VETERANS WILL ASK
GA. SOL.ONS FOR Cash
Capt. Joe Day Stewart Makes
; Public Lette. Written to
Governor-Elect

Georgia Confederate Veterans
who have been made to wait year
after year for their pensions be-
cause Of the inability of the state
treasury to meet these payments,
will carry their case direct to
Governor Clifford Walker. They
have, in fact, already addressed a
letter to the governor-elect, asking
that he include some reference to
their needs in his inaugural adj
dress.
This letter is signed by Major
General A. ]. TWiggs and was sent
from Augusta to Governor-elect
Walker at his home in Monroe.
Copies have been received in
Americus, and one of these was
furnished The Times-Recorder by
Capt. Joe Day Stewart, one of the
most active members of Camp
Sumter. No. 642. The letter, prop
erly addressed, reads as follows;
GAS Commander of the Georgia
Division United Confederate Vet
Grams, | am taking the liberty of
writing you this letter, requesting
that in your Inaugural Address
you will not forget the old Con-
federates.
They are rapidly passing away
and what few we have left seems
to be of very little concern. | hope
the Legislature will pass favor
able pension bill, and provide some
means to pay off these old men.
AS you know they are always
the last consideration. Every debt
that the State of Georgia con-
tracts, or owes is paid except Pen
sions to Confederate Soldiers. If
there is anything lacking or to be
put off they are the first to feel
it and are those who need it most.
The great majority of them have
very little else in this world and
always look forward to getting
their pensions.
There are several matters in
this connection that our commit
zee, composed of the Division
Commander, and four Brigade
Commanders hope to meet you in
Atlanta EARLY in July, as soon af-
ter you get settled down in your
office as will be convenient.
Il hope you will give this mat
teer your earnest and fayorable
consideration"

SEIZURE OF LIQUOR,
HALTED. STARTS AGAIN

NEW YORK, June 23- (By As
sociated Press Uncle Sam after
starting to seize Johnny Bulls IL
quor on the steamship Baltic today
halted, scratched his. head, and later
resumed his raid on the steamships
lockers stocked with liquor under
the British government seal intend
ed for use on the homeward trip.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
who promulgated the dry ruling
which the Baltic, the Berengaria and
the Paris have defied, joined the
officials at Washington protesting
ignorance of the reason for the
pause and the officials at the cus-
toms house, locked in conference,
could not be reached.
At the offices Of the White Star
Line it was stated that no injunction
proceedings had been instituted.
Collector Elting finally explained
the mixup by saying the seizure OF
the Baltic's liquor was temporarily
halted because it was discovered
that DR.. Sprague, chief Of the Unit
ed States Public Health Service,
had not certified the amount of IL
amor 8to be left for medicinal use.
As soon as the certificate was IS
sued Elting ordered the seizure 70
proceed. -,
the Baltic was begun before
o'clock. Only few cases had been
removed, however, when the removal
was stopped upon telephone instrue-
tions from DR.. Sprague.
Customs and prohibition otticers
said that they would await the ar
rival of DR.. Sprague before doing
anything else.

MOSQUITO BREEDERS
TO FACE RECORDER
City Authorities Adopt Drastic
Method to Compel Residents
to Prevent Malaria

Mosquito farms in Americus
cease operations. The day of warn
ing has passed, and hereafter the
health authorities will use drastic
means to enforce cooperation in
the campaign against malaria.
DR.. j. w. Chambliss, city health
officer, today issued instructions
to Special Officer j. C. Arlington
to bring to his office samples of
stagnant water found all Premises
inspected and these samples are to
be used in evidence against those
who will be summoned before Re
corder Fort. Wherever these sam
pies show wiggle-tails present,
cases be made against household
ers where they are found.
In deciding upon this plan of
action, DR.. Chambliss today asked
The Times-Recorder to give pub
licity to a last word of warning to
the public. In this warning, he
says:
After making a house to house
canvass twice inspecting in the city
of Americus and after answering
nearly a hundred complaints oven
the city, and after seeing weekly
notices in the Times-Recorder of
clean up your premises to prevent
mosquito breeding, we feel that ii
is an injustice to allow the few to
continue breeding mosquitoes on
their premises as it not only en-
dangers their health but the in
nocent ones surrounding them.
Therefore. the sanitary in
spector has been furnished with
two ounce bottles and labels and
instructed to collect any water
with wjggletales in it in these bot
ties to be used as evidence in the
recorders court that the person
breeding mosquitoes on their prem
ises. We feel that with this no
tice anyone could but feel that fair
warning has been given. We are
now making the third round in
specting with the above instruc-
tions to the sanitary man."
