Great Automobile
!. Display
Parade of Decorated Automo
biles and Trucks the Feature
of Fair Week

IN the past two or three days there
has been great deal Of enthusiastic
interest shown by the ladies of Sumter
in the automobile parade on next
Thursday.
There will be a long string OF beau
TRULY decorated automobiles and
trucks In this grand parade. Already
there are number OF ladies decorat-
ing their cars. They all are keeping
their cars hid out so that no one will
get chance to see them. or copy their
idea.
large number have inquired
about where they car get decorative
material. The committee has gone to
big expense to bring here a. pro-
fessional decorator who is willing to
help you decorate or offer suggestions
as to decorating the cars. ....
Mr.. K. p. Rhea Of the Washington
Decorating company is here and is
located at the John Clack Realty Co.
Mr.. Rhea will remain here until after
the fair. He has a vast amount Of
decorative material here Of every sort,
which includes bunting, artificial flow
ers of every description, crepe paper
and streamers. Those who are going
to- decorate their cars themselves
should get in touch with Mr., Rhea.
Those who want to secure his SER
vices aid turn their cars over to him
to, decorate should speak to him at
once as he will likely have a big lot
of f.work to DO and in order to get the
cars ready in time they should see
him at once. = .'. ..
The committees is disappointed in
tA6tsthcre are so few business concerns
that have indicated their intention of
putting in" the parade Commercial
cars or floats. The greatest crowd
that Sumter has SEEN In many a day
Will be here and somebody is going
TO miss a great opportunity to get
some wonderful advertising at a small
cost. And do not overlook the fact
mat there is cash prize for the best
showing made 5y decorated truck or
hoat amounting 10 two hundred and
fifty dollars.
The parade viii! be in two divisions
each headed by big brass band. The
decorated private owned automobiles
headed by big band will form the
!rst division and another big band
VIII head the second division which
will consist Of the decorated CONNER
cial cars or floats.
1t is said that the biggest crowd
mat Sumter ever saw will he here
next Thursday to see the, big parade
and all the free attractions that have
been provided. The big parade will be
on Thursday November 18th and will
form at the monument on South Main
street and begin to move promptly a.
IL o'clock. The hour has been
changed from 3 o'clock so that the
crowd may see the fair and automo-

British Labor Combine.
Transport Workers Trying to
Unite in One Big Union

London. Nov. 10.--A ballot will be
taken within the re2t few weeks to de-
eide whether all the workers who are
now affiliated with the Transport
Workers federation, except the sea-
men, shall be drawn together in one
big union.
The three urh hons of seamen are
taking ballot Tor or against a sepa-
|ate amalgamation. Leaders of the
Sedertion have told The Daily Mail
mat the scheme for single union
Will be adopted sooner or later.
When this comes about the new
Transport Workers union will take
ank with the National Union OF Rail-
waymen and for the first time the
Triple Alliance (miners, railway men
and transport workers) will consist of
three solidly organized bodies each
with a central executive possessing
full authority, subject TO the decree of
the national delegate conferences, to
act on behalf Of the whole organiza-
zion.
The newspaper points out that it
does not follow that the suggested con-
of power would increase
the danger of a combined strike which
would hold up all the vital services of
the country. If great industrial cri-
sis affecting the whole alliance did
reach a final stage of deadlock, a Joint
stoppage would undoubtedly be ia
Cilitated. On the other hand expert
cnCe Of the working Of the alliance in
the few years OF its existence has
shown that the greater the power
welded the greater is the sense Of re-
Sponsibility created on both sides en-
gagged in dispute, says the paper.
The single Transport Workers
union would include lockers, canal
workers, dock Warehc usemen, motor
drivers bus ana tr;smway employees,
carriers and so on
