ACQUITTED.

Mr.. J. H. Kirkland, the Pullman car
conductor, who had desperate fight
on his car about one year ago with their
Railroad Commissioner, Tom Crenshaw
was tried III Cobb Superior Court last
Thursday aud acquitted, much to the
qualification OF his many friends that he
made here by his gentlemanly deport-
ment. Commissioner Crenshaw was
approached on the train and asked for
his ticket and he refused to show it, it
is said, to the Pullman conductor, US
ing insulting language to the conduc-
tor, which resulted in fight, the con-
ductor being thrown against glass,
breaking it, and gashing his head badly.
A knife was used on Crenshaw and he
was cut in &c veral places, both men
being very bloody. Kirkland was
arrested and gave bond, several of
our citizens going on his bond although
he was stranger to them. The man
ner in which he had been treated by
Crenshaw created sympathy for him
and everything that conld be done to
help him was freely done. His trial
and acquittal showed that he was not
in the wrong, and everybody felt glad
here that the verdict indicated
his conduct. Mr.. Kirkland is quite a
nice gentlemanly fellow.

OUR STATE PENSION POLICY.

The present pension policy OF Georgia
seems to be gradually leading the state
into a condition of financial embarass-
ment. The policy will either have to.be
changed and the annual increase of PEN
sions held down in some way, or our
taxes, already high enough to be bur-
deGsome, will have to be increased be-
yond reason.
We see that the appropriation bill re-
ported to ithe house of representatives
by the appropriations committee yes
terday contains the following appropri-
ations:
Disabled soldiers pensions. $185 900
INDECENT soldiers pensions. 1856, 900
INDECENT widows pensions. 49,. $4,000
Widows pensions Observation-Disclosures. $4,000
TOTAL. .............. So40, UJo
In addition to this there is an addi-
tional appropriation of $l2, 800 for the
Soldiers Home.
The annual report of Pension Com
missioner Lindsay shows that the PEN
sion payments of the state have been
from 1879 to 1902, inclusive, Y8, 1853 800.
Add to this, the $845, 900 for the current
year, and we will have a total of ST.
sos, 720-more than the bonded debt of
the state.
The appropriations for pensions have
been increasing from year to year, and
yet the cry is heard for more. Last
year the tax levy on the property of the
state for pension purposes was 1872;
and this year it is 95. Where is this
pension policy going to lead the state?
or how much longer will the state be
able to stand it?-Albany Herald.
