Money For Pensioners
Is Nov Available
Of Pensions explains Why some
cannot Be paid.

Money to pay the regular pensions
Of the State in Lee County has beer,
received. Commissioners J. w Lin
sey, who is in charge Of the State
pedsidns in Atlanta, has issued a
statement to the. ordinances Of the
state relative tosthe latest pensioners
on the list, who cannot be paid at
once but who will be paid later.
Judge G. H. Collier, ordidarS Of Lee
County, Has furnished to The Jour
ma the following explanatory letter
from Commissioner Lindsey:
Dear Judge:
In checking up the Pension
Rolls for 1914, has been develop
ed that the appropriation made for
The year 1914 is insufficient to pay
those pensioners heretofore paid,
now in life, and the new ones added
for 1914, all at the same time there
fore, after taking the matter under
advisement with The Governor it
was determined that those pensionef
heretofore paid, that are now in life,
should be paid first out Of tie fund
in hand, and those new ones ap.
proved and added to the rolls for
1914 must be omitted from the pay
rolls Tor the present, and held over
until the General Assembly. to con-
vene in June next, can make the
necessary appropriation to pay
them The only other recourse
would be to pro-rate all pensions,
and for this there is no law, and
would do injustice to the most needy
on the rolls. Therefore, say to all
the new ones residing in your coun-
ty, t. be patient and abide the time
when the appropriation car be
made and the. money! in hand to pay
them for their pensions for 1914 will
surely be paid, they can rely up
on the honor of the State as a sure
guarantee for this payment, and
that it will be done Just as soon as
the appropriation can be made and
the money is in hand to pay.
With best wishes for all, am
Your friend.
). W. Lindsey.
Commissioner Of Pensions.

The friends Of local taxation in
Lee County are numerous and they
express confidence that HE meas
ure will be adopted rext week
Every argument is in favpf Of local
taxation and better schodl4, as it is
shown that the tax to.be hRied will
.be very small, ranging between one
half and one mill. ,
IT is hoped to raise bF the means
approximately $4,000 per year.,
which will be divided among the
schools Of the county in exactly the
same manner as W state school

A Card From Nj. NeHsOnl.


To The Voters Of Lee County
It has recently been brought to
my knowledge that certain parties
are circulating the report that my
candidacy means that / advocate
cutting off the southern portion 0
Lee county and have it annexed to
Dougherty county. The report is
absolutely false. Such ioea has
never occurred to me. Wien this
issue was first sprung sometime last
year | bitterly opposed cutting off
ANY portion Of Lee and having it
annexed to Dougherty. Messrs A.
j. Fleetwood and j. J. Littleiohn
sapproaeled me with the petition for
this purpose, and underworld to get
me to sign it as being in favor Of
of the annextion Of this portion of
Lee to Dougherty / refused 10 sign
Che petition, and on the contrary l
did what I could to diacourage such
step. / had some others, besides
myself, to appear before the next
succeeding Grand Jury, as property
owners. and oppose this effort to cut
up Lee.
1 have been on several of the
Grand Juries Of this county, and I
will leave it with any IMPARTIAL
judge, that my conduct on these
juries has always been to serve the
best interest Of the county as | cav
Fit. My candidacy for County Conf
