Hoyt is chairman, as the proper Democratic executive committee of the State. However well the last convention may have reflected the sentiment of the State, and however hearty would have been the decision of the people, to have a new executive committee and a new con stitution, if they had been asked to decide upon it, the fact remains that the people were not asked this question, and the delegates to the convention were not elected by tlie people for the purpose of deciding this question. Therefore, the convention had no rigid to elect a new committee nor to adopt a new constitu- 1 tion. Had the people without regard to j tlie call of the executive committee de-! cided that they wanted the late conven tion to elect a new executive committee, such action would have been proper with out doubt, hut tite delegates were not elected with such intent, and had no such power conferred upon them.

Smith was a North River gteamfflf. The vessel was equipped here as a gunboat and started Soutli under the command of Lieutenant F. S. Conover, of South Amboy, and with officers and crew recruited from this neighborhood. After the capture the vessel’s name was changed to Stono. She was as luckless for her captors, how ever, as for her original owners, for upon her first trip under her new name she tried to run the blockade, and, with a cargo of «otton onboard, she went ashore and was destroyed on Sullivan’s Island beach. Major Lucas lias asked Mr. Andrew to interest himself in the chance of recover ing a pocket Biblctakenfrom the Major’s father, 15. S. Lucas, in February, 18fi5, probably by somebody in Sherman's ar my. The book has a silver clasp, on which arc engraved the owner’s name and the inscription, “Given him by James Ray, 1815.” The book had accordingly been fifty years in the old gentleman’s possession when some soldier laid cove tous eyes on it. It contains records of family births, marriages and deaths, anil on that account chiefly is it valued. Mr, Lucas senior is now 86 years old, and longs for his Bible. His son is hopeful that the interest in war days and in ev erything relating to tite soldiery now oc casioned by the Grand Army reunion may enable Mr. Andrews to hit upon the Bible. Major Lucas will pay charges If it can be found and forwarded to him at Society Hill, 8. C. Ifo is a member of Strict Observance Lodge of Masons of Charleston.

On page 10 of the Premium List of tlie State Agricultural and Mechanical Socie ty for the present year, will be found the offer of Premiums amounting in the ag gregate to $500, for the Counties making the host display of County Products, to be shown at the Fair November 10, 1890. The requirements are: “To the Coun ty making tlie Best and Largest Display of Products grown or produced by resi dents of the County. Pentiums will he awarded as follows: 1st Premium, $250; 2nd Premium, $150; 3rd Premium $100— In all, $500. All Grain must he shown in quantities not less than one-half bushel. The Judges making the award in this con test, will consider first, Quality; second, Quantity; third, Variety; and fourth, Ar rangement. Articles for the County dis play will not count in the Individual Premium.” I keg that you call special attention to this feature, and urge your County to be a competitor in the contest. Aside from tlie money involved, County pride should stimulate our farmers to enter heartily into tlie matter, and thus show the pro gress of Agriculture in our State. I take it that the most effective plan would he for the several County Allian ces from the Sub-Alliances, tocanvass the matter at an early day, and thus become organized, so that by the first of Novem- bereachCounty will be abletoknow what will be shown, and at what Railroad Sta tion shipments will he made. Railroads require prepayment of freight, but upon its return to the original point of shipment, with the Certificate of the Secretary that tlie same had been on ex hibition, the amount will he refunded.
