Rev. ID. w. IIioti who WAS called TO

The Legislature should pension In.
old soldier literally, for he deserves it
if anybody does. If he was crippled in
he war let the State help him. and if
he WAS killed let the State support his
widow and children. If Il railroad
kills your son yOm promptly sue the
railroad for one hundred thousand
dollars. Then if the State puts her
SONS in war and gets them crippled and
killed, surely State will bc us human
as railroad corporation. If she will
not she had better quit posing us the
guardian Of the peoples rights and
liberties. Yes, we say again, pension
the old soldier that deserves it. Mr..
Ellcrbc says the pension system is
abused, therefore cut down the nppro-
priati0nS. ls IL human being perfect?
Was there ever corporation perfect
Was there ever IL system perfect? Was
there ever Church perfect taking it
individually? Was there ever IL per
feet preacher except Christ? SO you
can consider that until YOU answer all
these questions in the affirmative, that
such IN excuse in Mr.. Ellerbe is with
out the least foundation. We hope
| that the Legislature will increase the
pension appropriation. We have an
old soldier in mind now-Mr. j. w.
Ford. Il shoemaker of this place, who
is very feeble, and he fought through
the En;lfcdrratr VIII. ruined his healtll
