to amount of such guarantee, also,
concede, in addition the $500 rent
for the ground. and on account Of
the men not having the time to de
vote to this, we will have to pass the
Chautauqua up for the next season.
Although we have gotten one hun

none Of them, individually or collec-
lively, arc willing to assume the re-
sponsibility of collecting same.
We think it very much to your in

very much dissatisfied and this will
put them in a much better spirit to
work fog the success Of the Chautau-

This to become a part Of the CON

JOBLESS YANKS
TOFLl1HT MOORS
Too Proud To Beg
They Become Soldiers
For PAY

NEW York;, August 29.-Job-
less, penniless and hungry hundreds
of American veterans of the World
War are besicging the Spanish CON
sulate here to sign up with the For
eigu Legion which Spain is recruiting
for service against the Moors.
In faded and worn uniforms of the
A. +. r., the ex-service men. many
Of whom have been out of work for
weeks and months. are quite ready to
forswcar. allegiance to the United
] States and to serve under a foreign
/ flag on the edge Of the Sahara for
80 cents a day.
We're not doing it for a lark, "
they declare. Were doing it to
keep life in our bodies. We're hun
gry."
When similar recruiting station
opened IL London last week it was
stormcd by applicants. most Of them
former soldiers who were out of
work and desperate.
Recruiting began here this week.
More than 400 Americans have en-
rolled thus far. Stations may oe
opened in other large cities.
"These men are not bloodthirsty
adventures; they are our own sol
diers of 1917-18, reduced almost to
starvation because they cannot find
work." says Hugh w. Robertson,
assistant to the commander of the
American Legion department of
New York.
These service men were not too
proud to fight, but they are too
proud to beg, We can't find work
for them without the public's co
operation"
There are 100000 World War vet
erans out of work in New York
state, the Legion departments rec
ords show, with 125,000 jobless in

PARROT',r' Gins
IN PRICE WAR
So f farmers Enjoy 81. 90
Rate, Including Bag
ging And Ties

PARROTT, Aug. 29.-The farm
crs Of this community are enjoying a
season Of cheap ginning. On account
of one of PARROTS ginners cutting
the price of ginning from 1915 to
$3.OG, a misunderstanding arose be-
tween the two gins and the price
was put down to $1.00 at Dunn's gin
This is the price for the entire season
and is little above the retail price of
bagging and ties, and these are in
cludcd in the above price, Many
farmers from a good distance are
hauling their cotton here, to get the
benefit of this low priced ginning
On the first day of cheap ginning
this plane ginned 70 bales.

"WALTER RYLANDER
"E. M. VIQUESNEY." ."
Pastor Backs Memorial

The following paragraphs arc from
a sermon preached by Rev Silas
Johnson, at the Lee Street Methodist
church Sunday night on the subject
why Build a Monument to World
War Heroes:
Text: Hebrews 2; 1. "Thereforc
we ought to give the more earnest
heed to the things which we have
heard, else at anytime we should let
them Slip"
"One of mans shortcomings is:
We forget what we ought to remcm-
Der and remember what we ought 20
forget. The purpose of this monu-
ment which we propose to erect is to
remind us of cause, of mighty
struggle, and of the sacrifices made
by Sumter county's representative in
this mighty contest
"Therc are only two questions that
need to be answered in this discus
sion. First, will it benefit us to be
reminded of the ideal which thrust
our soldiers out into this conflict?
Do we need to be reminded Of the
victory they bought with their blood?
Will a reminder of their sufferings
enable us to fight and work for peace
so that wars may be forever blottcd
out? Second, are we able now to
build this monument? If we answer
the first question in the affirmative
then this question is answered also
For we can do what we ough5 to do.
In fact, I fear that The COST OF this
monument will be so small till we
will underestimate its value.
Il am certain that there is a
need to be reminded, lest we forget,
and | am firm in my conviction that
this monument will do SO better than
anything else. And | would like to
give You FIVE good reasons why this
monument:
"To Remind Us"
"First, to remind US OF the victorT
they won. They won for Us a vic
tory commercially. We growl about
hard times, but we know nothing of
hard times. If this war had cont'n-
ued a while longer we might have
had hard times. They put the Job
over and thereby won for us this vic
tory. They won for us and for the
world a moral victory. | do not be.
lieve the world will ever again see
another nation become SO insane that
they believe that might makes right.
| am certain that this lesson has been
taught: There must be a spiritual
+. foundation built upon justice and
righteousness for any cause or ma
/ ton to triumph, and if this lesson
has been taught then you can under
stand what | mean by the moral vic
tory they won for the world. They
won for the world a political victory,
The democratic idea. not the idea that
I am as good as anybody else, but
that everybody else is as good as !

Dear Mr.. Lanicr: Your favor of

Frankly, if that is the feeling it
seems to me that Americus should
take the fve-day circuit.

which you suggest would be d matter

would be impossible, because we

there is vigorous opposition from
large fraction of republicans, who plan
after tomorrow to open the doors for
debate. 1t is expected that President
Harding's special message to the sen
ate in extra session last month will
then be made public.
Immediate action is also planned by

Two Annual Appropriation Bills.
Two of the annual appropriation
bills needed July 1.-The army and navy
budgets-are to he pressed through
early in the session. The army meas
ure, carrying $34G,OOO.0OO, suffered a
pocket veto" by former President
Wilson last March. while the navy bill,
in which the house appropriated $780,
100000 and the senate naval committee
$496. 100000 failed in the senate fight
over disarmament. New Recommended
lions as to a military program are eN-
pected from the administration. Prompt
action on the two bills by the house
lis being predicted. but with further de-
lay in prospect in the senate by further
disarmament agitation. In that con-
ncction. Senator BOrah promises to re-
new his effort for action requesting
the president to have the United
States. Great Britain and Japan
brought into naval reduction con-
ference.
Consider Termination War Status.
International relations promise to
play a large but probably delayed part
in the new congress. OF first consid-
Grafton is termination Of the war status
with Germany and Austria. RestOra-
ton of trade with Russia, Japanese
questions and possibly Panama canal
tolls were other big subjects in the
offins.
In addition to the program of tariff
and tax revision, the republican leader
ship promised hasty action to curtail
immigration. The measure vetoed by
former President Wilson was scheduled
for early passage. possibly first in the
senate while the house is engaged with
fiscal reform.
Other important measures for which
pressure is in prospect:
A new congressional reapportionment
bill. in place of the measure which
failed recently in the senate.
The Calder coal bill for publication
of coal information.
The packer control bill.
Cold storage regulation.
Patent office reorganization.
The Towner maternity aid bill.
