PENSION MONEY MAY BE RESTORED Anderson, July 9.?Attorney General 5. M. Wolfe has given his opinion concerning the pension money which was deposited in the Farmers & Planters bank shortly before the bank went into liquidation. The amount deposited was $32,820, and the balance in the bank is $22,000 to the credit of his account. 'Mr. Wolfe states that "where a bank accepts a deposit of this nature from a public official in his official capacity, 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 tha fund in full and not require that it be placed upon a parity of ordinary deposits." . .
