Efird Elected Secretary State Fair. The friends of the Hon. D. F. Efird? and they are legion?will learn with interest and pleasure of his election to the important position of secretary of the State Fair association. This is a splendid tribute to the ability and worth of Mr. JGfird, coming, as it did, entirely unsought on his part. Mr. Efird has had a most remarkable career in connection with the association. Many years ago?the first time he ever made an exhibit ao the fair?he entered a mare and her colt and came back home $<K> to the good, having 'on all the premiums in sight. The following year he was made superintendent, of the horse and mule department, and^ was also made a member of the executive committee, a position he has held ever since. In ' " i-i-. 1 j tne management; or ine norso anu mule department he displayed wonderful judgment and it was not long before he was made general superintendent, which office he held at the time of his promotion to the position of secretary. That he will "make good" in his new position goes without saying. The Legislature. The South Carolina Legislature is now on the homestretch and but a few more days remain of the 40-day session. An adjournment was taken on SatI urday until yesterday at noon in order | that the members might be at their homes on the first Monday. The members from Lexington have been in regular attendance upon the sessions, and have gotten in some right good work. Perhaps one of the most important ' matters is"the fixing of the corhm(Station road tax at ?2. This i9 yery important to our people, and in our opin- i ion, is a wise step on the part of our | representatives. Tne idea is to nave everybody pay the $2 tax in lieu of working the roads. Mr. Edward >' bill providing for the erection and maintenance of a freight and passenger depot at Ballentine's, in the Fork,'will pass. Dr. Ridgell has introduced a bill 1 in reference to the bringing of damage suits against corporations. This bill should become law. It would mean a saving of hundreds of dollars to the taxpayers of Lexington every year. Senator Crosson's bill to establish the office of State highway engineer, to define his duties to fix his salary and to appropriate money to carry out the proyisions of the act, will come up in the senate today. 27ew Srookland.

Gantt, also white, at Swansea on Saturday a week ago, died of his injuries in Kuowlton's Hospital, Columbia, on Friday morning, after the most intense suffering, it is said. It wa3 known from the beginning that the wounds would prove fatal, despite the best surgLal aid possible. One ball punctured the intestines in five places, passing through the bladder; another entered the arm and the third the thigh. The body was carried to Gilbert on Friday where the burial took plac^ at Salem church on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The deceased is survived by a wife { and eight small children. The trouble leading up to the unfortunate difficulty is hard to obtain and a3 no inquest was held, nc thing has been given out by either side. Young Gantt, who surrendered to the sheriff Bon Friday, has employed the Hon. W. H. Sharpeto defend him, \ and he was granted bail on Monday in the sum of ?2,000. Court Prooeodings. The court of common pleas opened on Monday morning with the Hon. R. C. Watts presiding. Clerk of the Court Frank W. Shealy had the dockets already arranged and the court opened without delay.

The chaingang will shortly move from Piatt Springs township to the Augusta road, to complete the gap that has not been clayed. It will take several weeks to complete the job; but, however, When it is finished the chaingang will be moved to the Fork, where it will remain during the summer months. It is said that there are now more than thirty hands at the camp. Books Will Close. The Auditors books will close on the 20th of February.
