The coming week will see the autumn
work Of the Brooklyn Institute Of Arts

prospects for a successful season are
brighter than ever before. Indeed. the
statistics set forth IN the Institutes new

One OF the most important features of

Wound Up in 90 Days
This resolution provides that the af-
fairs of the commission, that known
ms the "Blease commission" shall be
wound up within 80 days after the res
aaution becomes law. This will make
tAe' limit of the winding up of the
dispensary affairs March %. The
resolution abolishes the commission
and makes the attorney general the
winding up body, giving him all pow
ers heretofore granted by law to the
commission. The resolution says that
all moneys in the hands OF the COM
mission shall be turned over to the
State treasurer and all books to the
historical commission.
The act to allow the Columbia Street
Railway company to construct dam
across the Congaree river is now law
the signature of the governor having
been affixed today. During its passage
through the senate an amendment was
offered to require the railway company
to complete the Columbia Canal, out
this amendment was lost. The act
sets a limit of seven years in which
the dam must be completed.
Lockhart Measure.
An act that has been in the cover
nor's Office for some time and one that
has attracted considerable interest is
that to incorporate the Lockhart Pow
er company, a company proposing to
develop hydro-electric power at certain
shoals on the Broad river, between
Spartanburg and Union counties.
While of a local nature the act has
caused Statewide interest from tn
fact that it's set precedents and grant
extensive powers to the company. 1t
is granted the power to condemn prop
erty, and on this point the bill was
strongly opposed. However, it was
claimed by its patrons that the powers
were no more than granted railroads
and other public service corporations.
The act was signed by the governor.
Saluda Act Signed.
The governor today signed the act
to declare valid an election in Saluda
on the issue of $4,000 of bonds for
the construction of railroad to the
town of Saluda. The governor signed
his full name to the act, Coleman
Livingston Blease," and below this
wrote Congratulations to Saluda," "
explaining that he had signed his full
name for the fact that it represented
three of the familiar family names of
the county Of Saluda.
The governor today sent to the Sec
retary Of State without MS signature
ehe act amending tho law in relation
10 the location Of voting precincts in
certain counties, these being the coun-
ties of Horny, Abbeville, Newberry,
Pickens, Chesterfield, Colleton, Union,

Columbia, Feb. 26.-E. j. Watson,
commissioner of agriculture Of South
Carolina, and president Of the South
ern Cotton congress, today addressed
a letter to the governors and commis-
sioners of agriculture Of the cotton
States of the South, in which he charg-

cotton is merely an effort to make the
farmers plant more cotton. He ap-
peals to the farmers of the South to
push the work of securing a reduction

Substantial actual reduction is and

Telephone Bill Vetoed.

A message was received from the
governor vetoing Senator Sullivan's
bill requiring telephone companies to
furnish connection to their subscrib-
ers free of cost in certain Circumstance
es. The message was ordered printed
in the journal.
Just what time the general assembly
will adjourn sine die is not known, as
the subject was not mentioned in the
short session Of the senate held today,
outside Of the remarks Of Senator Hall
on his resolution. The question will
likely be taken up when both bodies
are in session. The house meets to-
morrow night at 8 o'clock.
The unusual situation which has
arisen, and the fact that the general
assembly is now beginning the eighth
week of it's present session, is caus-
ing unusual interest among the people
in all sections Of the State. Only a
small number of senators were pres
ent at the session today, but more will
come in tonight or tomorrow, and 9TH
ers will return if summoned by tele-
graph. No new bills are to be intro
duced and there is no calendar.
