questions under the two acts and
you will be surprised to find out that
the last act, which is called service
pension, has put up the bars higher
and built them stronger than they
were under the old INDECENT pension
act.
Hon. J. E. Overstreet, an old SOL

facts last Saturday and [ thought it
might be a good thing to pass them
on to you.
He filed 48 pension applications

applications were approved and by
the arbitrary action of that Office 35
old soldiers from Screven county
alone-old, poor and helpless-are
slapped in the face, kicked out into

redress. And when Mr.. Overstreet

he can not reconsider their papers
and put them on the pension roll for

pose.
Now, Mr.. Watson, what right
legal right-has Mr.. Lindsay or Mr..
Anybody else to keep deserving old
soldiers off the pension list because
this Hoke Smith legislature did not
make sufficient appropriations to pay
them off? Could you find out how
many Fulton county soldiers are on
the pension roll? Could you ascer-

from Fulton county gets on the pen
sion roll and compare them with the
applications of other counties farther

Dear Mr.. Watson: I note your sug-
gestiOn for the people to hold mass

very materially, is the report that

made to change the constitution on
the part of congress. Just what these
changes or amendments are could not
be learned, but it is known that ore

AN AERIAL TORPEDO DESIGNED

Berling, May 2.-The new aerial
torpedo, on which the Krupp firm has
taken out American patents, is de-
signed primarily for carrying on the
long discussed war in the air." It's
principal feature is the absence of re.
coil, which has been the chief OBJ
stacle to the installation of regular
guns or artillery on a delicately bal
anced aeroplane or balloon. The new
weapon is self-propelling and can be
fired from dirigible or aeroplane
against a hostile balloon without dis.
turbing the stability of the machine
from which it is projected. Expert.
ments have been carried on since
November, 1909. Ranges of 5000 yards
with torpedo carrying a 6-pound
load of explosives were attained in
