. pAfflfc rctm. Veterans Loans Will Be Put to Many Uses Widow of Negro Soldier WiH rfave Teeth Fixed.—Negro Vet to Buy Auto and Liqbor. F— -V V: Many and varitft Wifi be the uses to which veteran]? of "tite World War will put their adjusted compensation loans. Some of it will be put to worth while uses, such as investments of various kinds, the psyihg of debts and taxes, and soon. - The widow of one negro soldier told a Barnwell lady that if and when she gets the money from the loan fund she expects to have her teeth “flxed.” Others will t • * not borrow against the certificates at this time, preferring to allow the money to remain in the treasury for a more “rainy day” or as protection for their families in the event of the insured’s death. ■ • But a largwpart of the millions will go into at|tOmObiles and “likker” and high livings for a brief time. A Barnwell man was returning home from a visit to a neighboring town Sunday afternoon and stopped at a filling station en route. He noticed a half-drunken negro<who seemed to be in high spirits. Inquiry elicited the information that the negro was a World War veteran and poS-esser of a compensation certificate the face value of which is $1,400. The negro stated that he intends to borrow $700 from the government, buy himself an automobile and ‘rune “likker” and ride the roads, as ho expressed it. The other users of the highways will he* fortunate indeed if they escape that combination. Multiply that case by a few thousand nnd one can readily see the unfortunate part of the situa tion so far a- South Carolina is con cerned. It has- l>een estimated that the* negro veterans in this State are entitled to 48 per cent, of Lho bonus, or nearly $0,000,000. It is safe to say that a large part of them will probably invest in automobiles and “likker’ 4 in which event the motor cycle patrolmen will TK) doubt have their hands full for the next few months and highway fatalities will blossom like the green bay tree, after which, no doubt, there will again-be a return to normalcy and talk of hard times.
