For Its Establishment.
Pension Warrants Sent ont Only
Two Convicts Attempted to Es
cape From Penitentiary. New
Tree Discovery. Increase
in Valuation.
Special to Journal.
Kai.ehiii, December 18. Today the
pension warrants were sent out by the
auditor to the clerks of the various
counties and they will be ready for dis
tribution by the registers of deeds on
the 15th. They are as follows: 1st, class
frS a year, 111; 2nd class, $43 50, 35?; 3d
clasp, $29,(114; 4th class, $14 50, 2320;
widows, who get 4th class, 2058. The
amount covered by the warrants is $112-
0. This is not as large as last year by
$000(1. This is because last year the
pension account was overdrawn $1800
in order to distribute the fund on hand.
This year a balance of $1700 is left.
Last year the fund got $5900, which the
secretary of State had turned in as an
old bind grant fund. The legislature di
rected him to turn it over to the treas
urer and after ft months lime the latter
iiiincd il inio the pension fund.
The Winyah Sanitarium and Hotel
Company was today authorized by the
State to drop the word "hotel" ia its
charter. It is a' Asheville.
It ia nai.l that the sales of leaf tobacco
here this ye.nr will approximate a mili

average for several years.
