A WORD ABOUT PENSIONS

Evinston. Fla Oct. t, 1912.
To. DR.. S. H. Bitch:
l notice in a recent issue of the
Ocala Banner that yo uare in favor
of increasing pensions for the old ex-
Confederate soldiers. This has the
right ring, and meets my hearty ap-
prevail But let us first abolish the
present abominable pension law,
which is a disgrace to the state OF
Florida If one is entitled to a pen
sion, so are all Nothing but deser-
ton from the Confederate army
should deprive any of them from get
ting a pension.
While l am deprived of a pension,
no one in this state is more willing
to be taxed than l am in order that
the state may be able to provide a
pension to help ease the old Confed-
crate soldier gently down to his last
resting place
The youngest of them in 1861 are
now getting old. The large majority
of them have crossed over the river,
and in the dying words of the immor-
tai Stonewall Jackson, are resting
under the shade Of the trees" The
few remaining will soon receive
marching orders to join their COM
rades on thta beautiful parade ground
beyond the stars.
l entered the Confederate army
from Marion county early in 1861, be-
fore l was sixteen years old. in what
was known as the Marion Dragons,
commanded by that gallant officer
and knightly gentleman, General Will
liam A. Owens. | believe | did my
whole duty to the end of the war.
lost four years OF my best school
days. All that | possessed of this
worlds goods at the end of the war
was one faded Confederate uniform.
BY hard work and economy, l have
got little ahead in this worlds
goods. The great state of Florida
says to me; Stand aside, We have
nothing for you; not even crumb
that falls from the table of those we
have seated around the pension
board Equal rights and justice to
all. Yours truly,
w. P. SHETTLEWORTH.
