EXTRA PAY PROMISED THEM
ANOTHER WIND FALL FOR SPANISH
WAR VOLUNTEERS.
From Ten Dollars Up Will Be DistrID'
uted Among Them. Payment Is
EpeCted to Be Made Soon.

1t will interest the large number o.
soldiers in and around Dawson who
enlisted in the Spanish war to know
that more money is coming to the
Georgia volunteers. When Governor
Terrell was in Washington recently
he learned that he could probably get
from S4O,O 900 to $4,000 to distribute
among them.
The amount to be received from
the general government for this pur-
pose will be little more than two
weeks pay for each private, non-com-
missioned and commissioned officer.
There is no doubt that Georgia will
get this money for the men she fur
nished during the Spanish war, be-
cause payments have already been
made to the troops furnished by other
states on the same grounds. This mon
ey will be paid to to the soldiers OF the
Spanish war as extra compensation for
services for which they have already
been paid, but the government recog-
nizes the mistake it has made and Is
willing to make good. F"
In other words, the government is
going to pay the soldiers and officers
who served in the war with Spain
twice for this same service. Though
the government did not pay the men
for the time for which they were ac-
cepted until they were mustered in,
Georgia did pay her men for that SER
vice out of the state treasury, and the
federal government has since REIN
bursed 'the state for the money SO
paid. The same is true in other states,
but the government holds no receipts
from the men for this money, and 1t
appears it has been decided to pay
them again as extra compensation"
Several of the northern states have
already received this extra compensa-
ton for their men, and the indications
are that Georgia gwill be the first OF
the southern states to get it. Each
man will have to prove his claim to
this amount, just as do pensioners, and
it is probable that each one will be
called on to produce a certificate oil
service from his superior officers.
The men will receive all the way
from $40 for the privates to $25 or $40
for the officers, according to the rate Of
pay they drew when In the service.
There are no less than fifty men in
Dawson and vicinity who enlisted dur
ing the little rucus with Spain, and
while the individual amour: they will
receive is not a great deal there is nc
doubt that it "will help some"

INCREASED FARM ACREAGE,
New Ground and Old Fields Be-

ground has been cleared, and old field
