The Abbeville High School, under
the leadership of Prof. Fulp, came up
to Due West last Friday and gave an
entertainment in the Memorial Hall.
Those taking part performed their
parts well. The evening was al
threatening one and not a very large
crowd was present. The Due West
High School and the Abbeville High
School played a game Of base ball in
the afternoon. 1t seems that there is
an uncertainty as to how many in
nings were played. Due West con-
tends that ten innings were played
while Abbeville claims only nine were
played. At the close of the game the
score was 8 to z in Abbeville's favor.
