MADE IMMORTAL BY GOETHE Leipzig Tavern in Which Poet Located Scene in "Faust," Was Well known Gathering Place. Auerbach's cellar was a tavern at Leipzig which disappeared in 1912., It owed its chief fame to ( oethe, who in this place located the scene in "Faust" wherein Mephistopheles, standing up on a wine cask, takes his flight into *pace with Doctor Faust, to the stupe faction of the guests drinking at the tables. The old buiiliml to which the cellar belonged was built by Doctor Stroner d'Auerbach at about 152,. the worthy doctor there storing the wine intenledl for his own use. Later, as the ftine was good, hie conce' ved the idlea .of selling it. In this way wias es tablished the tavern to which his nme has been attachedl ever slince. Fromi the earliest years of the seven teenth century legend has phliced in this cellar the famous adventure of Faust andl Mephistopheles. Goethe, studlylng at Leipzig unIversity from 1765 to 170S, frequented that cellar ail most nightly and ther-e talked withi his friendls of art, literature and pol.. itics, and thus he heard of that le gend which he t urned to such excellent account, at the SameII time so very greatly enriching the literature of his country.

UiiriiCHES FROM COLumuia Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of South Carolina Peo pie, Gathered Around the State Capital. Governor Manning sent a letter to Col. P. K. McCully, commanding the One Hundred and Jighteenth Infan try, formerly the First South Carolina regiment at Camp 4ackson, to express the sentiment he wished to convey to the South Carolina boys. A great pa rade had been scheduled, but force of circumstances compelled the cancella tion of these plans. The letter was something of the spirit of "the best of duck" and God spt to the battle fronts in France. T letter follows: My Dear Colonel ; I am in receipt of your telegram and letter and the message from Colo nel Springs, advising me of the neces city for calling off the parade and review of our South Carolina troops. It goes without saying that this is a distinct disappointment and regret to me and my staff, as well as the fami lies and friends of our regiments. Of course, they and I understand it, how ever, and are satisfied that the course was justified by the circumstances. Please say to the officers and men of the South Carolina regiments that I had looked forward with eager pleas ire to seeing them. When these reg iments returned from the Mexican bor der, it was with pride and gratifica tion that I reviewed them, and wit nessed their military bearing, and the wonderful results of their military training and experience. I am confi dent that their military training is now even more marked than ever be fore. Please say to them, that while I am no longer their commander-in chief, my interest and pride in them are unabated. I know they have had their disappointment in not always se curing the promotion, etc., which they felt they were due, but they have borne these disappointments as sol diers should, and I commend them for their respect for authority and for ac cepting bravely whatever came to them. We, your friends and families, all visit you God speed. We will follow you in thought and deed, and our pray era will be with you now and always. On a foreign soil you will go as rep resentatives of America. It will be an inspiration to our allies that Ameri cans, brought up and surrounded by atmosphere of liberty and freedom, stand for the ideals of honor and truth, and that the sanctity of our women is held inviolable. Our allies wvill judge you by your acts. They will witness your courage and daring in battle; let them also see your' vir'tue in your p~ri vate life and in your character. You have the spirit which animated our forefathers of 1776, and that spirit witich carried us through Birandywine, Valley Forge and Yorktowvn will carry us through this war. Our patriotism is burning with a new light, for we are fighting, not only for liberty, but for America, for our homes, for the safety of our omen and childlren., and for justice and righteousness in the world. In this war there will be two armies, opi our side, one on the firing line and :me supplying the food, arms and am munition, equipment andl clothing for vout who are on the battlefieldl. We will rely on you who will (10 the fight ing; you may rely on us who can not be with you on the flring line to stand fast and supplort you. We will send~ you all Ithe material things you will need; we will send you reserves, and ablove all, our pray'ers.

D~o net hlnk of us as repining. We glory in your pluck, your dlarg and (lash, and we will live to .think of the glorious 'lay when you will bring our enemies to their knees and lick the kaiser and his Potsdam gang. After that Is done, with glory and honor, marching under our flag, the emblem of our unity, our power and our aims and idleals, you vill come back home. Then your coun trymen will stand on the shore with open arms, and with eager, enthusi -istic acclaims, take you to our hearts and bosoms, as the heroes of the 2;reatest cause that has ever been re corded in history.
