OF Senator Hanna's bill to pension the

derstand," say DR.. McAden. why
every newspaper in the sonth does not
advocate the passage of this bill. 1t
is estimated that it would put $780,
600, 600 in circulation in the south.
In Mecklenburg county there are
1000 ex-slaves 20 years of age. Each
of these would get $500 down and So
per month afterward until they die.
Then there are other ex-slaves of so
to 80 years Of age, who would come
in for a lesser amour If the bill
should pass, it would put more than
half a million dollars in the pockets
Of the darkies Of Mecklenburg county,
and how many watermelons would
that buy, Why, the whole state Of
Georgia would have to go to raising
watermelons n then there would not
be enough to supply the demand.

His finances usually match.
He's r~ollicking, reckless. uncaring,
Lives but for the hour. the day;
He's dangerous, dubious, daring,
Not fit for 4 husband, they say.
But sometimes We girls are forgiving,
Perhaps he but needs US the more
Because he goes wrong in the living
