(The Greenville News, April 15.)

(The Greenville News, April 15.)
Preparations for the entertainment
of the Elks of South Carolina at their
convention here May II and 1s, made
further progress yesterday afternoon
when complete convention organiza-
tion was perfected at meeting of
the general committee from local
Elks club and the Greenville Chamber
Of Commerce.
Plans are going forward to make
the convention here next month the
most successful state gathering ever
held by the Elks, and one of the most
enjoyable. Many interesting features
are being planned. All indications
now are that there will be 1000 or
more Elks and visiting friends of the
order in the city during the gathering.
Convention headquarters have been
opened in room No. IL over Kenny's
coffee store, and under the direction
of Ben Granger, details of the coming
event are rapidly being put in shape.
Preparations are being made by
the local Elks to publish in coopera-
tion with The Greenville News an
Elks' Booster Edition, which, it is ex-
pected, will surpass anything of the
kind ever issued in South Carolina.
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
committees were named to take
