Applications Of Widows
OF Veterans for Pen
siOns Pouring i'm.

The Secretary Of the State Pension
Board has received q large number of
applications from widows of Confeder-
ate Veterans who were married be-
tween the years 1870 and 1875, in the
time as extended by the act Of 1904. .
The Secretary Of the Pension Board
up to this month has refused to receive
the applications Of widows for pensions
under this act of 1904, because of the
fact that when the act was passed. and
ever since that time, all Of the appro-
priation has been used up In pensioning
the Confederate soldiers who were on
the rolls, and the $4,000 year that
has been received from the State was
not even sufficient for this purpose.
Now that the appropriation has been
doubled by the last General Assembly,
the Board proposes to receive the ap-
plications all OF these widows and pass
upon them along with the other appli-
cations that have been received during
the past several years.
The applications are coming in ct q
lively rate. The Board will meet dur
ing the fall to pass upon the claims of
the applicants.
