M v .v. | Williamsburg is,I think,very timely, and I desire to endorse what you have said as to the necessity of such an organization and the benefits that all the people would derive therefrom. I do not believe there is a county in the State that would derive more benefit from a county fair than would Williamsburg. A county that is to a great extent undeveloped and with great possibilities, such as are natural to Williamsburg, ought to endeavor to take some for-1 ward steps that tend to encourage those who are working and laboring I.'-. unKnil^innr nf tho pnnnH' ?nr? 1UI IUC u^uuuuiiift v* w??v WWMWJ I that would.at the same time, advertise our resources to the country at J large. It behooves the business men, farmers and capitalists of Williamsburg county, to get together on the line suggested in your editorial and perfect an organization that will make possible a county fair. All that is necessary is co-operation. We have everything that is needed to make the fair a great success,and if we but get together, the move ?> *- - j-ii-1 i ) meni; win oe successiuuy launcueu and successfully carried out, and to this end I suggest that a meeting be called at an early date to formulate such plans as are necessary to organize on a good business basis a county fair association.

Kelhhfi Oteds P^ot lor That Purpose to the Town. Hon Richard H keilahan yes1 riday conveyed L>\ deed cO Mayor LP I Kinder, LeRoy Lee and Edwin L j Hirsch.Esqs.to be known as trustees under the deed of conveyance, and to their successors in office, all of a certain parcel or lot of land in the town of Kingstree bounded on the north by lot of P H Stoll, Esq, east by Epps street, south by Kelley ! street and west by lands of the Academy Realty Co. The piece of land above described is located at the head of Academy street and for some time past has been undergoing improvements unJ on.l ,1iror>tinn nf UCi lilt" 9U|Jl"l > I3IUU <W1VJ MUVVV.oi. v? ; the Civic league with the object in view of converting the same into a park or recreation ground for the white children of Kingstree. The deed specifically says that the trustees shall accept and hold in trust the abc ,e described piece of land for the sole purpose of a park only for the white citizens of Kingstree, and i if it should be used for any other purpose the deed will become inoperative, null and void. The deed 1 further provides that in case any , one of the tru .ees mentioned should | die or resign, the town council shall appoint a successor. With its location and abundance * of shade trees and shrubs, the plot, which is about one acre in size, is : orimirahk- cnifpH fnr the numose for which it is given,and we feel safe in j saying that in making this donation to the town Mr Kellahan will have won the grateful thanks of every ' citizen of Kingstree. Last spring Mr Kellahan gave the officers of the Civic league permission to improve and use the premises as a recreation ground for children, and it was generally hoped, and believed by many at the time ; that later on Mr Kellahan would deed the plot to the town for a park. This hope has been realized, sooner, perhaps, than was expected. The Williamsburg Hardware Co hoc inst rpppivpfj the latest thins: in a 1-horse Cultiva'tor, and it will pay you to call and see it.
