In answer to inquirer made to the editor of Record for information concerning the pension act patted by the tore at its recent session, we write the In the place all de siring a pension most make cation to their board on the first in next July. include not only those who have heretofore received a pension, but also all those who have receiving pension. This is re- quired because it is alleged there are some person pensions who are not lo Blank applications can Ire obtained from the clerks of the Court and should be filled up before July. If the applicant is unable lo appear before the board on Monday in July he or she send a from a physician stating that the cannot personally appear, as no doubt may be case with many. no soldier could re- a pension in fourth class unless his disability by a wound received while in Confederate service. The new law changes this and give a pension of the fourth a to soldiers who are now disabled from any cause to manual labor. In the pensioners are widows of ate soldiers who were married be- fore April and have not married again. According to the old law the only widows entitled lo a pension were widows of soldiers who had died the war or after war, from wound or disease contracted in the service. The new law gives a pension lo the widow of a soldier who has died at any time or from any cause. But no soldier or widow can get a pension who owns 8.100 of property. The old law has not been changed in respect. The new law will place on the pension roll needy de- veterans and widows, who were excluded by old law. the new examination, required by new law, may lake from pension roll the trainee of some persons who arc entitled to a pension. Every county board ought lo be very careful closely every application, re- unworthy pensioner will the small pittance that i to and deserving. According to last report of the State auditor there were last year Confederate pensioners in Stale, of whom were widows. The amount paid these pensioners last jeer were The by the new law a year. But while is so much larger than heretofore, each pensioner will get much more than there will be so many more persons tilled to The fourth- class pensioners whom were received last year only apiece. new law lows them apiece, but it is not probable that they will get over We so much wish that our Slate was able to pay every poor old as large an amount as he needs and ham Record.
