Colunihia, April 27.-Comptroller General Jones today signed the cheeks for the pension fund distribution, the cheeks being sent to the clerks of court in the various counties for dis Iribution of the funds as allowed by lie pension honrds. The work of calculatiing the amouit diie each couity and each penstoner is a tre inildouls task, which is carelifuly per l'ormed bv Aliss Kate Malher, the pIen sion clerk in the Comptroller Gen vIal 's oilee. The General Assembly at the re eeit session appropi'iated $250_,000 f,ir Confederate pensions, which is $25,000 more than any previous ap propriation, and of this sum it was provided that $5,000 should be ex peuded for artficial limbs for those Veterans who had lost a limb in the service. There have been a number of applications granted for these ar tifleial lillbs and the appropriation is not yet exhausted. The refunds from last year's ap propriation amounted to $2,378.86, whieh made tile total amount avail able this year $252,37S.86. In addi tionl to the artificial limb fuid of $5,000 there is deducted the expenses of county boards, pension commis sioners, salary of clerk, stationery and printinlg and back pensiols, amounting to $3,623.66, leaving available for pensions this year the sum of $243,755.20, wneh has been' apportioned among the 9,015 Con federate Veteranus and widows of Confederate soldiers, who are grant ed the right to draw this money from the state treasury. The pension list is hv law divided into classes, as follows: Class A--Those soldiers or sailors who ave physieally disa;bled by reason of wonds, losing both arms or Ioth legs, or suffering par.aysis as a re sult of wounds, an(d whose ilcome or the inicome of whose wife does not exceed $150 per annum. Class B-Those who lost one arm or one leg and whose income or whose wife's income does nov exceed $150 per annum. Class C, No 1-Those disabled by wounds during the war, whose income does not exceed or whose wife's in come does not exceed $150. Class C. No 2-Those who have reached tile nie of (60 years and whose income or whose wife's income does inot exceed $75 pe11 an1num. Class C, No. 3-Widows of those who 14ost their lives fi the service whose income do(. it exceed $100 per annum. Class C. No. 4-Widows aove the age of (60 y'ears whose income does not exceed $100 pci annum. Under tihe law aind the methods of distributioii this year the classes named above will receive the follow ine sums: Class A. $96; Class B, $72; Class C No. 1, $48; Class C. No. 2, $21.07; (lass C, No. 3, $48: Class C, No. 4, $21.07. The nu'mher of pensioners in the different clas ses on the roll at priesenit is as fol lows: Class A. 101 ; Class B, 183; Class C, No. 1, 626; .Class C, No. 2, 4,007; Class C, No. 3, 745; Class C. No. 4, 3,353--making a tot al of 9,015. This is an increase of 72 over last yeari. T. sonmc counties t here is an iincrease of the amuoiunt paid, though a decrease inl thle nuImber of penlsionl ei's, but this is accountedi for by the( faet thlat the decrease is in the lower classes -and ther'e is an increase in the -higher classes, which receive the Ilarger amounts. The largest amount goes to Spar Itinburg county, which draws $20, :670,28; Greenville gets $13,439.39; Anderson, $14,603.79; Richland, $8, '012.29' Aiken $8,584.11. Many of the old soldiers and their widows are eongregatedl in the mill towns in the Piedmiont and the middle counties, and the amount paid for pe.isions does not, therefore, indier'e~ anything as to the number of soldiers sent to the wair firom each county. as follows: Abbeville . $..4,29S 54 Aiken . 8,5S4 11 I Andeiso . 14,603 791 Bambrg .. . .. ... 1,751 (62 Bea I IfIt .. 89) so Dairnwl . .I . 3,932 89 1 B.erkely .. .. .. ....... .4.73 1-i . 4,277 34 Cherokee .. 6,190 92 Chester . . . 4,363 56 f Chesteriold . 6,948 19 v Clarendon .. .. .. .... 3,715 56 v Colleton . 8,673 56 f Darlington . 5,844 32 Dorcliester .. .........2,310 72 t Edlerieldl.. ...... ...,16 07 Faiiielu .. .. .. .. .... 3,468 02 .
