ton of life and property. The past
history of the city, with it's riots, has
demonstrated beyond all question the
value to the city of these military or.
CARNATIONS, and it is very generally
known that the presence of these or
CARNATIONS and their readiness to
perform any service which may be
required of them is all that has pre-
vented and that now prevents, fire.
quent outbreaks which would be dis
astrous to the city. These military
organizations constitute the reserve
police of Savannah, for which each or
ganization is paid by the city $230.77
per annum. Placing the strength of
the organizations at fifty men. which
is "a fair average, each man would re-
cefVe $f.61 per -annum, or about one
cent and a quarter per day. The city
government seems to think that it is
very gracious to these organizations
and to these men they contribute this
drihlet to the maintenance of the or
ganiza tions. We are decidedly of the
opinion that for the sum expended the
city of Savannah derives the cheapest
Insurance against riots and bloodshed
that could be had from any source. We
do not consider that the city Is MAX
ing us any gift when it pays us a
cent and a quarter per day for ser
vices rendered as special police; on the
contrary, we are strongly of the
opinion that we are poorly paid SER
wants.
I'VE are depely appreciative of the
efforts of those members of the Board
of Aldermen, chief among whom was
Alderman James NJ. Dixon, who en-
deayored to have the city appropriate
the amount applied for, and can only
regret that there should have been any
opposition to it from any direction
1t is necessary that we raise the money
which the city was asked to appropri-
ate, and we shall proceed to devise
mays and means for doing So"
Capt. Stephens said that Savannah
does far less for its military than
many other cities of the South He
mentioned Montgomery, Birmingham,
Macon and Augusta as instances.

In the first place, we did not care to
resort to such methods, and, secondly
If we had been willing to pursue this
course. ii would have seemed entirely
unnecessary. 1t appears the opposi-
ton to the appropriation was based
upon doubt in the minds of the al
dermen as to their right to make the
appropriation. The applica ton was
based upon the ground that the con-
tests would increase the efficiency of
the special police of Savannah in the
use of small arms, and we have no
doubt of the legal right of the city to
appropriate money for this purpose if
the City Council desired to do So
Aside from this consideration, the city
is being thoroughly advertised
throughout the Southern States, from
Maryland to Texas, and is being
brought into prominence throughout
the country. The literature which we
are sending out contains historic and
descriptive items of Savannah, her
business interests and suburban re-
sorts. There is also a very good ar
ticle on the military spirit of Savan-

What the Military Receives.
Many appropriations have been

PENSION SURGEONS WORK.

ton Days.

ton Days.
Drop around to the pension examin-
ers office in the Custom House any
"Wednesday and you will be surprised
how many people there are who want
to get on the governments pay roll
because at one time in their lives they
wore suit of blue and drew pay as
a soldier of the Union.
Both white and black, young
and old, sick and well
are there at times awaiting the verdict
of the physicians that determines den-
nitely whether the applicant shall
have the much desired pension.
Savannah is the examining point for
a large territory, and this accounts in
great measure for the frequency with
which the surgeons are called upon
ascertain the physical condition of for
mer soldiers.
There are three physicians who do
this work for the government-Dr. st.
J. B. Graham, DIR. NJ. X. Corbin and
Or. Harold L. Warwick, secretary of
the board. The latter said yesterday
that the applications average fifteen
a month, and keep up the gait pretty
steady week in and week out. At
times there is a plethora and then
again there is a scarcity, but gener-
ally speaking, the examiners have
enough to do to keep them busy on
examination days.
Those who are examined in SaVan-
nah have first to file their claim with
Pension Commissioner Ware at Wash
ington. this generally being done
through lawyer, some of whom make
this class of work a regular part of
their business. A blank is then filled
out partially on what o is called the
surgeons certificate, giving the name
of the applicant, his company and reg
iment, address, etc, and if he is with
in Savannahs territory which rough
1y speaking, comprises all within a
radius of 100 miles, the paper is for
warded to DR.. Warwick He then no
titles the claimant when to appear for
his examination, if he is physically
able TO come. If not, the surgeons go
to him.
The men to be examined are of many
kinds. The majority are Union SOL
diers of the Civil War and some few
are those who saw Service" in the
war with Spain. In the main the old
time vets are forced to call on Wash
ington for aid because of suDerannua-
fion. AS TO the ills which aflict them.
