PENSION ROLL IS
DECREASED BY 569
State Saves Almost $4,000
By Dropping of
Names

Montgomery, January 3.-tSpecial.)
Nearly $4,000 more was paid out to
pensioners in January, 1913, than was
paid at the beginning of this year,
as a result OF a decrease in the pen
sion rolls of $50 members, whose names
were stricken from the rolls several
weeks ago by order of the state board
of pension examiners. The total amount
paid to pensioners in January, 1913. for
the second quarter, according to a
statement obtained at the auditors Of
flee was s306.955 The amount OF the
pension warrants at this quarter ag-
gregated $297,95S, showing a decrease
of s9597.
The statement prepared by the aud
itors office shows that for the second
quarter in 1913 the following composed
the pension rolls: First class. 1911 pen
sioners: second class 4246i third class,
1885; total, 17,442
For the second quarter of the present
year the pensioners were as follows:
First class. l1s2; second class. Ass;
third class. 11,5o3; total 16,S7S
Altogether there VIII be an annual
saving to the state of nearly $4,000
as the result of dropping $50 names
from the rolls and the number already
stricken from the rolls will probably
be quadrupled before the pension ex-
amners finish their present investiga-
tion.

NEW COURT WILL
NOT BROOK DRINK

Atlanta, January S-(SpecialD
When Atlanta's new municipal court
went into business with the beginning
of the new year the very first thing
IL did was to issue an order directed
to its bailiffs and constables, notifying
them that the use of liquor by thefn
whether while on or off duty, would
not be tolerated.
The court made it's intentions In this
matter as impressive as possible, In
dicating that the first offense would
be met by summary dismissal from the
service.
This course was decided upon net
alone with the idea of maintaining tho
dignity of the court, but to avoid ann
trouble on the part of those agains
whom processes from the court may bs
directed, and which the baillffs are re
ouired to serve. Complaints have been]
frequent against Justice court bailiffsl
alleged to be under the influence oil

ed maner toward defendants upor|
whom they had to serve court prof.
cesses or upon whose property a levlI

Another thing the court proposes te
do is to get away from the idea o
running II for revenue. Naturally tina
is the policy of the average justic
court, as that is the source of the Jus
tices income. The judges and all OF
fictals OF this court, however, will be
paid stated salaries, no matter wha
the court earns.

Do not make the error of regarding
grip as an exaggerated cold. There
is big difference between the two.
Grip is an epidemic disease that poi
sons the vital organs. When a per-
son has grip, the air passages are
alive with millions of bacilli poison
ing the blood. The infected person
feels tired and exhausted. .
1t requires good tonic laxative to

Notwithstanding various reports spread
by certain Hobson followers to the Ell
feet that the congressman from the Sixth
district is gaining strength in all parts
of the state, it is believed that develop
ments of the past few weeks have served
to react against that candidate and that
he is really losing ground. This is 5e-
lieved to be largely due to the futile at
tempt on the part of Captain Hobson
and certain of his supporters to inject
false issues into Mr.. Underwood's cam
paign
Friends of Captain Hobson have shown
keen resentment of this method of cam
paigning for senatorial office. Mr.. I'm
derwood's record is known to be unas-
sailable, hence the effort on the part Of
the Hobsontes to align him with the
liquor interests and Wall street interests
has been received with little favor by
those who believe in fair play.
AS a consequence. Captain Hobsons 8
strength has dwindled considerably dur
ing the past two months. His methods
and those of his friends are considered
bunglesome by even many of his support
ers, and there is not a doubt that he has
lost favor with many people by his en-
roneous statements with reference to Mr..
Underwood.

in keeping with the dignifted and fair
