March T.?Governor > Ansel to-day signed the Act which i has been called the "firemen's pen? sion bill." A few days ago Mr. Au> gustine T. Smythe. of Charleston, ap . pearea nere ana arguea oerore uoverr nor Ansel that the Act Is unconstitul tional sad should be retoed. Gov1 ernor Ansel gsve out no statement as to why he did not reto the Act ( but the understanding of the situai tion is that unless there should be 1 some grave showing as to why an . Act should be vetoed after passage . by the legislature the Governor would - sign it In the case of the Act signed r to-day the matter will probably go tc [ the Supreme Court later on. L Fire insurance men here are quoted . as saying that the rates would have to be raised in all towns in the State * where the tax would be paid undei . this Act if the Courts uphold the - same. The estimate of taxation upon " fire insurance companies is I20.00C [ per year. It appears that the slightly different wording of the Act ol k 1910 from that of 1906 meets so ftu 1 the objection as to its alleged uncon " stutionality. and the terms used L "hold it trust" and "to make more r efficient and efficacious the fire de1 partments of the State," would pre\ Tent the money being need as pension funds. However, the contentioi s of the insurance men is that "it'i | beating around the bush." Oorernoi Ansel expressed the opinion that th< 5 money raised under the Act could - be used for pensions and sick bene - fit payments to firemen. The Garrii t bill, now a law, by the Gorernor'i signature to-day, provides that $1 upon every $100 shall be paid by int surasce companies upon the amount > of all premiums written on fire with. in the limits of such incorporated i cities or towns for such period ai . companies may have done businesi in this 8tate, The money is to b< . paid over to the towns having fire . departments. The money is to b< . held in trust for the making of th? ? fire departments more efficient.

March 5.?William Rfllfnn ' a young white man, liring at Buffalo ' a tew miles from this city, wai brought here early this morning and lodged in Jail on a warrant charg , ing him with shooting his wife. 11 > appears that Billings, who is said tc . be rough and abnshre of his wife . when drinking, got into a difficult) i at another house last night, and waa - shot through the arm. He went . home about midnight His wife is r her statement to the magistrate said l that she had her arms around hei t husband's neck begging him not tc go out again, when he drew his pistol, flred once into the room floor, once into the bed and then placed the 1 pistol to her side and shot her. The unfortunate woman, after be 1 ing shot got out of her bed and went to the house of a neighbor, whet doctors and officers were sent for s The officers arrested Billings aftei 1 some trouble, and guarded him till | morning, when he was brought tc . Jail. The physicians attending Mrs Billings say that her intestines arc [ punctured in fourteen different placei by the bullet, and that the cannot 1 possibly lire. Billings, who wai f drinking or drunk at the time of th shooting, claims that it was an acci' dent and that the wound in his ara ' van caused by the same ball, but the officers do not seem to credit this. It is said that Billings was in the habit of beating and striking hii wife, and that she frequently ap peered at her work in the cotton mil] with bruises, showing where he had struck her. In her statement to the i magistrate who was called In soot - after the shooting, Mrs. Billings sayi > that she gave her husband absolutelj > no provocation for the act 8he hai i two small children. } ' Tiger Pines Amount to A boot $2,500 > ? > 8umter, March 5.?There were nc cases in the blind tiger matters to 1 day.
