Pensions Debarred for the
Present Year.

Atlanta, Feb. 6-According to decision
rendered to-day by Attorney General Ter
ren. veterans who have received pensions
this wear. will not be allowed to enter
the Soldiers Home until year shall have
passed. Mr. Terrell to-day informed the
board of trustees of the Soldiers Home
that under the law the pensions now paid
are for the current year and not for the
year that has passed
The law with regard to the home spe-
eifcally provides that no veteran shall re-
ceive a pension and after the home in
the same year. This will materially re-
duce the list Of successful applicants FOR
admission during the present year, as
about all those entitled to receive pen
sions have been paid, and there are few
outside of these who will be entitled to
enter the home.

Columbia, S. c., Feb. 6.-Chief of Po-
lice Boyce Dean of Spartanburg, yester-
day shot Mr.. Ed. b. Dean, who is both
the first cousin and brother-in-law of

a hot political fight in Spartanburg county
last summer. Sheriff George b. Dean
was a candidate for reelection and his
opponent was John r. Vernon, then chief
of police Of Spartanburg. Boyce Dean
was elected to the place. This course
brought about ill-feeling in the Dean fam
lily and the two parties have not been
on good terms since the election, which
resulted in the defeat of Sheriff Dean.
Yesterday afternoon ed. Dean. a son
of the ex-sheriff, was sitting in a buggy
on Main street. when Chief of Police
Royce Dean walked up. An alteration
was soon started. the result being that
the chief of police drew a pistol and shot
his cousin and brother-in~law. The bali
took effect in Ed. Deans arm, making
only a slight wound, but the friends OF
both parties are apprehensive Of further
trouble.
The Dean family is very prominent po-
Iucally IN the upper part of the state
