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.

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.

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

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. ** .
