MEMORIAL DAY is -...
CELEBRATED HERE

Memorial Day exercises were held
in Abbeville Saturday, full honor be-
ing rendered to the Confederate Vet
erans of this county. The exercises
were held in the Opera House, Mayor
Mars being master Of ceremonies.
The program began with the part
played by the children of the City,
who after singing several national
and state songs, placed flowers on
the monument in Monument Square.
It would not do to mention how
many or how few old veterans were
present at the exercises. 1t sufices
to say that there was a "thin gray
line" on the stage at the opera house,
who showed the same unfagging
spirit, the same interest that has held
that line together for so many years.
= The most interesting part of the
exercises was the relating of remin-
iscences on the part Of the old
"vets." These they told with clarity
and in detail, showing memories lit
tie dimmed by the years.
There was also a splendid musical
program. Those taking part in this
were, Miss Margaret Bradley, Miss
Leila Ellis, Miss Elizabeth Edmunds,
Joe Hughes, Percy Leach and Alvin
Ellis. Miss Susie Stevenson accom-
panied the singers.
The first speaker was the Hon. J..
Howard Moore, senator from this
district, who addressed his remarks
chiefly to the veterans, comparing
present day methods of warfare with
those that prevailed during the Civil
War. Other speakers, were Capt. ).
s. Gilbert, Capt. W. c., Shaw, of
Lowndesville, and Mr.. C. A. Bolts.
The Rev. ]. L. Daniel lead in prayer.

PRESS ASSOCIATION TO
MEET IN GREENVILLE

Officers and executive committee
men of the South Carolina Press AS
sociation met in Columbia Friday
and designated Greenville as the
place for the annual meeting of the
association this year. The dates fixed
were June rs, 26 and 27. ]. Rion
McKissick, editor of the Greenville
Piedmont, attended the meeting Fri
day and pressed Greenville's claims
for the convention.
O. K. Williams, of Rock Hill, edi-
tor of The Record, also extended a
cordial invitation from that city. One
of the buildings at Winthrop was to
have been placed by President D. B.
Johnson at the disposition of the
newspaper men of the State. 1t was
Stipulated, however, that to hold the
convention in Rock Hill would neces-
state meeting Immediately after the
college closed the second week in
June. 1t was argued that this would
hardly give the officers and commit
teemen time to prepare the program.
Another progressive idea was ad-
vanced Friday, which was to have
a committee investigate the feasibil-
ity of procuring a camp site for the
Press Association in the mountains
in the Piedmont section, where the
members could meet for their annual
conferences. 1t was also suggested
that it would be possible to erect a
bungalow or other buildings, where
a man might take his family for the
vacation period in the summer.

IN THE MAYORS COURT.


Frost Davis, negro, charged with
cutting his wife, was fined $500 by
Mayor Mars yesterday morning.
Davis it will be remembered cut his
wife last week and, escaped, but re-
turned yesterday morning and gave
himself up.
The trouble with his wife grew out
of a family squabble in which Hen
rietta Davsi, his wife, and Matte
Boyd, were the principals along with
Frost, whose part in the affair gives
the lie to his name. The two women
were fined $500 each. ......i =.
The trial of Jim Haddon, negro,
was set for Monday afternoon. He
is charged with transporting liquor
from Atlanta despite the fact that
Atlanta is theoretically dry. Haddon
is said to have brought the liquor
in on an engine. He is employed by
the Seaboard Air Line Railway.

NEGRO SHOOTING.

Theodore Willes, negro, was shot
and seriously wounded last Thursday
evening by S. A. Nance, another ne,
gro, the shooting taking place about
10 miles north Of town on the Onie
B. Rogers place.
Willes was taken to the Anderson
Hospital, where it was said that he
was not expected to live. He had
been shot three times, one shot pierc-
ing his intestines and the other two
hitting his legs.
Sheriff. Burts was notified and
Deputy Sheriff Cam went to the
scene. Nance was arrested Friday
and brought to Abbeville, where he
was placed in jail. Bad blood is said
to have existed between the negroes
for some time.

COUNTY GOES OVER
IN LIBERTY LOAN
Ladies Committee to Be Congratu-

Has Not Been Heard From-ln-
terest Rally at Court House
Friday Night.

It took strenuous efforts to ac'
complish the thing, but Abbeville
went over the top in the Victory Lib
erty Loan Saturday. The quota fol
this city was S135,OO0 and this was
we'll oversubscribed. The figures
from the county have not yet been
compiled and it is not known whether
the county's quota was raised OF
not.
The work of the woman's commit
tee cannot be too highly commended.
The member of this committee can
vassed part of Friday and all day
Saturday and raised more than S10;-
900.
The rally in the Court House Fri
day night under the auspices of the
woman's committee aroused great
deal of enthusiasm. The Court
House was crowded. The addresses
of Mrs. O. L. Slater, of Columbia,
and Chaplain j. Sproles Lyons were
interesting and inspiring. Chaplain
Lyons related incidents that came
under his observation while in
France. One of the features of his
talk was his account of the burial of
soldiers of the 11Sth Infantry killed
in action. He said that when the
time came for burying the soldiers
no American flag could be found and
that French Red Cross ladies under
took to make a flag for him. The flag
had "a red stripes, % white stripes
and II 1-2 stars. The blue field was
only on one side Of the flag. After
the burial the mayor of, the French
. town where the flag was made, pre-
sented it to Chaplain Lyons, who
recently gave it to the State of South
Carolina.
Chaplain Lyons also made a talk
in the opera house where a large
crowd had gathered to see a well
known movie.
The Camp Jackson Glee Club fur
nished music and this feature of the
program was much enjoyed.
