A programme of legislation for eon-j side-ration by tin- special session of tin general assembly to relieve tlie'sitna-1 tion in South Carolina was proposed i in an interview here yesterday by \V. F. St^isoson of the Cheraw bar. wiio is a member of the house from Clo-stertield eounty. .Mr. Stevenson lelt yesterday afternoon for Austin, where lie will make un_argument before the general assembly of Texas in favor of reduetion of cotton acreage in 1913. The programo proposed is as follows : Est;;-'; tmeiit of a .-late m system to store cotton. Postponement of the eolleeflou of taxes. State and eounty for 1 i* 1 !. The issuance of $1.3uo, una in bondon the asylum properly to place tinState on a cash basis to provide fori the running expenses of the Stabwhile the taxes remain unpaid and t<comple'.e a new asylum at State Park.

For this reason a law t ?1 require the fanners to reduce the) acrcge will he introduced. He was! of the opinion that it mie-ht lie well l > pass such a in -sure regardless of tl>. ! action of other cotton pro Itn-iu..' States. "Such a law."
