Helen caught him jotting down some

For the entire week Mr.. Belden al

When Saturday evening came he asked
her whether she did fancy work on

said she didn't.

Belden's big department store. He's
agreed to take me in as junior part

PENSIONS NOW DELAYED
TILL LAWYERS ARE PAID

ATLANTA, May 30.-Because of
the necessity of paying certain fees
to attorneys before the oil inspection
money due the state is turned over
to the state treasurer, payment Of
the balance of the Cosfederate PEN
sions will be delayed until after
June /, it is announced.
When the oil companies attacked
the state oil inspection law, the case
was thrown into court and was car
ried to the supreme court of the
United States, finally being decided
in favor of the state.
The attorneys asked that their fees
be determined and paid before the
money was turned into the state
treasury, because once in the treas
ury, it would take an act of the leg
islature to get it out.
Governor Hardwick is expected to
fix the fees Tuesday.
After an agreement is reached as
to the fees, Judge Samuel H. Sibley,
of the United States court, is expect
ed to sign an order for distribution
of the money, which can then be
turned into the treasury and used to
meet the Confederate pensions. II
the pensions are paid about June 1
it will be the earliest they have been
met in several years.
