Hold Up Pension for Confederate Veteran in Texas
The Texas Legislature moved to raise Walter W. Williams 114 from 200 to 300 dollars per month but the 300 dollar pension technically takes effect September 1. Williams, once Hood’s Texas Brigade forage master, lies bedridden while his gravely ill wife is cared for by their daughter Mrs. Willie Mae Bowles in Houston. Police in Alexandria are seeking a gang of giggling youths throwing raw eggs at residents, including S. L. Smith who was hit while in his car.

Hike For Rebel Has Its Problems
Atty General Will Wilson was asked for an opinion to clarify issues. John H Winters says if pension delayed, $50 monthly checks would be authorized for both Williams and wife with first payments arriving next month. Mrs Bowles relies on $200 pension plus a $100 Legion supplement and $50 rent, but bills pile up and she is five months behind on house payments and down to $1.50.
