According to reports from th< meeting of the American Legion th< fight for a bonus is to continue. Th< fight is being waged by the officer; ^ 4-V?on Kt? + Vlf -OX HUB XJtrglUII lamu uian uj ?... soldiers we think. The organizatior is somewhat in the position of the labor unions?the soldiers most con cerned are making no big fuss aboul the demand, but the officers musi keep up some kind of excitement oi there would be no use for the offic^ ers. The chances of securing the passage of a bonus bill in the next con. gress as well as the merits of such a bill we think are covered by an editorial taken from The Constitution, of Atlanta, in which we find the following: "During its last session congress passed a bonus bill which pleased the American Legion. "The president vetoed it, and its supporters in congress were not numerically strong enough to override the veto. "If-the same sort of atbill is passed again by this or the succeeding congress under the Harding administration it probably will likewise be blocked by presidential disapproval. "So the only means by which the bonus advocates can hope to see such a bill enacted into law is to elect enough senators and represen tatives in congress to overcome the presidential veto; and that does not seem possible. "The troth is a large number o? those who voted for the bill in the last session did so for political reasons only, knowing that the president would prevent the bill from becoming law. "But for the knowledge that the .president Would veto the bill many in congress who voted and professed to he for it would have voted against it,' because at heart they, and the American people generally are at heart opposed to adding four or five billions to the burdens of the taxpayers to pay gratuities to ablebodied former service men, only a minority of whom even crossed the ocean during the world war and of that minority only a comparatively few saw any fighting, "Elsewhere in his report the retiring commander said the 'first responsibility of the legion' is for the welfare of the disabled soldiers. "He is right. The 'first responsibility' not only of the legion, but of J.1? n-w/1 4-Iia A rnQi*i/?or> Uie guvcmmcin/ aIAU mc i&uiviiwu people is to the disabled soldiers. "If the loffion will restrict the scope of its bonus proposal to that principle?confine it to the disabled soldiers?no patriotic citizen, in congress or out, will oppose it. ''But having congress pass and the president approve a bill providing for all who wore a uniform during the war period, regardless of service performed and regardless of the present physical condition of the beneficiary, is altogether a different matter. Such a movement has little chance for success, and the legion errs in keeping it alive " Visitor From Due West R. S.

COL. BILL WILSON VISITS GREENWOOD COUNTY FAIR z Col. Bill Wilson got tired selling dry goods early Friday morning last land decided he would go over to i Greenwood and take a look at the "jcounty fair, and incidentally see the t football game between the Greenwood Hi and the Abbeville Hi teams. The Col. selected the best driver in town and also a first class companion 3 in the "pusson" of Dick Parker, who 31 knows all about fairs and football. 3 j The Colonel was a little skittish j | about the roads to Greenwood, and ?'so made inquiries. Some friend ad. j vised him of a new road, and when I he had passed the forks of the road at the seven mile rock he commanded the driver to keep a sharp lookiout for a road which turns to the 1 jright. Sure enough it was there, J, though the Colonel said he had nevHer seen it before. The road was said 5 po lead to Salak and in that direction 5 the party headed. Not much progress 1 had been made when Colonel Wil" son declared that he was in new " country. In fact he did not know ? - ? j u there was any sucn country as ne ^ Vas passing through, he said. He had r studied the geography of the whole ' United States when he attended. school near the Cabell woods and he jhad never seen this territory nor district mentioned. If he had not i seen the new country with his own eyes he would have said there "are no sich." He is positive that Columbus saw nothing of it when he discovered America. Though, he said he i would bet that Bob Link and Old Man Stark would claim they knew all about the premises all along the road. If so he does not understand why they did not buy the whole thing out when buying was easy. At any rate Colonel Wilson and his accessories before the fact kept the straight road ahead and after about an hour they began to ' see signs of civilization, and in a little while they Were on the Verdery road and traveling towards Greenwood. jWhen they reached Greenwood they found few people there except Abbe. ville rooters for the football game. Proceeding to the fair grounds ; Col. Wilson discovered . the crowd woe tlioro on/4 flvopuhnrfv woe rPuHv for the game. Now, the Cononel has his own ideas about a football game, and he does not think he wins unless he knocks out the whole opposing team and climbs all four of the goal posts and crows like a rooster on the cross beams. He liked the way the Abbeville boys walked down the field in the first two quarters, but if he had not been a Presbyterian with a new pastor, he would have sWern a little when the boys fumbled the ball three times in striking distance of the | home base. But he saicf that he would plead no alibi. In the third quarter .when the Greenwood boys fought .manfully and finally by good fast football put it across, the Colonel ,was outdone. He had about hung his j hat on a willow limb, and was ready j to go home. But the Greenwood boys jWere too anxious. They outran the ball in the last quarter and Gladiator Swetenburg snatched it up and raced over. He then kicked goal, putting i Abbeville one point to the good. The , Colonel then said he knew they could do it, but he was obliged to say they were a long time about it. If, Joe Crawford had gotten across with that other try just before the whis-j tie blew, the Colonel could have ' eaten two helpings of the hash served up against the side of the fairj house, he said. i But the Colonel got disgutsed when ; Greenwood tried to plead an alibi for its team. "That team does not need ! an alibi," the Colonel declared. They 1 know how to take care of themselves '(and play the game. All ball teams I have hard luck, he said? and so they I dp, so what is the use of always talk1 ir.g about how we beat, when we get | beat. If Abbeville failed to make two : or three touchdowns because they I fumbled the ball, "they faileu be: | cause they did not play the game," I I Colonel Wilson declared. It is not a , | question of luck but of playing and I. beating luck as he sees it. So when i Greenwood sends in the news about - the game to all the papers as they ali ways do when they win, the Colonel . will be much obliged if they will just - sav tJiat thev cot beat. After the game and after Col. Wilson had "repaired" himself with hash as already indicated, he took s a seat on the grandstand and said he ^was obliged to see the "hoss" races, e He sat there and heard the music and i tke talk by the preacher, but when | the "hosses" began to come out on the track he sat there no longer. Hi got out on the track. Well, he didn' istay there long because all the hos men could see that he was a judg of race horses, and in about th< time it takes to tell it, he was oi the judges bench rattling two silve dollars in his right hand breeche pocket and ready to judge the races And he did. He said Will Ferguso; will win the race. He knew Wil would win, he said. Altogether, he said that he wa 1 wJfll flio rlntT l-? entirely sauaucu spent in Greenwood, but he wouli have been a little more so if Rip Vai Buster Howie and the others boy had pushed it over for a few more j he said. Dick Parker said Abbevill beat them worse than the score show J ed, but Colonel Wilson said he wouli take that remark under considera tion and give his answer later. When he got home he found tha he had had a fine \ day's business an< if nothing happens he expects to at tend the next fair at Greenwood am see the races. But he says he want to attend a real fair, and that i Greenwood does not get rid of th carnival shows they will kill the fai just as was the case in Abbeville Besides the tents keep a fellow fror seeing the horses all the way arourn the track and he loses a part of wha ,he pays to see, the Colonel declares JUDGE GARY BETTER AFTER AN ILLNESS Friends of Judge Frank B. Gar: will be glad to know that he is con valescing nicely after the attack o: malarial fever with which he wa: stricken in Allendale recently. He i: now at the home of his sister, Mrs Marie Gary Eason, 114 Beaufaii street, and his doctors expect him t< be about shortly.?News and Cour ier, Oct. 21st. BREAKS COLLAR BONE Foster Barnwell broke his col la' bone in the foot ball practice Thurs day afternoon and was unable t< take part in the game in Greenwoo< Friday. He went over to look 01 though and expects to be in trim fo the next game. I \ DEPENDA TO?
