ABBEV|L[E HIGH SCHOOL
CLOSES MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR

The commencement exercises of
the Abbeville High School opened
Friday night at $3.50 with song
"Springtime" by the entire gradu-
ating class, accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. Floyd Graves.
The curtain in the opera house
rose on a scene of loveliness such as
is seldom seen with fourteen sweet
girl graduates holding the center of
the stage surrounded by the twelve
young men Of the class of 1922,
which was the largest class ever to
graduate from this school. The
stage setting was tasteful in simple
decorations of shasta daisies and
sweet peas. A garland of daisies en-
oircled the front of the stage. On
the left hand side was a white lat
tice with the figures "19" woven in
of rose colored sweet peas, while on
the right was a similar lattice with
the figures "22" in red sweet peas.
Miss Ada Faulkner was honor
graduate and delivered the valedic-
tory. Miss Maria Neuffer took Sec
on honor and was salutatorian.
Miss Celia Chalmers was Class His
torian.
Gilbert Nabers made a fine class
poet and George Smith delivered
the appreciation in his usual good
style.
Bill Cox had the honor of max
ing the last will and testament for
the class, while there is just one

The papers were we'll prepared
and we'll delivered and the Press
and Banner takes pleasure in pub
ling them at an early date.
Musical selections were rendered
by Miss Lillian Grubb of the gradu-
ating class, and by Miss Jeansie
White and Virginia Wilson of the
10th grade.
DIR. Robert Calvin Grier, presi-
dent of Erskine College, delivered
the address of the evening. Supt. j..
D. Fulp introduced DR.. Grier with
mention of the fact that last week
Mr.. Fulp's alma mater, the Pres
byterian college at Clinton, con-
ferred the degree of Doctor of
Divinity on Mr.. Grier, and the
qualification felt by Ajbbeville peo-
pie over this highly deserved
honor. DR.. Grier made fine talk on
the foundation of an education,
and the great need of a trained
mind in the times to come. His
address was short but to the point
and was enjoyed by every one pres
ent.
The exercises closed with an ear
nest prayer by Rev. G. M. Telford.
The class of 1922 has finished its
work and soon will leave for varl-
Gus colleges. They will carry with
them the "well done" of the people
of Abbeville. Upon them rests the
future of the city, the state and
the nation.

AUTO AT UNION.-TWO 9TH
ERS INJURED.

Union, June 4.-Four people were
killed and two others possibly fatally
injured Saturday afternoon when the
southbound Carolina Special struck
an automobile half mile above the
city limits. Two others are possibly
fatally injured. Of the dead two are
young men and two young women,
the ages Eanging from 49, to rs

The dead are: James Vaughn, B. j.
Vaughn, Miss Laura Austin and
Miss Minnie Austin.
John McKeown and Ben Alton

James Vaughn was killed outright
Laura Austin died on the way to
the hospital. B. J Vaughn died i'm
mediately after being taken into the
hospital, and Minnie Austin lived four
hours after being taken to the hospi'
tai.
The tragedy was where a communi'
ty road crossed the railroad. At this
point the track extends from 200 te
800 yards in straight line.
The engine struck the automobile
squarely and piled it in a tangled
mass by the side of the road. Two
of the occupants were pinned to the
locomotive by parts of the automo
bile and were fastened to the pilo'
when the train was brought to a stop
One of the patients at the hospita
has a fracture of the skull, and the
other is suffering from internal in

hope for the recovery of either one.
Surgeons were rushed to the scene
of the tragedy and rendered all pos
sible aid to the injured. A great
crowd of people visited the scene i'm
mediately after the wreck.

INCREASES SHOWN
IN EMPLOYMENT
CONFIDENCE RESTORED, SAYS
LABOR DEPARTMENT OFFIc.
IAL-CONDITIONS ARE RE-
PORTED BETTER THAN IN
TWELVE MONTHS.

Washington, June 4.-Increase OF
3.2 per cent in employment in va
rious industries during the month
of May was noted by the employment
service Of the Labor Department in
it's monthly report, made public to-
day. The report included statements
of agents in sixty-fve principal In,
dustrial centers, forty-nine recording
increases in employment figures in
the district covered and only sixteen
showing decreases.
"The country as a whole" said
Director General Jones, els rapidly
getting back to- an employment
basis with the exception Of the coal
and cotton textile industries. The
broadening cut of industry in most
all lines of activity for May clearly
emphasizes the fact that business
depression is behind us. Confidence
lis restored. June will accentuate the
upward movement. Industry is stead
lily expanding.
"Building construction widened in
May over April. A genuine building
boom is on throughout the country.
IA shortage Of carpenters, bricklayerS
and plasterers exists in many of the
2S1 principal industrial centers
Wheat cutting has started in Texas
and large numbers of men will be ab'
sorbed in the harvest fields"
Marked decrease in textiles was re.
ported from North Carolina, but a
demand for farm labor. A slight but
general advance in all industrial hines
was apparent. Building construction
was reported heavy in many sections
of South Carolina, with the industrial
situation advancing toward improve
ment. There was a healthy demand
for farm labor. Conditions in Char
lesion were said to be better than
they have been for twelve months.
Georgia also showed construction
increase, with an increase for farm
labor, Seasonal shut-downs in the
fertilizer industry generally in the
South are noted by the report.
Harvest of the potato crop in
Florida was absorbing surplus labor
and very little agricultural unem-
ployment was reported.

ARMY BILL GOES
TO CONFERENCE
INCLUDES PROVISION FOR
MUSCLE SHOALS AAMEND-
.MENT PROVIDES SUM OF
SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUN
DRED THOUSAND

Washington, June 3.-Carrying
an appropriation of $341,750,000,
the annual army appropriation bill
was passed late today by the SEN
ate. 1t fixes the size Of the army for
the next year at an average Of 12,-
$50 officers and $4,000 men. -.
Passage of the bill, which was
without record, vote, followed
quickly after a test vote by which
the senate accepted, Al to 90, it's
committees action in increasing
the house figure on the size Of the
army from $4,000 to $4,000 en-
listed men. The strength Of 1850
officers compares with 1000 as
voted by the house.
The senate disposed of the bill
speedily, the measure being taken
UP for the first time today and
passed within six hours. All COM
mittee amendments except those
amending the size Of the army was
acted upon within three hours, con-
stituting what was regarded as al
most record by the senate.
Some opposition was expressed
to the $4,000 enlisted strength,
but Chairman Wadsworth Of the
military committee, in charge Of
the bill, pressed for the committee
figure and was sustained, as was the
committee on every other amend
ment to the house bill.
The measure now goes to.con-
ference with the house, but it is not
expected that the discussions will
begin before Tuesday.
Next to the question Of the size
of the army the proposition causing
most discussion was the amendment
submitted by the agriculture COM
mittee appropriating $7,500,000 for
continuation of work on the Muscle
Shoals federal power project, which
the senate accepted without a re-
cord vote, after a parliamentary
tangle which lasted for more than
an hour.
The Muscle Shoals amendment
promised for time to reopen the
whole question of the governments
policy with respect to the power
project, but Chairman Norris of
the agriculture committee declared
that no policy had been determined
and that to delay work further on
dam No. 2 in the Tennessee river
would he an economic crime"
Party lines were broken when
the test vote on the army bill was
taken. Nine Democrats voted with
the Republican majority in uphold
ing the senate committee, while six
Republicans were counted in the
negative. Democrats voting for the
193, 900 army included Ashurst
Gerry, Heflin Kendrck, Myers,
Sheppard, Smith, Underwood and
Williams. Republicans who voted
against the proposition were Borah,
! Capper, Ladd, La Toilette, Norris
and Willis.

HARDING PRAISES
| CONFEDERATE DEAD
IJNScHEDUlED ADDRESS TO
HEROES IN GRAY-VIEWS
soUTHERNERS AS MEN WHO
FOUGHT BRAVELY IN
NECESSARY WAR.

Washington, June 4.-The presi
dent of the United States, himself
The son of a Union veteran, Joined
with gray clad, gray haired veter'
ans of the Confederacy who stood
with bowed heads at the graves OF
their comrades in the "Lost Cause"
Today in Arlington cemetery to pay
their annual tribute of love and
remembrance to those who had
gone on the last long march.
Standing beneath the dropping
folds Of the Stars and Bars, Presl'
dent Harding uttered a prayer OF
gratitude for a reunited nation
whose foundations, he said, had
been cemented by the blood OF
Confederate and Federal alike.
Mr.. Harding spoke extemporane-
ously and his appearance on the
|rostrum Of the open air annphl'
kheater was surprise to the crowd.
To the sons and daughters OF
veterans, Mr.. Harding added a
word Of tribute.
Speaking as the son Of one who
fought in the Union cause" ne
said, II want to say that I have
only gratitude, commendation and
the sincerest tribute a man can ut
ter for their sons and daughters
Fwho have lived in the great after
math and ably assisted in turning
| |discord into concord and reclaim
ling for posterity all those things so
Essential to the welfare of this re-
public. There comes to my mind
such names as dear old Joe Wheel
Ter whom I saw go to the front to
defend his country, and Fitzhugh
Lee, who headed the first troops
| that entered Habana in the Spanish
american war. And in that con-
| flict let me say that we of Ameri-
Ca were brought into complete &C
cord"
President Harding did not hest
tate to laud the courage of the
men who fought for the Confeder-
|acy, declaring, although he caution
ed, that while he did not mean to
say that the Confederacy was
right, II am glad to say to you
that l believe you thought it was
right.
Applause that was little less than
an ovation greeted the president
at the conclusion of his address.
The address of Judge Edgar
Scurry of Wichita Falls, Texas
commander-in-chief of the Sons OF
Confederate Veterans, held re-
newal of the pledge of fealty to the
Union of the veterans and the Sons
of the Confederacy. Addressing the
president, he declared:
81 bring you a message from the
Sons of the Confederacy to you as
the SON of brave Union soldier
that the time has passed for bitter,
ness. The time has come wher
every Americans great deeds
should become the heritage of 9th
er Americans, no matter in what
cause they performed"
