Will Be One of Principal Speakers at Sheet Metal Contractors Meet. Durham Herald. Walter Budd, president of the Dur ham chamber of commerce, will be one of the principal speakers at the 21st annual convention of the Nation al association of sheet metal contract ors at the Atlanta Biltmore hotel, At lanta, Ga. Mr. Budd is recognized as one of the city’s prominent civic leaders* as well as a sheet metal contractor of high repute through the south. According to reports from Atlanta convention committee more than 600' delegates are expected s to attend the four-day meeting; PENSION MONEY HERE. Vouchers for between six and seven thousand dollars has been received by clerk of court Hatch for Chatham county Confederate pensioners. There [ are 62 men and 54 widows on the list. Every one of them gets S6O each. A similar voucher is given each in De cember, making the pension $l2O a year. It happens that there is not a single first-class pensioner on' the Chatham list—by first-class is meant those who draw a larger pension be cause of wounds' ’ ■ It would be interesting to know if, as it was found to be the case in Sampson county, some well-to-do people disqualified by the property limit, are on this list while others more needy but regardful of their oath have not applied for help because of the proviso that S2OOO Worth of property disqualifies one for a pen sion. The S2OOO limit includes gifts to children. An old soldier cannot give away his property and thus impover ish himself and then legally get on the pension list. PITTSBORO, N.
