 I would most respectfully ssk you for the following communication. I am Confederate veteran. a member of Camp Falkner, will soon be 16g years old. and am almost physieaily disabled Alabama grants her old veteransya pen sion, but only those who are physical ly disabled can get It. I have never of my old comrades had their appiica- tions turned down. on account of being able to perform manual labor. Thls certainly should not be, as their physi- cal disability is brought on in their old age. through suffering and. severe ex-, posures during four long. years in ser vice. There are good many posi- tions in the city of Montgomery filled fore really are not eitizensl. tnfthe city building. spubhc sch oolse the County court house and the State Capitol bulid-
