AMENDED PENSION LAW.
Grsat Cars Demanded -: By County Pension
Board. '.' Vv. '-"
' r
Raleigh,' June" 21. State Auditor
Dixon is sending out to the pension
boards of the various counties copies of
the new pension law together with the
list of pensioners from ' each county.
The present law was amended by the
last legislature as follows:"Provided,
that the county board of pensions may
place upon the pension roll in the
classes to which he or she would other
wise belong any Confederate soldier,
sailor or widow, disqualified by the pr
visions of this section who may appear
to be unable to earn a living from prop
erty valued at as much as f 500 or more
for taxation, and who may appear to
the .Board, from special' circumstances
worthy to be placed upon the pension
roll." Regarding this new provision
State Auditor Dixon says: "Of course
this matter is left entirely with the
county pension board and it is earnest
ly desired that' the latter be extremely
careful in making thorough examina
tion of each applicant who has proper
ty over"$500 in value, because every
one of this class who is placd upon the
pension rolls will take money from those
who possibly need it worse, and unless
the cases are extremejy urgent I think
it would be wise for the county pension
board not to approve this class of pen
sioners.'' , ': -

Reported Death of G. W. Ward.
News reached here last evening of
the reported death of Mr. G. W. Ward,
a well known resident of Swansboro, at
Charleston, S. C. He was on his way
hme from Punta Gorda, Florida, where
he had been living with his son for the
past two years.
Mr. Ward had not been in gocd health
for some time but the malady from
which he suffered was . not considered
dangerous, and it was believed that he
was recovering from the attack. He
was greatly rejoiced at the prospsct of
his return to his old home which he
left to be with his son and to enjoy the
milder climate of Southern Florida.
Mr, Ward was a warm friend of the
Journal and was the. paper's faithful
chronicler of eventa for --many years.
His letters were enjoyed by his many
friends on account of his unique originality;.-His
horn de plumes of '"Cracker
Boy," and "Salter Eath Schoolmaster',
will be wellYemeuibered. He was en
thusiastic about everything, that he
saw and was , one of those rare men
who always saw the silver lining to
every cloud. , He loved his fellowmen
and was a genial, companionable man.
No details of his death or funeral
could be obtained last night. ,: The Jour
nal will publish that tomorrow. -

left today for Wrightsville, stopping on

in the case of Dan Teachy, murdererJ

sentence is sought to be commuted to

to Wrightsville mainly to took at the
camp site and to confer with citizens of
of Wilmington and Wrightsville regard
ing the encampment of the Second and
Third Regiments there. ' Tomorrow
evening the Governor, delivers an ad
dress at Wilmington. . ; Next ' Saturday
he will give a hearing in his office here
in the matter of the application of the
gold brick swindlers now in the peni
tentiary who ask for pardon or commu
tation Of sentence. At this hearing t' e
State will be represented by Solicitor
A, L. Brooks of the Greensboro Dis
trict, who prosecuted and brought about
the conviction of these notorious swind
lers.svhoma number of criminal Jaw-
yers have sought to get out of the
penitentiary. One of their noted law
yers , who came here from Chicogo to
get them out of trouble" and who was
very bold, not to say impudent in this
argument and statements, has since
been disbarred for practices becoming
an attorney. This item about what
the Governor has to do will give an idea
of what a very busy man he is. He
finds out that it requires hard work to
be Governor and remarked with a smile
that some one had told him a Governor
had nothing to do.
It is learned about the man J. B
Powell, the Norfolk swindler now in
jail here on his way to the Atlanta
penitentiary that he had been tried
fourteen or fifteen times before U. S.
Commissioners or in Federal courts.
The Government officials are glad that
they have at last got hold of him. He
is recognized as a man of great daring
who will run great risks to get; at liber
ty. '
One of the clerks in the court house
here has been very sick for some time
and it was thought had fever, but upon
an expert examination it is found that
he is dying of cigarette poisoning, some
thing which is affecting a vast number
of young men.
Inspector General "Bain of the North
Carolina National Guard was here today
and mustered in the members, 28 of
them of the new band of the. Third
Regiment. He remarked that Raleigh
military headquarters should have al
ways been the location ' of one of tha
bands of the National Guards.
- Ano'ther one of the bonds of what are
known of the South Dakota bond class
came m today from Schaf er Brof. of
New York. No one know how many
of these bonds are yet outstanding. It
was thought that, practically all, had
been 'taken -up but since the settlement
several have come in. They are worth
$892 each. ' ', -
Clerk Arrington of the State peni
tentiary expressed great Indignation and
and sorrow today because of the fact
that a mink visited the prison grounds
last night and killed over 60 of his finest
thickens, biting the heads and. leaving
tho dead birds scattered in all directions
over the grounds.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Will The Warehouse Be Removed?
There seems to be a determined move
ment to prevent the shifting, and mak
ing up of trains on Hancock street, and
certainly it ia a great nuisance, but
suppose the city council should forbid it
what then?
For many years the merchants have
demanded, warehouse downtown. Mr
Bryan While president of the A. & N.
C caused a fine, commodious one to be
built. The convenience has no doubt
caused a good increase of patronage to
the road by the merchants, Hence the
increased trafHs necessitates the hand
ling of more cars. Heretofore the trains
passed along Hancock street without
needing to stop. ' Now in order to dis
charge freight and make up trains it is
necessary that locomotives and cars
pass constantly along the street. The
noise and smudge is a great annoyance
to the people living along there, but
what ia the remedy? Forbid the mak
ing up and shifting of trains as it
called, and the railroad company will
have to. provide a warehouse elsewhere,
perhaps a mile or so from the business
part of town, and that will necessitate
the merchants hauling their goods sev
eral, times the distance they do now and
of course tha cost of handling will be
increased in proportion to the distance.
While the aldermen, art considering
the matter they should not kxtt sight of
the fact that the merchanta will be an
noy ad and seriously . affected by any
action that will cause .the removal of
the warehouse.-
Trains should not be allowed to stand
across tha streets, nor should there be
any unnecessary movements of trains,
but, there are several sides to the mat
ter and all should be seriously consider
ed. . The question is, can the merchants
do without the Trent river warehouse?
