‘TIki iliyilirtli il Press is a serious-
mind^ outfit, whose main purpose
is to inform rathfr than to amuse.
Even so. the jMiys in Washington last
week got e-'t^ece Trf irony Htiy -the
desk;
“The treasury disclosed today that
it had started off the biggest peace
time spending year in history with
a deficit of nearly a half-billion dol
lars. In July the treasury spent
$830,598,844 and took in $331,220,815
—a deficit of $499,378,029.”
Big money, you see, but necessary
to save our skins. Got to have those
tanks., and Garand rifles and air
planes. Nobody objects to deficits, no
matter how big, when they are for
defense.
But wait a minute. At this point

• Presented Cup
' The United Spanish War Veter
ans, the J. J. MeSwain Camp No. 19,
of Laurens county, was presented a
lol^Ag cup on Tuesday evmiing for
organizing a Sons of Spanish War
Veterans camp with the largest num-
Iwe^ of BBnbm of any chib in the
state. Tlfe meeting was held in the
Clinton armory and the preaentatiem
made by Cus C. Johnson of Dillon,
past department commander.
“ ... In the same mevRK last year
the deficit was $499,479,186.”
If defense expenditures keep up
at a pace no faster than this—as they
won’t—it would justify the AFs In-
uendo that, shucks, to support a war
machine is no more expensive than
to support the ordinary New Deal.—

HISTORICAL NOTE
Sahjeet: Thiri Term
(From The New York Times)
On February 10, 1928, the senate
of the United States adopted the fol
lowing resolution:
“That it is the sense of the senate
that the precedent established by|
Wariiington and other Presid«its of;
! the United States in retiring from I
the presidential office after their sec- >
ond term has become, by* universal
concurrence, a part of our republican
system of government, and that any
departure from this tiihe-htmored
custom would be unwise, unpatriotic
and fraught with peril to our free
institutimis.”
Among those who voted to approve
'this d^unciation of the third term as
“unwise, unpatriotic j^pd fraught with
peril to our free institutions” were
