They Had No Such Authority,
[Columbia Heed'd.]
It would he highly proper ami com
mendable if tlie Irby committee would
resolve of itself to recognize the regular
State Democratic committee, of which
Col. 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.

Before the war tlie Isaac P. 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

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.
I will be pleased to furnish a copy of
the Premium List to all who may apply
