Thn Kings Kick In.
The kings now plod their weary way
To where the daisies bloom.
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The kings are quite as out-of-date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

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.

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

of how glad we are to have

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

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.
