MARINE BAND IN TWO
PLEASING CONCERTS
Delighted Thousands at Rodney
Square and Later at Long

Those who heard the United States
Marine Band at its two'concerts yes
terdsy enjoyed one of the finest musi-
privileged to hear in years. AT o'clock
yesterday afternoon concert was
given In. front of the Municipal Build
ing and last evening n concert was
given in Mr.. and Mrs. Pierre S. du
Points conservatory at Longwood.
To Mr.. du Pont belongs the credit
for bringing this band here to delight
music lovers. as well as provide n sub

A record breaking crowd attended
last evenings concert in the beautiful
horticultural building. The band was
seated on the platform at the head of
Exhibition Hall and the huge crowd
filed Exhibition Hall and all the aisles
of the large central building, many
standing in the rear and on the terrace
outside.
Mr.. and Mrs. du Pont proved gra-
cious and considerate hosts, seeing
that everything went off smoothly.
The setting was beautiful. the soft
lights and tropical plants making an
appeal to the eye equal to that made
to the ear by the music. The vivid color
Of the full dress uniform of the band
was in striking contrast TO the blend
ed, greens of the vegetation.
The band members proved them
selves masters OF their art. The skill
with which they swung from a con-

into a spirited marching tune was re-
markable. The attitude of the appre-

BONUS BILL, VETOED
BY PRESIDENT FOR
WELFARE OF NATION
Harding Calls Attention to DAN
gsrous Precedent In Asking
Millions Of Country.
VETO MAY BE 0vERRlDDEN

Washington, Sept. 20.-President
Harding late yesterday vetoed the bill
providing cash bonus and other
forms OF remuneration to men who
served in the World War.
Today the House viii consider the
veto message and Ia expected to pass
the bill over the Presidents disapprov
al.
Conditions In the Senate are uncer-
tain. hut from present indications that
body is likely To, sustain the veto by
the slim margin OF two, or perhaps one
vote. IL these indications eventuate
the bonus bill will die.
AS the bonus measure originated in
the House. il was returned to that
body by the President with a message
giving his reasons for disapproval.
In the Fordney letter the President
Indicated that he was opposed TO a
bill that did not provide means for
paying the bonus. and that a general
sales tax was the only method OF tax
alton he could suggset to raise reve-
nue. To meet bonus obligations. Yes
terday's veto message recalled the
sentiments expressed by the Presi-
dent I'm the F'v<dney letter and showed
that he had not abandoned them.
That the President had not over
looked the political aspect OF the
bonus agitation was apparent from
some of the utterances in the message.
Toward its close he said:
ITO add one-sixth Of the total sum
OF our public debt for n distribution
among less than 5000 900 out OF no.
0o0. 1000. whether inspired by grateful
sentiment or political expediency.
would undermine the confidence on
which our credit is builded and e.
tablish the precedent Of distribut-
Ing public funds whenever the pro-
posal and the numbers affected make
81 seem politically appealing to do 60"
tThe text Of the Presidents veto
will be found in this issue.)
In the Senate the lines are closely
drawn as between those who desire the
bill enacted into law and those who
Will stand with the President. While
uncertainty still exists as 10 the final
outcome, the belief existed last night
that of the total membership of the
Senate. 96. with ca votes necessary to
pass the bill over the Presidents veto.
the bonus forces will have only GO
votes.
Those who stand with the President
must muster 33 votes TO defeat the
motion to pass over the veto. II looks
as If they will have 81.
When the veto message had been
read in the House. Representative
Mondeli. the Republican floor leader.
moved that II lie over until today.
There is now a prospect that Con-
gress will adjourn the session on Fri
day.

Play, instead of work, seems to be
the preferable thing.

Play, instead of work, seems to be
the preferable thing.
But have we the right to take the
line of least resistance, with the heri-
tage that we have, and with the pres
ent and the future that we, as the
coming generation must willingly or
unwillingly help to mould for Ameri-
ca?
Somehow it seems to me that g par
tial solution is work. Concentration if
you are in school, and acceptance of
responsibility if you have job in the
world.
AS 1 write these rambling SEN
tences, I am sitting in a study hall
with students surrounding me.
This subject is worthy of a better
writing than I have given it, but it
must be thus poorly and hastily writ
ten or not at all. Out of the chaff you
may CLEAN some truth.

The Mule Trough at the Base
Of the Monument.
Editor of The Advertiser:
I notice that the iron fence has
been removed from the Confederate
monument and concrete mule
trough has been built at it's base for
the poor old mules to quench their
thirst. Added to this there is a nice
seat around this trough for the ne
groes to sit and smoke and jabber.
Surely this monument must be an
eye-sore and stencil in the nostrils
of the. mayor and aldermen.
This monument does not belong to
them. The Daughters of the Confed-
eracy are the custodians of this mon
ument. 1t was through their effort
that it was erected there, and by
them it was dedicated and consecrat-
ed to the Confederate soldiers Of
Edgefeld county, both dead and liv-
ing, and no man, or set of men has
any right to mar its beauty or to
y f. . p st = -..-.
move 7aiything from it, or to, build
anything around it, unless it is by
the consent and approval of the
Daughters of the Confedracy. And I
am sure that they entered thei.: pro-
test against this mule trough, and the
moving of the iron fence which was
protection to the monument. l
know who had that fence put there,
but who took it down, and who got
it? If these gentlemen did not say-in
so many words, they did by their ac-
tions, "We will take down this fence
and put mule trough here" Well,
the darkies couldn't sit on the fence,
but they can sit on the base from
early morn until dewy eve.
l look upon that monument as be-
ing as sacred as the tomb at my
mothers grave. And 1 say that the
council has just as much right to
make hitching post of Col. Bacon's
or Col. BANDS monument as they
had to put trough at the base of
this monument, for old mule frames
covered with little hide and hair,
in order that they may stand there
for hours at time.
How are the ladies going to deco
rate this monument with flowers in
May? Echo answers, "How"'
The trough is a desecration to the
monument. 1t is burning shame; it
is dishonor to the dead soldiers of
the Confederacy; a slap in the face of
every ling veteran and gross in
suit to the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy. And if ] were them would
publish it from Dan to Beersheba;
would tell it in Gath and would
proclaim it in the streets of Askalon,
"Palsied be the tongue and withered
be the arm that speaks or acts light
ly of Confederate past"
