This committee presented the following resolution: "Resolved, that this committee of citi^ns appointed to look' into the . aa lability and plajis for the estab- i lAiient of the Pee Dee Fair association in Florence recommerd that ^the whole matter be turned over to ,?he Chamber of Commerce to take i ; the effort in charge and make such j % arrangements as it deems best to raise the amount of $50,000 for the establishing of said fair association." The committee took the position |t tbat the Chamber of Commerce had ^"^the organized machinery to take hold of the effort and push it, and for this reason should have charge dk ! of the work. 1 K After some discussion the resolusr tion was adoDted and accepted by | the chamber. Following this a comI mittee of three was appointed to v make arrangements for the begin^ ning of the active work. This committee was empowered to formulate such plans as it deemed necessary to carry the work along successfully. The plan suggested comprehends raising a sum of $50,000 and the location of the fair in Florence, since this city is the central point of the great Pee Dee section. Work in the matter of stock solicitation will begin in the next few days, and Florence county will be thoroughly canvassed before going into the other counties of this section in the interest of this splendid effort for giving impetus to agricultural development.

December 4:?The hot supper at the Indiantown school house on the night of November 22 was a success financially as well as socially, something over one hundred dollars being raised, which was applied to the artesian well. Mr and Mrs Tom McCutchen of Kingstree spent Thanksgiving here and enjoyed the hospitality of their brother, Mr D E McCutchen. Mr and Mrs Philip Arrowsmith of Lake City passed through Indiantown Sunday going down to spend the day at Rome. Dr C S Patrick, Jr. and Dr William Klatte of Charleston spent the Thanksgiving holidays with Mr R H Ervin, coming up Wednesday* morning and returning to the city on Saturday. The people of this community no doubt were pleased to nee in Thursday's "State" an announcement of the schedule that is to become effective from December 2 on the new road just completed from Hamlet,N C, via Mullins, to Georgetown. .

In a fit of despondency Mr Watson had wandered off to the spot, where he had often studied Greek with a classmate, and drank of a deadly potion. r uuuwmg a strarcn lasting uiruugu Friday and the greater part of Friday night, one of the, university students came upon the prostrate form cf the young man in a patch of woods on the Augusta road. The alarm was sent in to the university and immediately the college bell was set tolling, carrying the sad intelligence to searching parties throughout the surrounding country that the body of the missing man had been feund. , The Coroner was notified of the finding of the body and, after making an investigation, ordered the corpse removed to an undertaking establishment, where it was prepared for shipment to the young man's home in Horry county. A brief service was held in the chapel this afternoon by President Edwin M Poteat, of the university, after which the body was borne to the railway station followed by the students of the university and the fitting school in marching order. Wlntbrop College Notes* Winthrop College, Rock Hill, December 2:? We have an organization at Winthrop known as the "Correspondence Club". The members of this club, one from each county, are appointed by Dr Johnson. It is the duty of each girl to write from time to time to her county paper for the purpose of keeping the people interested in what is happening at Winthrop. Ai the student body has increased so much in the last two years, it has become necessary to enlarge the infirmary and auditorium. This work has been commenced and is rapidly going forward. It will be of interest to the people of South Carolina to know that the English grammar writcen by Dr Jas ' Kinard, head of the department of English, and Miss Withers, an instructor in the training school, is being used as a textbook in Shanghi, China. On next Wednesday, "Knapp's Agricultural day" will be observed by most of the schools and colleges in the State. We have arranged an ; interesting programme, Mr L A Ni- j ven being the orator of the day. Mr 1 Niven was formerly agricultural teacher here and we will be delighted to have him speak to us on that day.

Miss Vic Hamilton of Dillon visit ed Mrs Jrl s blizzard last week. Mr S C Caldwell spent Thanksgiving: with his parents at home. Miss Bertha Morris very charmingly entertained on last Friday ev- \.l ening, complimentary to the Lake City,1 school teachers. Progressive games were played, after which delicious salads and sweets were served. * t On last Monday morning about one o'clock, fire was discovered in i :ij the rear of J D King & Co's tobacco sales warehouse. The flames had made great headway when discovered and in a very few. minutes the adjacent prizeries, the property of Mr J D King, were also consumed by the flames. The origin of the fire is unknown. There were about forty thousand pounds of tobacco totally lost in the fire, while the warehouse and prizeries had some insurance. This is the second fire within the last month originating in and destroying two of the largest ware houses in Lake City, and occurring at the same h6ur and on the same day 01 tne wees, mis is very singular,and it is hoped that if this was done in a spirit of malice or revenge, the guilty parties will be apprehended and severely punished. P H A. Mr. Fairy Go?sto Walterboro. Rev William Arthur Fairy, who for the past four years has been pastor of the Kingstree Methodist church, was appointed by the Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, on Monday . last to the pastorate of the Walter- j boro Methodist churcn. ine appointment is very satisfactory to Mr Fairy .since,according to the rules of his church,he could remain in Kingstree no longer, although his congregation and host of friends here give him up reluctantly. During his pastorate here Mr Fairy and his good wife have endeared themselves to the people of the community regardless of sect or creed, and their prayers and best wishes will follow them into their new field of labor. As pastor of the Methodist church here Mr Fairy has been an able and ? ? ^ as a ?t 1/in rr emcieni minister, aim no a oLimiuit, example of his untiring energy and indefatigable will he leaves his congregation with a handsome new house of worship?the equal of any in the Conference. Mr Fairy and his family will leave Kingstree about Thursday of next week for their new home. Rev D A Phillips, who comes to Kingstree in Mr Fairy's stead, is a man of charming personality and an able and earnest worker. He has served some important charges in the South Carolina Conference, among them Manning and Winnsboro, and comes to Kingstree from Richburg, in Chester county. He . will not remove his family here till after Christmas. 5 Notice. The county Farmers' Union will meet on December 17 at 12 o'clock in the court house at Kingstree.
