Pensions.

Editor of The Dispatch:
Slr,--As Legislators are elected to do tho
will or the people, and as they cannot
know what that Will is unless it is made
known to them in some way, j, for one,
want to say word through the col
s,imns OF your valuable paper to the mems
bers Of the Legislature, soon TO assemble,
in behalf OF tho Confederate soldier
that has passed his sixtieth or eightel.l
year.. s5ss III s,3 "a 54
1t seems ito me that the time Is fast
coming, IL not already here. when every
Confederate soldier who is not in COM
Portable circumstances should be given q
pension, But II that is notyy to be con-
sidered, surely every disabled soldier who
has passed his three scoro years should
Z be pensioned. 5 ~
In addition to this. I would ask, as a
matter Of simple Justice. that the pension
OF every Confederate soldier who has at-
tanned his eightieth year be. doubled. No.
ono who has reached that age can rea-
sonably be expected to draw but n few
years longer and surely the good people
of proud old Virginia will not besrudge
tho small plttance so necessary to the
comfort Of the older class Of soldiers,
who. more than forty years ago, gave.
sonlo OF the best years of their lives to
az cause dear to every Southern heart.
The writer now calls to mind two splen-
did soldiers, now moro than eighty years
of age. both in feeble health and in al
most destitute circumstances, who re-
celve eacl, but $50 per year. One OF them
has drawn a pension for only two years
Why not double that amount?
whatsoever is done for this last named
class Of soldiers must be done quickly
The day is not distant when they will be
called to answer the last roll call, and the
grave must close over them.
Let us hear from the people In regard to
this matter. The writer would here re-
mark that, having been one OF the young
est Of the Confederate soldiers. he can
have no selfish interest In this matter,
but that 1t Is for those older and more
needy than himself he asks consideration,

Mr. Joel Farmer is working a
number of hands on the Marion
Beard place. He tells us that he
is getting out some very fine lead
and zinc at a depth of 20 feet
There are two other veins on this
property that are not developed
but the surface indications shows
them to be two fine veins. Mr.,
Fa-mer will sink shafts on both OF
these veins, and no doubt he will
strike rich mineral at shallow
depth. The mineral right of this
property belongs to Mr.. HAIRY,
Mr.. George Order and others OF
Marion. This company is also
opening up mines near Gracey, on
what Prof Wright says is a very
rich property.

One of the most important and
significant deals made in mining
lands and stocks in this section
recently was contaminated Satur-
day night when Harry Watkins
purchased the entire interest OF
&. O. Gray in the Louisville and
Marion Mining 90. While the
figure has not been made public,
enough is known for us to state
that quite a handsome profit is
left IN Mr. Gray's hands. and one
which II requires four figures to
represent. Mr.. Watkins was cleo
ted director to take the place OF
Mr.. Gray, who resigned to take ef-
feot at time of transfer of stock.
The Louisville and Marion Min
ing company is one of our young
est companies, but is enterprising
and has been most fortunate in
their prospecting and in the selec-
ton of mineral leases. They now
own several valuable tracts in this
county, and also in Illinois, and
each one is a profit maker. Much
of their success is due to Mr. j.

WOES OF TELEPHONE GIRLS.

Work at High Pressure Robs Them
Of Vitality.
Nervous persons need not apply"
Is an admonltion which should be
needed by all girls who arc seeking
positions as telephone operators.
The biblical phrase. Many are called.
but few are chosen" is especially APP
pllcable 70 those who are ambitious
to respond to the Hello" OF the tele'
phone subscriber, Not one applicant
In five is able to stand the strain, and
no class of women who earn their
living has the record for fainting that
has been won by the phone girls.
The girls work at high pressure and
this robs them Of vitality.
But the clustering male subscriber
or, more frequently. the chance pa.
tron-is responsible for most of tho
Mysteries at the switchboard. The
girls take a complaint seriously. II
is a reelection on the service they
render and they cannot always pass
II by as joke. In spite OF the num-
Der q telephones In use in New York,
there is hardly an lrascible patron
who is not known 10 the whole force.
A girl answers the call OF such q
man with miggiying, and more than
one operator has been taken away
from her post unconscious while the
brute at the other end Of the line
was pouring his spleen into the
phone.
