THE MARINES.

BY Rudyard Kipling.
The day was far spent like our men.
We had sent
For support, but had waited in vain.
The gray line of fire rolled higher and
higher,
Then wavered and rolled back again.
But we knew if the night should put
down on the fight
We should lose every trench-every
pit,
So we lost heart at last when our
colonel went past
On a stretcher white faced and hard
hit.
Just then from the rear came a weird
yapping cheer
High over the rapid fires hum,
And up went OUR shout as our major
shrieked out,
"Sit tight, lads-the Yankees have
comet"
And they came as at Dover the break
ers surge over
The cliffs, and they smothered the
Hun.
Then-we dropped asleep kneeling-
and standing-all feeling
The job out in front was well done.
They are around us tonight in the ball
rooms bright light
Mid the waltzes' soft ,surges and foam,
Though the hands are now hid in i'm
maculate kid
That once drove the bayonet home.
But we know til are furled the war
flags of the world
What the cult Of blood brotherhood
means
That their Liberty's light will e'er
flash through the night
"SIT TIGHT--TILL SEND MY MA
RINES!"

TOURING TO GREAT FALLS.
Continued from Page Five).

One notes in glancing at the fields
from the back seat of an automobile
that most of the cotton has been
gathered from the fields between
Yorkville and Great Falls. Usually at
this time of year the fields are white
with cotton; but not so this year.
There was little made to pick in the
first place and ideal weather for pick
ing has resulted in the bare appear
ance of the fields so early. Southern
York county has been very hard hit
by the drought and the boil weevil this
year and the Chester county farmers
know all about it, too. Most of the
corn has been pulled and in many
fields the stalks have been cut and
stacked up ready for the shredder to
come along.
1t Is noticeable, though, both in
Southern York and in Chester counties
that more land has been prepared for
the sowing of small grain than is
common in those territories and that
hundreds and hundreds Of broad acres
have already beei4 sown. Farmers
seem to hold the opinion that wheat
and oats especially are going to be

the people of Great Falls at 10 cents
pound. Fish are to be had every
hour of the day and while it takes
lot of fish to supply consumers in a
town of this size, still there appears to
be a never ending source of supply.
Although Great Falls is somewhat
handicapped because of lack of rail-
way facilities, still the fine road be-
tween the town and Chester helps
wonderfully toward solving the prob
lem and the road is kept hot with
passing automobiles. A daily taxi
service between Chester and "the
Falls" is maintained and the big jit-
ney employed on the job is almost al
ways well filled while on Sunday 1t
can hardly accommodate all the
passengers who wish to travel between
the two points.
Because of the good road from
Chester to Great Falls the latter place
has of late months been visited by
many tourists and others travelling to
Florida from the north and east. 1t
used to be that all Of this traffic from
Chester down the Charlotte and Co
lumbia division of the Southern Rail-
way went toward Cornwell, and
that route into Winnsboro; but now
most of those going to Columbia and
from there to Florida come by way Of
Great Falls and the tourists have op-
portunity to see another beautiful tex
tile town of the Piedmont section
that had hitherto escaped them.

mighty valuable next spring and they
are going to make big effort to pro-
duce the home grown kind.
One fits by some handsome farm
residences and fine looking farm lands
between Chester and Great Falls es-
pecially. And in that territory of
course there are some farm lands that
do not look so good. Unusually at
tractive is one large old house of ante
bellum type situated on the left of the
road several miles north Of Great
Falls. There are great wooden
columns in front; it has large airy
rooms and the whole place suggests
an atmosphere of hospitality and
solid comfort, characteristic of so
many country houses in York and
Chester counties in the days before
the War Between the States. Few
residences of this type still remain in
the up country and perhaps it is be-
cause of the scarcity that the large
old mansion described attracted the
attention of the eye of reporter.

TO cHRISTIANIZE JEWS?
Paul Morentz Has Cut Out Big Job
For Himself.

Paul /. Morentz, pastor Of the Jewish
Mission of the United Lutheran church
in Philadelphia, told Lutheran con-
vention in Buffalo, n. Y, a few days
ago that there are 100000 Jews in
America, of whom 100000 are in
New York City, and that these must
be Christianized." We must enter
New York City," Mr.. Morentz said,
and establish there the best equipped
station of its kind in America. If the
Jew has become a menace, it is be-
cause of the neglect Of the Christian
church and its attitude toward the
Jew"

is commonly called, there are fresh
rumors of another monster cotton mill
that the Duke interests propose to
build there. There was such a rumor
several months ago and it was men
toned in The Yorkvile Enquirer at
the time but no definite announcement
ever came. Now there are fresh
rumors and credence is given
the rumors because of the fact that
several of the textile heads OF Great
Falls are now in the east presumably
for a conference with Mr.. Duke and
his advisers relative to the new mill
for Great Falls.
The two cotton mills here now are
running full time both by day and by
night, it is stated and the big mill
town of $500 or more people-some
claim a population Of S,50O-is quite
prosperous. With the completion OF
brick block of stores here some morths
ago merchants from over this state
and North Carolina came to Great
Falls to locate and most of them have
done a good business, although few
moved out after learning from eX-
perience that even a good town like
Great Falls can support certain
number Of business houses and no
more.
The village of Flop Eye" adjoining
Great Falls, property not owned py
the same interests who own the town
of Great Falls but which they would
like to acquire according to report, is
still flourishing pretty well. There
are almost as many stores at Flop Eye
as there are in Great Falls and how all
of them manage to get enough business
to live is rather hard to understand
The drug store there has recently gone
out of business and it is reported that
a few other stores will soon put up the
CLOSED" sign. "Flop Eye" is said TO
bear about the same relation to Great
Falls that Jaurez, Mexico bears to El
Paso, Texas and Chester county police
officers are kept pretty busy from
time to time maintaining law and
order in Flop Eye" since Great Falls
has no control over it.
Fish dealers in Charleston and Nor
folk. it is said, get practically no
business from Great Falls people now,
due to the fact that all the fish con-
sumed in the town are caught in the
creeks and in the Catawba river which
furnishes the power to turn the great
cotton mills here and also is the basis
of the electric current generated to
supply towns in the two Carolinas.

gagged in the business of fishing for

Gin House Burned.

The model little plantation ginning
plant belonging to Mr.. j. B. Scott, and
located just across the road from his
home, five miles south Of Yorkville,
was destroyed by fire Sunday evening,
shortly after sundown. The fire was
of unknown origin, Mr.. Scott being
unable to account for it on any other
theory than rats and matches. He
says the building had been closed
since the previous Friday and so far
as he knows no one had any business
in it during the interval. The fire was
discovered at about o'clock, when
the flames began suddenly to light up
the whole country. Neighbors an
swered promptly, some Of them reach
ing the scene almost as quickly as Mr..
Scott and his family. Working with
fire all about them, the fighters man
aged to save a corn-cob mill and a
tractor; but that was about all. The
loss included Il bales of cotton, the
seed of 13 bales, the gin building, gin,
press, corn mill and engine, Ford truck
and other machinery and tools aggre-
eating in value between three and
four thousand dollars, with no insur-
ance except two-thirds of its value on
the Ford truck. Mr.. Scott thinks that
except for the assistance of his neigh
bors, white and black, he would have
lost his home and maybe other build
ings.
