Noted Artist
Here For Visit!
(By William Garrard)
To devote his time during the hPil-tMy
ttt drawing und painting Southern
negro types in and near Camdeu,
Alexander lacovleff, notable among
the artists who painted jtouraU tor the
French liner, Noriuaudle, and teacher
of drawing and painting at the
School of the Boston Museum of Fine
Arte, arrival at the Hobkirk Inn Tuesday.
Mr, Ia^yleff's. visit-Is due to Miss
Frances Adele Savage, of Caipdoii, an
art student at the Boston Museum,
becauae of her deacriptlona to Mr.
lacovleff of the ^quaint and unique
negro types in and near this, the oldest
of South Carolina's Interior townsf
Mr. Iacovleff's fame as dn artist was
established internationally uomo year#
ago by the voluminous series of drawings
und paintings of nativo types
made by him while on expeditions into
Northern Africa, and Asiatic expel
ditions across the Gobi Desert and
through tho Himalay&u Mountains under
the late Georges-Marie Haurdt,
, ttquncod. by M. Andro Citroen, French
motor magnate, .. .vv
'* Mr. *fSfcoVloitv JiAs" bad many notable
"exhibits in-the United States as well
as abroad. Art critics are lavish in
praise of his work, many of them designating
him as the world's greatest
living draftsman.
Mr. lacovleff was born In Russia
and trained In the art academy of St.
Petersburg (Petrograd).i His eloquent
drawing is attributable to the rigorous
discipline of the pre-Revolution
art school there, says William Germain
Dooley, art critic of the Boston
Evening Transcript.
Following his natural inclination to
the study of ethnological types, he
had left for China on a traveling
scholarship from the Czar just, a
month before the outbreak of the
Bolshivist uprising. It was the series
of sketches which Mr. lacovleff did
then which attracted attention to his
talent, and caused Georges-Marie
Haardt to Invite him on the African
and Asiatic expeditions.
It is expected that Mr. Iacovleff's
drawing of the old-time South Carolina
negro types at Camden will have
even more appeal to Americans than
those of Chinese, native Africans and
Central-Asian Mongols, and the results
of his visit to Camden will be
awaited with interest wherever fine
and' true artistic delineations is appreciated.

Project Fatal
To Wild Life I
,sr fi. P8S,U,-TI?? conPotion
Of tti(? mucn (JlBCUBbiBd Barifeo^Cooper
Power Project would be k eer?
Wow to wild life, according to a
J&Wft JmUeila OX the National Association
of Audubon Bocleties. The association
states that thla project would
be in fact one of the moat potent
siugle lot-yea of destruction ever let
looae against the wild life of South
Carolina. '
What would these adverse effects
upon wild life constitute? The shutting
ofT of the normul flow of the
Santee from u maximum of 368,000
cubic feet p?r HeCo?d to 600 cubic
feet per second, us proposed, would
cause the waters to become heavily
saline for mllea inland. This condition
would destroy the present abundance
or natural duck foods; would
gruduully RIIJ the extensive primeval
stands of cypress, pine and gum; and
utuuly ruin tho entire lower basin so
fur as most if not all of its present
bird, mammal and tlsh population is
concerned.
What of this present wild life population?
u is such a good wintering
area lor surface feeding ducks?Mallards,
Black Ducks, Widgeon, Pintails
and Teal-?that an estimated $2,000,OOO.OOO
has been invested in property
within the Santee basin, chiefly by
clubs and individuals Interested in
the sport of wildfowling. The cypress
swamps are the natural habitat of
mauy typical southern species, birds
that are extremely rare In the country
?b a whole, deer, bear, and one of the
purest strains of wild turkey in the
United States. Tho loss of this habitat
would very likely mean the loss
of certain species that have no other
wilderness in which to retreat.
The Federal Refuge at Cape Romalne,
near the mouth of the Santee,
which has tfecome one of the most
important sanctuaries in the south,
would unquestionably suffer and lose
much of fts effectiveness.
1 he claim has been advanced that
Ohe two powor reservoirs will be ideal
water-fowl sanctuaries. These artificial
bodies of water will have a
depth of 70 feet, and a regular rise
and fall that will preclude the successful
growth of food plants. Even
diving ducks would not go down 70
feet, If there were food at the bottom,
and river ducks would be no more at
home than oh the heaving Atlantic.
The Audobon Association urges all
those interested In the preservation
of our wild life and wilderness areas,
those who recognise the tremendous
values of these to the state, to make
vigorous protests against tho SanteeCoqper
River Diversion Project
(P. W. A. Ddcket No. 4826), to President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Secretary
Of the interior Haold L. IbMer, and
Works Progress Administrator Harry

Man Dies Hete From
Revolver Bullets
I Allen R. Melton, 49, died at the

from pistol wounds said to have been
inflicted by a man named Amerson,
a Lee county school bus driver. Little
could be learned of the affair except
that It happened at Wlsacky, in
I^ee county, and is said to have, been
caused by Melton remonstrating with
the driver because he had put a sou

bullets are said to have taken affect.

The act w?? ratlfled at 12:26 p. 111.
and reached the governor for his slgnature
within the hour. It set up
au ex-offielo Huperviaory board of atata
officials to direct the highway * department

mesHuge, aud adjourned.
The aeuato auspoudwd at 12:59 and the
house at 1:07 p. m. "
The governor, who convened the
seasion to establish an executive highway
agency after lie hud ousted an
antagonistic commission, said in his
message to the departing legislature:
"You have had to grapple with a
most trying problem. There have
been many differuncos of opinion, and
there will doubtless over bo such.
Jlaviug finished successfully und admirably
your labors, you uro noyf
ready to return to your respective
homes. [ wish for each member iv
very merry Christinas." k
Upon motion of Sonutor Laney of
Chesterfield, the senate voted wlahof)
for a merry Christinas to the governor.
Every proposal for reHtimlng tho
loglslatlve session before January 14,
the date for' convening the regular
1930 term, was voted down or bloolfr
od as tho lawmakers turned homeward
for tho holidays.
The house rejected, 4& to 34, a proposal
to recess subject to the call of
the presiding officer and tabled a resolution
to reconvene January 7.
Senate objections blocked ?a roso-j
lutlon by Senator Sims of Orangeburg
to reconvene December 31 despite
Sims' explanation that other
emergency legislation might be necessary
if the temporary setup could not
qualify to receive federal road funds.
Doth Governor Olin Johston and the
general assembly made concessions to
terminate a deadlock that had threatened
to Bhut down the Btate highway
department entirely.
The governor, while keeping out a
highway commission he had ousted,
agreed to defer the enactment- of
permanent^ highway reorganisation
bills until the regular legislative session
January 14.
The legislature, successful in its
stand for Withdrawal of troops who
had held the road bureau since pct<?
her 28, recognized a question as to
the title of the commissioners to office
since the governor had brought
rem crv?V proceeding against them and
did not seek their reinstatement.
in a rapid' series of moves, Governor
Olln D. Johnston dfemobltsed national
guardsmen with whotn he seised
control of the department in October,
the house papeed a bill providing
for a temporary board of control,

. The measure provides for a tem-_
pordry supervisory board composed of
Btate Treasurer IB. P4. filler, Comptroller
General A. J. B*atUe and F. 0.
Robinson, secretary of the state sinking
fund commission. Actual adminIfcfratibh
would be delegated to J, S.
Williamson, chief highway engineer,
and O. P. Bourke, veteran secretarytreasurer
of the department. The
nmasure also authorises the ' depart*
meat to draw on the state treasury
for loans to operate until a supreme
court injunction freezing \ highway
funds?granted, after Johnston's military
coup?is dissolved.
The measure (toes not prejudice
court actions of members of the old
state highway commission, against
whom Johnston has fought for many
years, In appeal fjroiji his order ousting

open for permanent highway legislation
at the regular session of the assembly
starting January 14.
?The house acted on the measure
