The anti-Communist crowd gathered in front of the dance building, i Vnown as "Workers' Mall" or "Red Hall." an hour before the dance was to start Men and boys in the street began throwing stones through windows while li."> Communist workers cowered within. When the crowd advanced upon the building those within Med through a rear door.

There are numerous assurances ti;at motor transportation I* In for It* greatest year. Moat substantial Indication baa been the record sale of i new automobiles In the > laal six month*, the total for ttiIh state being 75 per cent ahead of the correspondIng period lit 1938. South Carolina rank* as the foremost state of the nut Ion In new ear sales, according to recent national indices. Another sure barometer Is the sale or 1940 license plates by the state highway department. Sales through November 10, according to A.. W. Bohlen, director of the motor vehicle division of the department, totaled 214000 vehicles, or 20,000 more than for the same period In 1938. On top of these statistical evidences are the indications that the tourist truffle this year will bo heavier than any since the boom years preceding the depression In 1929. Tourist resorts In the state are expecting record numbers of visitors.? The European war has caused thousands of Americans to remuln on this sldo of the ocean this winter, and travel Hlgns all are pointing southward. Florida Is looking forward to a half-bllllon-dollar tourist season?the heaviest In ten years. Harold Colee, president of the Florida state chamber of commerce, reports that traffic already is 25 per cent above that a year ago despite the fact that the real season does not get under way until December. He forecast a Florida Influx of 2,600,0^0 during the season. The normal winter (ravel to Europe takes 4o(i.000 Americans abroad, most of them among the wealthiest of travelers. In addition to the stay-athome policy of Americans this season, general business Improvement over the nation Is going to add to the tourist movement. Few of the millions who go to Florida from the east and north miss passing through South Carolina. Heretofore most travel has been through the low country, but the Piedmont area Is expecting greater traffic this year, feeding from the Smoky Mountain section which Is due to attract many visitors enroute southward. Last month "Palmetto Progress" published confident predictions from Charleston. Camden and Aiken tourist authorities that the new season would be a banner one. Since then other newspapers of the state have investigated tourist possibilities for the state and all have found that every sign points to a prosperous period. The Charleston chamber of commerce rates the tourist business as the city's major source of income, and the flow of money into the state is general as the tourist automobiles move through, stopping for gasoline and other automobile supplies, meals and often for several days oi sightseeing. l)o/en- of small South Carolina communities )ta\e nourished as stopping points lor tourists and as the tug resorts- prosper so do the stopping points in their proportion.
