COUNTY FAIR Ex. COM.
REPORTS PROGRESS.
CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS
ADOPTED--SEVEN COMMIT
TEEMEN RAISE Sf.016.

The executive committee of the
Williamsburg County Fair associa-
ton met in executive session at the
court house Monday and took the
first definite steps to launch coun-
ty fair in Williamsburg this fall.
The committee on membership made
a most encouraging report and suf.
ficient money has already been SUBJ
scribed to give the movement good
financial backing.
The committee appointed to draft
a constitution and bylaws made its
report, which was adopted. The as
sociation will hold it's first fair dur
ing the week beginning October 19.
A committee was appointed to ar
range for buildings, grounds and all
necessary accommodations for ex-
hibitors and visitors. I
Possibly the most interesting dis
cussion durin the meeting was in
regard to tn privileges connected
with life mer oership. The commit,
tee finally de; ded that life member
ship entitled the holder to free &C.
cess to the grounds at any time dur.
ing the fair, with the further priv
lege of bringing in one lady with
him.
A committee was appointed to
arrange and compile a premium list
and to have the same published as
early as possible.
One day during the fair will be
known as School Day, ,and the depart
ment of education for the county
promised interesting exhibits, floats
and parades of school children.
Each member of the committee
was earnestly requested to secure as
many members as possible for the
association, and, judging from the
interest manifested Monday, the sue
cess of Williamsburg's first fair is
assured. The farmers are already
preparing to make exhibits, and the
exhibits and displays made during
the fair will be a splendid advertise
ment of the wonderful resources OF
the county.
PROCEEDINGS OF MEETING IN DETAIL.
The meeting was called to order
at $50 D. m. by President W E Ne
smith, and the minutes of the last
meeting were read and approved.
The secretary read the report OF
the committee appointed to draft a
constitution and bylaws, which re.
port was slightly amended and
adopted upon the motion of Mr. Thos
McCutchen.
