Making It Warm for Bootleggers. i Some of tin* officials are making it warn, for bootleggers. Following the capture of the car well loaded with whiskey on Broad strict last week by Police Officer Barnes, the rural police were not without their catch. Three white men from Char lotte, X. C., were placed in jail Sat urday charged with transporting whiskey. Two of them are married men and one a youth of 11) years. But the catch did not stop here so we learn. Several local bootleggers were captured we understand. Of ficer Cole chased a car suspected of being loaded with whiskey out of town, and reports ^re that the car was wrecked near Kershaw. The of fice rs who are making an effort to capture the bootlegegrs, and who are capturing a number of them , deserve the moral support of all law abiding citizens. The 111-year-old youth from Char lotte was released yesterday after being given a preliminary hearing, it being made to appear that he was making his way 1/ack home from Charlotte and happened to get a lift in a car that was transporting whis key, and was tin refore the victim of circumstances.

In a colorful setting and accom panied by stately pageantry. Miss Harriet Whitaker of Camden, a jun ior at the university, was last night crowned Carolina's queui of the May, the beautiful ceremonies taking place in the field house before a large aud ience. Unusually attractive and lovely, Miss Whitaker was a charming pic ture as Ur. I). M. Douglas, president of the university, crowned her in be half of the Carolina student body which saluted her as queen. In spite of the inclement weather, the crowd filled both siJts of the field hcuse before the ceremony began. The coronation was of great interest throughout the state, and drew numb ers of persons from nearby towns to I witness the affair that was so well planned by the university social cabi net, sponsor of the election and Ma\ day festivities. The coronation was another chap ter in the social life of Carolina, i which each year becomes of greater importance and outstanding intoreM I Dating back through the centuries , the ceremony has Invn one of particu lar importance in various countries and the affair at Carolina but follows the ancient custom, made richer by the charm that tradition has thrown around the univcisity, one of the old est colleges in America. j Powerful flood lights threw rays of brilliance on the white aisle down , the center of the court and on the stately throne that rested on a white-covered dais at the southern end of tlie field house. On either side of the .spot le>s walkway and up to and on the stage for the coronation palms lined the edge. Behtnd the rich old mahogany chair that has served as the throne for the queen for years, a great curtain of old rose velvet gav. j the scene a touch of royal splendor. I The lovely proce-^ton, led by Joe and Hilly Slyvan as heralds, entered from the northern uul of the spacious , field house. The two attractive lads were dressed in white satin suits with gold trimming and each carried a silv er bugle. From the moment they en j U red the audience applauded vigor oulsy in appreciation, and kept up the I intermittent applause throughout the march. | After the heralds had taken their , place on either side of the throne and j had sounded th? ir attempts, the Gamecock orchestra with "Buster" Spann as director, palyed soft music that was a signal for the maids to start. As the strains of the march swept out over the building, the 2G beautiful maids, co-students of Miss Whitaker, began thoir stately tr> ad toward the snowy dais. Nature played its "part in the affair as the patter of raindrops "overhead brought with it intermittent flashes of lightning that played in through the windows of the building, dark save forMhc huge floodlights on the scene. The maids, clothed in pietutesqu' organdy dresses of pastel shades and wearing silver simpers, entered in pairs, walking slowly down the aislt to receive the applause of the crowd as each appeared. In their arms Hiesr mauls carried bouquets of May flowers ? snapdragons, sweet peas, roses and carnation, *ach bouquet b? ing tied with tulle matching th i color of their dresses. Maids who took part were: Miss Frances Sparkman, Columbia; Rosal len Quattlebaum, Columbia; Elizabeth Jones, Columbia; Elizabeth Wingfield, Columbia; Bee McCarrel, Columbia*; Jewel Parrot, Bishopville; Martha Pegram, York; Elizabeth Heyward, Columbia; Daisy Lee Powell, Colum bia; Elizabeth Thompson, Laurens; Bernice McBride, Florence; Flori do G^ntt.

Thelma Carlysle, Martha Mllhous, Georgie Fishburne, Kowena Jones and Miss Catherine Cantwell of Columbia. After the maids had taken th< ir t'lat (? oil either side of the dais and throne to form a colorful wing, little .Misses Josey Carroll and Laura \\ ertz. the flower girls, in dainty or gandy frocks followed the maids car rying baskets of roses. The littn girls were particularly lovely and 'played a fine part in the affair. | Miss Thelma Smith, maid of honor, preceded the queen, tftking her place just to the right of tin- throne. She wore a dress of apple green satin a'ld carried in her arm* pink roses. ( all I) \\ hitaker, .'Ird, of Camden, I nephew of Miss Whitaker, was crown bearer. He was dr<ssed in a suit of white satin, and carried the silver circlet on a white sutin pillow.

She car ried a boquet of white roses present ed her by Mrs. D. M. Douglas. Little Misses Elizabeth and Anne Whitaker of Camden, sister and cous in of the lovely queen, were train bearers, holding a gorgeous gown. When she reached the top step of the dais, Miss Whitaker knelt on. a satin pillow, and was crowncd as queen by Doctor Douglas in behalf of the uni versity. She immediately took her scat on the throne. Then came le of the most inter esting features of the ciremony when little Barbara Zemp of Camden and ?Josephine Griffin of Columbia did solo dances before the royal court. Kittle Barbara Zemp wore a dress of blue tulle with frilhd skirt and gave a fine exhibition of toe dancing. Miss Griffin, dressed in a gray georgette with loose skirt and wearing silver <lancing shoes, charmed the crowd with a lovely dance that drew a round of applause. She is an especially tal ented young dancer and was well re ceived in her number last evening. Miss Whitaker then led h^r entire | court in a procession down the aisle by which they entered and around the side of the field house, where a re ceiving lire was formed, and here many guests paid homage to the queen and her attendants. .lust after the short reception, the May queen and her entire court were I honored with the annual May day ball | j in the unive rsity gymnasium by the | social cabinet and the entire student I body of Carolina. The ball-room was decorated in spring colors and pres ented quite a magnificent scene for the dance. The Garmcock orchestra furnished music.
