THE RECKONING DAY,

Over there the worlds battle rag
ing fire
And God looks down from above
AS the death toll mounts higher and
higher;
Still we must trust with a heart Of
love.
Over here a mothers heart Is crying,
Her heart torn with anguish and
pain,
For her precious boy who Is dying
Over there amidst the hordes Of
slain.
Some day before a just eternal God
This monster war-lord must stand.
Will he boast then of the lives be-
meath the sod,
And the ruthless destruction
wrought at his command?
Still the battle goes on, and we con-
tnue to wage the fight,
But somewhere-some time--to-mor-
row-who can say?
Right will overcome might
And a king will have his soul to
pay!

Memorial Day, 1918.

(By Effle Smith. Of Louisville, Tenn,
in Nashville Christian Advocate.)
Where, through green shadows on
tho hill.
The May winds softly blow.
The village comes to deck the graves
Made fifty years ago.
Grass covers deep the soldiers sleep.
Moss dims each name and date,
And years OF peace in veterans
hearts
Have stilled all grief and hate.
Yet there. where memory round old
graves
A hallowed splendor makes,
A young face flashes, anguish pale,
a young heart throbs and breaks.
Again the martial hymns are played
For one who hears the strain,
The old. heroic music thrills
With new and poignant pain;
And, shaken by her sorrows storm.
She bends above q stone
And scatters blossoms on the sod
That hides heart unknown.
o long-dead soldier, not for you
Her flowers and tears fall free:
But for grave in far-off France
Which she shall never see.

CHOICE CHEESE FROM "CHOY,
New Industry Expected to Begin Op.
Grafton Next Month.

A new enterprise for Oconee coun-
ty is Cheohee Cheese Factory, Of Ia
massee, which has recently been in
corpOrated with a capital stock of
$1,000. The plant is located on the
land Of the Tamassee Industrial
School.
The organization has been COM
pletcd by the election of a board Of
directors, composed of w. C. Whit
mire, j. Fl. Crenshaw, f. Fl. Albert
son. Jesse Lay, w. l.. Werner, G.. w.
Pitchford, w. NJ. Brown, George M.
Ansel and r. T. Jaynes, with officers
as follows: w. G. Whitmire, presi-
dent; w. l.. Werner. vice president;
II. G. Jones, secretary; George NJ.
Ansel, treasurer.
The enterprise will be under the
supervision and direction Of DR.. w.
w. Long and DIV. Watkins, of Glenn
son College, and experts will be
furnished by the United States gov
ernment. x The machinery has been
bought and the mill building is now
nearing completion. 1t is expected
that operation will begin III about a
month. Its product will be sold un-
der the trade name of "Choy Cheese
Is Choice The corporate name
"Cheohee" was selected because of
its being the name o. the beautiful
valley in the immediate community.
as well as its euphony when properly
pronounced "Choy," and rhyming so
we'll with Cheese and "choice,"
which compose the trade name,
"Choy Cheese is Choice
This Is one Of the wartime indus
tries that Is encouraged by the GOV
ernment. as 1t helps in the produc-
ton and conservation of food pro-
ducts. 1t has been promoted by DR..
w. w. Long. State Demonstration
Agent, and the location of plant Sc
lected by him. In his opinion the
local conditions in the Tamassee
community are favorable for the sue
cess Of the enterprise.
Among the stockholders are thirty
Of the leading farmers Of the commu-
nifty. The milk from about IS COWS
will be used at first, and as the
plant grows the number of COWS will
be increased. The idea Is to afford
local market for milk and to en-
courage the raising of cattle. The
beneficial result to the whole COM
munity will be manifest in the in
creased number Of COWS kept on the
farms, and the indirect benefit will
be the increased fertility of the land.
In the opinion Of Dr.. Long, this
section Of Oconee county is we'll
adapted to stock raising, and the To-
cation Of this plant will enable the
farmers in the community to have a
local market for their surplus milk
and enable them to increase their cat
tie herds.
While this is the first plant of its
kind in the county. it is only the be-
ginning, and it is the purpose of Dr..
Long and his associates to encourage
the establishment of quite a number
of such plants in the upper section
Of Oconee.

flowers are put on soldiers graves is
known in the North as "Decoration
Day" (May 30th). We Southerners
call 1t Memorial Day" (May 1Oth) =.
The custom Of observing such a day
originated in the South. before the
close OF the War Between the States
EARLY in the spring OF each year the
Southern women were in the habit
Of decorating the graves Of their
dead soldiers with flowers Similar
observances were inauguratcd in the
North. May 5th. 1883, Gen. John a. .
Logan, then commander-in-chie of
the Grand Army Of the Republic. is
sued an order fixing May 30th, that
year, for strewing with flowers the
graves Of soldiers. There has been
no Federal legislation regarding
Decoration Day. 1t is legal holi-
day, except in the States Of Idaho and
Texas, which do not observe the GUS
tom.
President Wilson gave the day
this year new significance when he
set II aside as a day OF humiliation,
fasting and prayer for the success Of
our armies, the armies Of our allies.

r. Goodwin Rhett, State director
Of war savings for South Carolina,
has called upon the people of South
Carolina to respond to the war saw
ings call and remove the stigma Of
Stacker from the States name due
to the fact that so far South Carolina
has made the worst showing in the
entire country in the sales OF W.S.S.
In referring to the forthcoming in
tensive campaign which is to be car
ried on from June II to June 2S, Mr..
Rhett made the following statement:
South Carolina stands at the foot
Of the list Of States In it's per capita
purchases Of War Savings Stamps.
During the month Of June, which has
been set aside for an intensive cam
paign in which South Carolina is ex-
pected to pledge to invest not less
than $20,000,000 during the year in
W.S.S., let us see to it that we do our
part and take a more appropriate
place In the roll Of States-and then
we can look forward to a rest from
campaigns until November"
Let us not forget that the gov
ernment Is counting on the nation
buying two billions Of dollars worth
OF these War Savings Stamps during
1918 as part Of Its revenue to pay
for what the boys need on the other
side, and they will have no rest un-
til we supply them with all that
American genius and energy can pro-
duce in SO large measure as will
enable them to win the victory. How
can we expect to rest, how can we en-
dure the thought of resting, when
there Is something for us to do, so
long as our boys are in the trenches
enduring the torments of hell and
giving their lives that we may live in
safety and prosperity"
