The corporation shall have nine directors, who must be appointed by the Governor, upon the recommendation of the Hampton County legislative delegation, who shall serve for terms of five years and until their successors are appointed and qualify. The board of directors has the power of directors under the laws of this State and shall elect the officers and employees of the corporation considered essential for the proper conduct of the corporation. The directors shall have specific powers, in their discretion, to contract, by lease or otherwise, for the operation and maintenance of the hospital hereinafter referred to. A vacancy or vacancies by death, resignation, or otherwise on the board of directors must be filled in the manner of the original appointment for the unexpired portion of the term."
