LEGION QUERIES
SENATOR HARRIS
Asks His Stand on Sold
iers’ Bonus Legisla
tion
An expression of where he stands ,
on the soldier’s bonus bill, recently
passed by the house, is asked of Sen l - I
ator W. J. Harris in the letter mail- <
ed to him yesterday by John D. Ma- |
this Post No. 2, Americus Legion, j
J. G. Holst adjutant. Following is a
copy of the letter:
“Hon. W. J. Harris, Washington, |
D. C. i
“Dear Sir:—Members of the local :
post of the American Legion are very '
much gratified to learn that the ways !
and means committee of the house I
have made a favorable report on the i
measure to corhpensate former serv- ■
ice men.
“If one will but reflect for a few ‘
moments he will readily see that the
men who sacrificed their profession
or business and tendered their serv
ices to their government are entitled
to all that the American Legion is
asking.
“Inasmuch as those members of '
congress who left their posts to en
ter the various branches of war ac- ;
tively, received their regular com-|
pens-tion from their vacated post in
addition to whatever pay they may
have received from the particular j
branch which they happened to serve,
we think it only right that the in- !
dividual who left his profession or
business, which in turn was absorbed
by those who stayed at home, and
who received while in the service
the paltry sum of only thirty dol
lars per month, should receive a rea
sonable compensation for his loss of
time and money.
“We wish to call your attention to
what our Allied belligerents have
done for their service men. Can the
United States afford to do less? The
former service man is not asking for
remuneration for his patriotic serv
ice but he is asking for an adjust
ment of an economic condition that
he is facing because of the war. The
fulfillment by congress of the Le-‘
gion program will mean much to him. i
“Can we depend on you to give
this measure your hearty support and
in the mean time will you not favor
us with an expression of your posi
tion on this matter? Sincerely |
yours,
“JOHN D. MATHIS POST NO. 2,

SATAN TEMPTED
AND PARSON FELL
Colored Preacher And
Deacon Heavily Fined
For Guzzling
Rev. Henry Clay, a negro preacher
living in Lee county, told Judge Har
per, of the city court, Saturday af
ternoon, after he had entered a plea
of guilty to the charge of having
whiskey in his possession contrary to
law, that he hoped the judge wouldn’t
let the facts leak out, for the breth
ren most certainly would have him
up before the conference if they
heard of it and he didn’t care for
that. He did not mind the slflo or

Sumter county, was an Americtis
visitor Friday, coming to consult
with County Engineer Ansley. He
stated that his firm was ready to
set up its equipment h ue for work
on short notice.
Charles Culpepper, Jr., arrived in
Americus Thursday to spend the hol
idays with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Culpepper, at their home on
Lee street. He is a student at Emory
University this season.
Henry Clay, who is a student at
Emory University this year, is in
Americus for the Easter holidays,
and is with his mother, Mrs. Mary B.
Clay, at her home on Taylor street.
W. M. Humber returned Saturday
morning from Atlanta where he
went to rush along fertilizer ship
ments for the farmers of this vi
cinity.
Doris and Grace Collins are spend
ing the week-end with their grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Hill, at
Montezuma.
Plumber Thought He
Needed New Pipes
“My stomach and intestines were
always full of gas and I often had
severe colic attacks. The pain and
soreness caused me to think I need
ed a new set of pipes. Since taking
Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy all this
has disappeared find my only trouble
now is to make enough dough to buy
all the food I’d like to eat.” It is
a simple, harmless preparation that
removes the catarrhal mucus from
the intestinal tract and allays the in
flammation which causes practically
all stomach, liver and intestinal ail
ments, including appendicitis. One

so much, for he might find a friend
who would help him out of that pre
dicament, but finding a friend in con
ference undervthe circumstances was
different matter. And so the judge
didn't breathe a word of it.
What made it worse, Parson Clay
stated, was the fact that conference
was now in session, and ho was due
to be there Saturday—certainly not
later than Sunday. He said that he
was pastor of Rebecca church, in
Dooly county,' and was on his way
there when Satan appeared in the
form of a bottle of freshly made corn
liquor. The parson was arrested, in
company with Mitchell Daniel, Jr.,
gray haired negro, said to. be one of
his deacons, near Leslie. Both had
been drinking heavily. They were
brought to Americus by S. L. Cox.
bailiff. Deacon Daniel was given the
same fine as the parson. Both spent
last night in the county jail.
Inasmuch as neither could tell any
thing about the person from whom
they bought the liquor, the officers
were of the opinion that they may
have had some knowledge of its
origin themselves.
