GREENWOOD MAN
TAKES OWN LIFE
Superintendent of Grendel Mill
Shoots Self-Not in Good
Health

Greenwood, March 14.-Warren
L. Thompson, 3S years old, superin-
tendent of Grendel mill No. 2, COM
mitted suicide today about noon by
shooting himself once through the
heart. He left no note of explana-
ton for the act. Worry over i'll
health and depressed business con-
ditions are the causes which led to
the suicide, members of the family
believe. He had been superintendent
Of the mill since it was organized II
years ago. Coming directly home
from the mill Office, Mr.. Thompson
went to his bedroom on the second
floor Of his home and shot himself
with a 80 calibre revolver. Members
of his family found the body lying
partly across the bed with the pistol
lying on the floor. Prior to the
shooting members of the family
suspected nothing wrong with him.
He had been in ill health for several
weeks and had worried over busi-
ness affairs, but seemed as well as
uual today, spending most of the
morning at work in the mill Office.
Mr.. Thompson was very popular
with the mill employees and was re-
garded as an efficient cotton mill
executive. He was we'll known
throughout this section and had hun
dreds of friends who were panied to
learn sof his tragic end. Funeral ar
rangements have not been made.

MILL SCHOOL is A
:, MODEL SAYS INSPECTOR

W. A Shealy, state supervisor of
m;u schools, who last year made
quite a complimentary report of the
Abbeville Cotton Mill school is even
more ;gratiied this session by finding
that the mill school problem in this
city is ideal. Here is what Mr.. Shealy
has to say in his report to Supt. Fulp;
Il was well pleased with what l
saw On my visit to Abbeville, March
g. As 1 see it you have no mill school

uation beautifully.
Il appreciate your courtes:es and

PARENT TEACHER
ASSOCIATION MET
Continued from Page One.)

grade had won the picture with a
percentage of % per cent of the
mothers present while Miss Riley's
sixth grade section ip the high school
building ran away with the honors,
having Al per cent of the mothers
present. Not single grade was with
out representation which was fine.
After the conclusion. Of the busi-
ness session Supt. Fulp' asked leave to
speak to the association on the needs
of the Abbeville schools in the way
of additional teaching force and 'ad-
ditional room.
Major Fulp made clear statement
of the needs of the schools for more
space. The children are crowded to-
gether and both teacher and pupils
find it hard to do good work under
present conditions. The enrolment is
increasing at the rate of over a hum
dred year, the Major predicting that
in ten years the enrolment in the
public schools will not be less than
two thousand. Major Fulp told of the
two propositions before the school
board, that of bond issue for $685.
900 which will be sufficient to add
six rooms and an auditorium to the
present High school which would pro-
badly meet the needs of the school
for the next six years.
The second proposition would be
the issue of. bonds to the amount of
S125,OO0 which would erect COM
modious and convenient school build
ing with an auditorium with room in
the building for laboratories, library,
domestic science rooms and such 9TH
er improvements as are necessary to
make the Abbeville school system
worthy of the town. The repairs on
the two buildings now in use for this
year has amounted to over 1000,
enough to pay the salaries two or
three times of the two new teachers
who will be necessary next year.
Major Fulp told of schools in other
towns no better off than Abbeville
and urged the women present to take
more interest in the schools in the
proposed bond issue and by their
united strength to make the school
system of Abbeville superior to. any
in the State.
The Major, is indeed earnest about
better schools for he told the ladies
that he would rather take less salary
and have good buildings than conSin-
ue in the present building at an in
crease which is going the limit.

JUDGE BENET ACCEPTS

Judge W. C. Benet, formerly a
distinguished resident of Abbeville,
has accepted the invitation extended
to him by Supt. ]. D. Fu1p of the city
schools to make the address to the
graduating class of the high school
at the close of commencement.
The judge has only recently re-
turned from an extended visit to his
son, Sam Benet at Tacoma, Wash
ington, and his many friends in this
county will learn with pleasure that
he has decided to visit us during
cOnmencement and make the COM
mencement address. -
In accepting the invitation Judge
Bent says: I. :sA
Before I left Tacoma, the Press
and Banner had informed me that
lad been, zsr was to be, invited to
deliver the Commencement address
in Abbevine. I have therefore had
ample, time for consideration. The
Dros. and cons. were pretty equally
balanced; for I thought I had done
my full part in former years in de-
Eyefinp commencement addresses
more than a dozen of them in my
avn and in other states. On the other
hapd, Abbeville is really my Ameri-
can home; I made it my home fifty
three years ago. My dearest memo
Eies cling to the old town. I have a
strong desire to visit it again.
HAnd so, in spite Of old age, and
Z natural reluctance to appear again
rs a commencement orator, have
decided to accept the invitation
which you have couched in terms so
kind and courteous.
3. With respectful compliments to
the eleven graduates, to the corps of
teachers, and to the trustees and
yourself, ,
