Old Soldiers Pensions It is to be hoped that who eyer may go to the legislatnre from Pickens county, will joi with our old nembters i ftryiw to get a pension for all the Old soldiers. It is clear to ally one who will study the matter that the pres ent plan of paying pisionis to old soldiers anl their wvilows is not giving satisfact ion. In fact it is not right: it is not just, and the law as it nww stands should be abolished and a law passed to give all old soldiers a pension, h it ever so snall. Any man who served in the war ought to have his share, and have it along lines of justice and equal ity. hlow would this do: The man who servel one year, pay him one dollar per month or $12 a yeoar; the man who serv (d t wo years, pay him $24 a year ; the man who served three years, pay him $36 a year, and tli man who served four years, iay him $48 a year. And when the soldier lost an arm, leg, eye or was disabled in any way, pay him something extra. Some may object because of the taxes, but when you think of what the old soldiers have donse; what they have suffered, and what we are because of' what they did and suffered, we ought to be willing to be taxed in order to show themn some ap preciation for the services th) ey have rendered their state. WVX hen the ohl soldierdt' home is sold andtl tl mony trned(l in to the treasury and all (he money nlow given as pensions wut, in to the treasury, it will ie a pret.y vgood anount to begin with'.
