Now the two new members of the Board of Agriculture have been removed. This, in the words of Governor Walton, " means a change in the Presidency of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of this state." The Governor explains that he acts " for the protection and safety of that institution," for the security of the schools of the state and to place the Farmer-Labor movement " in the hands of those...
