House of Repre sentatives, Bill No. 3896, providing for the immediate payment of veterans of the 1945 face value of their adjust ed ^service certificates.” These words spoken la.st Thursday by the president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and flashed around the world, told .that the long- sought and argued greenback bonus measure was dead. Other plans will imw' be formulated'and brought forth to continue the fight, but the presi dent ha.s made it clear that he .will veto any mea-'^uie calling for an Tm- ' mediate payment of the l>onus as out lined in his message delivered,in i>er- ton lai^ \ve<*k before the joint Houses, For the sake of kwping the ’ix.*cord straight, the official vole of the South Carolina (leli-gatitm is-given.

One has to go Iwck a long way in hi'story to find a man who combined the qualities which went to make up the personality of this scholar-adven turer, who had not yet reached the height of his career. T. E, Lawrence might have lived to become the leader of the English government, for he had • just resigned the humble post in 'which he had buriecl himself since his Arabia made him world- her home on Centennial street yester day jmbrning.

He had me re move my nether garments and made a careful examination. He found that my collar button had been rubbing my Adam’s Apple, and “kerflooe,” went my goitre. I felt relieved. ! I had no sooner got back to my of fice till r tixilc rheumatism in my thigh and“wasT>ar^ able to hobble from my desk to' the time clock. I could see my physical activities disappearing over the horizon. No more would I have the pleasure of hopping, skip ping, jumping, and cavorting. I was a lame man, and tied down for life. I hurriinl around to another doc tor’s office who si>ecialized in bone and sciatic disea.ses; I was ashamed to go to my blooil pressure diagnosti cian. I was duly inspected, checked, and accounted for. The doctor found that I had bumjwd my thigh on the side of my Ford' door and had bruised it a right smart, so that ended my rheumatism complaint.
