COUNTY BOARD TO HEAR PETI
m
TheCoun f y Board of Education
ha$ had presented to it a petition
from certain of the patrons of the
Young’s Island school district, ask
ing to be cut off, thus forming a new
district to be known as the Meggetts
School district. The Board has ap-
pointed Friday. September 16 to
c »nsider this petition, at which time
a hearing will be held.
B<*nding Colleton County for the
purpose of building better roads is
to U» one of the live questions till it
is done, or voted down, and perti
nent to a discussion of this matter,
the following extract from a speech
made before the North Carolina
Press Association and Good Roads
Association, by, Dr. Joseph Hyde
Platt, State Geologist, will be found
pertinent: ^
• * Personally I believe that the best
way to raise funds to carry on good
road construction the quickest and
to the best advantage is foy the
counties and townships to issue bonds
for this purpose. The issuing of
•bonds by the county will mean but a
very small iflerease in taxes, which,
H ,Leon as t ^ ie Jears 80 ^- v ’ W *N ^ more an d
more counterbalanced by the increase
other tax-
to the im-
Thtre ha-t l>een a vast am *unt of
work done at the grounds of the
Colleton County Fair Association
since their purchase in the early
summer. The first thing done was
to dig up the pine trees and have
i, IsUndton.! them made fnto lumber, and this
tt. w:u , no iSrna ;; j u b. The logs wire
auwed by Savage’s mill, making
about 30,000 feet of fine lumber,
ihe stumps were thei buried to get
them out of the way, and the land
grubbed.
The next work was the building
of the fence to enclose the grounds.
, This is a hoard fence nine feet high,
: projecting board* two ftpt. higher
|on which there will be two strands
! of barbed wire, making the ft nee 11
feet high. Thus protected there
.vill be no free entrants at the-
Fair this fall. There was considera
ble comment after the last Fair as to
the number of persons who climbed
over the fence and entered free, but
Jr., j the number who beat this year can
probably be counted on the fingers
of pne hand.
The work now engaging the atten
tion of the superintendent is the
claying of the quarter of mile race
track, This was laid off by C. E
DuRant, the well known young
civil engineer, and is elliptical in
form, occupyin@/the front half of
the grounds. The work of claying
this has been under the immediate

pleased that he has secured an cjf-

This exhibit will be brought here
from the State Fair, and will be
very complete. In addition to the
regular line of farm exhibits. Presi-
dent Brown has been requested to
have an abundance of unbaled hay
on the grounds to he baled by the
machinery of the company free of
charge. The association would like
therefore, to have as many farmers
as have hay to bale to bring it in,
so this machinery can be kept busy. *

for distribution and will be sent to
anyone wishing a copy. This book
