Backward, turn backward, o Time in
your flight!
Give me mother again just for to-
night.
Mother, come back from the forum
and mart,
Take me again to your arms and
your heart;
1 need you now in my sorrow and
care,
To take the rough tangles all out of
my hair;
But over my sleep you no longer
watch keep;
Rock me to sleep, daddy, rock me to
sleep.
Tired Of going without dress and the
shoe,
Mother, o mother, we all need you
All over the town the grass has
grown green,
Faded the flowers that grow in be-
tween;
I've struggled all day with a pas.
sionate pain,
And eagerly waited your coming
again;
But I've waited in silence so long
and so deep;
Rock me to sleep, daddy, rock me
to sleep.
To my poor soul as the night draws
nigh,
NO song so sweet as your old lullaby;
No other love ever abides and en-.
dures,
So faithful, unselfish, and patient as
yours;
I long for a mother to charm away
pain,
From the sick soul and care-worn
brain;
But now deep slumbers DER my eye
lids Creep
Rock me to sleep, daddy, rock me to
sleep.
Come. let thy brown hair, prepared
for the poll,
Fall on my shoulders again as of
old:
To comfort and soothe and give me
sweet rest,
Daddy Is doing his very level best
While you for reform are maxine
your plea.
My heart is breaking for vision OF
thee:
Lonely and weary I only can ween :
Rock me to sleep. daddy. rock me Ia
sleep.

Corporal Lexington Brown went to

was assigned to duty on the English
front and it was here where he was
gassed August 18th, 1918. He was

mained until May 1919 when he was
sent back to the states. After coming
home he was discharged from the
service and sent to a private sanitor-
Ium by the government in Tuscon,

live the gass which had disabled him
for life until he died April 30th.

Claimed that This Piece OF Road Is

Hearing to be Held Soon.
Pee Dee Advocate.

Pee Dee Advocate.
The Bennettsville and Cheraw
Railroad Company has maCe applica-
ton to the South Carolina railroad
commission for permission to aban-
don and take up eleven miles of it's
track, the piece between Brownsville
and Sellers. The road now runs
from Kollock, where it connects with
the Seaboard, to Sellers, connecting
there with main line of the Coast
Line. 1t also connects at Bennetts-
vile with the Coast Line.
1t is claimed that the road gets
very little business south of Browns
vile, and that section is being oper-
ated at big loss. Figures prepared
by the company for the railroad COM
mission show that there was a loss
of $4,000 on this IL mile section
last year.
Railroad Commissioners Shealey
and Arnold We're here several days
ago, and went over the Brownsville
Sellers section with President Heck
art and other officers of the B. and
G. 1t was decided that a public

and Sellers end of the road. The
date and place of this hearing has
not yet been announced.
J There is a railroad, the Marion
Southern, running from Brownsville
to Marion, an d crossing the Coast
Line about two miles southeast OF
Sellers This almost parallels the

Grated passenger trains, and there Is
no probability that it ever will. Ir
fact, the road is now rapidly falling

DILLON CAN DO AS WELL

DR.. S. G. Henslee, who was a mem.
Der Of the party of Dillon physicians
that attended the meeting of the N
G. Carolina Medical Association at
Pinehurst several days ago, was very
much impressed >ith the many fine
Peach orchards he saw in the Pine
hurst section. The orchards gave
promise of such abundant yields this
year that DR.. Henslee was moved to
make some inquiries concerning the
Pinehurst peach industry and he
gathered quite a lot of valuable In
formation which he is passing on to
his Dillon friends Great riches were
re6ped from the Pinehurst peach or
chards last year, said DR.. Henslee.
There is very little expense attachd
to the cultivation Of the peaches, and
when the trees begin to bear it is like
taking nuggets out Of q gold mine.
Peaches brought fancy prices last year
said DR.. Henslee. and many growers
have sold the 1921 crop ahead at fan
cy prices. DR.. Henslee examined the
soil carefully and he says we have the
same character of soil on the east
side of Little Pee Dee. He is OF the
opinion that the sandy lands of the
| Pee Dee can be made to produce as
abundantly as the lands OF the Pine
hurst section, and if these lands were
COY cred with fruit-producing peach
trees they would be worth more per
acre than the best cotton and tobac
&C lands in the county DR.. Henslee
impaired the information he gather
ed to Messrs. ISeah Mckenzie and
Pearl Virgins, prosperous farmers Of
the Mt. Calvary section, and they be-
CAME so much interested that they
have decided to make trip TO Pine
hurst and study the peach growing
industry at first hand The editor OF
| the Herald has seen these Pinehurst
peach orchards and shares Dr.. Hen
s!ee's opinion that the same industry
can be made just as profitable in Dill
Ion county. The land is the same and
if the orchards were cultivated under
the personal supervision of our land
owners We believe the production
would be greater because the Pine
hurst orchards are owned by men
who live in the north and the grow
inr of the peach crops is under the
supervision of hired men. We trust
Messrs. Mckenzie and Virgins will
make visit to this very interesting
section and after making their inves.
Itlgatioys decide to engage in the in
dustry.
