wages several times on account Of
the cost OF living. Our general as
Sembly has asked for and got
larger appropriation for the Soldiers
Home upon the ground that the cost
of feeding the old veterans is so
high it takes much larger appropria-
ton to do it; all of which are cold
facts.
Now in short words, if we then
needed sixty dollars for a support in
1904, and hard living. Then kill
forty per cent. Of it's purchasing
power and the old veterans nearly
twenty years older, what kind Of
picnic is he having? Now it was
wrong to allow us sixty dollars then,
or it is not doing us right to fail to
keep it up equal to what the sixty
would buy then. The General AS
sembly passed another pension act
about two Or three years ago, letting
in all old veterans who didn't own
over fifteen hundred dollars. We.
the INDECENT don't object to that, but
wish to show that an INDECENT should
and ought to have been looked after.
il the state was able and his pension
raised to it's original purchasing
power before letting in those who
nave fifteen hundred dollars worth
of property.
1t will take eighty dollars or more
now to buy what sixty did when the
sixty was first issued.
Candidates, in your respective
counties, don't throw this down.
Please give it your support. Promise
us to bring it up and get a raise for
us. We need it and have given YOU
q plausible reason.
We are asking this raise for inai-
gents as we belong to that class.
Help us along. It won't be long
that we will bother you.

Pension Legislation.

While the State has done much
for her old veterans, for which
every veteran worthy of the name is
more than thankful, there have
been some very grave mistakes
made, Or a whole lot of unthought-
edness that when attention is called
to 1t, It seems to be a plain fact
worthy Of thought. Let's take for
instance, as there are several pen
SION acts. the INDECENT and widows
ac<, passed about 1904, giving the
INDECENT and widows sixty dollars,
as the act said, while it was but
nfty-nine dollars, because the act
gave the Ordinary one dollar off of
the sixty. SO Of course the veterans
only get fifty-nine.
That is the fact, yet it is said the
State gives sixty and in some coan-
ties they do. The Ordinary in MANY
counties won't take it. Ordinary
Milkerson Of Fulton county never
takes q cent and the banks never
charge cent to cash a veterans
check and we are very thankful for
both faV0rs. But now we get to the
polnt: At the time We first received
the sixty dollars to maintain US,
what was the purchasing power of
dollar then in provisions compared
to the purchasing power today?
LOOK over any old groceryman's
books and you will see. In many in

VentiOn, a reunion or an exposition
To make these appeal to the gen
eral public, some sentiment must be
attached to the object in whose
"honor" the convention, reunion or
exposition is to be given.
In 1876 the first exposition was
given, to commemorate the centen-
airy of American freedom and indie
pendence. Some of US were not in
terested in expositions at that time
and our knowledge is based on
heresay and family tradition. Judg-

closer industrial touch with other
nations than ever before, and it is

was really of benefit and value TO u.s.

expended large sums of money in the

the expected crowds, referred to

AS a people, it would seem we
learned no lesson as to the futilfty
of trying to commemorative senti-
ment, and We have had several ex-
positions to commemorate other his
torical epochs, each more elaborate
than the other, and each bankrupt
ing the community in which it was
held, though few individuals in
each instance may have prOfted.
These that have been referred to
have been held in the Northern and
Western sections OF the country,
where money is plentiful and sen,Y-

badges, buttons, postcards, booklets
and anything else that may bear an
imprint Of q person or episode con-
nected with the affair being COM
