At a meeting of the county dele'

gation held yesterday aiiernooii iur
the purpose of selecting men to
constitute the county dispensary
board, the following were agreed
upon: D J Epps, Kingstree; Theodore
Gourdin, Salters, and R E
Tarte, Cades. The gentlemen will
be recommended to the Governor
for appointment.
The suggestion of our "White
Oak" scribe anent the coyness of the
candidates in announcing themselves
is apropos and timely. It costs no
more to "come out" early than at
the eleventh hour. Five dollars for
the round trip in both primaries,
and a man who has not faith in himself
to believe that he will get in the
second primary should he fail to win
out in the first, should not enter the
race at all. In politics, as in most
everything else, self-confidence is
more than half the battle.
Last Friday the local high school
baseball team defeated Lake City on
the latter's grounds in a very interesting
game by a score of 7 to 3.
The feature of the game was the
all-round good playing of the locals,
who fielded without an error and hit
the ball at a terrific clip, bunching
hita when they meant runs. Batteries:
Lake City?Eaddy and Matthews;
Kingstree?Cook and King.
There is a game scheduled on the
home grounds with Lake City Saturday.
The local team will play the
Greelyville team at that place tomorrow.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD-COMMITTEES
NAMEDTO CANVASS
TOWN AND COUNTY.
Under the auspices of the Kingstree
Board of Trade a most enthusiastic
and harmonious meeting was
held at the court house Tuesday
night.
It was a meeting of representative
A A. 1
citizens trom town ana county arm.
we believe,the most important of its
kind that has ever been held by the
local Board of Trade,since its object
dealt with a proposition of far
reaching importance to the town,
and of more vital interest to the
farmers, merchants and people generally
of the entire county. The
meeting was called by the Board of
Trade to discuss the possibility of organizing
a county fair association
and holding an exhibition here during
the fall of 1914.
The meeting was called to order
at 9:00 p. m, by Mr Thomas McCutchen,
acting chairman. C E
Saint-Amand. Esq, was chosen secretary.

Hon R N Speigner.
On motion of Mr E C Epps, the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the progress of
Williamsburg warrants an effort to
hold a county fair during the fall
of 1914; that the natural resources
of the county are equal to those of
any county in the State and superior
to many; that it is the duty of our
citizenship to collect, exhibit and
advertise these resources;
Therefore, be it resolved, That
organization committees be appointtfilrp
the stens nec

essary to the establishment upon a
successful basis the effort of holding
such a fair.
On motion of Mr P H Stoll, a
committee of three was selected to
canvass the town and ascertain what
the town would contribute in the
way of a proper site for the location
of the exhibits, etc; also a commit'
tee of twelve was selected to canvass
the entire county and solicit its
1 citizens to meet at Kingstree at an
' early date for the purpose of forming
