classes of disabled veterans has d
provision which states that applica-
ton for vocational education must

This provision Of the Rehabillta-
ton Act means that those who have

this government aid.
There are several ways IN winch
this application for vocational tram
ing can be made. Application may
be made by writing a letter to any
one Of the Bureau Offices expressing
a desire to apply for the training
which the Government offers. 1t
should be remembered that it is me-
cessary for the applicant to sign his
name so that the Bureau may con-
slider the application as made by the
man himself. Wherever it is possible
it is best for the applicant to make
his application in person at n OF
the District or Sub-District offices OF
the Veterans Bureau. Application
forms may be obtained at any of
the bureau offices or from the Am
erican Legion, American Red Cross,
the Disabled American Veterans of
Foreign Wars and other cooperating
agencies. These forms should be
signed, filled out, and forwarded to
one of the Veterans Bureau offices.
If a form is not available, a letter

plication will be considered. How

this date will be too late and per-
sons SO applying will have lost the
privilege of taking advantage Of vo-
cational training provided under this
Act.
The U. S. Veterans Bureau has
called this provision of the Rehabili-
tation Act to the attention of Vet
eran organizations and have request
ed them to inform all ex-service men
of the necessity of making early ap-
plication. Persons who are in doubt
as to whether or not they have a

BoYD's FERRY BRIDGE

Although the presence of quick sand
in the river and on the river banks
has proved a set back to construction
work on the Boyd's Ferry Bridge now
being built across Catawba river in
the extreme northern part OF York
county by York county and Meck!en-
burg county, n. c., the work is now
going on at a satisfactory pace ac-
Cording to w. w. Miller York county
engineer who was asked about the
bridge project yesterday.
Piers on the river bank both of
the York and Mecklenburg county
sides have now been constructed ito
water level, Mr.. Miller said. Practi-
cally all of the steel and other mater
ials have been laid on the site of the
work and their erection will begin
shortly. Although the entire length
of the bridge is 1900 feet and eleven
spans are necessary there is no span
in the river proper. The width of the
channel is only 800 feet and it was not
considered necessary to build span
in the river.
Quick sand, however, has caused
the work of building the big bridge to
be slow and tedious, the quick sands
tIIllc dlltl III liu
up the work of building piers that it
was believed had been placed on firm
foundation.
While there is a good road on the
Mecklenburg side of the Catawba
leading toward Charlotte there Is
practically no road on the York coun-
ty side for distance of about one
mile and one-half and it will be nee
essary to construct practically new
road on the York county side to con-
meet with the Bethel township road.
The county engineer said that the
board OF commissioners would prob
ably receive bids at their July meet
ing for the construction of this road.
1t is proposed to build it during the
lay-by time this summer and 1t is
believed that 1t can be completed in
a month.
AS matters stand just now, how
ever, York county is in the position of
almost having in her possession an
interest in n fine bridge over Catawba
with no way TO get to 1t by q mile and
half. -

the steady IMPROVEMENT and uplift of
the blacks, the time when whites and
blacks can go to the polls on equal
terms is long way off, if indeed it can
ever come.
If so be that congress shall decide to
cut the representation of South Caro-
lima in congress unless the blacks are
allowed free and equal representation
in the Federal elections, it is our de-
liberate opinion that South Carolina
will suffer the cut without a murmur,
and it seems to us that men who un-
derstand the situation in this state
as well as do Maj. John F. Jones and
Joe w. Tolbert would be content TO
forego full representation in the Ma
tional Republican convention, rather
than try to secure the same by resort
ing to the black vote.

BAD CHECKS INCREASE

That worthless checks are increas-
ing in number rather than decreasing
despite the fact that the recent gen
eral assembly passed a law supposedly
with teeth" in it, relative to the mat
ter is the opinion OF various York
county magistrates and business men
interviewed relative to bad checks yes
terday.
When the reporter inquired the
whereabouts Of a prominent business
man he was told that He is out in the
country trying to collect come bad
checks given him recently in payment
for goods"
And the clerk went on to say:
Really, it is getting so bad that we
are almost afraid to cash anybody's
check. You have no idea how bad 1t
is"
A young man of Yorkville, bright
and ambitious who makes spending
money by clerking in local store
Saturdays, learned his lesson well last
Saturday relative to cashing checks
for people he does not know. a farmer
came into the store and purchased
some goods, rendering a check for
$3.50 which the young man cashed
The farmer went out and the young
clerk went back with the check 10 the
boss and asked if ii was all q. k.
Take it to the bank and find out" j"
said the proprietor who knew full well
that the check was not worth the pa
per it was written on.
1t was n crestfallen young clerk who
returned a few minutes later with the
information that the check was no
good. Determined to find the farmer
who had given him the check if posSi-
BILE, he rushed out into the street and
began searching for him. There were
many farmers on the streets Saturday
but the farmer who had issued that
check was not among them and the
clerk Is out $3.50.
In discussing the matter the other
day one of the magistrates gave 1t as
his opinion that some people were
deliberately passing worthless checks
rather than attempting to borrow
money from bank. In nine cases
out of ten where a man gives bad
check for say $50" said the magis-
t1ate, "all the merchants or persons to
whom it is given wants his money
back. Thus a person may give
check, keep the money two or three
months or maybe a year and then
settle for the principal without inter-.
est. Numbers are working that game"
But the prize check flashing story,

FISHING WITH FEET

Ever hear of anybody catching cat
fish with their feet?
Clair Harper we'll known farmer
and fisherman of Tirzah does it, ac-
cording to his friend John Sadler, Of
Tirzah who is also an ardent fisher
man and who does n lot of fishing
with Mr.. Harper.
Last week, according to n story
that Mr.. SadJer told the reporter yes'
terday, he and Mr.. Harper were fish
ing in the back waters between Big
and Little Allison Creeks in the Nc
Caw's quarters section of EbeneZer
township.
Harper who is feet, inches tall,
weighs 225 pounds and wears No. IL
shoes. When he goes into the water
after fish he takes off his shoes.
Well, anyway, according to Sadler.
Harper was in the water last week,
and the water was so deep that he had
TO stand almost on tiptoeS to keep his
mouth above.
There was plenty Of cat fish there
and Harper felt several near his feet.
He put those No, 1Ss on fish under
each foot.
"All right, Sadler," he called. 'Pve
got CHI ldSl, IlO" yOu uiNC uihNi 'A''
get en-"
Sadler is like duck ingthe water.
He made a dive for Harper's feet and
came up in a few seconds with two
big cats which had been held under
the feet.
The stunt was repeated until the
fishermen had plenty of fish to make
pot of fish soup. 4
If these fishermen who never fish
with hook and line fail to catch them
with Harper stepping on them and
Sadler diving after them, they never
fail to find fish in hollow stumps un-
der water, it is said.
They hit the water and begin gous-
ing stumps with their hands. A mess
of fish is always the result.
"No, there wasn't a chance Of those
catfish cutting Mr.. Harper's feet with
their sharp FMS" said Mr.. Sadler in
telling of the incident. why man his
feet are as tough as whit leather.
"And they are not such big feet
either. Remember he is 6 feet Z
inches tall"

John T. Duncan has again fled his
pledge and paid his assessment as a
candidate for governor. That Mr.. DunH
can has as mucb/right to run for gov
ernor as any man in South Carolina,
no man can deny; but in view of his
past experiences. why he should want
to run, no man can understand. He
has run and has never gotten any
where. Whether he is a normal nan
or a crank, there is difference of opIn-
ion; but granted that he is normal
man the people are not willing to take
him seriously, or if>they are willing to
take him seriously, they are unwilling
TO vote for him. While there is no
way to help it, it seems a pity that he
should be allowed to fritter away time
which, so far as the average audience
is concerned could be more acceptably
employed by some one else.
