of Your Valued Pat;
Hon. D. F. 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.

business is as good as can be expected
for this season of the year. The mill9
are not running on full time, which
makes it a little hard on the operators.
The attendance wa3 about up to the
average and the auditor was kept
busy. Our collections were not up to
the average.
As usual, it was our pleasure to dine
with Mrs. P. J. Wessinger and Mrs.
Ed. Shull. To say that we enjoyed
our stay with them, is expressing it
mildly. They are excellent housekeepers

five places, passing through the bladder;
another entered the arm and the
third the thigh.

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

and he was granted bail on Monday
in the sum of ?2,000.

the case of Daniel Roland against the
Southern Railway Co., in which t'e

take several weeks to complete the
job; but, however, When it is finished

the camp.
