the session in which physical endur-
ance was the main requisite, the gen.
eral assembly of South Carolina, af-
ter exceeding the statutory limit OF
forty days by fifteen days, adjourned
sine die this morning at $50 o'clock.
A mass of acts of purely local ap-
plication were approved, but few laws
of statewide Importance were en-
acted. The legislature has been one
of controversy, with small accom-
plishments of real constructive na-
ture, but, according to the census Of
opinion, the rejection of legislation
of ordinary character is of more
salutary benefit to the state than the
enactment of the various proposed
laws.
Before the sun rose this morning
the conferees on the general appro-
priation bill had agreed and it was
reported to both houses. They adopt
ed the report and sent it to the gov
ernor, wearied from his long wait,
but he approved it. The general as
sembly then ceased it's business.
The bill as adopted carries levy
of not exceeding 11a mills and has a
total of appropriations of $685.
924.S7, hastily tabulated. This is a
reduction over the house bill and
that of the senate. The house bill
carried a total of s6,564,361.71.
Last year the finance bill carried
appropriations aggregating S6.097,-
141, a decrease of approximately
s5OO,O0O of those of this year. The

get report for this year, of all de-
