Columbia, March 21.-With only this week intervening before the opening of Palmnfestu (March 28 to April 2,) all Columbia 1B buBy in the work of drea?ing up for tho big week of social gaiety, at Which time she will be the hostess of thousands of people from every section of tho State. For weeks the decorators, float builders, social organizations and business interests of the Capital City have been preparing for the cel ebration which, it is said, will eclipse anything of its kind ever held in the Sou tn, not. excepting (ho famous New Orleans Mardi Gras. More than $35,000 ls being spent in various amusement features planned for the week; $10.000 has been spent, in Ut ting up the Steel Building at the Stale Fair Grounds, where the Auto Show, "Style Review, Trades Display and the crowning of the Palmafesta Queen will be held. With tho "primary elections" for Queen candidates closed, and the most popular young women chosen to represent each of the 4G counties, interest now centers on the selection of the Queen of all the State beauties -the most attractive and popular young woman in the State. This se lection will be made in Columbia during Palmafesta, each admission ticket to the fair grounds entitling tho holder to ono vote for Queen. The 45 candidates will be Introduced to the audience dally from the stage of the Fashion Review Auditorium, so that a personal selection may be made. Voting for tho Queen will close on Thursday, March 31st, at noon, and the crowning ceremony will take place that evening. The Queen's grand ball will tal:o place at the Jefferson Hotel ball room Friday evening, April 1st. During the week three mammoth parades will pass through the streets of Columbia, led by the world-fam ous Scotch "Kilties" Band; the baby, parade on March 3Otb; the Floral parade on March 31st; and tho Trades Display parade on April lat.

A room registry is being conducted by the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, and there will he am ple accommodation for all In the many restaurants, lunch rooms, ho tels and cafeterias, where nothing In advance of regular rates will 'be charged. AutomobilQS may be park ed within the fair grounds and will be looked after by special attendants nt a rasonable charge. CORRECTION OF STATEMENT. E. I<. Hcrndon, Esq., Points Out Wherein Wo Were in Error. Walhalla, S. C., Mar. 19, 1921. Editor Keowee Courier: My attention has been called to a local in last week's Issue of The Keo wee Courier, as follows: "Last Saturday afternoon, after the inquest before the coroner was completed, Mrs. Della Cantrell, who was before the Jury on an invstlga tion in regard to the Anding of the body of a dead child, which Mrs. ! Cantrell wa? alleged to have dis posed of by throwing into a swampy place a short distance from the high way while on an automobile drive, and which was admitted by her, she was released from custody, the Jury being unable to find any evidence tending to show that the child was alive when born. The case attracted considerable interest locally." Tho facts stated in this local are grossly erroneous, unjust ^to Mrs. Cantrell, and dangerous. 1. Mrs. Cantrell never nt any timo appeared before the coroner. 2. Mrs. Cantrell never at any time made any admission as stated in this local. 3. No witness who testified bofore the coroner's Jury testified that Mrs. Cantrell made any such admission. I represented Mrs. Cantrell as at torney from the beginning to tho end of this matter, and I ask that you mako this correction in justice to her." Yours very truly, E. L. Ilorndon.

FIRE AT SALEM MONDAY NIGHT Dew tro y c<l Property Estimated to bo Around $10,000 In Value. Word was received In Walhalla yesterday to the effect that at about 1 o'clock Tuesday morning or mid night Monday lire was discovered in the building at Salem which housed machinery for the cotton gin, grist mill and pinner of B. S. Childrens, and the entire plant was totally de stroyed. When the Aro was discov ered lt had already gotten such head way that absolutely nothing could bo dono toward saving anything from the building. Ninoteen bales of cotton storod un der the shelter nt the gin wore a to tal loss. Six of these belonged to John Fowler, of tho Stamp Crook section, the others being tho proper ty of farmers in the neighborhood, who had loft it there after being ginned. A largo quantity of ?ead was also destroyed. Two automobiles, ono belonging to Harrison Littleton, tho other to Crate Tow, were destroyed, as was also an auto truck belonging .to Mr. Childress, John Woods lost a two-hot so wa gon and a buggy that bad boen left under shelter on tho premisos. Tho building destroyed was used for many purposes, ono of those be ing that of a garage, lt was by rea son of this fact that the cars wore destroyed, they having boen loft nt this piont for convenience of tho owners. Estimates of tho total loss vary, some estimates being as low as iivo thousand dollars, while others think the loss will approximate noaror dou hlo that sum when tho losses of tho various ones aro flgurod up. .Mr. Childress is a heavy loser, and he has many friends throughout the county who will sympathize with him in his misfortune. We were unable to ascertain what amount, if any, of insuranco was carried on tho building and contonts.

This matter of ignoring important, matters is tho cause of my disagree ment with the postal officials. I struggled along under all manner or difficulties during tho war and have been publicly insulted by the de partment, salary was kept so low that I scarcely met living expenses,, car was operated over tho most un safe road In the country, between, steel passenger coaches and the en gine. After this had been done over six months I stated the department had ignored my reports, as the mat ter had the special attention of the chief clerk on the second day of Ita operation, and I had made the sit uation a matter of special attention. For this statement I was charged? f>00 minus points for making a false statement. Your records will show* the statement was correct. This 1? only a few of the false and unfound ed charges placed against me. Your department has ignored all my just; grievances and removed me under* false charges. This has been dene for political reasons, because I was not a jolly-fish and failed to bow down to unjust and false newspaper criticism. Tho penalty was removal,, but I am now so situated that I have* tho opportunity of cornering the? postal votes of this country for Americanism and a Republican ma jority In November.
