$3.50 IS GIVENTO
VETS IN SUMTER,
Annual Payment of Pension
Checks.
MANY VETERANS CALI ALREADY
Total of Io2 Pensioners Are Given
Checks Here a Called Fcr-New
Pensioners on List of 1907 Must
Wait Until July for Their Money.

AS fast as the Confederate pensioners
call for their checks at the Office of the
court of ordinary here Captain John
A. Cobb hands them the coveted paper,
and they leave rejoicing. The amounts
are small, but go long way towards
relieving their many necessities.
Numbers of the veterans called yes
terday and received their money.
The checks are drawn upon the Bank
of Southwestern Georgia and the
Planters Bank Of Americas, and are for
amounts ranging from S. for small
disability to 500, the maximum.
When all the veterans and widows
here are settled with, the total paid by
Captain Cobb will amount to Sc, $50 and
of this sum 5000 is now in hand.
This is represented in checks, drawn
in favor of each pensioner who has been
drawing heretofore. The only disap-
pointed ones will be the dozen pension
ers whose names have been put upon
the 1907 rolls, and who must now wait
until later date.
All these, numbering dozen, will
be provided for when the legislature
assemblies early in June and makes
additional appropriation for the veter-
Grams. The portion of the ad Iitional
amount thus coming to pensioners in
Sumter county will be about $3.50.
During the past year nine pensioners
in Sumter have passed away, while a
dozen new names have been added to
the rolls here.

TRACKED NEGRO THIRTY MILES
Hound Kept on Trail and freed Fua-
<itiVe.

Several years ago people of Americas
contributed to a fund for the purchase
of track hounds to be used in pursuing
fugitives, but the dogs were of little val
ue and were disposed of. But the value
of good dogs is recognized and fully de-
monstrated a few days ago when Sheriff
who was wanted for murder, all the way
from Harris county to La Grange, and in
seven hours after the man escaped the
dogs trailed him to the place named
and he was captured and placed in jail
and now awaits trial. This incident
shows the value of well trained dogs,
and every sheriff should have at least
two if no more.

Common Colds are The Cause Of Many
Serious Dlsea~es

Physicians who have gained nation
al reputation as analysts of the cause of
various diseases, claims that if catching
cold could be avoided long list of
dangerous ailments would never be
heard Of Every one knows that pneu-
monia and consumption originate from
a cold, and chronic catarrh, bronchitis,
and all throat and lung troubles are ag-
gravated and rendered more serious by
each fresh attack. Do not risk your
life or take chances when you have a
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
will cure it before these diseases de-
velOp. This remedy contains no opium,
morphine or other harmful drugs and
has thirty years of reputation back of
it, gained by its cures under every con-
dition. For sale by Eldridge Drug

MANY VETERANS STILL UNPAID
Pension Fund is Running Short as
Usual.

Again the pension appropriation is
running short this year, and the short
age will be in the neighb orhood of $780,
600. Many veterans in Dolly, Macon
and Schley counties will have to go
unpaid as result of this shortage.
Last year the shortage was something
over $1,000. Commissioner Lindsay
says the veterans are inclined to find
fault with him, but it is a matter he
cannot help. They do not understand
that the Legislature simply appropriates
so much money, and beyond that the
pension commissioner cannot go.
