Decided Decrease In Pensioners.

The Clerk Of the State Board of
Pensions stated yesterday that the
approved rolls of pensioners had
been sent in by most of the County
Boards. 1t is noteworthy that these
rolls show decided decrease in the
number of pensioners az compared
with last years list. This is proba-
bly, due to the operation of the pro-
visions of the new act now of force,
throwing greater safeguards around
the disbursement of the pension ap-
preparation.
Despite the fact that many of the
counties have sent in their lists, the
lists will have to be returned for re-
vision, owing to defects. This, Of
course, will, of necessity, delay the
meeting of the State Board, and
consequently checks will likely reach
the pensioners later than usual. The
State, March 7th.

Bill Unconstitutional.

Judge Benet yesterday in court
here decided the act of 1900, putting
the county officers on salaries, to be
unconstitutional, on the ground that
it was local and special legislation,
and, therefore, repugnant to the con
stitution. The question came up on
a case of Probate Judge Nance US.
The County Board of Commissioners
on a bill presented to the Board by
the Probate Judge.
1t was an agreed case between the
parties and it was decided to make a
test case of it. Hon. George e.
Prince represented the Probate
Judge and Hon. j. T.. Breazeale, the
County Attorney, represented the
County Commissioners. The case
will be appealed to the Supreme
Court.-Anderson Daily Mail, March
