KINGSTREE'S FAIR
A GREAT EVENT,
SPLENDID EXHIBITS AND MANY
' OTHER ATTRACTIONS DRAW
DELIGHTED CROWDS.
The third annual exhibition by
;he Williamsburg County Fair asso
nation opened here Tuesday morn- j
nf>: and so far everything has pass?d
off successfully, although the
;arnival people have experienced
lome delay and a lot of extra hard
vork in getting their heavy cars
ind machinery into the grounds
rom the unloading point on the raiload
near the site of the old depot,
ill due to the sand beds through
ehich they have to be hauled.
The train bringing the carnival-- j
Smith's Greater Shows?arrived
Sunday. The big elephant, "Miss
Sandy," was a part of the aggregaion,
though she was not in the best
f condition, having been attacked
>y a case of colic before leaving
larion. Her popularity, however,
vas undiminished by her indisposiion,
for nearly every small boy in
own and most of the grown ups
aid their respects to her Sunday
ifternoon. Monday morning this
'queen of the jungle" was little, n
my, better and her keeper deemed
t advisable to summon assistance,
thereupon Dr Kelley and Mr P 0
^rrowsmith were called; they adninistered
to "Miss Candy" and
ater in the day she was able to perirabulate
over the big field north of
he administration building, and is
oday apparently enjoying good
lealth
The merry-go-round, the Ferris
vheel, and a field full of other atractions
have been set up and are
iow in full swing to a liberal patronage
day and night.
Yes, the third annual fair of the
>eople of Williamsburg county is gong

seasons since its inception. The
xhibits are fine but not as numerous
n some departments as last year. A
lumber of our most successful farm*
rs, some of whom exhibited their
iroducts last year, have nothing
here now. The same is true of the
I
oultry and live stock departments,
Jthough there are on exhibition a
lumber of splendid horses and cattle,
md some fine chickens, as pretty as
ver graced an exhibition pen. The
[uack, quack, quack of the ducks,

juineas put the finishing touches to

Mr Hugh Cooper, probably worn by
this well-known gentleman when he
was six or seven years of age; there
are two hand-forged silver teaspoons,
made over 150 years ago by a Kingstree
blacksmith named Isaac Pattersen;
a small Testament from Egypt
bound in wood from Mr Olivet; a
small gold ring over 100 years old;

made from a button of an old time

grandfather of Mrs Edwin Harper;
a furlough from the Confederate
service, given to the late Capt J J
Steele on May 1,1864; an old helmet

by Miss Beulah Nelson. Among
the many other rare and quaint looking
articles of the good old long ago
are wedding and party dresses,laces,
one piece hand-made by a Russian
princess; dolls, spinning wheels, sivverware,
bric-a-brac, etc.
In the art department there is a
splended display of pictures and
articles of interest to a connoiseuer
in this particular line.
The schools having exhibit bootks
were Wayside, Union High, Earles, (
Salters, Kingstree and Mulberry, i
Union winning first honors for its i
display, and Kingstree second. The
display of class work by the pupils
of each of these four schools is highly
creditable to teacher as well as
Btudent in the various lines of work
shown and show the great improvements
that are taking place from
year to year in the public school
rooms of the county.
In the way of field crop exhibits,
there is to be found a magnificent
collection embracing a little of everything
from the lowly cabbage to
kingly corn; peppers, pumpkins and

The household department, in
