SIXTY DOLLARS BONUS
To Be Paid to Soldiers Discharged
Since April 6, 1917.

,
Section 1406 Of the Revenue Act
approved February "a, 1919 author.
ICES the payment of bonus of $50
to officers, soldiers, field clerks and
nurses of the army upon honorable
separation from active service by
discharge, resignation or otherwise
This bonus is not payable to the
heirs or representatives of any de-
ceased soldier.
Those who are discharged hereaf-
Ter will receive this bonus on the
same roll or voucher upon which they
are paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the. $50 bonus should
write a lteer to the zone finance
officer, Lemon building, Washing
ton, D. c., stating their service since
April 6, 1917, the date of last dis
charge and their present address to
which they desire their bonus checks
to be sent and enclosing with this
letter their discharge certificate or
military order, for discharge and
both, if both were issued.
Upon the receipt by the zone II
nance office, Washington, D. c., CT
this information and the soldiers
discharge certificate, this Officer
will cause checks to be drawn and
mailed to the claimants in the order
in which their claims were received
by him. The discharge certificate
will be returned to the soldier with
the check.
1t is estimated that at least one
million and a quarter persons have
been discharged from the service
who are entitled to the benefits OF
this Act and while payments will be
made as expeditiously as practicable,
it will manifestly take considerable
time to write and mail this many
checks.

CHARLESTON REACHING OUT
Some of the Attractions Offered to
Visitors From the Interior

Charleston, March 12-With the
business of war behind it, Charleston
is bestirring itself to reach out and
improve its acquaintanceship with its
neighbors in this section of South
Carolina. For long time the sea-
port has wished to get closer to the
people on whom it depends to a
large extent for prosperity and
growth, but the opportunity for an
organized, concerted movement in
this direction did not present itself
before. Now the business men of the
city are determined to do what they
can to make the people of lower and
Eastern South Carolina feel that
Charleston Sis their town just as
thoroughly as it is the town of those
who live within its limits.
The move to make Charleston bet
ter known to its neighbors begins in
connection withp plans for a spring
opening to be held by the Retail
Merchants Association of the Char
lesion Chamber of Commerce, March
90 and 21, to which people in niegh-
boring towns and counties are invit-
ed. This will be in the nature of a
fashion festival in which nearly all
the retail concerns of any import
ance will take part, showing the new
spring goods in the most attractive
Ways and competing for prizes for
the best decorated windows, the best
advertisements, etc. The spring open
ing will be the first showing of the
new seasons goods and it is planned
to make it a much larger and. more
interesting event than the semi-an-
nual fashion show which it succeeds.
BUYERS are now in New York and
other markets to take advantage Of
the last-minute productions of
spring.
Another inducement to people in
nearby towns to visit Charleston at
this season is found in the fact that
the world-famous Magnolia Gardens
will be in full bloom from about the
middle of March to the middle OF
April. Artists and lovers of beauty
come from literally all parts Of the
world on purpose to see these Won
derful masses of azaleas, japonicas,
and other beautiful flowers and
shrubbery. Thomas Nelson Page, the
famous Southern writer, now am
bassador to Italy, said he thought
them the most beautiful gardens he
had ever seen.
On the industrial and military
sides, Charleston now presents spe-
cial interest to South Carolina visit
ors. For one thing, it is expected
that the Thirtieth Division will be
sent back through this port at an
early date. The many military and
naval establishments here are run
ming in full swing. The great port
terminals constructed by the govern
ment at a cost of s20,000,00O are be-
ginning to do business. The Stand
ard Oil Company has purchased a
large tract of land on the waterfront
for building large*eil refinery that
may mean a good deal to people in
the interior of the State. Other in
dustrial developments are going for
ward rapidly. There is talk Of build
ing a large new hotel, scores OF
dwellings are rising everywhere to
care for the increased population,
and several modern apartment houses
are TO be built this year. Folk in
rneighboring counties who have not
visited Charleston N some time will
probably find a good many new
things of interest if they come here

the fact that the Legislature follow
ed out the only course provided in
the federal constitution. That doc
ument makes no mention of submit

people of n state. The so called ma
jorlty against woman suffrage In

LEGISLATURE was working on ma
sional question under rules prescrib-
cd by national authority. Besides
that. the amendment was ratified by
votes from Senators and representa-
,ives from districts and counties that
had voted for suffrage, and further

and instructed the Legislature IN al
