COUNTY FAIR MEN
HOLD MEETING.
DATES FIXED FOR HOLDING THE
FAIR-BEAUTY SHOW TO BE
A FEATURE OF THE FAIR.
Last Saturday a nteeting of the
Executive committee of the Williamsburg
County Fair association was
held at the court house in accordance
with the announcement published
in last week's County Record.
Barely a quorum of the thirty-six
members was present, this to the
discredit of those who could have
been present and were not.
The meeting was called to order
by the president, Mr W E Nesmith. j
Mr R N Speigner, secretary, stated
briefly to the committee what had
alread^been done by way of preparation
for the holding of a fair this
fall. The old warehouse building
purchased by the association, he
stated, had been thoroughly repaired
and painted, 10 acres of land had
been enclosed with a substantial fence
and a good grandstand erected.
Upon the suggestion of the president
the secretary read an article
from the Charleston Sunday News
of August 8, in reference to the
Harvest Jubilee and the selection of
a beauty queen which promises to
be a feature of the State Fair this
fall. It was thought by the president
that a similar contest could be
successfully conducted in connection
with the Williamsburg fair. The
members of the executive committee
concurred in the adoption of a
plan to hold a "Beauty Queen" contest
and Mr W F Tolley was appointed
a committee of one to conduct
the "show". This was about the
only new local feature added to the
general programme, the main object
of the meeting being to determine
upon dates for the holding of the
fair this fall and the appointment of
special committees.
The dates fixed by th<? committee
for the holding of the fair are October
19. 20, 21 and 22. Tuesday,
19th, is to be designate 1 as "Everybody's
or Industrial Day;" Wednesday,
20th, "Agricultural Day;"
Thursday, 21st, "Educational Day,"
and Friday, 22d, "Colored People's
Day."
The following special committees
and their members were named:
Auditing Committee--C W Stoll,
C E Register, D E McCutchen.
Railroad Committee?T E Baggett,
W W Holliday, C W Boswell.
Information Committee ? B E
? . .. -".i - TT T7I *,1 .
Clarkson, G A Mcnaveen, n ?j Montgomery.
Automobile Committe r?PH Stoll,
L T Thompson, Thos MeCutchen.
Educational Committee?J G McCullough,
County Supei intendent of
Education, chairman.
Finance Committee?W E Nesmith,
Thos MeCutchen, F W Fairey.

S P Harper, J F McFaddin.
Advertising Committee?W F Tolley,
George A McElveen, J G McCullough.
Entertainment Committee?Hugh
MeCutchen, A C Hinds, LeRoy Lee,
M H Jacobs, J D O'Bryan.
It was the sense of those present
to hold a carnival in connection with
the fair and the president and secretary
were instructed to arrange for
same.
Rev A F B Harvy was appointed
to look after the interests of "Colored
People's Day" from the Taft
section.
The president and secretary were
authorized and instructed to appoint
one man in each township to collect
and arrange the agricultural exhibits.
Mr Speigner offered his resignation
as secretary of the association,
stating that he was so situated that
he could not give the position proper
attention. Mr Geo A McElveen
was chosen as his successor. The
meeting then adjourned.

) KENGSTREE BALL TEAM
Closes Successful Season with
Shut-Out Victory.
The last game of the series between
the Latta-Dillon combination
and the Kingstree team was played
here last Saturday and resulted in a
victory for the home team by a score
of 2 to O.the visitors having won the
two preceding games by close scores.
Saturday's game was fast and
snappy from start to finish. Field
work featured on both sides as well
the splendid work of the batteries,
Smith and Kite, for Kingstree, and
Rockenbrod and McCormick, for
Dillcn-Latta.
The game also marked the closing
of the 1915 season for the local
team, with a record of 31 games
won out of 42 played, or .738 per
cent. A majority of the members of
the Kingstree team remained over
to play a series of games against the
Lake City team Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. Only two games
were played, howeyer, both going to
Kingstree. I
It must be admitted that Kingstree's
ball team was one of the best I
amateur organizations in the State.
They were all comparatively young
fellows and were selected from various
sections of the State. The manager
of the team, Mr Fred Lanham,
perhaps the oldest player on the
nine, worked it up to a high standard
of proficiency, as is shown by |
the percentage of games won and
lost.
Unfortunately the majority of
teams playing the home nine here
were really not in their class. This
was realized by the fans upon seeing
the first eame of a series and then
they were content to remain away,
feeling "sure that the Kingstree
team would win." This was probably
well enough in a sense, but it
certainly did not tend to promote
the game here another season, or
help in defraying the expenses of
the players this season, and as a
consequence of this disposition the
season was closed just about the
time the players were at their best.
The association was going in the
hole.
A dispatch from Greenville says
the army worm -has invaded that
county in droves.and farmers report
crops damaged in every part of the
county. Clemson college experts
were rushed there to combat the
situation. Much anxiety has beeni
aroused.
