Chairman BeJeman, who has in
charge the details Of the immigration
campaign Just inaugurated, says that
It was not the idea Of the association
prior to the Macon convention to pro
coed with undue haste. but to lay the
foundations of the work broad and
deep. He says that the work is now
on a thorough business-like basis and
will be prosecuted in a practical, sys-
temauc kind of way
Il expect great results from the Ma
con convention on immigration, said
Commissioner Agriculture Hudson, IN
speaking OF the meeting.
ON the convention were manufac'
urers. merchants, business men, pro
fessional men and farmers. Every part
Of the state was represented, showing
that interest in this vital subject is
confined to no particular section, but
permeates every part of Georgia.
THE one great thing necessary now
is money to work with in bringing in
desirable immigrants The convention
nut this matter in the hands Of com
petent men, and the campaign will
begin in earnest. The whole state is
aroused to the question and results
are sure to be obtained"

Mrs Thomas J. Jackson, widow of
General Stonewan Jackson, will in
future receive a pension Of 500 per
month from the national government
on account of services rendered by
her husband, the noble Confederate
chieftain, during the Mexican war
The bill was first introduced in the
senate by Senator Oyerman, and pass
ed that body. Friday it was passed
by the house.
There was a good deal of interest
in this pension bill Mrs. Jackson is
not in reduced circumstances, but
those pushing the bill declared she
did not have enough of the worlds
goods to support her as became the
widow Of Stonewal Jackson. Con
gresham Nicholas Longworth, who
is a member of the house committee

lively. Mrs Jackson now lives hin

Had the point been raised on the

Jackson would probably have been de-

that only Mexican war veterans who
served later in the civil war were
entitled to pensions from the govern.
