unpaid pensions which are included in
the deficit over the fund appropriated
by the last legislature without wait
ing until that body can authorize an
additional appropriation, former
confederate soldier and prominent
Georgian has offered to lend to the
state of Georgia whatever funds may
be necessary to pay off all claims,
The money will be loaned without
interest.
The offer is made upon one condl'
ton. however, and that is that the
name of the party who agrees to con
tribute the funds will not be divulged'
The offer was made to Governor Ter
reil by letter, and he promptly ac'
cepted it on behalf of the state, and
has written the benefactor of the vet
Grams to this effect. Under the terms
of the loan, Governor Terrell is not
at liberty to make known the name
of the party.
The deficit in the pension appropri-
alton is about $4,000 and affects prin-
cipally the pensioners in Newton and
Clarke counties.
