FLEET WEEK NOVEMBER 1928.
Charleston Never Does Things by
Halves and Good Time Assured.

SudTlGStOU NStSE DOSS AhAAk0o W
Halves and Good Time Assured.
Charleston never does things by
halves, as is shown. by the way it
has taken hold of its county fair to
be held during the week of Novem-
Der Is to %. Reports coming from
the city show that not only will
Charleston have one of the greatest
county fairs ever held in the State,
but that in addition will have the U
S fleet of warships-thirteen battle
ships of the first class, and about
twenty-five or more cruisers, torpedo
boats and other auxiliary vessels.
The programme now mapped out
by the city for the entertainment of
the officers and men of the fleet is
of a most elaborate order. The COM
mittee in charge Of the programme
represents all classes of the commun-
ity, each man being a hustler. Gen.
orally speaking the entertainment
will consist of field sports, aquatic
sports, joint army and navy parades,
barbecue, oyster roasts, smokers,
balls, and fair ground entertain
fnents.
There is no city on the South At
lantic coast capable of entertaining
such a large fleet in its harbor as
the one that will visit Charleston
during its fair week. 1t will be an
occasion of such magnitude that ev-
cry South Carolinian should be proud
that its metropolis is capable of get
ting away with such an event which
probably not more than half dozen
cities in the United States could car
ry off f-none of the harbors being
deep enough or large enough to con-
tain such a collection of men of
war.
One of the most important events
of the week will be the army and
navy parade. 1t is expected that
there will he about ten thousand
men in line of march, including
thousands of blue-jackets from the
visiting ships, U S Marine corps, u
S artillery, Naval Reserves, the en-
tire militia of the State of South
Carolina, the Citadel cadets, the Por-
ter military academy cadets: There
will be more men in the several uni
forms of the different branches Of
the service of the State and nation
in that parade than ever have gath
cred together in any community in
time of peace, with the single ex-
ception of the Hudson-Fulton cele-
bration some years ago.
