TO REACH EX-SERVICE MEN
WHO NEED HELP

The ex-service man who has most
needed and deserved government aid
on account of disabilities incurred
during the World war has been the
man, either through pride or ignor-
ance, who has not put in his claim.
There are many who have no just
claims who clamor loudly for aid.
Only through the personal word of
some friend who reads this article
may the man who is deserving be
reached and the government is asking
that each person render this patriotic
service.
If there is veteran in your COM
munity who is entitled to compensa-
ton because he has been disabled in
the service the government will settle
with him. Inform him.
If there is a family nearby who are
benefciaries of an insurance policy
which should have been paid, the
government wishes to set the matter
right with them. Inform them.
If there is an ex-soldier that you
know who has lost limb or an eye
and is not able to carry on the work
to which he is accustomed, the gov
ernment want to educate him for use
fulness in one of the vocational
schools. Persuade him.
If there is an ex-service man of
your acquaintance who through gas
or exposure has contracted tubercu-
lcsis or other illness, the government
is anxious to put him in a hospital
with the best of care. Entreat him.
Veterans of the World war having
such claims should see at once Mr..
Jno. C. Goggans, Room 3O4, Ex-
change Bank building, in order that
he may investigate their cases and
get all necessary data to present to
the government officials. The per-
sons whose claims warrant attention
will be sent before the cleanup squad
which is composed of members Of the
War Risk insurance and representa-
tives of the American legion. This
squad will investigate cases from
Newberry in Laurens on Oct. "a, 25,

1t VIII be pleasing news to the
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. c. L. Leitz-
sey and of Mr.. John B. Leitzsey, their
son, to know that a jury in the United
States court has found John B. Leitz-
sey not guilty of the charge of loot
ing the mails while he was acting as
mail clerk on the railroad. The
case was heard in the y. S. court in
Greenville last week, and after hear
ing the evidence and the charge of
the Judge and the speeches of the
lawyers jury has said that he is not
guilty of the charge. We are glad
for the sake of the young man and
for the sake of his mother that he
has been acquitted.
The Greenville News of recent
date has the following in regard to
the case:
John B. Leitzsey. charged with
rifing the mails, was acquitted by a
Jury in the federal court yesterday
morning after it deliberated more
than two hours, during which time
it returned to the court rooms to re-
ceive additional instructions from
Judge Watkins. Leitzsey was charged
with looting letters while in the rail-
way mail service.
The Leitzsey case consumed prac-
tically all of the forenoon. At the
afternoon session, half dozen de-
PENDANTS entered pleas of guilty to
charges of violating the national pro-
hibition act and were sentenced by
Judge Watkins.

TOLBERT REMAINS
PILOT OF PARTY
REPUBLICANS NOT PLANNING
TO REORGANIZE
Greenwood Man to Retain Chair
manship and Distribute
Patronage
The State.

ne SLdCe.
Greenwood, Oct. 14.-Joseph w.
Tolbert, state chairman of the Repub-
lican party in South Carolina, declar-
ed today in a written statement to
The Index-Journal that he did not
get to be chairman by the resignation
of any one else and he has no inten-
tion to pass on the Office that way to
! to another man. He further says there
will be no Reorganization" of the
Republican party in South Carolina
until he issues a call for the meeting
of the state convention in September,
1922 The matter of patronage in
South Carolina is all settled, he
claims.
The statements by Mr.. Tolbert were
sent from Washington, where the
state chairman is staying at present.
With reference to the meeting re-
ported to have been held in Washing
! ton on October 6, he says that it was
not called to consider patronage in
South Carolina, "for that is all set
tied" but was called to discuss how
to strengthen the Republican party
in this state.
Too Many Would Seek
At the meeting October 6 John 7.
Adams, chairman of the Republican
national committee; was present I'd
declared that it would not do for him
to resign, as there would be at least
500 applicants for the job, Mr.. Toll
! bert states.
F.: Speaking of the meeting, Mr.. Toll
j bert says in his statement:
''The meeting was held at Repubh-
can national headquarters. We were
there to consider how to strengthen
the Republican party in South Caro-
lima. Present were: John T. Adams,
chairman of the Republican national
committee; Joseph B. Healing, men,
Der of the committee from Indiana;
Clarence B. Miller, secretary of the
committee; DR.. Williams of Rock Hill
and Mr.. Anderson from Marion, S. c.
CDR. Williams had considerable to
say and was finally asked by Mr.. Kea-
ling whether he would attend a con-
vention in South Carolina where there
were also black men present as dele
gates. DR.. Williams said ne would,
and before he was through, said he
would ask if I would resign. He SEEM
ed to think that I was keeping white
men away. Anderson also seemed to
have about the same idea about how
the Republican party should run its
affairs. He also had no objection to
negroes as delegates.
Does Not Like Kickers
"My answer was that l would not,
and l certainly would not for such
men as are now kicking about me be-
ing chairman"
Mr.. Tolbert further says in his
statement that he would be glad to
have DR.. Williams and Mr.. Ander-
son and all The others in September,
1922, at which time the Republican
state convention would be held and
the party reorganized."
"If they had majority of their
men at the state convention we would
make the election of their men unani-
nous and all go home feeling good"
the state chairman added, "hut l will
call the next state convention"
GAS for C. C. Campbell, ne was
a paid Democratic election manager ,
in 1920 as the records of the Colum-
bia State of October 27, 1920, will
show" Mr. Tolbert also asserted.

benefit of the merchants" and not
for Ward 4. In all probability that
street, which council thought impor-
tant to all of Newberry, would not
have been paved had not Mr.. Wicker
given his signature to the petition
therefor and lent his influence to the
work. l hope he will soon come back
to the proper view, which evidently he
held then-that paving should be done
in Newberry fer the best interest of
the whole town without regard to
ward lines.

ing. Truluck in his alleged confes-
sion implicated his cousin, j. H. Tru-
luck, assistant cashier of the Bank of
Olanta, claiming that he and j. H.
Truluck had committed the entire
robbery by themselves and tried to

other securities and two of the bonds
were two $4,000 Victory bonds that

fession. stated that it was ]. H. Tru-
luck, who furnished the name OF
Jacob S. Schroeder for the renting OF

REQ SPEED WAGONS
AN INVALUABLE AID TO
PUEBLO SUFFERERS

REQ Speed Wagons were the first
vehicles of any description to enter
Pueblo after the recent flood. These
speed wagons, loaded with food, tents,
and bedding for the stricken city,
were forced to travel over roads con-
sidered impossible, but they success
fully ploughed through the mud with
their full supplies.
Adjutant General Hammock of the
U. S. Army, who took charge of the
relief work, selected the REQ speed.
wagons in preference to all other
motor vehicles of any description for
this work. His experience with the
speed wagons in France led him to
make this selection.
In addition to the first Reos which
entered Pueblo under their own pow
er, General Hamrock requisitioned all
that he cold obtain in Colorado
Springs, sending them by train to a
point as close to the city as the train
would take them. Twenty-seven were
furnished by 0. G. Sellers, REQ deal
er at Colorado Springs.
These speed wagons were immed-
lately set to work at assisting in the
clearing of debris caused by the
flood. With relief drivers alternating
they we're kept busy "a hours a day.
Speed Wagons with power pumps
were used to drain cellars where the
water had settled
