ABBEVILLE WINS
THE LAST GAME
Takes Second Game From Honea
Path by II to S.-Husky Tate
Gets Three Hits, One Fer
Three Bases.

The curtain went down on the
final baseball game Of the high
school season Wednesday afternoon
when Honea Path, for the second
time this spring, was defeated by the
Abbeville eli" champions. The game
was rather slow and filled with all
sorts of errors both inexpensive and
costly. 1t so happened that the most
costly ones were made by the visit
ors which resulted in Abbeville win
ming by score of II to 8.
Honea Path strated off strong in
the first frame getting three league
hits and as many perfectly good tai
lies before Buster recovered his
equilibrium and retired the side by
striking out three batters.
1t was not until the fifth inning
that Abbeville hit her regular stride
when the local boys scored five tai
lies which made the score stand 6
to 5 in favor of Abbeville at the end
of the fifth. Each team scored one
in the sixth and one in the seventh.
Honea Path came stronger in the
eighth scoring two but the Old Tim
ers came back with three big ones.
The visitors were unable to do a
thing in the ninth, Buster retiring
the first three up by making them
fan the air.
Tate for Abbeville was specially
good with the stick Wednesday,
something unusual for the old boy,
getting three hits out of four times
up and one of them for three bases.
Honea Paths. catcher and first
baseman were the stars for the visit
ors.
The score by innings was:
R. H. E.
Honea Path-300 OIL 120-8 9 8
Abbeville -OO1 051 13x-11 ~ II
Umpire: Galloway.
The Abbeville high school team
has had a splendid season having

Mr.. SEAL RETURNS

Mr.. T. C. Seal has returned from
Camden where he went a few days
ago to attend the Reunion of Con-

Comrade John Gambrell about it
this morning. 81 tell you, John, if I
had stayed another day, I never
would have come back to Abbeville,
so I just packed up and came home. :"
The people of the Eastern section
of the state turned out en- masse to
welcome the survivors, Mr.. Seals
says, and everybody was a commit
tee of one to make the old fellows
feel happy and at home.
Then he turned to friend John
again and said, 81 thought all the
women over that way were little
swarthy looking women, but they
are not, they are big fine pretty
looking women" "But," he added,
"good-looking women are like
black-berries, they grow every
where"

SHERIFF AND DEPUTY
MAKE BIG HAUL
George Pritchard and Tom Wilson
In Jail-Ofice Stacked With
Booze This Morning-Two
Cars Captured

The Sheriff's office is so wet this
morning that it would make even
Noah turn green with envy. It's
damp every where, but the chief
peace officer of the county has his
office stacked with fire water that
would make an old sot sniff his nos
trils for sure.
Packed away in glass fruit jars and
in even tin cans, securely rest nine
gallons of "home brew" the sort
without the proper color but with
the bulldog kick, the result of three
seizures by the sheriff and his deputy
last night and early this morning in
three separate raids.
George Pritchard, white man was
captured about IL o'clock last night
on South Main-the far extreme
along with a good part of the above
mentioned booze. He was riding at
the time in Ford touring car. This
morning he is in Jail, his car in the
custody of the sheriff, and his booze
stored away in the sheriff's office.
About four o'clock this morning
the sheriff and his deputy pounced
upon Tom Wilson, also a white man,
living near Little Mountain about 8
miles from here. They brought him
in, charged with having in his poss-
ession and transporting the outlawed
spirits. He is also in the county Jail.
An hour later at the bend of the
Snake road, about 5 miles out of the
city, they captured big Auburn
car and another big haul of whiskey,
but the drivero f the car, on alert,
successfully eluded the officers by
taking leg bail. The car was stopped
just at the turn of the road, and the
sheriff in attempting to mount the
car as the driver hurriedly attempted
to turn, the road ahead being block
ed by the sherifFs carr was thrown
to the ground by being struck by the
fender of the car. His leg was severe
ly hurt. At this point however, the
deputy sheriff swung on the front end
and straddling the hood threw a dan
gerous loking gun into the face Of
driver, who keeled out of his seat
and took to the tall timbers. The
driver was negro. The car, and its
contents, consisting of quite a num-
Der of recepticals, holding the fiery
fluid, was brought in town. Clarence
Searles is stated to be the driver of
the car and was driving it.
