'p Best County Float In. Palmafesta Gets $500 Prize Chance to Advertise County's Resources in Columbia During Big Festival Week, April 17 to 22 STATE-WIDE INTEREST IN QUEEN CONTEST A prize of $600 for the best county float entered in the big Palmafesta Parade in Columbia next month has just been announced by James G. Holmes, parades chairman. The Palmafesta Parade will be made up of three sections, practically three parades in one, the floral parade, trades dis play, and county floats. The big parade will be headed by the Queen's float and followed by the section devoted to county floats. This division will be in charge of Jas. M. Green, Jr. "The idea," says Mr. Green, "Is to give each county in South Carolina a chance to bring before the people of the entire State some outstanding features of its resources, history or commercial prog ress. Last year's float parade was witnessed by thousands of people from all over the State and was carried to every section of the country as a part of the Pathe Weekly moving pitcure news. The advertising to be secured in this way being well worth the effort even if the $500 prize be left out of the consideration." Commercial secretaries or clubs wishing to enter coun ty floats are requested to write Mr. Holmes or Mr. Green. Forty-five South Carolina counties are now actively engaged in local contests to secure the candidates for Queen of Palmafesta. The local queens will feature in the big parade, each county queen taking the promin ent position on her county's float. Richland, the home county, will of course put up no candidate for Queen, but will furnish attractive mieids of honor to grace the Queen's float in the big parade. As usual, all expenses of the :ounty queens, such as railroad fare, accommodations and entertainment for the week will be pid by the Palmafesta association. The grand prize for Queen of Palmafesta is to be a diamond ring valued at $500. The commercial and industrial exhibits at Palmafesta this year will be nore varied than ever. The big steel building at the State Fair grounds is low being decorated and arranged to accombdate several hundred different lisplays and already well over one-third of the available space has been spoken fo- . The Palmafesta program, an elaborate affair of 200 pages, is low in course of preparation and will contain pictures of the county Queens md interesting reading matter relative to each county in the State. A dozen active committees of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce are tow busily engaged in carrying foreward the plans for the gala week and ad litional funds have been raised to bring to the Capital City the best stellar .ttractions the country has to offer in the way of musical stars, high-class raudeville acts, bands and other features. The style show will be one of he most elaborate affairs ever put on in the South, a fire works display cost ng several thousand dollars will be the feature of the opening night. Clarendon County is coming to the front this week, several candidates' tame having been handed in. Clarendon has as many beautiful girls as any ounty in the State and it is now up to our citizens to get a hustle on and nake one of our young ladies the queen of the State.

CAMP FIRE GIRLS GO TO SUMTER Cars were assembled Monday after noon March 13th to carry the camp fire girls over to Sumter to hear the National Secretary of Camp Fire Girls, Miss Kempthorne lecture. We left Manning at 3:30; when we reached Sumter Miss Kempthorne had not arrived so we were at leisure for about one hour. When six o'clock came we met Mrs. Kempthorne at the Imperial Hotel with smiles. She gave us a wonderful talk and showed us beneficial articles from all over the United States, which were very in teresting to us. , Miss Kempthorne after making her talk bade good luck to the happy groups of Camp Fire Girls. The Camp Fire Girls of Manning are grateful to Messrs Bagnal, Weinberg, t and Prince for taking us over there;( and for making the time so pleasant. < -Contributed. t SHERIFF J. E. GAMBLE GIVES FISH SUPPER c Sheric J. Ed. Gamble entertained the court house officials, the local bar and Judge S. W. G. Shipp with a (e- 3 lightful fish supper at Martin's Lake t last evening. In all there were seven- c teen to partake of the Sheriff's hos- 1 pitality, and it goes without saying e that they enjoyed the feast. Fish d were plentiful and the stew and fry t was cooked to tempt the most delicate r appetite. After supper the crowd sat ii around the big fire and told jokes for v about an hour before leaving for n home. These jokes were great, the most of them we had never heard, but c as our memory is not very good we s cannot reproduce them. .Judge Shipp, v who is presiding at this term of court, i was "one of the boys," and seemed to c enjoy the antidotes gotten off by the ti speakers, especially "Skit" Wideman's t) composition on "the bird." We might u reproduce this composition for the d benefit of our readers but fear "Skit" it has a copyright on it, and he may sue ti us for a half million damages. Sheriff v Gamble has the thanks of the crowd v for the magnificient lay out. s< PAXVILLE W. C. T. U. HOLDS GOOD MEETING tl A very interesting meeting of the b Paxville W. C. T.

MINERS ARE TOLD TO @lT WORK APRIL 1 United Mine Workers of America Issue Formal Call for Suspen sion of Work NO VIOLATION OF LAW Union Officials Insist. on Orderly Procedure Being Followed at All Times Indianapolis, March 31.-Suspen ion of work by all union coal miners tt midnight March 31 was ordered to lay by officers of the United Mine Workers of America, the call being he first ever issued by both bitumin us and anthracite workers, to walk ut simultaneously. Six hundred housand men will be directly affected y the order, it was estimated official y. The suspension, the order provid d, will continue until stopped by un (n officials. The order which was sent to the The order which was sent to the ,000 local unions, directed the miners o give the operators their fullest co peration in the protection of mine roperty and counseled against viol nee and violations of the law. In ad ition to affecting all union miners in he United States, the order also di ected approximately 6,650 union men 1 Western Canada to join in the malkout, but did not apply to 14,000 liners in Nova Scotia. Never before in the history of the oal industry has a suspension or trike order called for cessation of 'ork by all union miners in the inited States. In the past wage antracts in the bituminous and an racite fields have not expired at le same time, but a complete tie p) in union fields was considered uring the great anthracite strike 1902. A sympathetic strike by le bituminous miners at that time as rejected by the union's con ention, it being argued that the >(t-coal workers were bound by a mitrnet. The issuance of the call came with 1e recent strike vote of soft-coal imers not completely tabulated, Lit it was said officially that the ork of the union's board of tell 's had progressed to such a point to show every field voting over helmingly in favor of suspension. dications were that nine-tenths of we miners favored the walkout.
