SELMA CAMP TO Be
|. GIVEN BATTLEFLAGS
Emblems of Union Regi-
ments Captured in War to
Be Presented Camp

Selma. December 11-9Special.) 1.-Two
old, faded and torn battle flags of Union
regiments captured by General William
Hardee's corps during the civil war; VIII
be presented to the members of Camp
Catsby C. Jones by Commander d. M.
Scott acting for ]. r. Satterfield at the
regular meeting of the members of the
camp Friday night. The flags will be
accepted by the members of the camp
and steps will be Immediately taken to
restore them to the proper persons who
were connected with the regiments at the
time they were captured by Hardee' s
corps
For quite q number of years past the
flags which were the property of Mrs.
T. B. Roy and Mrs. chambiss have been
in the office of Mr.. Satterfield here in
Selma. Recently Mr.. Satterfield entered
correspondence with Mrs. Roy and Mrs.
Chambliss. who are now living in Europe,
with a view of getting their consent to
present them to Camp Jones.
Mrs Roy and Mrs. Chambliss were
daughters of General Hardee and were
for a number of years residents of Selma
with their father whose remains were
buried in Live Oak cemetery. The re-
turning of the flags to their rightful own
ers will involve considerable correspond
ence between the camp and the United
States war department, for only through
the agency of the war department will
the members of the camp be able to
determine who the old flags should be
returned.

CAN WALSH, S0X
STAR, COME BACK?
Question Foremost in Minds
of Winter League Fans
in Windy City

| Chicago. December 11-Whether or
not big Ed" Walsh the pride of the
Southside for these many seasons, will
be able to come back" next spring is
a subject that is furnishing consider
able fuel for those who gather around
| the hot stove in the headquarters of
the winter league in Chicago these
dreary December afternoons, says
James Clarkson.
| There are many who argue that Ed
Walsh next season will be as good as
| or better than he ever was. Then, Of
course, we have heard many argii-
tments to the effect that the Big Moose,
/ a man of whom the entire baseball
world should feel proud, is through.
/ Regarding all the chatter concerning
| Walsh, there is but one individual who
is Iii position to say whether or not
Ed Walsh will be of any service to the
| White SoN next season. That individual
is none other than Walsh himself
| Walsh believes that he will cut the
same capers in the American leaguc
| during the 1914 season that he cut for
many years before. But Walsh realizes
that he's got to do a lot of work
| conditioning himself and in that re-
spect he made a farewell request Of
Manager Callahan before he departed
| for his home in Connecticut.
Eds request was simple and it will
| be complied with to the letter. Int
mediately following the city series
| Walsh, in the presence of the writer,
| Informed Callahan that he wanted to
go to the Sox training camp in Cal
| ifornia at least two weeks in advance
of the other Sox players next spring.
| Il want to go down there and start
right in and do the real hard work.
the kind of which l am capable OF
doing" Walsh told Callahan. 1t did
not take Callahan long to instruct Sec
retary Harry Grabiner to furnish
| Walsh transportation to the coast the
moment he makes request for same
next spring.
| And Walsh realized during the clos.
| ing days of the American league sea-
son that he probably didn't do enough
training when the club was in Calf
| fornia. Had he been in the prime of
| condition when he took his first turn
on the slab last spring when the
American league opened the chances
are that he would not have had SO
much trouble with that mighty right
| arm.

cumstances. The law now in force fixes
the needy condition at the ownership of
less than $1,000
1.-THE authorities above cited show that
the state having granted pension to a
man. or class of men, may withdraw
or recall 1t in such manner as it may
deem best. BY section 80 of the act of
1911, above quoted, it is provided that
fit shall be aseertained that any PEN
sioner obtained his pension by misrep-
resentation. he shall be stricken from the
roll. 1t does not in terms designate the
state board of pension examiners as the
agency by which the misrepresentation
shall be determined, but as it is the only
body or agency named in the law which
has authority to admit applicants to the
pension roll, 1T follows that it is the only
lawful agency by which the provisions
of section 30 of the said act of 1011 can
be carried into effect. Otherwise that
section would be a dead letter and the
state powerless to detect and punish the
men who fraudulently gain enrolment.

$40 Dropped From Rolls

Thus advised as to its lawfulness.
your excellency inaugurated the inves-
tigation of the pension roll, and this
board aided by II. Y. Brooke, Esq, one
of the examiners of public accounts, has
carried it on until 16 counties of the
state have been disposed Of In these
16 counties there were at the begin
ming of our session 34S4 pensioners of
all classes, and on the entire roll, in
cluding these counties, there were H.
442 A little less than Qne-fifth of all the
pensioners were in these 6 counties. As
stated above, and more particularly in
the supplement to this report, 579 of
the 34S4 were stricken from the roll. If
in our future Investigations the same
proportion of pensioners are found to
be ineligible, the roll will be reduced
by 1886 pensioners.
"The 579 pensioners who have been
! stricken from the roll have been receiv-
ing from the fund the aggregate sum
of $4,000, and in the event that 1886
are dropped as the result of our fur
ther Investigations, the sum of 1901, 800
will be saved.
'The cost of this investigation up to
this time is less than " per centum of
the sum Of money herein shown to be
saved to the fund. and not a dollar of
the pension fund has been used in this
conservation of It,"
