     PLAN FEATURES - Frequently Asked Questions

     The SCANA Investor Plus Plan offers you convenient and
economical ways to buy, hold and sell shares of SCANA Corporation
common stock.  

     You may purchase common stock directly through the SCANA
Investor Plus Plan.  You do not need a broker and as long as the
stock is purchased directly from SCANA, no commission will be
charged for purchases.  Below are some frequently asked questions
and answers about the SCANA Investor Plus Plan:


(1)     Who is eligible to participate in the SCANA Investor Plus 
        Plan?  Any United States resident may purchase shares     
        through the SCANA Investor Plus Plan.  Residents of some  
        states will receive our information from a registered     
        broker-dealer.

(2)     What is the minimum initial investment for the purchase   
        of shares by a person who is not currently a SCANA or     
        South Carolina Electric & Gas Company stockholder?  $250

(3)     How often are shares purchased by the Plan?  Twice        
        monthly -- usually on the 1st and 15th.  We must have     
        your cash payment in hand at least two business days      
        prior to the purchase date.  We have schedules of
        the due dates and we will send one to you upon request.   
        Your reinvested dividends will be used to purchase shares 
        on the quarterly payment dates - January 1, April 1, July 
        1 and October 1.

(4)     What are our minimum and maximum cash payments?  Our      
        minimum is $25 per payment and our maximum is $100,000 in 
        a calendar year.

(5)     How is the price of purchased shares determined?  For     
        shares purchased directly from SCANA, we average the high 
        and low sale prices of the common stock listed on the New 
        York Stock Exchange on the business day before the        
        purchase.  Example:  For shares purchased on the 15th,    
        the price of newly purchased shares would be the average  
        of the high and low sales prices on the 14th.  Of course, 
        you need to adjust for weekends, holidays, etc.

        If shares are purchased on the open market, the price of  
        your shares will be the weighted average price of all     
        shares purchased for that day (1st or 15th).  This will   
        include any brokerage commission and/or taxes and service 
        charges.

(6)     Will SCANA return to purchasing shares on the open        
        market?  It may. The price of shares purchased on the     
        open market will likely include a brokerage fee.  If we   
        decide to purchase shares on the open market, we will     
        notify you first, and give you an estimate of the         
        brokerage fee involved.

(7)     Is there a fee for selling shares through the Plan?  Yes, 
        a brokerage commission is charged for selling shares      
        through the Plan.  The fee is based on the number of      
        shares sold and the price per share.  We will estimate    
        the commission for you before you sell if you call.

(8)     Are there any other fees?  There are no other fees        
        associated with our Plan at present.

(9)     When are statements sent?  We will send you a statement   
        every time you make a purchase or there is other activity 
        in your account such as a withdrawal or sale.  Also, we   
        always send a quarterly statement shortly after January   
        1, April 1, July 1 and October 1.  Please keep your       
        statements.  You will need them for tax purposes.

(10)    Will SCANA send gift certificates? Absolutely.  When you  
        purchase shares for another person (or transfer shares    
        from your own account to another person) and want us to   
        send a gift certificate, let us know.  Please send any    
        Christmas gift requests before December 1.

(11)    Can you transfer shares from one account to another?  Of  
        course.  We will send the required form upon request.

(12)     Will SCANA issue a stock certificate for shares          
         purchased?  Yes.  We will be happy to issue a stock      
         certificate. Please notify us in writing when you want   
         one. We do not issue certificates for partial shares.

(13)     If shares are held in "street name" by a stockbroker,    
         can they participate in the Investor Plus Plan? No.  You 
         must ask your stockbroker to issue the shares to you in  
         a stock certificate if you want the shares to            
         participate in the Plan.

(14)     Are SCANA dividends taxable income?  Yes.  Even          
         reinvested dividends are taxable income.  We will send   
         you a Form 1099 indicating your SCANA dividend income    
         for the year.

(15)     Can you receive dividends in cash for shares held in a   
         Plan account?  Sure.  Just let us know how you want your 
         dividends handled, and we will follow your instructions. 
         We have a form which can be used for this purpose. We    
         will mail it to you upon request.

     WHO RUNS THE PLAN

     SCANA's Shareholder Services Department administers the
Plan, keeps the records and sends statements.  Merrill Lynch,
current Custodian, acquires, holds and sells the shares on behalf
of the Plan participants.  The telephone numbers and address for
Plan matters are shown in the box below.

     SCANA TELEPHONE NUMBERS, MAILING ADDRESS, ETC.

FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCANA INVESTOR PLUS PLAN:

SCANA'S Toll-Free Shareholder Services Number:     1-800-763-5891
Shareholder Services Local Number:                 1-800-733-6817
Fax                                                1-803-343-2344

Any payments and all correspondence should be mailed to:

                      SCANA Corporation
                      Columbia, SC  29218-0002

Please include your account number or social security number on
all checks and money orders and on all correspondence, as well as
a telephone number where you can be reached during regular
business hours. 

     WHO PAYS THE PLAN'S COSTS

     We pay all of the administrative costs of the Plan.  As long
as the Plan buys the common stock directly from the Company, you
pay no brokerage commission.  You will pay your portion of the
brokerage commissions and other costs if the Plan sells your
common stock for you.

     If the Plan starts to purchase shares in the open market,
you will have to pay your portion of any brokerage commissions. 
If the Plan decides to buy shares in the market, we will send you
a letter notifying you of the change before we make the first
purchase.

     HOW TO ENROLL IN THE PLAN

     If you are already a stockholder of SCANA or South Carolina
Electric & Gas Company ("SCE&G") we will enroll your shares in
the SCANA Investor Plus Plan when we receive your completed and
signed authorization form (which we will send to you upon
request).  

     If you are already a stockholder you may:

     (1)  reinvest all or part of the dividends earned by your    
          SCANA common stock and/or your South Carolina Electric  
          & Gas Company preferred stock (we will purchase only    
          shares of SCANA common stock with your dividends);

7


<PAGE>

     (2)  make additional investments of up to $100,000 per       
          calendar year (the minimum payment we can accept is     
          $25);

     (3)  send us your stock certificates for safekeeping in the  
          Plan;

     (4)  receive dividends on Plan shares by check or electronic
          deposits.  (We have a form for electronic deposit. Let  
          us know if you need it); and

     (5)  purchase shares for family members or others and have   
          gift certificates sent to recipients.


     If you are not currently a stockholder of SCANA or SCE&G, we
will establish your account (which will include all of the above
features) when you send us an initial investment of at least $250
along with a completed enrollment form.  Please notify us if you
would like an enrollment form sent to you.

     You may receive enrollment information from a broker-dealer
rather than directly from SCANA.  Some state securities laws
require that a registered broker-dealer send information to their
residents; therefore, a registered broker-dealer will forward the
prospectus and enrollment form to residents of those states.

     Following is some important information about dividend
record dates and dividend payment dates that will affect
reinvestment of your dividends:  The SCANA Corporation Board of
Directors sets dividend record dates and payment dates on a
quarterly basis; however, the following dates have generally
applied in the past.

                  Record Date           Payment Date
                  December 10            January 1
                  March 10               April 1
                  June 10                July 1
                  September 10           October 1

     If your account is enrolled for reinvestment of dividends
before a record date, your dividends can be reinvested on the
next payment date.  For instance, if you enroll prior to December
10, your January 1 dividend can be reinvested.  We will confirm
receipt of your enrollment form.

     What about "street name" accounts? If your SCANA stock or
South Carolina Electric & Gas Company preferred stock is held by
a stockbroker in "street name," you must have the stockbroker
issue the stock  to you in your own name if you want these shares
to participate in the SCANA Investor Plus Plan.

     We will gladly send you an enrollment form if you are not
already a stockholder or an authorization form if you are 
currently a stockholder.  If you would like to have either sent
to you, call 1-800-763-5891.

     CASH PAYMENTS

                  Minimum Payment   $25
                  Maximum Payment   $100,000 per calendar year

     You may purchase additional shares of common stock with cash
payments.  Once you are enrolled in the Plan, you may send
payments to SCANA of at least $25 per payment and not more than
$100,000 in a calendar year. All checks are subject to collection
by SCANA and must be in United States dollars.

     Your payment may be made by check, money order or bank draft
(automatic monthly debit of your bank account). Please contact us
if you are interested in the bank draft option. The minimum
payment of $25 also applies to your bank draft.

     You will not be paid interest on your cash payments that are
received prior to the purchase of shares; therefore, you should
send your payments to be received as close to the payment due
date as possible.  The payment due date is two full business days
prior to the purchase date.

     If your check or other payment is returned because of
insufficient funds or any other reason, you must make the check
or payment good within 15 calendar days after we notify you of
the problem.  If the payment is not made good, we will sell any
shares purchased for you and report the sale to the Internal
Revenue Service as we are required to do.  You may have a tax
liability for the sale.

     SCANA will refund your payment upon request if the request
is received at least three business days prior to the purchase of
shares.

     If you purchase shares through the Plan and fail to specify
whether or not you want the dividends paid in cash or reinvested,
we will reinvest the dividends earned by these shares.  

     DATES WHEN SHARES ARE PURCHASED

                    Purchase Dates: 1st and 15th of every month

     We purchase shares twice monthly on the 1st and 15th.  Of
course, these dates are subject to adjustment for weekends and
holidays. We must have all funds in hand at least two FULL
business days prior to the purchase date.  If you would like to
have a list of the payment due dates and purchase dates,  let us
know, and we will send it to you.  We process bank drafts on the
25th of the month, and all bank draft purchases are made on the
first of the month.

                              week.


     PRICE OF PURCHASED SHARES

     The price of shares purchased directly from SCANA will be
the average of the high and low prices of our common stock on the
business day just prior to the purchase.  For example, if you are
buying shares on the 15th, the price of your shares will be the
average of the high and low on the 14th. Keep in mind that these
dates are adjusted to allow for weekends and holidays. We obtain
the high and low prices each day from the New York Stock Exchange
quotations. As you know, the price of common stock fluctuates
daily, and we have no control over this.  You must bear the
market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of common
stock.

     If and when SCANA decides to purchase shares on the open
market, the price of shares will be the weighted average of the
prices, including any brokerage commission and applicable taxes,
for all shares purchased for the Plan for each purchase date. You
will be notified if SCANA decides to make a change and purchase
shares on the open market.

     We allocate shares to three decimal places, so be aware that
there will always be a partial share in your account.  This
practice allows full investment of your dividends and cash
payments.

     PLAN STATEMENTS

     We mail statements as follows:

           (1) after each quarterly dividend is paid;

           (2) after purchases on the 1st and
               15th of the month for those who
               send in cash payments; and

           (3) after any account activity such as
               a sale or withdrawal of shares.


10


<PAGE>

     The statements show the date of the purchase, the amount
invested, the share price paid, and the number of shares
purchased with each investment, as well as the accumulated total
shares held in your Plan account.  The statements also show any
withdrawals or sales.  

          You should keep your statements for tax purposes. 
          Statements give you the original cost of the shares. 
          You will need this cost basis to determine gain or loss
          if you sell your shares.

     Your certificated shares (shares represented by actual stock
certificates) will show on your quarterly statements only
(January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1).  The number of
certificate shares you own will not show on statements issued at
other times.

     You may detach the top portion of any statement and use it
to send instructions to us.  We include return envelopes along
with the statements; but if you don't have one, our address is in
the bottom right corner of the statement. Be sure to sign any
instructions sent to us.

     We will mail a l099-DIV form to you by January 31 of each
year.  This is the form you need for your income tax records.

     HOW TO OBTAIN SHARE CERTIFICATES

     You may obtain a stock certificate for any or all of the
whole shares held in your Plan account at any time without
charge.  We do not issue certificates for partial shares.

     Withdrawal of shares requires notification in writing signed
by all account owners.  You may use the top of any statement for
this purpose, write a letter, or request a withdrawal form.

     If you request withdrawal of all your shares between a
dividend record date and the payment date, there will be a delay
until after payment of the dividend before the shares can be sent
to you.

     SALE OF SHARES

     We will sell your Plan shares for you if you notify us in
writing. We do not take telephone requests to sell shares, and we
require signatures of all owners to sell shares.

     If you want us to sell your certificated shares, you must
send the stock certificates to us with instructions to sell
signed by all owners of the stock.  We also have a form which
instructs us to sell certificated shares.  Let us know if you
need one. Please mail stock certificates by certified or
registered mail for safety.  


11


<PAGE> 

     We sell shares at least once a week and generally more often
than that.  If you want specific details about when sales are
being processed during any given week, call us at 1-800-763-5891. 

     We sell shares on the open market at prevailing market
prices.  The price you will receive for your shares is the
weighted average sales price of all shares sold by the Plan's
Custodian (currently Merrill Lynch) on the day of sale - minus
any brokerage commission and/or service charges or taxes.  We
will mail the proceeds of your sale to you by First Class Mail. 
We will be happy to estimate the commission for you if you call. 
Sales are reported at year-end to both you and the Internal
Revenue Service.

     The Custodian has total authority over when shares are sold. 
This timing cannot be influenced by SCANA or the participant, and
you must bear the market risk associated with fluctuations in the
price of common stock.  If you want to negotiate the price at
which your shares are to be sold, it will be necessary for you to
request a stock certificate and engage the services of a
stockbroker to handle the sale for you.  We will sell partial
shares only if you sell all your shares.    

     If you request the sale of all your shares between a
dividend record date and the payment date, the sale will be
delayed until after payment of the dividend.  (For example, if we
receive your request on September 15 to sell all your shares, the
sale will not be processed until after October 1.)   

     TRANSFER OF SHARES

     We will transfer shares for you at no cost. You may:

            (1) transfer shares to an existing Plan account; or
            (2) establish a new Plan account; or
            (3) have a stock certificate issued 
                in another person's name.

     At the time of your request, please provide the name,
address and social security number of the person receiving the
shares.  We will not transfer partial shares unless you are
transferring all of the shares in your Plan account.

     All transfers require the MEDALLION guaranteed signatures of
all account owners.  Most banks and stockbrokers can MEDALLION
guarantee your signature.  Our transfer forms have complete
instructions.  Call 1-800-763-5891 for a transfer form.

     We will send a gift certificate for shares transferred to a
new (or existing) Plan account if you request it.

     CHANGING YOUR ENROLLMENT STATUS OR TERMINATING PARTICIPATION

     You can change your enrollment status at any time.  You may
decide to stop reinvesting all your dividends and reinvest only
part of them, or you may decide you would rather have your
dividends paid to you by check or electronic deposit.  You must
notify us in writing if you want to change your enrollment
status, and all owners must sign each request.  We have a form
you may use to make a change in your enrollment status.  We will
send it upon request.


12


<PAGE>

     Any request for change of status received between a dividend
record date and the payment date will be delayed until after
payment of the dividend.

     You may terminate your participation in the Plan at any time
by notifying us in writing.  We can send you a certificate for
all whole shares in your Plan account and a check representing
the sale of the partial share, or we can sell all the shares for
you.  This, too, requires notification in writing signed by all
owners.  You can use the top of your statement for this
notification or write us a letter, or we can send you a form for
this purpose.

     Again, if you decide to terminate your participation in the
Plan between the dividend record date and the payment date, there
will be a delay until after the dividend is paid and the
resulting shares are posted to your account.

     DEATH OF A PLAN PARTICIPANT

     Upon notification of death, we will send complete, easy-to-
understand instructions to the legal representative of your
estate, or the joint owner of your shares, outlining requirements
to transfer the shares to a new registration.

     TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PLAN PARTICIPATION

     Dividends paid by SCANA Corporation or its subsidiary, South
Carolina Electric & Gas Company, are considered taxable income -
whether paid in cash or reinvested.  Any dividends paid to you in
cash or reinvested for you will be reported at year end both to
you and the Internal Revenue Service.

     The sale of any shares through our Plan will be reported to
you and the Internal Revenue Service.  You can develop the cost
basis of your shares from your statements.  

     Since each stockholder's financial situation is different,
you should consult your individual tax advisor concerning any tax
questions you may have about Plan participation.

     STOCK SPLITS, STOCK DIVIDENDS AND RIGHTS OFFERINGS

     Any stock dividends or split shares distributed by SCANA on
your Plan shares will be added to your account.  Dividends earned
by these shares will be reinvested unless you notify us to the
contrary. If SCANA should determine to offer securities through a
rights offering, you will receive rights based upon the total
number of whole shares in your account.

     VOTING RIGHTS

     You have the right to exercise all voting rights for the
whole shares credited to your account.  You may vote in person or
by proxy.  Your proxy card will show the whole number of shares
you own including both your Plan shares and your certificated
shares.  If you decide to vote in person, please notify the
corporate secretary before the meeting begins.



13


<PAGE>

     If no instructions are received on your signed and dated
proxy card, all your shares will be voted in accordance with
recommendations of SCANA's management.  If you do not return the
proxy card or don't sign it, your shares will not be voted.

     LIABILITY LIMITATION

     Neither SCANA nor the Custodian will be liable for any act
(or omission of any act) done in good faith.  This applies
without limitation to the prices at which your shares are
purchased or sold, when purchases or sales are made and the
fluctuations in market price.

     You are cautioned that this prospectus does not represent a
change in SCANA's dividend policy or a guarantee of future
dividends. Dividends depend upon SCANA's earnings, financial
requirements, governmental regulations and other factors.

     You must recognize that neither SCANA nor the Custodian can
assure you of a profit or protect you against a loss on shares of
common stock purchased or sold through the SCANA Investor Plus
Plan.

     CHANGES TO THE PLAN
     SCANA reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the
Plan at any time in whole or in part.  Notice of any significant
amendment or modification will be mailed to you.  If the Plan is
terminated by SCANA, we will mail certificates to you for the
whole shares along with a check for sale of the partial share.

     ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN BY
     PARTICIPANTS

     The terms and conditions of the Plan and its operation are
governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina. When you
complete and sign the enrollment form or the authorization form,
you are bound by the provisions of the Plan, any subsequent Plan
amendments and all actions by SCANA and the Custodian in
operation of the SCANA Investor Plus Plan.  This also applies to
heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of
Plan participants.

Item 15.      Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        The South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988, and the
Registrant's Bylaws provide for indemnification of the Registrant's
directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may
include indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").  Under Sections 33-8-510, 33-
8-550 and 33-8-560 of the South Carolina Business Corporation Act of
1988, a South Carolina corporation is authorized generally to
indemnify its directors and officers in civil or criminal actions if
they acted in good faith and reasonably believed their conduct to be
in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal
actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was
unlawful.  The Registrant's Bylaws require indemnification of
directors and officers with respect to expenses actually and
necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense or
settlement of any action, suit or proceeding in which they are made
parties by reason of having been a director or officer, except in
relation to matters as to which they shall be adjudged to be liable
for willful misconduct in the performance of duty and to such matters
as shall be settled by agreement predicated on the existence of such
liability.  In addition, the Registrant carries insurance on behalf of
directors, officers, employees and agents that may cover liabilities
under the Securities Act.  Finally, as permitted by Section 33-2-102
of the South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988, the
Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that no
director of the Company shall be liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary duty as
a director occurring after April 26, 1989, except for (i) any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve gross negligence, intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) certain unlawful distributions or (iv) any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

Item 16.      Exhibits.

        Exhibits required to be filed with this Registration
Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index immediately following
the signature page.  Certain of such exhibits which have
heretofore been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and which are designated by reference to their exhibit numbers in
prior filings are hereby incorporated herein by reference and
made a part hereof.

Item 17.      Undertakings

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1)  That, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

        (2)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement to include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.

        (3)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

        (4)  To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

instruments, by engraving, lithographing or printing thereon such seal
or a facsimile thereof, and such seal or facsimile thereof so engraved,

for all purposes, as if such corporate seal had been affixed thereto by

                        ARTICLE III
                  STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS

     Section 3.     Except as otherwise provided by law, by the Articles
of Incorporation as the same may be amended from time to time, or by
these By-Laws as they may be amended from time to time, the holders of
a majority of the shares of stock of the Corporation issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the
stockholders for the transaction of business.

     If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at
such meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote
thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the
power, by a majority vote of those present, to adjourn the meeting from

Section 8 of this Article III, shall have been given or waived.

     Section 4.     At each meeting of the stockholders each stockholder

except as otherwise provided by statute, no proxy shall be valid after
expiration of eleven months from the date of its execution.  Every proxy
shall be dated as of its execution and no proxy shall be undated or
postdated.  Every holder of record of stock having voting power shall be
entitled to one vote for every share of stock standing in his name on
the books of the Corporation.  The vote for directors and, upon the
demand of any stockholder or his duly authorized proxy, the vote upon
any question before the meeting shall be by ballot. All elections shall
be decided by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of the shares
entitled to vote at the meeting of stockholders and, except as otherwise

charge of its stock transfer books shall, in advance of each meeting of
stockholders, prepare a complete list of the stockholders entitled to
vote at such meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, which list
shall be arranged in alphabetical order with the address of and the
number of shares held by each stockholder.  Unless the record of
stockholders kept by the Secretary or agent of the Corporation having
charge of its stock transfer books readily shows, in alphabetical order
or by alphabetical index, the information required to appear on such a
list of stockholders, such list of stockholders shall, for a period
commencing upon the date when notice of such meeting is given, and in no
event less than 10 days prior to the date of such meeting, be kept on
file at the registered office of the Corporation or at its principal
place of business or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar,

request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors, or at the
request in writing of holders of ten per cent or more of the shares of
stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at
the proposed meeting.  Such request shall state the purpose or purposes
of the proposed meeting.

     Section 7.     Business transacted at all special meetings shall be
confined to the objects stated in the call; provided, however, that if

the Corporation may be transacted.

     Section 8.     Notice of annual meetings of stockholders and notice
of any special meeting of stockholders for the election of directors or
for any other purpose, unless otherwise provided by statute, shall be
delivered personally or mailed, not less than ten nor more than fifty
days before the meeting, to each person who appears on the books of the
Corporation as a stockholder entitled to vote at said meeting.  In the
event of the adjournment of any meeting of stockholders, for whatever
reason, for 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be
delivered personally or mailed not less than ten nor more than fifty
days before the date for such adjourned meeting to each person whose
name appears on the books of the Corporation as a stockholder entitled
to vote at said adjourned meeting.  Any such notice may be either
written or printed, or partly written and partly printed, and if mailed
it shall be directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on
the books of the Corporation. Such notice shall briefly state the
business which it is proposed to present or to submit to such meeting.

shall own at least 100 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation. 
Except as otherwise provided by statute or in the Articles of
Incorporation, the term of each director heretofore or hereafter elected

annual meeting following his election and until his successor shall have
been duly elected and shall have qualified.

     The vote of at least 80% of the shares of stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote shall be required to remove an incumbent member of the
Board of Directors except for cause.  "For Cause" shall mean fraudulent

the Corporation and shall be established after written notice of
specific charges and opportunity to meet and refute such charges.

By-Laws expressly conferred upon them, the Board may exercise all such
power of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are
not by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-Laws
directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.  A
director or officer of this Corporation shall not be disqualified by his
office from dealing or contracting with the Corporation either as a
vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any transaction or contract of
this Corporation be void or voidable solely by reason of the fact that
any director or officer or any firm of which any director or officer is
a member or employee, or any corporation of which any director or
officer is a shareholder, director, officer or employee, is in any way
interested in such transaction or contract, provided that the material
facts as to such interest and as to such transaction or contract are
disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee
and noted in their respective minutes, or to the stockholders entitled
to vote with respect thereto, as the case may be, and that such
transaction or contract is or shall be authorized, ratified or approved
either (1) by the vote of a majority of a quorum of the Board of
Directors or of the Executive Committee, or (2) by a majority of the
votes cast by holders of shares of stock entitled to vote with respect
thereto, without counting (except for quorum purposes) the vote of or
shares held or controlled and voted by, as the case may be, any director
so interested or member or employee of a firm so interested or a
shareholder, director, officer or employee of a corporation so
interested; nor shall any director or officer be liable to account to
the Corporation for any profits realized by and from or through any such
transaction, or contract of this Corporation authorized, ratified or
approved as aforesaid by reason of the fact that he or any firm of which
he is a member or employee, or any corporation of which he is a
shareholder, director, officer or employee was interested in such
transaction or contract.

                        ARTICLE V
                  MEETINGS OF THE BOARD

stockholders for the election of directors, the Chief Executive Officer

annual meeting of stockholders, and place as shall be specified by the
Chief Executive Officer.  The Secretary or other officer performing his
duties shall give notice, either personally or by mail or telegram, to
each director not less than four business days before the meeting,
provided, however, that no notice of such meeting need be given if all
of the directors are present or if those not present sign waivers of
notice either before or after the meeting.  In the event that the Chief
Executive Officer shall fail to call such meeting within 10 days after
such annual meeting of stockholders, as aforesaid, the newly elected
Board shall meet at the registered office of the Corporation, in
Columbia, South Carolina, at 2:00 p.m. Columbia, South Carolina time, on

otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the Articles of
Incorporation or by these By-Laws.

adjourned to any other time at the same or any other place by a majority

quarter of the calendar year and, in addition thereto, each such
director shall receive such compensation for each meeting of the Board,
or of any committee of the Board, which he shall have attended, as shall

the Committee.  The Board of Directors may by vote of a majority of the
full Board fill any vacancies in the Executive Committee.  The Executive
Committee may, from time to time, subject to the approval of the Board
of Directors, prescribe rules and regulations for the calling and
conduct of meetings of the Committee, and other matters relating to its
procedure and the exercise of its powers.

     Section 3.     Other committees appointed by the Board shall cause
to be kept regular minutes of their proceedings and in general the
provisions as to procedure for such committees shall be that set forth

Vice Presidents, a Secretary, a Treasurer and a Controller, none of whom
need be members of the Board.

     The Board of Directors, at any meeting, may elect such additional
Vice Presidents, and such Assistant Vice Presidents, Assistant
Secretaries, Assistant Treasurers and Assistant Controllers, as it shall
deem necessary, none of whom need be members of the Board.

     Section 3.     The Board of Directors, at any meeting, may elect or
appoint such other officers and agents as it shall deem necessary.  The
tenure and duties of such officers and agents shall be fixed by the
Board of Directors or, in the absence of any action by the Board of
Directors so fixing such tenure and duties, the tenure and duties shall
be fixed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or by such
officers or department heads to whom he shall delegate such authority.

     Section 4.     The salaries and compensation of the officers of the
Corporation and of agents of the Corporation appointed by the Board

meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and
qualify in their stead.  The Chief Executive Officer may be removed at
any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of a majority
of the total number of directors then in office.  Any other officer or
employee of the Corporation may be removed at any time, with or
without cause, either (a) by vote of a majority of the directors
present at any meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is
present, or (b) by vote of a majority of the members of the Executive
Committee, or (c) by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or
by any officer who shall be exercising the powers of the Chief

not been transferred or otherwise disposed of by such applicant in any
manner.)

     Upon completion by a stockholder of the requirements set forth in
