For every dog must have his day, And then his night of doom. The kings are quite as out-of-date As Julius Caesar's pants, Yet, as he quits the stage of state. Each monarch loudly rants. The royal boobs have danced all night, The piper seeks his pay. Now that tha East is growing light With promise of The Day. Nick Romanoff has paid his bill And gently stepped aside; r ranz josei aancea rigni wen until He very kindly died. The late lamented Constantino Held tightly to his crown Until a kick beneath his spine The royal house brought down. The canny, queer, unsaved Chinese Bow down no more to kings, And even the doughty Portuguese Have cut their leading strings. Bye-bye King Karl and Kaiser Bill, The devil take you off, And may you never rest until You join Nick Romanoff. ? By Charles B. Driscoll. Thanksgiving Day. Today is, according to proclamation by the president, a day of national thanksgiving. Recent developments of worldwide importance have been such as to make this year's observance of Thankrgiving day more pronounced than ever before. Peace is assured in the war-ridden countries and all America this year will offer thanks with the truest possible spirit of Thanksgiving. If never before, there is reason this year why the people of all walks of life, and the people ol all nationalities who are residents of this countrv. should give thanks to the Heavenly Father for His many blessings toward us. Keep Your Pledge. Don't forget that victory must be paid for, and that our war exi. nst s do not cease when the actual fighting ceases. It may take mere than two years to demobilize our forces and the formal declaration of peace will mean that we must keep an army equipped , and ready to enforce peace, if it is necessary. It cost many millions to put our fighters in France and it will cost many millions more to get them home. You, as an American citizen, must bear a part of this expense. Your savings are needed by Uncle Sam-nseded badly. Keep your, savings pledge end buy more war savings stamps. Paring It Down. Reports from the Senate finance committee to the effect that the war revenue bill is being pruned, a half billion here and a half billion there, will be far from unwelcome to the man ttfho ultimately must "pay the freight." America is willing to spend what it took to abolish the Hohenzollern menace, but it certainly will not relish any practice of burning public monev iust for the fun of seeing a Are. When statesmen have been for two years in the habit of spendw ing millions where their predecessors a few years back would have thought twice before spending thousands, there is inevitably bred in them a certain liberality of view when it comes to making appropriations. This was necessary and right wmle the war was on, but the sooner their habits of mind revert to normal, the better service they will be able to render their country.Charlotte News. ' Some um gs mystify us and one of t) ese is why the railroad people iu Rock Hid have the bulletin board on which trains are marked tacked to the side of the station away off there beyond the colored waiting room. For hit own .convenience, perhaps the baggage man put up that The Times is in full accord with the suggestion of Supt. John E. Carroll that York county should erect a memorial to her gallant sons who have taken part in the great war, and we agree with him that a more suitable memorial could not be erected than an administration biiilning for educational work. However, in order that such an institution would be more accessible and be seen by a vastly larger number of visitors, we would sug| gest that it be erected on a site opposite Winthrop College in Rock Hill, instead of at York, as suggested. > There is little excuse for any subscriber to The Times not knowing how his subscription stands. Look at the label on page one on which your name appears. It also bears a date and that date signifies the time to which you have paid for the paper. If the subscription is not renewed before the date on the label the paper will be stopped. Now that the wires tell us that the Thirtieth division will return to the States within a short time, let's begin at once to plan for a hearty reception for Captain S. W. Parks and his boys when they re*ch home. Let it be not only a mere hand-shaking wel come, J-ut a rousing demonstration of how glad we are to have the boys back. The cotton growers of the South ought to teach the money sharks of the North a lesson this fall. The farmers are in position to hold their cotton off the market until a reasonable price is offered and they ought to do it. A pig bought now will make a nice hog for you by killing season next year. Eight Divisions Coming Home. It was pleasing news to thousands of Americans that was carried bv a Washington despatch , of Sunday concerning the homeward movement of our boys in Europe. The statement was made that demobilization of the expeditionary forces, already in progress with the movement to this country of our sick and wounded, will be hastened by the return at an early date of eight divisions of National Guard and National Army troops, eight' regiments of coast artillery and two brigades of field artillery. The divisions which. Gonorpl March said, have been designated by General Pershing to return as soon as the sick and wounded have been removed to the United States are: National Guard ? Thirty-first (Georgia, Alabama and Florida); Thirty-fourth (Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and Minnesota); Thirty - eighth (Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia), and Thirty-ninth (Arkansas Mississippi and Louisiana). National Army ?Seventy-sixth (New England); Eighty-fourth (Kentucky, Indiana and Southern Illinois); Eighty fourth (Illinois, including Chicago), and the Eighty-seventh, including Ar kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Southern Alabama. Locally, the above announcement was somewhat disappointing in that the list did not include the Thirtieth division of the N.a.ion?l riunrrt CinrW.# .> VMM* VI UIIV4 Y " first division of the National Army. These two divisions contain a very large percentage of the young men of this section who were called into the service and it was but natural for our people to hope that they would be among the first to reach home. Neglect of Duty a Yet Crime. The State Council of defense is warning the civilian public that encouraging or assisting a soldier to evade his military duty so long as he is in the army is merely aggravating a serious crime, for which the extreme pn<atiy is death, and instead of such connivance, the people are ct?mu upon to assist in every way possible in maintaining the morale of the soldiers to the last day they will be in the service. Those who have members of (their families in the service ; should warn them against any disposition toward relaxation in observance of the strict military rules, both because of maintain; ing the morale of the army and as a protection to the soldier himself. Deserters and those absent without leave from camps will be apprehended and all military rules will remain strictly in force. i ?? State ail Geieral Hews. Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

Million Out by First of Year. The discharge of American soldiers in service on this side is expected to reach the daily rate of thirty thousand by the end of this week or early next week, says a Washington despatch. The machinery for demobilization has been speeded up and the initial work completed. The system for a keeping of records for the men, while somei what intricate, is in charge of experienced officers at each cantonement and camp and no difficulty is being experienced anywhere. : With thirty thousand men bei ing released daily, the first of , next year should find over a mil- ' lion men out of the military ser- 1 vice, including those on Lhis aide and abroad.
