Approved March 3, 1898.

Whereas M. C. Mills, a disabled Confederate soldier of Virginia, was
a true and gallant soldier during the war; was loyal to Virginia; and

Whereas on account of partial disability he is now on the pension list
for fifteen dollars per annum; and

Whereas it is now represented that his disabilities have become total:
therefore,
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Lee shall examine into the condition of the above-named M. C.
Mills, a Confederate soldier; and should it be that he was true and loyal
to Virginia through the war, and that he is now afflicted and incapaci-
tated for manual labor, that he is needy and poor, and should receive aid
from Virginia, and if county court of Lee should send a certificate of the
facts to the auditor of public accounts of Virginia, then the auditor of
public accounts is directed to place the name of M. C. Mills on the pen-
sion list, and pay him annually the sum of fifteen dollars, on and after
the first day of April, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
