THREE TIMES RETURNED.
The Pension Application Commits
siOner SAYS He Has on File.

The Pension Application Commits
siOner Says He Has on File.
At the next meeting of the Confederate
Veterans Association the matter Of the
alleged discrimination against veterans
from this county in the distribution of
the state pension fund will be presented
and forcible action on the subject will
probably be taken.
Yesterday the Morning News Atlanta
dispatches contained an interview with
Pension Commissioner ]. w. Lindsey, in
which he expressed surprise that he
should be held at all responsible for the
fact that Chatham county, the second
largest in the state, in point of popula-
ton, should receive smaller amount Of
the pension fund than the least populous
county
Speaking of pension applications from
Chatham county, Commissioner Lindsey
says: There IS only one before me now
that has not been acted upon-that of
Francis r. Stone. This will be attended
to promptly"
"As a matter of fact" said Mr.. ]. II.
H. Osborne, a member of abe committee
of the grand jury that ormulated the
roast of the Commissioner of Pensions
which formed part of the general present.
ments, this application of Stone $
has been four times to Atlanta. In this
case have taken personal interest, and
l happen to know that on the three other
occasions twas returned by the Commits
sioner of Pensions for reasons which SEEM
ed to me trivial or purely technical. on
the last occasion Mr.. Stone complied with
whatever requirement was made and the
commissioner has now had his applica-
ton for two months. This shows with
what promptness applications from this
county are acted upon.
81 know that Stone has an admirable
record as a Confederate soldier, and that
there is no blot upon it. l know, too
that he is now in destitute circumstances
and physically incapable of even standing
upon his feet for more than a few min
utes at a time, and he needs as sadly as
does any veteran, the pittance which the
state awards. He should have received
it year ago.
Judge Keilbach has on file in his Of
flee the applications of some forty or fifty
Confederate soldiers who are still keep
ing up the effort TO convince the com
missioner that they are entitled to receive
pensions. Others, after numerous rebuffs,
have become disguised, abandoned the at
tempt and withdrew their applications.
"At the next meeting of the Confederate
Veterans Association L intend TO bring
this matter to the attention of my COM
rades and 1 hope to induce such action
as Will result in a thorough investigations

interesting conditions and l hope it may
