QUEEN OF N AT FELTIVAL Each day that passes finds more interest and enthusiasm manifested in tb* great May Festival which will be put on Monday, May 3. d. under the auspices of the Walterboro Civic League. . A brief history of the League will serve to explain the magnitude of the work undertaken and the mar velous success which is assured. The society for civic improvement was organized a year ago with a membership of sixteen. Very little was accomplished until two months ago the society was re-organized with a membership of thirty-six. and immediately there seemed to be a resurrection from apathy, and the most profound interest was display ed in the combined ftoral, trades and agricultural celebration proposed by the president. The idea is a novel oire in that it combines the features of a fair only in the form of a parade. > The extremely handsome prizes of the keene-t interest in town while four silver loving cups for dorai, 1 th e j.i an - ; .. s Hre on the Quivive for trades exhibits, the best drilled competition in the contest for the among the local millitary and the rnoncy p: :z s of $25.00 in gold and best horse back rider have aroused ; in gold for the best farm ex- hi hit in the parade. Besides the floral there will be several attractions booked under young orator, will l»e introduced by maids of honor with their partners Mr. John W. Hammond, and besides makingji**oration of the day will present the prizes 10 the winners. The plans have been in progress only a few weeks and yet the most ; minute details have been perfected. Mr. Louis Padgett, president of the County Farmers’ Union, was ap pointed by the president of the Civic League, as chairman of the out of for the position to which she has been elected. She has announced her maids of honor aa follows: Misses Arline Sanders,, Mamie Stokes, Helen Lucas, and Emma Tracy. Tim will be little Ifiai Ruth Lucas, attractive daughter of Mr. and F. J.
