM
munication with the representative
men of the delta, and yet he has ad-
vised that assistance was not needed.
Today's advices gave more extended
report Of the prevailing condition, and
the leading planters and business men
Of Washington county sent a dispatch
to the governor appealing for govern
ment aid.

and other sources, does not exceed
500, or poor lands, if any, which
does not produce this amount. Prop
erty in applicants or his wife's name
debars them. Where soldiers or wild
ows dispose OF their property By giving
or selling to their children, they are
debarred from receiving a pension.
The question of service to the State
in connection with the various classes
OF reserve carried into the service OF
the State JUS. at the close of the war,
will depend much upon the evidence
submitted to the State Board. When
real service was rendered, the pension
should be allowed. Any citizen of
the State over sixty years Of age, and
otherwise qualified, is as much enti
tied to pension as that class of her
good citizens who merely met and or
ganjz,d on call, without real service.
