vErERANs PENSION MONEY.
A correspondent of The Advertise, writes as follows:


 writes as follows:
 An old Confederate soldier. who. stSte h.s eaed y mo tn ditlonai relief of needy soldiers" etc. which yon yin 1S ,ss on Pg,atrs Pags, sts of tns tns 1908, and at the request of the old sold iers mentioned. l call your attention
 It seems that there is a surplus of about three quarters of million dol lars in the State Treasury, or that there will be such sum about the 1st h the seG0 Act of eA the Lesisiature | mentioned. the Governor, after consultation with the Auditor and Treasurer, may, if in his opinion the condition of the Treas, of one hundred thousand dollars to the needy Confederate soldiers and sailors of the State. Does 1t not seem lature should fbe carried out by the payment of this one hundred thousand dollars to these old soldiers out of this
 The verbiage of the Act above men tioned is such that proper construe- tion would appear to make this course mandatory on the .Soverhnor Una inasmuen sbsii be paid, If 1t may be done without forcing the State to borrow"
 The answer to the above is the fact that two or three months ago the Gov ernor issued directions to the Auditor that S1o0.ooo additional appropriation would be paid to old soldiers. The fund has therefore been increased $io0.0oo more than has ever been given to this needy cause. There Is no cause of complaint on the part of any one. or to paying to the old soldiers all that the law allows them Governor Jelks would be the last man in the State to be instrumental in depriving them of one penny. Our correspondent evidently wrote in ignorance of the facts of the case.

Pra,... State Administration.

F"I see that there Is surplus or something like $750000 in the State treasury" said an observant citizen yesterday.
 T am quite sure this announcement recently made by Governor Jelks was surprise to many of our best ana most hopeful citizens. confess It surprised me in the size of the surplus, which I did not think was quite so large as that. -
 ''At the same time 1t has been my pleasure to see the remarkable success of the State Board of Convict Inspect ors. Under the policy of Governor Jelks, which Lieutenant Governor Cum ningham fought for in the Legislature, money has been pouring into the treas ury in arithmetical progression. For this reason I anticipated a fairly neat surplus but not so large as three quar- ters of million dollars
 The new system of leasing State convicts not only has its profitable h- nancial feature, but in an economic sense all around it Is demonstrating every quarter that 1t is sound. It is healthful to the convicts as we'll as to the body polite for the State to have charge of the clothing, feeding and quartering of the convicts. Gradually I am informed, the Convict Department Is getting control of the convicts in all of these particulars, insuring their vel fare and the responsibility of the State. Every quarter I am glad to hear Judge j. M Carmichael and his fellow mem bers of the State Board announce the close of contract by which state guards are to take care of the conVicts' Their physical and mental well-being have never been at higher standing than now. The reform in the methods of working convicts is largely respon- sible for the surplus in the treasury.
