INCREASE THE ROLL.
Number of New Pensioners Necessitates AL
 lowing Smaller Amounts to Each.

Special to The Age-Hsrald
 Montgomery, Oct. 6.-The confederate pensioners .n tha state will receive each several dollars lcss in pension money this year. The reason for it is that there are 1S,00O new applicants for pensions.
 Auditor White said this morning that the per capita pensions would not ex- c=ed SIS. or $14. The probate judgss are required by law to close the pension rolls in the several counties on June 1, and to report to the auditor on the same date all of the accepted applicants. By no means all of the probate judges have re- ported, but sufficient of them have done so to authorize the auditor to give out the estimate made above.
 In Alabama a special tax of one half of one mill is levied for confederate pen- sions. The aggregate amount realized for this purpose will be this year $115, ,00o or $116,O00 and the number of indigent soldiers and soldiers widows will there- Tore ba seen to be about 5000. The in- crease in the tax values in the state for the year has been estimated to be about sS,00O,000, but the increase in applicants for pensions has ben about 20 per cent The pension roll has increased in a much greater proportion than the tax valu.s have, and hence the decrease in the per capita D ns'ons.

What the Clever Fellows Are Thinking and

The Eufaula Times talks in this man. ner of a fellow editor:
 "The editor of the Ozark Free Press has not a very logical mind. His inten- tions are very good no doubt, but his pen,j following the curvatures of his in- tel1ectual apparatus, performs surious tricks in the great field of mental en- deavor."

 If Editor Miles can be believed, and as he is an extra nice fellow he ought to be believed, prosperity hasn't struck Union Springs. The Herald of that place says:
 'The outlook in Ireland is gloomy, the outlook in, India is gloomy, the outlook for many American politicians is gloomy but we'll tell you the outlook for the Southern cotton planter, when cotton doesn't bring but little over 5 cents, is worse than gloomy. It's cloudy, it's rainy, it's rocky"
 The Huntsville Tribune has this to say of the Hon. Ben Hunt after the try ing ordeal of the marriage ceremony:
 "Hon. Ben P. Hunts condition today was fairly good. Temperature normal pulse little fast, respiration rapid, hardly talk We think, however, that he will pull through all right"
 Editor Lane goes Webster and Worces- ter one bstter in the definition of ruffian. LII Hio popcl, tuc nun ltSNliie lulDuHt, ue says:
 "A ruffian is the species of genus homo who pretendss to be so abs orbed in business that he hasn't tme to be po- lite. H. sticks up notices, This is our busy day. A well-bred gentleman al- ways has time to make all classes who visit his private office comfortable. His ideas of life rise above self"
 Bob, or rather Hon. Robert Patton McDavid now as he is a candidate fer secretary of state, is receiving endorse ments on every hand. The Huntsville Democrat says:
 'It would be highly gratifying to the many friends of Hon. Robert Patton McDavid in Huntsville, if he should be made secretary of state. He has been strongly indorssd by the state press for the office and would doubtless fill the office most creditably.
 The Tuscaloosa Times says of Jeffer- sons candidates for the supreme bench:
 Judge H. A. Sharpe, of Birmingham has announced his candidacy fer the su- prema bench. This gives Jefferson two candidates-Judge Head being a candi- date to succeed himself. Both are said to be able jur,rlls-the latter having been tried on the bench while ths- for mer has not. It is hardly probable that Jefferson will get two places."
