The phrase "turned turtle'', a
fatal one to automobilists, has gained
a new significance in connection
with Dr Friedman's life-giving serum,

Our idea of a considerate physician
take3 form and substance
in the person of a California
medico, who, after his patient's
demise, presented his bill to the j
estate for $23.") for professional services.
When asked why he had
not presented the bill during the
life-time of the patient, the doctor
replied that he was afraid it
would have caused the sick man's!
death from heart failure.
A County Fair.
Editor County Record:?

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

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 ?>

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.

I Kinder, LeRoy Lee and Edwin L

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

; 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.
