ARMY OURT-MARTIAL SYSTEM

Senator George f. Chamberlain of
Oregon had good deal to say in the
last session of the Sixty-fifth congress
in criticism of the war department and
more especially of the alleged injus-
tice of the army court-martial sys-
TEN. The hostilities between Senator
Chamberlain and Secretary Baker have
not ceased with the adjournment of
congress.
In the latest encounter Secretary
Baker sent a telegram to Senator
Chamberlain laying the blame for fail
ure to correct the evil in the court
martial system upon congress. He de-
clared he had proposed a remedy a
year ago, but congress had not acted.
The senator promptly retaliated
with letter in which he declared Mr..
Bakers remedy would have made the
system "even more reactionary, if
possible, than it is now" He charged
that Mr.. Bakers proposed remedy was
not made in good faith. The senator

Veterans Pensions
to be Paid Promptly

ATLANTA, April 23.-All anxiety
over the possibility of delay in pay
ment of Confederate veteran pen
sions has been allayed by the receipt
of more than 100000 in taxes by the
state treasurer during the past day
or two. The reason of the sudden in
flux of funds is the fact that the
county tax collectors who have been
delaying final settlement with the
state treasury, have just sent in their
accounts in order that they might not
be penalized for not getting in their
final settlements by April 20.
The veterans pensions are paid in
two installments. The second in
stallment is due May l and amounts
to about $626,000. There are also
due on that date payments amounting
to $150,000 to the University of Geor-
gia and other state institutions. 1t
had been feared that there might be
some necessary delay in meeting these
payments but the situation has been
.clared up satisfactorily.

SUMTER GIRL
SLEEPS DAYS,
FOLLOWING FLU

The second case of sleeping sick
ness, that mysterious malady which
has followed in the wake of the influ-
enza epidemic in isolated instances,
has been reported in Sumter county.
The victim is Miss Bessie Williams,
living on Route B. not far from
Plains.
She suffered an attack of influenza
three months ago, from which she
had never completely recovered, al
though she had been able to be out.
A week ago she was taken with the
sleeping sickness, losing conscious
ness, and remained in a comatose con-
dition for four days. She was taken
to the Plains hospital, where she re-
gained consciousness Monday.
Her condition is not regarded as Sc
rious, and her speedy recovery is
looked for.
The first case of sleeping sickness
reported in the county was that of a
negro living near Cobb, who was I'M
conscious for five days few weeks
ago.

ties of kerosene having BEEN poured
around the interior of the store were
found by Chief Naylor, but the blaze
was extinguished before it had de-
stroyed more than half of the stock,
which was declared to be limited.
Investigation showed that a hole
had been bored in the front wall be-
side the door through which an arm
could be inserted and through which
it was at first supposed the bar to
the front door had been removed, the
store robbed, and then set afire to
cover up the robbery. Investigation
by Sheriff Harvey and others, how
ever, disclosed that the bored hole in
the wall was not located in such po-
sition that the bar would possibly be
reached, indicating that it had been
bored as "camoufage" by some one
having access to the interior by other
means and who in leaving the building
had done so by the back door, leaving
it unbolted, while the front door was
locked.
No arrests have been made in the
case, but it was indicated that war
