Fire guts abandoned trailer on St. Helena A fire gutted the inside of an abandoned trailer on Land's End Road late Wednesday afternoon, according to Lady's Helena Fire Department Chief Clayton Ellis. The owner of the trailer died three years ago and the trailer which had an apartment built on to it has been empty ever since, Ellis said. The cause of the fire is still under investigation since there was no one living in the trailer and it had no electricity, Ellis said. The blaze began between 3:30 p.m.

TV station to broadcast from Lowcountry area By ANDREW MILLER Gazette staff writer A new independent television station serving the Lowcountry will be broadcasting from Hardeeville, a spokesman from Hilton Head Television Inc. said. WTGS, airing on Channel 28, will begin service sometime in September, John Bailee, president and general manager of Hilton Head Television, which owns WTGS, said. "We're aiming for September 1," Bailee said in a phone interview today. "All the equipment is in boxes, and we haven't started to unpack yet." The studio and the antenna will be located nine miles from Hardeeville, Bailee said.

Bailee is the general manager of WAWS: Channel 30 in Jacksonville, and plans to begin work on the station sometime in late June. WTGS will be a "typical independent' Bailee said. But he added the programing for the station would be a little different than other stations he has managed in the past. "We're going to have fun with this station," Bailee said. "We're going to have some killer movies with very few cuts in the movies.

The cottage, she said, "was never lone of our most -visited sites" but the number of visitors slipped in 1976, when the neighbor-ing concrete buildings were converted into a minimum-security prison. In 1980, when the medium-security prison was added, the number of visitors declined from about 1,000 to 400, she said. Gambino, whose wife was the caretaker of the cottage for 43 years until she died last October, said: "People ask what I'm' going to do and I don't know what to tell them.

I'd just as soon die here." Department of Correctional Services spokesman James Flateau said the house will be used for prison administrative offices. The country's 18th president, Grant served two terms from 1869 to 1877. He was elected largely on the strength of the fame he had gained as commander in chief of the Union army in the Civil War. As a president, however, Grant was regarded as a failure. His administrations were plagued by graft and corruption.

"I don't want to bombard the viewer with a zillion commercials," he said. "This is going to be a station for the people in the Lowcountry. We don't care what the people in Los Angeles or New York like. We only care about what the poeple in the area think and WTGS is expected to carry children's programming in the afternoon and mornings, but is not expected to air any news programming.

Prime time will be taken up primarily with "killer movies," Bailee said. The station will have 5 million watts of power and is expected to be able to reach as far north as Charleston and as far south as Florida, Bailee said. This will be the third independent station that Bailee has started. The other two were WPTY in Memphis, Tenn. and I WAWS in Jacksonville.

Bailee said the station will be looking for local people to run the station, and said he expects to have about 30 job openings.

Robinson pointed out that he wasn't in favor of charging senior citizens either, but added that the increase in sanitation fees would net the town about 11,640.

Port Royal citizen Helen Foster questioned charging small businesses $12 for garbage pickup when at least one business, a local craft shop, has less garbage than most single-family homes. Drawdy said businesses couldn't bag up garbage and truck it to the nearest dumpster for less than $12 a month in fuel costs.

The town's general fund budget of $514,310 includes paying one additional employee in the public works department. The revenue sharing budget of $81,000 includes the purchase of a new garbage packer and the purchase of a $10,000 microfilm system for the town administration. "After we get this microfilm system we'll have no more paper records," Drawdy said. "Some of our paper records have deteriorated to the state where you can't read them."

ket, his private secretary was accused of taking bribes from whiskey distillers and several politicians, including vice president Schuyler Colfax, were implicated in a graft scandal involving construction of a national railroad. After leaving the White House, Grant traveled around the world for two years. Then he lived in New York City, investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a fraudulent banking business that collapsed in 1884 and left his family destitute. That's when his friend Mark Twain convinced him to write his memoirs; another friend, Joseph Drexel of Philadelphia, offered him use of the Mount McGregor cottage. Grant, who knew he was dying, worked feverishly while at Mount McGregor.

"I fear the worst the day the general completes the book," his doctor said after one visit to the cottage. Three days after finishing the manuscript, a feeble Grant, who could no longer speak, died. The memoirs, the first by a president, were published by Twain's publishing company. The two-volume set eventually earned the Grant family nearly a half-million dollars.
