Columbia, April 90. There are
500 more pensioners IN the State
this year than last year. The in
crease in the list has been steady
from year to year and now num-
bers 8, $50. The increase has been
general throughout the State.
The State board has endeavored to
hold the list down and TO restrict
tho pension fund t., those who
were absolutely entitled to it's
benefits.
1t will bs inter .tiug to know
that the most numerous clIss of
pensioners will this ye+r get only
SIT 35, whereas last year they got
$40 65. This reduction in the
amount to 60 to the pensioners is
simply because Of the increase in
the number adjudged to be enti-
tied to the benefits of the fund.
