PENSIONS LACK 1870

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 10.-Advocates
of ar extra session of the legislature
for action on bone dry liquor bills feel
highly encouraged over the fact which
has just come to light that the appro-
priation to pay pensions lacks $751;
OF being enough to pay the pensions
for 1917.
The state cannot borrow the mo-
ney to pay the pensions on the date
when they are regularly paid, which
means that the old veterans must wait
until the legislature meets in regular
session and makes a deficiency ap-
preparation to cover the shortage
unless Governor Harris should cali
an extra session for the double pur-
pose of taking care of the veterans
and of action on bone dry liquor bills.
The fact that Governor Harris, who
is himself a Confederate veteran,
who was elected on platform declar-
ing iii favor of increased pensions and
who has always taken the keenest Of
fetal interest in the welfare of his
comrades, is now very much perturb-
ed on their account has encouraged
the advocates of an extra session 70
