She was at the time of her death president of the Current Lit erature Club of Columbia. Mrs. 11 Kohn's good works done in private were many and unceasing, her char-i itV openhanded, ungrudging, and I, thoughtful. She rend much and discriminatingly, maintained an informed and intelligent interest in the problems of the day, and in her public activities as well as in her household affairs showed herself possessed of executive ability, tact and a capacity for large undertakings. Mrs. Kohn removed in June, at | the advice of her physician, to a cottage on Sullivan's Island. She was accompanied by Mrs. Brunson. Mr. , l\Oljn Il.tu pceu sycuuiu^ mo ncooends with her there.

The conference extended the maturity period of paper rediscountable under the law from 4 5 to 60 days. Sections of the bill relating to the regular constitutions of banks and penalties for examiners who express gratuities or loans from banks, were approved. In the case of the penalties for examiners, or for officers of the banks, giving loans or gratuities to examiners, the maximum penalty was raised from $500 to $5,000 and the maximum of imprisonment from three years to five years.
