THE GOOD OLD DAYS
AT DUE WEST

Judge William P. Greene, editor
of The Abbeville Press and Banner,
thrums a note of melancholy on his
lyre as he recounts in the latest is
sue his little pilgrimage to a haunt
of his boyhood, Due West, and rumi-
mates about the old-fashioned Frs
kline commencement. The old days
are gone" he laments, unconsoled
by this years commencement fea-
lures: the narrative of a returned
missionary from India and the SON.
orous eloquence of DR.. Joseph L.
johnson of the Federal bench, who
this year was admitted to the doc
torate of laws by Erskine, his alma
mater. In all the Greene memories
there is manifest an aching void; he
the custom of former time
and signs for a taste of the old-time
lemonade and fried chicken all in
the same breath.
Commencement at Due West used
to be a great occasion, he AYERS.
People Aocked to it from many
counties. "The old grove of pines
was so thick with mules and horses
and buggies and carriages and fried
chicken that you could scarcely turn
around. The town was full OF PEG"
.ple. There was generally a brass
band and the boys were there to fol-
low it"-including the future chron-
icler, no doubt, despite his tendency
of late years not to get on some
political band wagons. The lemon
ade stand was regarded as tone OF
the grandest institutions we have
ever SEEM" There people were wont
to "buckle on the the full armor of
Iprac;ousness," to eat, drink lemon
ade and be as merry as the sacros-
anct statutes of the town allowed.
1t was a seqestered vale of Joy where
annually met folks who did not wish
to drink too deeply of the Pierian
Spring but yet thirsted after a
draught.
Time has changed and Due West
along with it. The poetic stiffness
of its sylvan peace is rudely Jared
by the daily exit and entrance OF
the Limited. The contemptuous MOOT
of the motor horn disturbs the medi-
tations of the godly. At Erskine
commencement, according to the Alb
bevillian, is just as pleasurable as
ever but it isn't the same kind OF
enjoyment. The great crowd per-
haps, does not gather for the exer-
cises. The lemonade stand has given
way to the marble bar where slrupy
stuff is dispensed. Hospitality is as
spacious as in the good old days, out
is doubtless more formal. Ersklne is
more efficient than ever before. Due
West is "a quaint old town; it has
ways of doing things all its own, Its
people, they say are somewhat pro-
vincial, and look at things only

through their own glasses, but never
man lived who went there who did
not in his innermost self thank God
for Due West" is the fervent ejacu-
lation of Editor Greene.
The passing Of the old-style Frs
kline commencement is regrettable,
for it was a far-famed institution
ION a simpler scale, it was what class
day is at Harvard, Yale and the bet
ter New England colleges-the festi-
val at which multitudes assemble to
revel awhile in the academic atmos-
phere. Many Of us a syrhpathize
with the lament Of him who lauds
the past golden age. The Abbeville
editor declares that the commence
lment address was "greatly enjoyed"
but fails to mention the subject or
anything else about it, no doubt hav:

dreams and memories while the ora

FIGHTS FOR LIFE
BEERS AND WINES BEGIN FIGHT
FOR LIFE IN THE SENATE
TODAY.
Food Control Temporarily Has Been
Lost Sight OF in the Prohibition
Battle Now Ragin. In the
Upper Branch.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Beers
and wines today began their battle
for life on the senate floor. Their
whisky ally is already definitely van
auished by an overwhelming vote.
Food control temporarily has been
lost sight of in the prohibition bat
tie.
With the outcome uncertain. hope
of food control by July l has been
abandoned. Opposition to the hill it
self has almost entirely vanished,
but in it's place has sprung up violent
antagonisn to its dry amendment.
Senators who would favor the food
control bill will vote against it On
account of the LIQUOR clause, Mary
who oppose prohibition under guise
of food control legislation now VIII
attack the measure. Others will as
sail the dry amendment prohibiting
beer and hiquor manufacture, but
placing the life of wines in the pres
ident's hands. as discriminatory"
Must need / paint the picture,
Senator Lewis of Illinois asked. "of
the rich youth seated at a cable with
fine champagne and lady and the
young man fills her slipper and lifts
it to his lips. while outside the labor
ing man finds it impossible to have
his glass of beer?"
Were it not for the strong. war
drouth" sentiment, it Is probable thG
"wets" would attempt to laugh
the prohibition amendment 70 the
food bill off the measure. AS 1t is,
they are rallying amendments OF
every scope and description. some OF
which will prohibit candy, chewing
gum and other luxuries on the same
ground as liquors and beers because
they are luxuries manufactured from
foodstuff.
The battle promises to be at once
spectacular, violent and extremely
funny. But behind it all, the food
control bill is threatened with pro
Ionged wait and its ultimate passage
before the early harvest seems hope
less.

ROME, June 2s.--The Central

Russia will soon be an active nartic-

Word received here today from

evidences there that a considerable
number OF Austrian divisions had
been fnrriedly withdrawn from the
italian front and transferred back
to the north.
Many Of these troops were shifted
from the northern fighting line at
the height Of General Cadorna's
offensive to stiffen the weakening
