County Pension Roll to no Revised And All sine Paupers to in' Drop? ped. Tin* Hoard of County Commission? er! met in regular monthly session in the office of Supervisor Pitts at 10 a. m? Tuesday. The transaction of regular routine business consumed the greater part of the session. The usual number of claims were audited and ordere i paid. The matter of monthly payments to fonfederate veterans under the Act permitting county commissioners to xtend aid to ex-Confederate soldiers, Who make application for assistance paupers, was discussed at some u ngth. The steadily increasing num? ber of ex-Confedrate paupers, who are receiving $3 per month, each, is becoming ? serious problem, as the flnanolal condition of the county does not warrant an increase In fixed ex? penses. Following the discussion B resolution was adopted that the board t Itl next meeting revise the list of ex-Confederate pensioners now grant ?d aid by the county board and drop from the list of pensioners all who are not paupers. Mr. - Edwards, of Cheraw, pre? sented a request to be placed on the pension roll of the county as an ex Confederate soldier. The request was refused on the ground that he had not been a cltlsen of Sumter county for a sufficient length of time to en* title i,iin to a pension.
