At this time many, natters of importance are scheduled ;or consideration, and it is hoped | hat a good attendance can be had. ' rhe meeting this week was not suf-'i iciently well advertised but with a vhole week to advise the men there 1 vill no doubt be a good attendance. < Che suggestion was made and adopt-i'. :d that each paid up member bring 1 mother ex-service man with him. The Bonus Question j Abbeville Post, No. 2, has not dis- ' ussed the bonus law, and a majority pinion on the subject has not been ' ought. This question may be brought^ ip for discussion at the next meet-^ ng. The state department at one of,1 ts first meetings went on record as 1 >eing opposed to the bonus until ? roper provision had been made for ' he wounded and otherwise injured | ix-service men. If a referendum J ould be had from every ex-service! nan in the county it is probable ac- ( :ording to some, that a majority vould favor the passage of the law. ] t has been suggested, whether wise-J y or unwisely, that a bonus law 1 night prove cheaper for the govern nent in the end, since the law is inderstood to carry a provision that 10 further pensions will be granted. 'After all," says one member, "there s not much difference between pay- ] nent in a lump sum .and having the igony over with than the yearly pay-' ' nents that would be sought for the, lext century, as has been the case'i ifter previous wars. If the present j >onus measure is a vote getting icheme, once it is over the political < juestion would be removed and the )oliticians could hunt up something ilse to use as a vote-getting lever. To Prosecute Lawyers. There have been reported to the, listrict office of the United States /eterans' bureau a number of in tances in which attorneys are charg-j' ng claimants who applied for com >ensation or vocational training fees n excess of the amount allowed by 1 aw, wn ch amount is $3.00 for each :laim filed. The bureau has adopted the policy ' >f prosecuting every attorney or oth :r person illegally charging fees in ; ;xcess of $3.00 for handling claims tgainst the bureau. It is not neces ;ary that a claimant take his case to i lawyer, inasmuch as this bureau vill assist him in the preparation of lis claim and inform him of the pa jers necessary and will not recognize iny attorney in the presentation of iny claim against the bureau.

JILLY SUNDAY HEARS FROM FRANK DUPRE Joy Convicted of Murder Thanks Evangelist For Letter To Governor Hard wick Spartanburg, Feb. 8.?Rev. "Bil y Sunday yesterday received a let :er from Frank B. Dupre, a 19 ^ear-old white ^Iboy who is in a call in the tower in Atlanta, under death sentence, earnestly thanking the great evangelist for his recent letter to Gov. Thoraa3 W. Hard wick of Georgia asking him to commute DuPre's sentence zo life imprison nent. DuPre was caught in tjhe act of burglarizing an Atlanta jewelry shot and,killed Irby C. Walker, a sho tand killed Irt>y C. Walker, a Pinkerton detective, well known in Spartanburg. H? was tried and con victed and the death sentence im posed. Mr. Sunday last week wrote Gov., Hardwick, saying that in view of :he youth of the lad; the fact that lie was intoxicated at the time he broke into the store and subse quently killed Detective Walker, in his judgment the law would be vin dicated if Governor Hardwick svould commute the lad's sentence io life imprisonment. He sought no notoriety or newspaper puJblicity in ioing this act for a helpless fellow man, but the news was given out from the governor's office to the Atlanta papers. Mr. Sunday was deeply touched by the letter he received from young DuPre yesterday. In read ing it over to a friend his voice 3hook when he came to that pas-j[ 3age, "Mr. Sunday, won't you [ pleaBe say a prayer for me." Of '[ :ourse, this request will be grant- J [ sd. Mr. Sunday is the kind of 'big- j [ hearted red-Wooded' man whose heart goes out to the underdog; hej tnows that side of life. His early if 1! [ II: days were spent in orphan homes ind his diploma comes from the 5 university of hard knocks. One of the great secrets of his success as a!" preacher and soul-winner, aside from his personality, Is the very hu- j i nan touch that runs through every-1 i ;hing he says and does. The man or' | woman, no matter how vile or sin- J [ ful, feels drawn toward him. J Following is the letter from Du- j Pre: . J (Fulton Tower, __ Atlanta, Ga. Rev. W. A. Sunday, My Dear Sir: I have just read in the paper' your letter asking Governor Hard wick to commute my sentence. Mr. Sunday, I want to tell you how much I appreciate your kind- j tiess. I have been reading your ser-| tnons that you preached in Spartan- |SU ad burg and I think they are wonder- _ f 0 ful. I want to tell you I think you , Jo-' are a gift to the human race and you should ibe appreciated by i ar everybody for your great work. Mr. Sunday, won't you please say a prayer for me; I certainly will ap preciate it if you will. I end my letter with many thanks to you. Yours devotedly, FRANK B.
