INCREASE IN WESTERN

During the past year there has been
a greater demand for farm lands IN

Paris Island, s. C.-"Tell It to the
marines"
That's all the comfort superstltious
negroes got when they whispered, to
white sco1ers. Of buried pirate treas
ure on a little island near here.
But that was years and years ago,
long before United States marines es.
tablished their recruit depot at Paris
Island for the training Of navy soldiers
for duties on land, at sea and in the
air.
The negroes had it that Jean LATTE,
the swashbuckling pirate of the Mexi.
a gulf, had buried a treasure chest
near Paris Island. And so they told
their children and their children told
the United States marines when they
established a recruit depot at Paris
Island in 1914.
Why Not, indeed!
In these days Of intensive training
for troops, trenches must be dug in or
der to truly simulate west front con.
ditions.
Well, then, why not dig the trenches
somewhere near the spot negro tradl.
ton said the pirate treasure lay?
Not that the marines had any idea
there was treasure there. Oh, mol!
You can tell marines a whole lot of
things but to get them to believe them
is another matter. World travellers
that they are, they are sophisticated.
If not blase.
Still, digging away over the site Of
the buried treasure would add d new
zest to the task-would get the
trenches completed in jig time, and
would prove to the darkies that the
whole thing was a myth.
Now then, here's the spot our story
begins to differentiate from the ED.
