Mr.. Cannon, in his letter, had this TO

In the first session of the Sixticth

The speaker had no power to compel
that committee to report that or any

NO MONEY FOR The OLD VETS NOW
The State Is Busted" and Cannot Pay Them Their Pen
sions in Time for Christmas. Never Before Happened.

No better evidence is needed of
the bad financial management of the
state than the fact that the old vet
Grams cannot be paid their fourth
quarterly pensions.
1t is not likely that the pensioners
will receive their last quarterly al
lowance, due to be paid on December
10th, until after Christmas, on ac-
count of the lack of sufficient funds
in the state treasury.
Ordinary Cheatham is in receipt
of the following explanatory letter:
Judge w. B. Cheatham, Ordinary
Terrell County.-My Dear Judge:
This department is all checked up
and ready to pay the fourth quarter
pensions, but | am advised that the
state has not the money to make the
payment.
Say to the pensioners as they call
not to be alarmed; that payment will
be made at the earliest day possible,
when the funds are available.
