fAVrE r WTJ Established 1844. THE PRESS AND BANNER ABBEVILLE, S. C. The Press and Banner Company I Published Tri-Weekly Monday, Wednesday and Friday. J I Entered as second-class matter at' pest office in Abbeville, S. C. Term* of Subscription: One Year ... Six Months Three Months $2.00 $1.00 .50! Foreign Advertising Representative I AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION MONDAY, APRIL 3, 1922. THE BONUS sFred H. Dominick, congressman from th? third district, is the only ( congressman from South Carolina' who voted against the bonus to sol diers of the world war, and in the opinion of the Press and Banner is 1 the only congressman from South ' Carolina who voted right. ' Why should the soldiers in the ' World War receive a bonus any more than the soldiers of the Span> ish-Amecriean war? Many of them, 1 a large majority in fact, did not see the service, nor endure the hard- 1 ships, which members of Company A, of the First South Carolina regi-,' ment, and which members of Cap- i tain Perrin's company saw and en- 1 dured. And if a bonus is to be paid, why ' is it not limited to those who actual ly saw service on the field of battle? 1 Why skauld officers who never saw the smoke of battle and who re- ! ceived far more money foir their ' time and training than they had : ever earned before receive a bonus, when this country is tax-ridden to the breaking point? Did the soldiers who fought in the | last great war fight as patriots as did the soldiers in all the other great J ware in which the country has been 1 engaged, or were they after serving 1 in order to hereafter receive the^ (bonus money? It seems to us that this insistent demand for money from the public treasury does at J1 least a large percentage of the men ' who fought a gToat injustice. - The politicians say they are for a'1 bonus because they promised their j constituents they would vote for a j bonus. We rather think that many jJ of thesn are for a bonus because:! they lire seeking the soldier vote. J1 They think to get the whole soldier * vote, taking chances that the people who pay the bonus will not be of- J fended. But unless we are misin- ' formed the taxpayers will be heard j1 from as well as the soldiers. 1 Perhaps after all the taxpayers' may decide that the war was fought by this country to make the worl4 safe fo* democracy and not to make pdMic money easy in a vote getting scheme iby congressmen. 1 DCTITONC PRHM Tim A Joe Dupra, who has ibeen a f radio operator in the navy and j has been stationed in Cuba ( for several months, has receiv- <: ed his discharge and is expected in j Abbeville tomorrow for a visit to i his aunt, Mrs. J.

Mr. Gambrell j ] and Mr. Rogers were boys together at Williamston and are recalling j many incidents of boyhood with i pleasure.

[ LETTER FROM CONSTANTINOPLE Mr. Walter T. Tuaten Writei Hii Sister, Mr*. Eugene B Gary, from Conttantinople. Pora Palace Hotel, (Constantinople March 10th, 1922. My Dear Sister:? Well, here we are in another citj of Mosques and Minarets, a greafl city of albout two and a half millior population. We have Ibeen here einc< last Monday and will sail toraor row night for Athens, Greece, anj will proceed" from there to Italy. 1_ 4.1, vur two weaw muii^ tut Syrian coast and the three stops we made on the island of Cyprus and our visit to the ancient city oi Smyrna were very interesting ant instructive and the weather heing good, with tbe exception of two days our passage was very pleasant. Since our arrival here we have been pretty much on the go an<j have now seen everything that wc are interest )d in. Of course, one could spend muci longer than a week here and foe in terested if they had not visited Mo hammedon countries before, but at we have had so much of it in Indis and Egypt we are no longer inter ested in seeing more. This city though, is lnarvelooe fox its location, which is wonderful there is not another city in the world to compare with it in this respect. Anne was just in my room looking out of my window which coimnandf a fine view of the Golden Horn, and ran back to her room to get hei mother to ccme and see the beauti ful sunset. A day or so ago we wen1 by boat up the Bosphorus to the en trance of the Black Sea and found the scenery very beautiful.. The food here is excellent, by fai the test we have had since w? lefl the U. S. A. There is a fine restaurant here where we have taken most of oui dinners, run a .Russian refugt nobleman, and the waitresses art young women of royal families ol Russia, refinement being written or all of them and some are beautifu types. I feel so sorry for them as ii must be terrible to fall from such s height and the poor things certainly are in no way responsible for whad happened in their country. A mar connected with the American consu late here told us yesterday that h( was in this restaurant a week or s< ago for dinner and saw some Bus sian Bolshevist Jews sitting at on< of the tables eating and drinking champagne and being served bj these ladies and he said it made hi? blood boil to see it. We will all be giad to get among English speaking people again. Marie of course with French and German at her disposal is all right, but she says the most of the natives speak French about as badly , as they do English and the German population here is very much reduced. I hope you are all quite well and 1 trust business conditions in the South are better than they were a short while ago. We have all been quite well with the eocception of Anne, who was a little unwell after leaving Palestine, bat we bad a very fine Vienna doctor on board and he fixed her up in a day or so. Give my love to all and drop us a lin? in care of Farmers Loan and Trust Co., No 41 Boulevard Hous man, Paris. We expect to be there about the 10th of April or perhaps earlier.

Chicago, April 2.?The Siamese twins, Josefa and Rosa Blazdek who died last week, after two weeks ill ness at a hospital here, were joined at the spine and severing them would have been fatal, X-ray photographs taken after their death are said to show.

Brady, radiographer, who made the pictures. STOPS IN ABBEVILLE Mrs. H. G. Henderson of New York is spending* a few days with Mrs. John Harris on South Main street.

Clinton, April 1.?Through the in terest and generosity of friends, sub stantial improvements are soon to be made at the Thornwell orphanage here. Through the liberality of m. S. Bailey of this city, who has been a member of the orphanage board since its foundation in 1876, a modern, well equipped laundry building is to |>e constructed of reinforced concrete with a concrete floor, steel window irames witn ribbed glasses. Tentative j plans are waiting the arrival of a I practical laundryman. It is proposed , to make this one of the attractive buildings of the campus and it will be known as the M. S. Bailey laundry. ( In the recent $1,000,000 campaign j the Presbyterian church at Abbeville s made a subscription sufficiently large for the p&ting in of a irodern laun dry equipment John McSween of Timmonsville, a bpard member since 1-885, and his j son, the Rev. John McSween, have t made it possible to install a linotype machine in the orphanage printing office. This will be a valuable addi tion in that it will enable the print ing office boys who select this line of ' work /to get the necessary training. ' The orphanage authorities are deeply grateful to these friends for their ' substantial gifts with which to pro 1 vide these greatly needed improve ! ments. ' CRUSHERS ASKING FOR LOWER TARIFF ' Weit TelU Committee That Higb Rates Would Injure Ameri can Export*. Washington, April 1.?The South 'Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers' asso [ ciation, which, some time ago favored the high tariff on cottonseed oils con tained in the Fordney bill as it pass ed the house, is now insisting that the tariff be materially lowered. The secretary of thie association, W. B. West, testified today before the finance committee of the senate. He argued that if the high tariff prevails, Europe, which now buys American cottonseed oil as an edible oil, and for it pays handsomely, will buy Oriental oil and thus deprive the American product of a lucrative mar ket. He contended mat 11 tne tar in ? . . . . > I m is very low America will consume the ' Oriental oil in baeer purposes and ' thus leave Europe open for the Amer r icon product. ( ' It is regarded as probable that the committee will follow the advice of ' Mr. West. Apparently it wishes to 1 give Southern protectionists just what 1 they desire for their products.

TO RECEIVE HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS AFTER 50 YEARS Atlanta, April 1.?Superintend ent of Schools Rutton will have a problem on his hands .tonight when he delivers diplomas to a class gradu ated from the boys high school. Al most without exception, its mem bers have the advantage over him in years and therefore, in experience and the homily which usually at tends such occasions would be sadly malapropos. The class was graduated in 1872 and included a number of boys who have achieved prominent places in the vocations they afterward select ed.'Among them were Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, Frank P. Rice, leading realtor, Mari on Erwin, prominent in southern le gal circles, and many others. For some reason, long forgotten, the Uipiujima wtic ncvci w the young hopefuls in the years in tervening since their graduation.
