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 chargg of Jas. M. Green,' SJr. "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 progress. Last year's float parade was witnessed by thousands of people from all over the State and was carried to every sectidh of the country as a part of the Pathe Weekly moving picture news. The advertising to be secured in this way being well worth the "effort ever* if the $500 prize be left "out of the consideration." Commercial se'creretaries or clubs wishing to entt* county floats are requested to write Mr. Holmes or Mr. Green.

Incidentally he* leads the, i greatest offensive . baseball- -club the . . game has produced, the Tigers finishing the season last year with, a team batting average of .316. Perhaps it is . not altogether a coincidence that the 1 man who has so many years wdre'the 1 crown of batting champion should A have the greatest offensive machine; for as a manager Cobb is reyolutioniz- 1 ing the system of managing teams just * as he revolutionized the playing end ' of the game. As a manager Cobb is given credit for creating a new offense in baseball. 1 also a new defense,and he is putting hislG years of big league experience and superiority to the other great stars of. the game into practice as a manager. Just as he used different tactics at bat, ran bases differently , and .fielded, differently, he is teaching his players to do so. And just as baseball witnessed startling changes in the sty)e of individual play in the past 15 yfears and had to change systems to cope with it, it is now witnessing these changes and in a whole ball club which is doing much to develop ( individual players and revolutionize ( the game. Nobody much had heard of Heil-mann as a player or as a battfer until he became a protege of Cobb. Today Heilmann is the batting king .of (the American league and the superior of Ruth in distance hitting, ami is a living proof of the falacy of the big-bat , bugbear; for although the California \ bear is as big if not bigger than Ruth, ^ he uses one of the lightest bats ever carried to the plate by a baseball player. In the hands of the Titanic Heilmann his half pound b.ai ?re- ^ sembles a willow wand when compared to Ruth's 56 ounce wagon tongue, ^ but ndUUuaJiltle bat-Heilnuum drove , a ball more than 600 feet last year, besting Babe Ruth's best which has ( never reached 600 feet. Heilmann is the fust right-hand batter since Lajoie to lead the American league in hitting. , Another player who will be on hand that day who makes a different bid for attention is Fred Merkle of bonehead fame. While always a natural player Merkle really baseball's hall of fame on two common omissions ^ which, unfortunately wfere 'Very costly, one losing a leugue penant and the other a world's championship. .

Cafth payments on overdue Centenary subscriptions will be solicited on "Wofld Sunday" and during the following week a churchwide" canvass will be made to secure the payment of arrearages.

Immediately after the first in- f testation of the cotton pest in the i western cotton area the dairy cow took up her important work, bringing 1 a sense of relief and continued pros- * perity to the devastated areas and re- ( lieving the distressed conditions re- t suiting from cotton failure. Starting 1 at that western point she has follow- 1 ed the pest east and now is within the * ? borders of South Carolina directly in e the recent path of the weevil. In- f deed, the cotton belt is not the only s instance of her relief work, so to ' speak. History tells us that she is * following the wheat section in the f same manner. t New York, long a one crop section?wheat?now has resorted to the c dairy cow and she has retrieved that r great state to the extent that it is ? now the ranking dairy state of the c Union.
