Good Time In Store For
Palmafesta Queen from Pickens

Inc Club women of Columbia have
just organized to act as hostesses To
the Queen candidates, and are making
every preparation to give them the
pest time possible. And, of course
the men are making their own prep
aratlcns too. We have been asked
to keep the many good things in
store fer the young ladies dark
secret for while longer so their
surprise may be complete.
The Palmafesta Association has
received numbers of lettcrsIrom for
mer Queen candidates expressing
their unusual pleasure last year and
they are unanimous in saying, "It
was the best time l ever had" Queen
candidates have the best seats al
ready reserved for them at every
stage performance at Palmafesta.
They will see the spectaular fire
works display, the gorgeous exhibit
of wearing apparel at the style show,
will hear the beautiful music of bands
and opera star now being engaged
by the chairman of the entertainment
committee, Mr.. L. l.. Propst, who is
in New York with the determination
to secure the best star irrespective
Of the expense or trouble. There
viii be dinners, dances, balls and
what will be the most beautiful of
all events--the Queens Coronation
will be enacted by the Queens them
selves, arrayed in the court fincry
which characterized the coronation of
the Queen Of England in the days Of
chiva!a'y and Knight Errants.
Do the girls of South Carolina
want to be at Palmafesta? Interest
is running high all over the State.
Girls want to enjoy this good time
and there is the $500 diamond ring
awaiting the fortunate girl to be
chosen Queen of Palmafesta. Last
year the contest was close. Up to
the very last minute dozen or more
of the young ladies had practically
the same number of votes. Who
knows but what this county will be
