/ THIS STATE AND THE BONUS
“Threfore, Mr. Speaker, I return,
without my approval. 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

Smith, long an advocate of paying the
bonus, voted to override the preSi-
<lent’s veto. Senator Byrnes, an ardent
Roostbvelt sujiporter, climliedj on the
bandwagon and likewise voted to over^
ride his chjef. Five mtsmbers of the
Hou.se, MeSwain, Casque, Taylor,

A ROMANTIC FIGURE
The most romantic figure of mod
ern times died Uhe other day. ‘‘Law
rence of Arabia” was killed on an
hmglish highway when he swerved his

child.
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

Miss Florie McGill has returned to
her home at Hickory Grove after
teaching here the past session.
Miss Agatha Bailey is at home from
Franklin, N. C., where she taught the
past year.
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Johnson left
Sunday for Milwaukee, where they

The Advertiser does not charge that

piece of legislation which would have

EDITORIAL COMMENT
I
I discovered that 1 had a goitre Fri
day. 1 hurried over, to see my blood
_ pressure physician, and told him what
was wrong with me. 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.

Rut I am a sick man just the same.
Black specks before my eyes, and my
lungs are growing weaker and weaker.
I can’t hold my breath over a minute
to save my life. .My nose bled yes
terday; that’s, a sure sign that some
of my blood vessels are on the verge
of blowing out. My ears roar and
tickle, and my fingers are as numb
as a dead mackerel.

ine that I am,, I am resting 15 min

I hour’s rest, but I’ll have to build up
to that gradually, as I still have to
earn a living by the sweat of my bald
head. Mebbe these calamities can be
staved off, I have all kinds of medi;
