Cashier, | For a Greater County Fair. The executive 'committee of the Lexington County Fair Association met in the law office of Hon. 0. M. Efird on Monday with full attendance One of the most important actions of the committee was the election of Sam J. Leaphart as general superintendent. Mr. Leaphart has been assistant superintendent for some time. He succeeds Hon. Thos. L. Harman, who made a most excellent man for the place. The committee agreed tha-5 the fair grounds should be tendered the several schools the- county for the Field Day exercises in April, the bniidirg to be excepted of course. Hon. C. M. Efird, Col. M. D. Harmau and Heber R. Dreher were appointed a committee to look into the matter of changing the location of the fair grounds from the present site to a point near the Southern depot This committee is to report back to the executive committee at the earliest possible date. "-The secretary of the association wa9 instructed to advise all show people that their paraphernalia would be hauled to and from the fair grounds free of charge. This should prove a strong drawing card, and enable the fair to secure the best line of attractions ever seen at the Lexington fair. The secretary was authorized and empowered to get up the premium lists as heretofore, and to get them up in the most attractive form possible. xue iouowing special commuwcB were appointed: Finance Committee?G A Derrick, J S Oangbman, J C Fnlmer, A J.

Got. Manning Removes Board of Regents of Hospital for Insane* Governor Manning was prepared to , send to the senate before adjournment a special message in which he would make known his summary removal of the board of regents of the state hospital tor ine insane, this mes- j sage was written to state that Dr. Julius H. Taylor, of Colombia had. filed hie resignation as a member of this board, and it had been accepted. . No reason for the removal of ches regents was stated in the message, it: is understood. The board was composed of James A. 8umraersett, of Colombia, chairman; Dr. Taylor, A. H. Dean, of Greenville, J. D. Bivens and Prank R. Kunter. A new board will be named later by Governor Manning. Though this intended removal of the regents was subject to approval by the senate, it developed, when knowledge of the purpose of the governor became | known, that the senate would confirm such action. Governor Manning is authorized to take such action by provisions of Section S, Article 12 of the state constitution, and also by the provisions of the recent act of the legislature empowering the governor to reorganize the administration of the hospital for the insane by changiug the personnel of the board as his judgment should dictate. I The intended removal of the regents was described as the first of an expected general change in the officials of that institution. The Grand Theatre. We are pleased to state the fact that j The Grand, once popular for its j interesting moving pictures, vaudeville j and aumsing comedy features, has opened under an entire new management, by Mr. F. B. Glenn, a man of experience in the business. He promises a feature t-ieatre of quality for j people of retinement and amusements j for every one who desires to spend an hour or two pleasantly. The singing is classic and up-to-date. The parlor has been thoroughly renovated and*] made comfortable and attractive. V In Need of Seed. Commissioner Watson Saturday gave out t*i'& t olio wing: "Yesterdiy I received from one of the most reliable farmers residing near Eareka in Aiben coun y under1 date of February 18, the following letter: " . i. "'There are ten white families in this section who lost their crops from the hailstorm We sold off our nurp'os stock/ast Septemberaod bought small j grain to sow and paid something on ' our back expenses. We are to bo re- J lieved of our taxes and have gone ahead plowing our lauds, hauling out "compost, etc., but we have no seed ! Jt a _ . 1 . _ j. _ _ I auu wo want you 10 appiy to ine agiicultnrsd department in Washington, D. C.,ifbr seed to plant. We have no seed of any kind and v^ry little money to boy setd. We want cowpeas, sorghum car.e, potatoes, etc. Not a bushel of nubbin corn made here. We have been Buying corn f ver since last September. I am writing for myself and neighbois. I refer yon to any reliable man in Aiken.5 "la vi8w of the contents of this J letter I have presented the facts of j the case to the proper authorities in j Washington, but I doabt very much ? if anyjj^p will be forthcoming fiom \ that source. I therefore wish to appeal j to any and all in the state who are j willing to aid these unfortunate families either through contributions of money with which to buy seed or by contributions of seed of any kind to notify me at once. Money contributions may be sect in in the form of cash orchecks and 6 i acknowledgement-will be made , the public press of each! contribution. Those desiring fcopontnbcte seed, which is preferable, nArhattiL shonld notify me first of their . contribution and then await notification as"tO the address for shipment as it wonll be unnecessary to send the 'material to Columbia first and wonld entail additional expense. I trust that the response of the people of the state tothiexaH for help will be prompt and i^ramtial. The call for help issued lift summer in behalf of those who sufl|&r8d in the York hall district was eucBas to be of material benefit . to the gffererg. I feel that this case I earneafcly appeal to all farmers or seed dealers who can contribute seed to ?o to the aid of these people. ** . .' ? j : Fearless Alma is Here.
