A WORD TO THE OLD SOLDIERS
OF ALABAMA.

Dear Sir: If its not asking too
much, L would like space in your
most valuable paper to speak word
TO the old soldiers of Alabama.
see that it's claimed by those who
ought to know, that there will be no
pension money in the state treasury
to pay Us our little pension of the
fourth quarter, which is next July.
It's always been short that quarter,
from One-third to one-half Off, but
our last Legislature and our Cover
nor made SO many officers, or new
teats until there is not enough milk
to go round, and of course we old
boys will have to suck our thumb.
While I probably need mine as bad as
any one, if I live to want it, will
try to be content. I had rather do
without it than press the tax payers
to raise it, for while l have been
drawing it l have felt like an impo-
sition upon the tax payers of the
State. l sympathise with the State
in that they bit off more than it can
swallow. The State claims to have
been paying them from fifty to
hundred dollars in proportion to
their several classes, but it has never
pa1u UuL from 1OItJ-LuIG0 W seventy
dollars. Maybe in five years longer
the ranks will be SO thin the State
can pay the full amount.
It grinds me to see and know that
the U. S. soldiers are drawing twenty
dollars per month, many of them
never heard gun fire. | know some
that draw that who never heard a
bullet whistle in the war, nor saw a
bloody soldier and are worth seventy
five thousand dollars, and the poor
tax-ridden people Of the South are
helping pay it, how can the South
feel that she has a fair deal. But
many of our Southern Democrats of
the South want to add more to it,
and make the load heavier. Voters
of the South, remember Champ
Clark.

What would have been the condi-
ton of our Georgia homes at the
mercy of it's natives, had not patriot
ism occupied a place in the souls of
our foreparentS?
Some Of them pegged the roofs on
their cabins, plowed milk COWS and
used the milk at the time; grubbed
their fresh land with small grubbing
hoes, lived at home and boarded at
the same place, trusting in God;
with these and other considerations
we are due to be heirs Of industry
and honesty.
Some Of those emigrants brought
uneducated negroes with them and
we suppose they had plenty to eat
and wear and such medical attention
as was communicable, but they never
voted and it's a great pity that some
white men vote now or hold office,
especially such as bride and sell
votes.

GREAT CHANGES.

Dear Sir: l have been thinking
over the fast age in which we are
living, and the responsibility devolv
ing upon us as neighbors, citizens
and friends, and conclude that all
sane persons are equally accountable
to the laws of God and man for their
misdOings.
Past events impress our minds
with future; when we retrospect the
past and great and wonderful
changes in the past half a century
we can but wonder what will trans
pire within the next, for we can
recall to mind sixty-fve years Or
more, about the beginning Of our
school era in Georgia, sixty days was
a scholastic quarter and tuition
about three to five dollars per scholar
for quarter term, and the patrons
were the board of education and
paymasters.
No officers like now, and negro
schools were about as scarce as hens
teeth, and our country school houses
generally were of round fine logs,
seats halves of same material and
writing pens Of goose quills, and
eight hours IN the DAY was ABOUT In0
length of the session
Now we are confronted with a
corps of officers, baseball, football,
legislation and taxation and what
else in creation, outside of courts
and humbugs, we have not dreamed
of yet.
Years ago emigrants from other
states settled in Georgia, quite a
number of which took advantage of
"ankle excursions" being cheap,
while those better able, came ON
horseback, and in horse and ox-carts
running on tireless wheels. And
since having passed through wars
and other connections in various
ways, some of the descendants of
those emigrants might consider such
caravan in this day of so-called
enlightment, a disgrace to refine
ment, while those of more sober
thought and consideration would
weigh it in the scale of intelligence,
morality, and wisdom for coming
generations, which we might better
enjoy if our political. situation was
