VETERANS DISAPPOINTED AT
 CUT IN QUARTERLY PENSIONS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5.,

<-->------~-~-----~>--- suffer and fall below the expectation of these old veterans is keen disappoint- nient and one that should not be permit. ted
 ..sEvery- pensioner in Jefferson county is in sore need of every penny that has been promised him, and the state should see to 1t. that he gets it., even. if some other fund has to suffer- t.
 This shortage In the pension fund does not look good in view of the fact that all the funds in the state treasury have been consolidated, It looks like the old soldiers are being discriminated against and no sort of explanation will convince them otherwise"
 Four Pension Classes
 There are four classes of pensioners. Under the law the four classes. kse awarded the following amounts respec. lively: First class, s25; second class. s2o; third class, s16; fourth class, SIP. 50 per quarter.
 Instead of these amounts the pensioners are receiving for the four classes the col lowing amounts: First class, sl1 25; sec ond class. ss third class, s7.20; fourth class, S .6G
 D. H. Riddle of Goodwater stopped for moment in the courthouse corridor to witness the very manifest disappointment of the pensioners. He saids This is a disgrace on the state of Alabama and something should be done to remedy the matter. These people. expect the amounts that have been promised them, and they should have it. Anyone can see that every pensioner here needs every cent that has been promised.
 If the money for these old veterans Is not in the treasury the warrants should be made out for the full amount and the state should arrange to take care Of them"
 N. A. Graham and T. s. Wade were ap- pointed by Judge Greene as clerks to deliver the warrants to the old soldiers and the widows.
 A steady stream filed past the desk all day yesterday. There are 1884 pension- CTS in Jefferson county and it will prob ably take several days to deliver all the warrants.

| Selma, July 1.-(Special. .)-Congressman
 William B. Craig of the Fourth Congress
 sional district who has just returned
 home from Washington, anticipates a
 great democratic victory in the elections, which will be held this fall.
 In speaking of the democratic outlook, Congressman Craig said: we are going
 to win the next House, and if we do, Ala | bama will be brought to the front in the | councils of the nation. If the next House | is democratic this state will be given
 three committee chairmanships. Repre-
 sentatves Underwood, Clayton and Bur.
 nett will fill three of the most important chairmanships in the entire, House." | When asked why he was so hopeful of
 carrying the next House democratic, Con
 gressman Craig said: The prospects for | victory are brighter than they have been 1 since the war I have talked with men | from number of the doubtful states in the past few days, and they all say they are coming back and bring some demo- | cratic friends with them. I feel sure we will get some new ones from Indiana, | maybe a couple from Kentucky, and sev- eral from Colorado. All the Ohio fellows say they are coming back to the next House. In fact, things all along the line
 looks better for democratic victory than have seen 1t for many years"

MANY CHANGES IN
THE SPECIFIC TAX
TO THE TAX LAW
WHICH ARE NOW ALLIN
EFFECT.

Comptroller General w. A. Wright
Of Atlanta, has just published noiics
calling the attention of all persons
engaged in those classes of business
which subject them to specific tax,
to consult the law and ascertain to
| what extent they are liable.
A number Of important amend
ments and additions were made in
the new general tax act, among the
most important Of which was the in
crease in the tax on near beer, which
IS now $500 on retailers, instead Of
$500 as formerly, and $1,000 on
wholesalers and manufacturers, in
stead OF $500.
There is also tax OF 81 each on
dogs, but this has to be returned to
the tax receiver and paid along with
other taxes in the fall.
Special attention is called to the
increase from 5000 to $500 in the tax
on sewing machine companies, and
to the graduated tax on automobile
dealers and agents, required to be
paid to the tax collector of the county
wherein the machines are sold. Photo
graphers must also pay tax of $40
to the tax collectors in the county
where their business is carried on.
Both domestic and foreign corpor-
ations doing business in the state
must pay graduated tax in accord
ance with the amount of capital en-
ployed, and foreign corporations must
register with the secretary of state
This tax is graduated from S. an a
corporation with $4,000 capital or
under, up to 500 on all corporations
with a capital Of $l,000000 or more.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces. We
will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh)

THE PEACH CROP
WAS NOT INJURED
IS, n. RUMPH OF MARsHALLvILLE
AN AUTHORITY, THINKS 1T
WAS BENEFITED.

Atlanta, Jan. Is. II. Rumph, OF
harshallYille, pioneer in the peach
raising industry CT Georgia, has mott
ned Manager J. NJ. Fleming, of the
Georgia Fruit Exchange, that so far
ax he has been able to ascertain in
Bis section of the state, no damage
mas been done to the peach crop on
account of the recent cold spell. A.
matter of fact, he states that this
bit of blizzard had the opposite eff
fect in as much as it checked any
premature budding and blooming OF
the peach trees which would subject
them to freezes and frosts later IN
the spring, always to be feared.
Mr.. Rumph is located in the heart
of the peach belt of the state and ia
in position to- judge accurately any
damage which might befall the peach
crop of that section.
While the weather was quite cold
at Marshallyille, Fort Valley and
other shipping centers, it did not get
cold enough to hurt the forming fruit.
"As a matter Of fact" writes Mr..
Rumph, the orchards in this neigh
borhood could stand temperature of
3 degrees above zero without the
forming fruit being hurt by the freeze.
Further mp the state the trees are
creating later, and would be able to
stand even colder weather than this.
This cold snap viii have tendency
to hold in check tie peach trees and
keep them from bloomin: or budding
ahead of season"
