the track he sat there no longer. He
got out on the track. Well, he didn't
stay there long because all the hoss
men could see that he was a judge
of race horses, and in about the
time it takes to tell it, he was on
the judges bench rafting two silver
dollars in his right hand breeches
pocket and ready to judge the races.
And he did. He said Will Ferguson
will win the race. He knew Will
would win, he said.
Altogether, he said that he was
entirely satisfied with the day he
spent in Greenwood, but he would
have been little more so if Rip Van
Buster Howie and the others boys
had pushed it over for a few more,
he said. Dick Parker said Abbeville
beat them worse than the score show
ed, but Colonel Wilson said he would
take that remark under considera-
ton and give his answer later.
When he got home he found that
he had had a fine, days business and
if nothing happens he expects to at
tend the next fair at Greenwood and
see the races. But he says he wants
to attend real fair, and that if
Greenwood does not get rid of the
carnival shows they will kill the fair
just as was the case in Abbeville.
Besides the tents keep fellow from
seeing the horses all the way around
the track and he loses a part of what
he pays to see, the Colonel declares.

THE BONUS ISSUE.

According to reports from tn
meeting of the American Legion tn
fight for bonus is to continue. Th'
fight is being waged by the officer
of the Legion rather than by th'
soldiers we think. The organization
is somewhat in the position of the la
bor unions-the soldiers most con
cerned are making no big fuss abou
the demand, but the officers mus
keep up some kind of excitement o!
there would be no use for the offic
ers.
The chances of securing the pass
age of a bonus bill in the next con-
gress as we'll as the merits of such
a bill we think are covered by an
editorial taken from The Constitu-
ton, of Atlanta, in which we find
the following:
During it's last session congress
passed a bonus bill which pleased the
American Legion.
"The president vetoed it, and its
supporters in congress were not nu-
mericallyT strong enough to override
the veto.
If.the same sort of asbill is pass
ed again by this or the succeeding
congress under the Harding admin,
istration it probably will likewise be
blocked by presidential disapproval.
$50 the only means by which the
bonus advocates can hope to see
such a bill enacted into law is to
elect enough senators and represen'
tatives in congress to overcome the
presidential veto; and that does not
seem possible.
"The truth is large number OF
those who voted for the bill in the
last session did so for political rea-
sons only, knowing that the presi'
dent would prevent the bill from be,
coming law.
"But for the knowledge that the
president would veto the bill many
in congress who voted and professed
to be for it would have voted against
it, because at heart they, and the
American people generally are at
heart opposed to adding four or five
billions to the burdens of the tax
payers to pay gratuities to ablebod.
led former service men, only min
ority Of whom even crossed the ocean
during the world war and of that
minority only comparatively few
saw any fighting,
ELSEWHERE in his report the re-
tiring commander said the first re-
sponsibility of the legion is for the
welfare of the disabled soldiers.
"He is right. The first responsible
ity' not only of the legion, but of
the government and the American
people is to the disabled soldiers.
"If the legion will restrict the
scope of its bonus proposal to that
principle-confine it to the disabled
soldiers-no patriotic citizen, in con-
gress or out, will oppose it.
But having congress pass and the
president approve a bill providing
for all who wore a uniform during
the war period, regardless of service
performed and regardless of the
present physical condition Of the
beneficiary, is altogether different
matter.
Such a movement has little chance
for success, and the legion errs II
keeping it alive"

fits Of the public and school, libraries,
what of your library at home. No
doubt you will use this library more
than any other for you will have
more time TO spend at home than
anywhere else. The home library
usually contains books Of your own
liking or taste or by an author that
you especially admire or enjoy read
ing. Especially will you have books
on your own vocation or occupation.
But, are Libraries in all homes?
In many instances those who are most
able to have a good library are the
ones in which a library and know
ledge of books are absent. They are
blind to both the pleasure and the
benefits of reading. They do not
realize that the time and mental en-
ergy devoted to reading is the best
possible sort of an investment for
the reason that when books are used
and read judiciously they help all of
us to help ourselves. We will soon
realize, however, that the man who
fortifies himself through books, which
contain the best thoughts of the best
minds will have no obstacle or handi-
cap in the race for success.
