The stockholders cf the Colleton County Fair Association met Friday for the purpose of considering the advisability of increasing the capi tal stock of the association from $2,000 to $5,000. The association unanimously e-greed to the proposed raise, and a committee of seven members was appointed to take up matter of selling additional stock This committee is composed of the following members: Col J. O. Pad gett, Chairman; G. C. Brown, E. T. H. Shaffer, M. P. Howell. W. W. 8moak, M. H. Hlott, and A. C. San ders. The decision to increase the capital stock was deemed r*ecessary as the association is in debt. The scope which the Fair has taken is much larger than was originally in tended by the corporators of this association. A tract of eleven acres of land was purchased on which he« been erected a cumber of handsome ex hibit buildings. A quarter mile track has been laid out and clayed; and a grand stand and several oth er smaller buildings erected. A very i/- conservative estimate of the worth of this property is $6,000.

In this he depicted what the future of the church would be. and in eloquent terms described some of the great work which is being done in the cause of the church in this latter day. Dr. H. W. Black wvi then introduced; who responded to the subject, “Bethel Methodist Church, a Retrospect." He. Black spoke feelingly of the rumber of leading lights in Methodism who have helped to make this church what it is. He wr« followed by James E. Peurifoy. whose subject was, “The Needs of Bethel Meth odist Church.” Mr. Peurifoy thought that more brotherly love, a more fraternal spirit, and greater Individual responsbility might be classed c« some of the greatest needs the church has at present. Col. J. Or Padgett, the next speaker responded to the subject, “Tl^, Board of Stewards." Col. Padgett stated tbrt no mere loipl body of men* could be gotten together than the Board of Stewards for Bethel Me'fhodUt church; a body of men who shrink from no effort or ex pense when the welfare cf their church is at stake. “(Mr Sunday School" was the subject cf the toi-?t responded to by W.
