FOUND BOIL WEEVILS
IN HIS BARN LOFT

Westminster, Feb. 4.-Some peo-
pie claim the boil weevil hibernates
in the weeds and broom sage, only,
but according to Mr.. Frank Bolt, a
prosperous farmer who lives two or
three miles from town, this is not en-
tirely true. While recovering his large
barn last week, Mr.. Bolt had occa-
sion to emove some loose plank in
the loft which made a trough of shat
tered fodder, where he found a gal
lon of full grown weevils.
According to Mr.. Bolt the weevils
and wintering in good safe places
and it will be a hard job to kill them
all out by burning stalks and hedges:

To Prosecute Lawyers.

There have been reported to the
district office of the United States
Veterans bureau a number of in
stances in which attorneys are charg-
ing claimants who applied for COM
p%ensation or vocational training fees
in excess Of the amount allowed by
law, VIII. CHI amount is $500 for each
claim filed.
The bureau has adopted the policy
of prosecuting every attorney or 9TH
er person illegally charging fees in
excess of $500 for handling claims
against the bureau. It is not neces-
sary that a claimant take his case to
a lawyer, inasmuch as this bureau
will assist him in the preparation of
his claim and inform him of the pa
pers necessary and will not recognize
any attorney in the presentation of
any claim against the bureau.

Meeting Yesterday.

The Legion held it's first regular
meeting since it's reorganization yes
terday afternoon, with most of the
local members present. Among other
matters discussed was the question Of
the Women's Auxiliary. A move will
be made in the near future to get
this important branch of the work
organized. At present the membership
of the Abbeville post is too small to
Justify the formation of the auxiliary
as the qualifications for membership
in the latter organization depend on
the former. A committee was ap-
pointed yesterday to see ex-servlce
men who at a previous meeting ex-
pressed the desireto join the Able
Vile post. w. D. Wilkinson and G. G.
Swetenburg are the members of this
committee. RM

The Bonus Question

Abbeville Post, No. 2, has not dis
cussed the bonus law, and a majority
opinion on the subject has not been
sought. This question may be brought
up for discussion at the next meet
ing. The state department at one of
it's first meetings went on record as
being opposed to the bonus until
proper provision had been made for
the wounded and otherwise injured
e~x-service men. If a referendum
could be had from every ex-service
mar in the county it is probable &C.
cording to some, that a majority
would favor the passage of the law.
1t has been suggested, whether wise
ly or unwisely, that a bonus law
might prove cheaper for the govern
ment in the end, since the law is
understood to carry a provision that
no further pensions will be granted.
after ALL" says one member, "there
is not much difference between pay
ment in a lump sum land having the
agony over with than the yearly pay
ments that would be sought for the
next century, as has been the case
after previous wars. If the present
bonus measure is a vote getting
scheme, once it is over the political
question would be removed and the
politicians could hunt up something
else to use as a vote-getting lever.

BILLY SUNDAY HEARS
FROM FRANK DUPRE
Boy Convicted Of Murder Thanks
Evangelist For Letter To
Governor Hardwick

Spartanburg, Feb. 8.-Rev. "Bil-
ly Sunday yesterday received a let
ter from Frank B. Dupre, a 49,
year-old white boy who is in a cell
in the tower in Atlanta, under
death sentence, earnestly thanking
the great evangelist for his recent
letter to Gov. Thomas W. Hardwick
Of Georgia asking him to commute
DuPre's sentence 20 life imprison-
ment.
DuPre was caught in the act of
%burglarizing an Atlanta jewelry
shot and killed Irby C. Walker, a
sho tand killed Irby c. Walker, a
Pinkerton detective, well known in
Spartanburg. He vas tried and con
victed and the death sentence i'm
posed.
Mr.. Sunday last week wrote Gov
Hardwick, saying that in view Of
the youth of the lad; the fact that
he was intoxicated at the time he
broke into the store and subse-
quently killed Detective Walker, in
his judgment the law would be vim
Dictated if Governor Hardwick
would commute the lads sentence
to life Imprisonment. He sought no
notoriety or newspaper publicity in
doing this act for a helpless fellow
man, but the news was given out
from the governors Office to the
Atlanta papers.
Mr.. Sunday was deeply touched
by the letter he received from
young DuPre yesterday. In read
ing it over to a friend his voice
shook when he came to that pas
sage, "Mr. Sunday, won't you
please say a prayer for me-" OF
course, this request will be grant.
ed. Mr.. Sunday is the kind of big
hearted red-blooded man whose
heart goes out to the underdog; he
knows that side of life. His early
days were spent in orphan homes
and his diploma comes from the
university of hard knocks. One of
the great secrets of his success as a
preacher and soul-winner, aside
from his personality, is the very hu-
man touch that runs through every
thing he says and does. The man or
woman, no matter how vile or sim
full, feels drawn toward him.
Following is the letter from Du-
Pre-:
Fulton Tower,
Atlanta, Ga.
Rev. W. A. Sunday,
My Dear Sir:
1 have just read in the paper
your letter asking Governor Hard
wick to commute my sentence.
Mr.. Sunday, I want to tell you
how much I appreciate your kind
ness. I have been reading your SER
mons that you preached in Spartan
burg and I think they r wonder
full. I want to tell you I think you
are a gift to the human race and
you should be appreciated by
everybody for your great work.
Mr.. Sunday, won't you please say
a prayer for me-; I certainly will ap-
p~reciate it if you will.
I end my letter with many
thanks to you.
Yours devotedly,
