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. I
TIf RICH PAPRRS A WEEK.
