MORE PENSIONERS
Many Names Added to
Rolls to Fill Places
of Dead.

The State Auditor is busy on ms
annual report and in making out the
pension rolls. The warrants for pen
sions will be paid on the 18th OF De-
cember and will come in good Chrlst-
mas season for the needy ola NeleI
ans. The pensions range in amount
from $3.50 to $14 year, the largest
amount being given to those destitute
old soldiers who are either totally
blind or have suffered the loss of both
arms or both legs. A ixty-dollar pen
sion is given to those totally dlsapled
and unable to work. The other pen
sions are graded to the minimum
amount to fit the comparative necesl-
ties and poverty of the benefclarles.
There are now 900 old veterans
on the rolls and the appropriation is
100000. This sum is increased by
$4,000 which remains over from the
distribution last year, not called Tor
and the probabilities are that there
will again be a surplus this year.
The fact that many of the needy
pensioners do not call for their meagre
stipend is a pathetic witness to the
ravages of death among the Old
soldiers of the South Two years ago
there was a balance left from pen
sions after the distribution, therefore
the Auditor added many names OF
needy veterans to the rolls and drew
his warrants for 100000. In spite OF
the increased number, there remains
a balance from last years warrants
of $4,000 Anticipating. the deaths OF
pensioners during the year, Auditor
Dixon has again increased the num-
Der on the rolls and this year he Will
issue warrants for $20S,00O or $4,000
more money than the appropriation
malls for with the added balance.
Speaking of the pension rolls yes
terday DR.. Dixon stated that he felt
justified in issuing the warrants in ex-
cess of the appropriation by the ex-
perience of former years. 1t is UNI
doubtedIy true that, sad as the fact is,
the veterans who are entitled to State
pensions are dying in increasing num-
bers year by year. The policy of
the State is now, of course, to get as
nearly as possible all needy old sol
diers on the rolls. In a few years the
number of pensioners will decrease so
that the amount given to each may be
larger. AS it is now, the appropriation
is sufficient only to give the average
pensioners, as DIR. Dixon expressed it,
a Christmas gift.
Inadequate as the amounts received
are to their needs it is pleasant,
nevertheless, to think of the checks
coming to gladden. the "old vets" at
the happiest holiday season of the
wear.
