In response to a resolution of the senate,I sent a special message and documents to thatbody on tho snme subject, which emphasizedmy previously expressed opinions.

This would have been allright but for the n fact scoresof unworthy applicants were gettingthemselves on tho rolls, greatly to thedotriment of those who needed thefunds. The amount is distributed prorata, and of course the more pensionersthe smaller the amount each receives.The amount appropriated now Is 985,500.

When this was equally divided betweenthe three thousand on the rolls lastyear it was found that the .portion ofeach only amounted to 20.75.

This year the number is only 2,500,

and it will rejoice those who succeededin being recognized to know that theportion of each will amount to $27, or

0.75 more than thoy got last year. Thissum, while small to the averago man,is quite an item to the class ol peopledrawing this fund, as they are all verypoor, having to swear and prove thatthey are unable to earn a support andhave no visible means of existence.

Kolb and hisparty proceeded around to the righlof the building upon the grass.

Presently W. S. Reese, Jr., who ranfor attorney general on Kolb's ticketwent to one of Gov. Jones' secret-aria-

and asked if Kolb would be allowed lomake a speech in the grounds. Thesecretary replied that he could notspeak officially.

Kolb then asked if there was any ob-

try wagon was pressed into service andKolb with several of his leadersmounted it. The most liberal esti-

mates do not place the crowd of whitemen who gathered around it at ovei200, and many of those were democrats.There were also a hundred or two olcurious local negroes. No arms wereseen upon any person.

This result is. of course,verv largely due to the successful working ofthe plan inaugurating circuit courts of appeals.In respect to these tribunals the suggestion Ismade, in quarters entitled to the highest con-sideration, that an additional circuitjudge for each circuit would greatlystrengthen these courts and theconfidence reposed In their adjudications,and that such an addition would not create agreater force of judges than the Increasingbusiness of such courts requires.

Oates were in the first carriage.As the procession passed along therewas not the slightest disorder or markof disrespect of any kind.

Arriving at the capitol the customarysalute was fired by the artillery.Prpycr was offered by Rev. Dr. Eager,of the Baptist church, and then Gov.Jones introduced Oates in a brief butforcible address. The governor-elec- t

then delivered his inaugural address.He said he was satisfied beyond a

doubt that he was elected by a largemajority, or he would not accept theoftiee. He then touched upon nationalaffairs, and spoke in the highest termsof the national democratic administra-tion and what it had accomplished forthe welfare of the country. He closedwith a high compliment to the remark-ably successful administration of hispredecessor, and announced himselfready to take the oath of office. Thiswas administered by Chief JusticeBrickell on the Bible which is pre- - .

served in the state's archives as theone used when Jefferson Davis was in-

augurated president of the confederacyon the same spot.

This ended the ceremony, an artillerysalute again ringing out and the newgovernor was conducted to the execu-tive oftiee by his predecessor where a

reception was held for some time, hun-
