HOW ABOUT PENSIONS? We notice from the Comptroller's classification of pensioners that class A. reads as follows : "Those who, as a result of wounds received in the war, are physically helpless, or who while in service lost both arms or both legs, or sipht, or who are disabled by paralysis and are unable to mane a livinp, and whose income does not exceed $150. This does not include soldiers whose disabilities arise from diseases and causes arising sirce the war " This reads well enough but lets see if this is being lived up to bythe Comptroller General. A county board of pensioners f >r Union county is in existence and it is composed of honorable and truthful men, neither of whom would for personal feelings or any other consideration would violate their oaths by recommending a man for either class who they were not entirely satisfied was entitled to th? class in which they put him. How the Comptroller General can take it upon himself to pick out the men ir the different classes who are and who -? ?"jiTrrsunany acquainted with every applicant thev ' recommended, while the Comptroller i General in Columbia knows no more 8 about any of the applicants than he d >es about Adam's house eat, is a ^ huckleberry above our persimmon, t Jf thft - _ .vnuauiuna 01 rne board H are to be twisted and turned and P changed and turned down at the ^ pleasure of the Comptroller General m why have a county pension board at in all. Just let any one who wishes l'n send in an application and let th< o e with the longest pole knock down the wr persimmons. The pole may consist of signatures of influential persons or something else. We do not know . ,u Is I how this thing has been conducted in other counties but we know that out coj: Of nine names sent in by the Union county board for class A. only one f passed?passed what? Well we don't exactly know what unless it was the ,joe pleasure of the Comptroller General, tell One of the applicants was one of Union's first pensioners and had it_. . this always been in class A. He was jn ri turned down in that class. He went zine to Columbia, spending a good share Pr?t of his pitance of pension money to than get thero and show himself to the nf ( Comptroller General, who at onei Felij said he ought to be in class A. and Kvol forthwith put him thire and gav? R?he him the additional amount of money bo due him. If he should i ! - ? ?" if K?v. class A,, why wt-she not there? The pessii county board recommended him to "The that class, why did the Comptroller General turn him down when he did not know the man or his condition? In It happened that a certain applicant to 'I asked to be put in class A., and while dating the hoard would have been glad to do paper it, if they had the power, they con- receip aidered that the income clause pro once, hlbit.ed his name from that class and renew) turned him down. This man got made, signatures from some influential citi receipt zens who were under no obligations is mad to sift out the pension law and come a familiarize themselves with its re ^ quirements, apd were naturally desirous at seeing a veteran got his (jG jj, pension. This petition went in and the Comptroller overruled the county ^ board and put him in class A rj(i^'I<]rlj We have no objection to this action whateve and would rejoice to see every disabled in Uoioi efceran in Union county drawing as much monoy as is allowed (or class 43.41 y if't wa- possible to do so with the and on hand. But wo would like t< '{now why the Comptroller Generi I turned down the eight applicants i recommended by the county board without any investigation. We saw one of these old veterans a few days ago and it was a pitiable , sight.. He was ?hot. through the back with a minnie ball?he has the ball in | his possession?and it was jnashed I (lat while crushing through his hip bones. The bone was shattered and , a piece of it worked through his flesh { and out of the opposite side. He la* 1 many hours on the battlefield wher j he was shot down before assistance | arrived. His left arm is as useless ? as a bar of lead, and he ban only pet ' from one place to another with the help of some one and a crutch. He is old and in feeble health. His form ( is emaciated, and he is totally in- * capable of doing any work. He is ' going to try to get to Columbia so as to come before the Comptroller Gen- i er.il that he may see whether or no he is entitled to class A. \ I f there is not enough money on hand i to allow these battle scared and sorely , crippled old heroes with one foot i? the grave and the other tottering o t the brink, it is high timean approprin- f tion was being made sufficient for the ^ purpose if it takes a five mill levy, t It does seem that it is the least thing ' this State can do for her old heroes who gave up the best days of their lives and shed their blood and left < their limbs on the battle ground while they.fought for the cause dear to their hearts. Lot us at least keep these J old decrip?d soldiers from the poor house and relieve them from the humiliation of being objects of charity on the hands of friends who would j feed them ruther than have them t enter the poor house.
