BRANDON EXPLAINS
 PENSION MATTER Shows How Money Has Been
 Paid Out HE RECIPES THE LAWS increases in Taxes Have Not Yet Been ReaIIzed-The Pensioners Receive
 More Money Than
 Ever Before.

Montgomery, June 17.-(special.) .)-Audit- or William W. Brandon has made a state ment of the condition of the old soldiers pension fund, showing the amounts avail able and how the fund has been paid out' indicating that it has been this year al ready s2sS, ,427 in excess of any other. He recites the laws and calls attention 10 the fact that the increase in taxes mas not vet been realized, a result or Wnlcn VIII be plenty of money, no doubt, Tor next year. He suggests that the propate judges make statements of the facts in distributing the warrants.
 The full statement follows:
 For the information of all interested desire to make the following statement of the pension fund and to show all that Alabama has done and is doing for her Confederate veterans and their widows. The last legislature passed law increas- ing the pension or worthy Confederate soldiers as follows:
 For first-class pensioners, from $6O to s1oO.
 For second-class pensioners, from $oo to $50.
 For third-class pensioners. from $50 to S64.
 to $50.
 They also changed by law the method of payment from annually to quarterly, and provided that if the amounts appro- priated were insufficient to pay said amounts on the 1st day of July of said fiscal year, which is the last quarter, the amount on hand for the said last quarter shall be divided among all said pension CTS pro rata.
 The amounts appropriated, together with the one-mll tax levied for this purpose, aggregate $760, ,S62.73; of this amount, S69o, 295.95 was paid out for the first three quarters, as shown by statement below, leaving a balance of s7O,566.7S plus re- turned warrants, which amount to $l9,- 7463s. I have accordingly distributed or ITO rated this fund as follows:
 To pensioners of the first class, SIG each, or s13,34O for all.
 To pensioners of the second class, SS each, or s1 ,1SS for all.
 To pensioners of the third class, $6.4O each or $1,08S for all.
 To pensioners of the fourth class, $5 each, or $74,505 for all.
 This leaves small balance 10 tne credit of the fund.
 Notwithstanding the fact the amount Is insufficient to meet the last quarters pay nent in full, each and every pensioner las received more money than ever be- fore The comparison for the two previ- ous years is as follows:
 The Comparisons.
 For the year ended September 30, 1905:

 For the year ending September 30, 1908:
