PENSION PAYMENTS BEGINS
TERRELL WILL BE AMONG FIRST
COUNTIES THAT ARE PAID.
The First Shall Be Last and the Last
Shall Be First, Under the Plan
Adnnfed NV Gnvernnr Brown.

Inc First snail lie Last anu tIlS Last
Shall Be First, Under the Plan
Adopted by Governor Brown.
That old Biblical assertion that
''the last shall be first and the first
shall be first" will, to a certain ex-
tent, be followed by Governor Brown
this year in the payment of pensions
to confederate veterans and their
widows.
Those counties which received
their pension money last in 1912 will
be first on the 1913 list.
With some 100000 in the state
treasury Governor Brown decided
Saturday to pay pensioners as far
as that amount would go, leaving the
balance to wait two or three weeks
until the necessary $51S,000 is
ready.
Last winter Acting Governor Jack
Slaton took this course. With about
half million dollars on hand he
decided to pay out that much at the
time. The names of all the counties
were placed in a hat, and with the
governor, Pension Commissioner
Lindsey and others present counties
were drawn out until the amount
was absorbed. In all "a counties
were paid then.
Governor Brown decided, there
fore, to pay the counties left out of
this lottery plan last year, and Com
missioner Lindsey checked off the
list prior to submission of the re-
quest for the warrant.
The amount was sufficient to pay
the counties not receiving pay early
last year.
Terrell county, which was among
the last to be paid year ago, gets
in early this time, and will be among
the first to receive it's share of the
pension money, which is $4,000.
Governor Brown will draw his
warrant on the treasury at once,
and Ordinary Cheatham expects to
receive the money the latter part OF
this or the first of next week.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, April 10.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of 6
to points. Liverpool contributed some
strength to the situation by showing
an advance in their spots with in
creased sales. Early advices from
Memphis were more gloomy than have
vet emanated from that point. and in
addition to this Little Rock came for
ward with rain news that was little
short of a deluge. This was too much
for the big Wall street shorts to swal
low in one dose. and in the first half
hours trading a well known local firm
bought $4,000 October, supposedly for
the Baruch crowd, after which the mar
ket settled down few points and
took on a more quiet attitude. There
was more of the selling of May against
purchases of July, which should prove a
profitable switch in the end, as July
should in the natural course of things
be 10 points over May. There has been
50 much hand to mouth buying in view
of coming uncertainties, such as tariff,
that the trade has come to expect near
months to hold their premium as did
January and March, but We are getting
TOO close to the end of the old crop
delivery for such conditions to exist.
