take long debate to settle that ques-

require great deal of time some steps
will be taken in that direction. The
passage of a General Election law,

accomplished after great deal of de,

increasing number of Republicans and

look upon the education of the colored

Attend the Meeting.

We made an appeal in our last issue
for reorganization of the Board Of
Management of the Cecil County Agri-
cultural Society, and stated at length
some of the reasons why radical
change should be made IN the policy
of the Management, if the successful
existence of the Society is to be expect
ed. 1t now rests largely with the Stock
holders meeting of whom will be held
on Monday next whether new life shall
be infused into the Association, by the
selection of an enlarged body of Man
ayers, composed of men who can be
reasonably expected to meet the neces-
sites of the situation. So far as the
demand for a re-org anization of the
MANAGEMENT is concerned, it does not
imply at all, any personal objection to
any member OF the present Manage
ment, but Is simply question of secu-
ring the best organization to accomplish
certain business ends, in which Inc ex.
lstance OF the Society Is seriously in
volved. As we Sid last week our
purpose is Iut to discuss details of
management, but to urge the necessity
of full attendance of Stockholders at
this meeting, for in all probability upon
the outcome of that meeting will de
pend the future prosperity of the Asso-
ciatlon. 1t would be a discredit to
the county to have the Society live on
a languishing existence. 1t has not
yet outlived the period of its usefulness
and it can be recognized for a future,
as successful as its past has been bril-
liant. We can only express the hope,
that the holders of the stock of the
Association will show their interest in
its welfare by personally attending the
meeting on Monday.
