ATTORNEY RULING
To ADD HUGE SUM
To STATE PENSIONS

Several hundred thousand dollars
will be added to Georgia's Confed-
crate pension payments this year If
Governor Hardwick follows an opin-
ion just rendered by Attorney
General Napier as to the meaning
of the pension appropriation act.
The appropriation act of 1921, car
rying appropriations for the years
1922 and 1928, contains the following
language:
For the payment of pensions
which shall be due for each of the
wears 1922 and 1923-$1,250,0 900. The
same to be paid to that class of PEN
sioners drawing a pension prior to
the acts of, 1919, and the amount to
be paid to be the same as paid prior
to all acts prior to 1919"
Governor Hardwick requested At
torney General Napier to advise
whether soldiers and widows eligible
under the laws prior to 1919, but
not registered prior to that year,
are entitled to receive a pension I'M
der the above-quoted language; or
whether the language should be con-
strued to mean that pensions shall
be paid only to those pensioners who
were registered prior to 1919.
Attorney General Napier, in
lengthy opinion, rules that soldiers
and widows eligible to a pension I'M
der the eligibility laws prior to 1919,
whether registered prior to that year
or not, are entitled to receive a pen
sion.
This was not the Interpretation
placed upon the law in 1922 by the
late Colonel John w. Lindsey, then
pension commissioner. He believed
the intent of the legislature was to
, limit the appropriation to pensioners
actually registered prior to 1919, and
paid the money accordingly.
Several thousand soldiers and
widows not registered prior to 1919,
but eligible under the acts prior to
1919, are entitled to receive pensions
under the attorney generals ruling,
it was stated by B. M. Blackburn,
chief clerk to Pension Commissioner
Lindsey.
The pensions now being paid are
at the rate of 500 a year. Thus
if 5000 pensioners not paid in 1922,
under Colonel Lindsey's ruling,
should now be put on the roll, under
Attorney General Napier's ruling,
the added pension cost will be $780,
900 this year. If 5000 are added. the
added cost will be 100000. And so
on.
The amount appropriated by the
legislature is not enough to pay these
added pensions, but they might be
paid from a treasury surplus and
deficiency appropriation made by
the legislature when it meets. Gov
ernor Hardwick, it is believed, Is not
likely to pay out more pensions than
the legislature has appropriated.

New Saws Are Found
In Doomed Mans Cell

MACON, Ga, Feb. 5-Jack Smiley,
negro, condemned to hang for the
murder of A. Lee Aligood, street car
motorman-conduc on the Ocmul-
gee line, on Christmas eve of 1921,
IN whose cell Tailor Tom McCom-
mons found six new hack saws,
stoutly denies that he knew the saws
were in his cell. Investigation on
the part Of jailors showed that
Smiley had already been making usS
of the saws, and had partly severed
several of the iron bars that fasten
him. The sawed parts of the bars
had been covered with bread crumbs
and dust.
Jailors are endeavoring to get
some clue to the persons who snug
gled the saws to the negro, who has
been occupying a separate cell to
himself since his conviction. Had
he been given a few days longer.
there is no doubt but that he would
have liberated himself. Charles
Davis, alias Stewart, and Smiley
were convicted for the murder of
Aligood, and both were sentenced to
hang. London Owens, the third
party in the murder gang, turned
states evidence. He has not been
tried, but will likely be placed on
trial at the next session of the crin1i-
nal division Of the Bib superior

Two Men Under Bond
On Flogging Charge

AIKEN, S. c., Feb. 5.-By the
Associated Press.)-Spencer Davis
and Elton kirkland, of the Horse
Creek Valley section of Aiken coun-
ty, today were free On bond under
charges of assault and battery grow
ing out of the flogging one week ago
of w. w. Moyd, World war veteran.
Davis was arrested at his home late
yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Robin
son, and Kirkland surrendered later
when he learned that a warrant had
been issued for him on an affidavit
sworn to by Moyd.
Moyd, who came to Aiken coun-
ty recently, according to his story,
was invited by Davis and Kirkland
to go riding with them. A short
distance from Warrenville, S. c.,
they were met by group of men
who seized Moyd, whipped him and
ordered him to leave the commu-
nifty. He made his way to Aiken
where he spent a night in the coun-
ty Jail fearing, he claimed, a repeI'
ton of the flogging, and then went
70 Augusta, where he is reported
to be under the care of officials Of
the Ku KluX Khan.

Judge John S. Wilson, in circuit

Giving on the part of the great

as a stimulus in the upbuilding of

at the same time for by-products
that were not anticipated and that

One of these by-products, it is
