county and her citizenship.
He spoke of the harmony that had always
existed, and how tbe people
from time to time gather together and
with one accord work for the upbuilding
of the county and the betterment
of her citizens. Mi\ Efird took this
occasion, he said, to again thank the
people of Lexington county for the
mauy honors they had thrust upon
him; that he had never asked the people
for anything that they did not
honor him with their suffrages.
The first business before the convention
was the election of temporary
officers. Dr. W. T. Brooker, of Swansea,
was nominated, the rules suspended,
and he was elected by acclamation.
