FLORIDA CONFEDERATE
PENSION LIST LEADS
Other States of South in it's
Per Capita Payments.

"A ulSpdGCH llOnl laIIafldSSce laSL
Sunday was to the effect that an in
vestlgation into the records Of the
Pension department at the State
House has resulted in some interest
ing revelations. There were scme
IS less names Of widows and soldiers
on the pension rolls of Florida On
January 1st, 1917, than there were on
January 1st, 1916. There is now >
354 old soldiers of the ConfedeIacy
on the rolls and 2,695 widows of SOL
diers. Seven of the old soldiers re-
ceive pensions under special acts Of
the Legislature and one widow; the
others are all helped by the State un-
der the general pension laws Of
f'o ida.
Florida has the most liberal laws Of
any of the Southern States in regard
to the amounts paid old soldiers and
their widows. For information Of
those who might be interested, the
Board of Pensions, which is composed
Of the governor, State controller,
State treasurer, and secretary Of
State, secured data on Feb. goth, last,
from al those States which formed
the Confederacy, and made a compar-
ative table showing the main provis-
ions of the laws providing for pen
storing Confederate soldiers and Their
widows. This table is on file il the
Capitol. Alabama pays one mill, Ar
kansas two, Louisiana one, while
Georgia and Mississippi make gencr- /
al appropriations each year for pen
sion purposes which do not amount
to as much in proportion to the mum

The disbursements for pension IN
Florida, however, were more during

That first season we put in ten acre:
Of corn, and sOwed the other ten acres
to oats, which we cut while they werc
in the dough for hay, replanting agar
with cowpeas and cane. This made
two big feed crops from the same
ground that season.
When grass began to come, we
bought SIX more cows, paying forty
! collars each for them, and selecting
them on strictly dairy points. We
also bought several settings of thor
oughbred Orphington eggs, which |
set under my scrub hens, eating the
latter as soon as the young thorough
bred pullets were old enough to sup
ply Us with eggs. We also purchased
a thoroughbred Poland China male
pig, for which we paid twenty dollars.
and twenty-five head Of hogs, mot
ley assortment all ages and kinds,
s1nong which were six sows. We got
these for two dollars a head. from i
man who was going to Texas. This
was the best purchase we made. We
sold Sl25 worth of meat from TIE herd
the next fall, and had twice as many
left, counting the increase, as when
We bought them
This is our fourth year at Our
Ridge. They have been by far the
hardest four years from a manual la
nor standpoint that we have ever put
in, but they have been profitable ones,
and every little minute has been filled
with an all consuming interest.
We have ten fine dairy COWS now in
our heed, and thirty acres under fence.
\ ten-acre Bermuda grass pasture,
ten acres Of corn land, and ten acres
on which to grow rough feed. During
the past year our cows have netted
us ten dollars a week. We Also sold
5000 worth of hogs. and six three
year old steers. that brought $50. |
Our chickens have netted us approx |
mately $100
We are looking forward to our first
real livestock investment this fall. We .
are now turning off some seven head /
Of caNeS every year from our dairy
herd, and have thirteen now on the
rsnge, seven yearlings and six past !
two. We are going to buy thirty |
head Of calves, being able to get |
them at about ten dollars a head, and |
keep them until they are three years
old. and full weight steers.
If luck does not fail us, we will have
enough surplus money each year for

RAILWAY COMPANY GERMANY DOES NOT
SUED FOR $4,000 WANT WARW|THU.S,
1FOR LOSS OF TWO FEET SAYS IMPERIAL OFFICIAL
Chancellor Declares if War Should
Come, Germany Would Not Have
to Bear Blame.

Washington, March 30.-Only the
cessation of Germany's ruthless cam
paign of death and destruction
against American shipping can alter
the course which President Wilson
and his advisers have laid down for
the United States. This was the de-
termination of the administration
last night, following the receipt in
Washington Of Chancellor Won Beth
mann -Hollweg's discussion of the
German-American crisis before the
German Reichstag.
The German chancellor, while he
declared that Germany never desired
and does not now desire war with the
| United States, made no announce
ment as to any change in Germany's
campaign of devastation at sea. His
statement that If the United States
considers the submarine campaign a
cause for declaration of war, Ger
many will mot have to bear the
burden of esponsibility for it." and
that the German nation "shall also
bear and overcome this" was accept
ed in Washington as voicing Ger
many's determination to maintain the
war against American shipping, in
the face of the obvious preparations
Of the United States for impend-
+ ing war.
Neither the White House or the
State Department would discuss last
night the unofficial reports of the
chancellor's speech. Secretary Lam
sing said that he would await the
official statement of the chancellor be-
fore commenting. Before the reports
were received however, the State De-
partment chief made it clear that
nothing but complete change of the
German submarine campaign could
alter or amend in any way the policy
which the president has determined
to follow. He said that no sugges-
tion of negotiations for peace, nor
proposals for compromise, could be
considered until unrestricted sub
marine warfare is stopped
Diplomatic Washington looked upon
nn-Hollweg's speech as Ger
many's last word before congress
meets next week to make clear and
unmistakable the position of the peo-
pie of the United States.
The chancellor's speech reached
Washington as the climax of series
Of reports and rumors of possible
peace negotiations.

KIRBY SAYS WAR
IS NOW INEVITABLE

Little Rock, March 30.-Senator w.
F. Kirby was in the city yesterday
returning from Texarkana, where he
had been called by the illness of his
aged father and mother. He will
leave tomorrow for Washington, to be
present when congress convenes in
extra session next Monday. In dis
cussing international affairs he said: !:
"The situation is desperate. The
purpose of calling the extra session
is to declare war. 1t is inevitable.
Within a few months we will have
compulsory military training between
the ages of Is and as, and there will
be a million and a half men in the
mobilization camps. We don't want
this war, and | have done all | could
to keep the country out of it. But if
it must come, believe in preparing
to make the most of it, and that as
speedily as possible. It's bigger job
than some of the men who have been
clamoring for war seem to appreciate.
1t will cost untold amounts of men
and treasure. 1t will be a war brought
about by the British propagandists
and Wall Street, and l repeat that we
don't want it, and lot of folks that
are disposed to criticise now, will
agree with me six months from now."

TO ASK ARKANSAS
FOR $4,000 men

Little Rock, March 30.-The pros
poets that Arkansas will soon be call
ed upon to furnish its quota of large
army in the event of war with Ger
many is giving an impetus to the or
ganization of the national guard. Well
informed persons say that $4,000 will
be about the number of men Arkansas
may be called upon to furnish, and
the two present meager regiments
would make hardly beginning.
Applications are being made for the
organization of companies in many
places in the state. Among the ap-
plications received yesterday were
Capt. st. Clair of Hot Springs, George
0. Patterson of Clarksville, R. L.
Hutchins of Augusta, Helena, and
Wynne. Other points where compa-
nies are being raised are England
Malvern and Conway.
Not only are recruiting agents
working for more soldiers in the Unit
ed States, but the navy is endeavoring
to secure about 25,000 more men, and
Arkansas is being asked to supply its
quota.

Henry Fenton of Republican Brings
Action Against Railway for
Accident Year Ago.

Henry Fenton of Republican, who
suffered the loss of both feet on April
18 last when he fell underneath a
train about SO yards north of the
North street railway crossing at Con-
way, has filed suit against the Iron
Mountain railway company for $780,
600 damages, according to word re-
ceived here today. The suit was filed
in Pulaski circuit court, through Fen
toms attorney, Frank Pace of Little
Rock.
According to the complaint, it is
stated, Fenton claims he was walking
beside the company's tracks and that
wire hanging from a side door of
car struck him, throwing him un-
derneath the car wheels. Both feet
were severed about six inches above
/ the ankles. The train was running
about 20 miles an hour.
The railway company will charge
that Fenton had gone upon the right
ofway to hop upon the train, and
that he had done this several times
before, it is said.
The accident occurred at about 80
p. m. The train, No. 168, was in
charge of Conductor Black.
Fenton, at the time of the accident,
was proprietor of restaurant at 81
North Front street, having purchased
| it about a month before He had
been married about year. He is a
son of J. P. Fenton of Republican.
