MAY BE RESTORED

Anderson, July 9.-Attorney Gen
eral s. M. Wolfe has given his opin-
ion concerning the pension money
which was deposited in the Farmers
& Planters bank shortly before the
bank went into liquidation. The
amount deposited was s32,S20, and
the balance in the bank is $4,000
to the credit of his account. Mr..
Wolfe states that "where a bank &C.
cepts deposit Of this nature from
a public official in his official capac-
ity, and with the full knowledge of
the deposit being public money, it is
impressed with a trust, and to this
extent the law would permit of a
collection of the fund in full and not
require that it be placed upon a pari-
ty of ordinary deposits"
