ANCIENT ARABIC ORDER NOW
 IN SESSION AT SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-Trans- lage on the sands of the desert by the most elaborate scheme of decoration ever attempted for such an event, San Francisco welcomed the arriving hosts to attend the forty-eighth imperial ses- sion of the Anciant Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and also it's golden jubilee.
 Special trains have been rolling in all week and regular trains have contri- buted their quota. Saturday the height of the influx was reached and officials estimated by nightfall 100000 Shriners and 100000 visitors were in the city for the weeks colorful events.
 No expense has been spared to make the golden jubilee the most bril- liant and successful in Shrine history. More than a half million dollars has been provided for the entertainment of the visitors.
 Although the imperial sessions last but three days, the festivities in con- nection with them will occupy an en- tire week. The arrival of Imperial Potentate Ernest A. Cutts on a special train Sunday, accompanied by patrols of Alec Temple, Savannah, Georgia and Al Sihah Temple, Macon, Georgia, will formally inaugurate the weeks program. The other big event of the opening day is the annual national session of the Royal Order of testers.
 Joining in the civic welcome ac- corded the visitors, the great battle ships California, Pennsylvania, Mis- sissippi, New Mexico, Tennessee, Idaho, New York, Texas, Oklahoma and two divisions of destrOyers under command of Admiral Eberle, lay at anchor in battIeship row in honor of the great national gathering.
 A huge Shrine emblem on the ferry building greeted the visiting Shriners, flanked by two large minarets of the Embarcadero Huge Oriental rugs, hung between electraliers emblazoned in Shrine colors, formed a novel fsa- ture of the street decorations

Thursday with the State Campaign
party as staff correspondent of the
Greenville Piedmont, that thorough

paragraphs are excerpts from a story
by Mr.. Mcdowell in that newspaper

citizens of Kingstree as we'll as by
The County Record:
"The campaigners invaded Kings
tree Thursday and if the reader will
indulge this little personal touch, this
correspondent was in his cold home
town." Take it from us, it was great
to be back among the folks that used
to be our neighbors-folks for whom
there is still a great big tender spot
in our heart. Smiles and handshakes
that said better than words ever
could: 1--WE are glad to see you

folks and love are the most worth

among those who gave us the
glad handshake of an old friend was
w. F. Tolley, editor of The County
Record and one of the towns leading
citizens by reason of the fact that he
publishes one of the most creditable
weeklies in the state and because he
is one of the leading champions o1
civic righteousness in his community
"The old home town has changed
for the better since we left. The
streets are now laid with severa
miles of fine asphalt that has, trans
formed once muddy, bumpy or dusty
thorofares into streets Of the modern
city variety. Kingstree's streets are
on a par with any in the state and
it is safe to say that the amount
of street improvement done is as
great as that Of any town in the
state the size of Kingstree.
1--WE also found that the women OF
Kingstree had placed their names on
the Democratic club rolls in great
numbers, 100 Of the fair sex having
enrolled. The figure does not look
large but it is a high percentage
since the number of men voters who
enrolled was 460."
