A FACTORY RHYME
Now while I have leisure time,
I will try to write a factory
rhyme.
I live near Griffin on a hill
And work in a mill
By name, the Kir.caid Cotton Mill.
It is not tlie intent of my heart
To write something that would
start
Animosity between by employer
and me,
But what I write, let factory peo
ple see.
While in a tactory we remain,
We are looked upon as a set of
insane.
The upper ten, who swell and frei,
Call us the poor ignorant factory
set.
Education, we have none,
Father, mother, daughter or son.
And that is why the people fret
And call us the ignorant factory
set.
We are not bred in college walls;
Never played in theatres,
Or danced at balls,
Or ate ice cream and lemonade
Or smoked cigarettes Havana
made.
Or went on picnics every day,
Or went on excursions without
pay;
Nor wore fine clothes or derby
hats;
Nor rode bicycles or played with
balls and bats.
But now, I’ll tell you what we do.
And factory people know its true.
We rise up early with the lark
And work from dawn till after
dark.
We have hard times, we all know.
To church, we seldom get to go.
W'hen Sunday comes, we are all
tired down
From working 'hard all the week
round.
The merchants love to see us
work,
But our company on Sunday they
will shirk.
But when pay day comes our
money they get ,
Then they call us the paying
*J tofy set.
We pay high prices for all
Molasses, coffee, bread
meat—
%
But should we fail our money
get,
Then we are called the lying fac
tory set.
But many of us have a heart
That is noble, brave and kind,
With a sunny disposition
And a gentle, loving mind.
We divide with those in need
If we only have a dime.
We know the Lord will give
back
To us some other time.
Our treasures are in heaven;
Not here in gold or rank.
We would rather trust it to
Lord
Than put it in the bapk.
And thus it is while at our
We card, spin and Wave,
We are happy and contented
And have but little time
grieve. .
While the rattle of the shuttle
And the shiver of the loom
Puts sorrow, care and pain to
flight
And dispels the clouds of gloom.
We all forget out troubles
And our trials here below,
While listening to our shuttles,
As they rattle to and fro.
Yes, we .watch the busy shuttle
As back and forth it speeds,
And, with pleasure, watch the
cut marks
Going through the reeds.
If I was a millionaire,
Or financially so stout—
I could almost buy Experiment
And the country round about.
I could not there be satisfied
Unless I could go
And set my looms to running
When I heard the whistle blow.
Did you say you don’t like
tory people?
Well, that’s sinful, I declare.
If you by chance get to heaven,
There will be factory
there.
And when you get up yonder^
Pray, don’t turn up your nose,
For we will not have oil on
hands
Or cotton on our clothes.

SINNERS IN HEAVEN
GLORIFIES SOUTH-SEA
ISLAND DANCING
When “Sinners in Heaven,”
new Paramount picture with
Daniels and Richard Dix, is
ed on the local screen at the
mo theatre tomorrow, motion
ture patrons will have an
tunity of comparing
methods in the terpsichorean
with those that are most
in the Bahama Islands.
Those who have been
to get an advance look at the pic
ture predict that it will do as
much to glorify the native
of the Bahamas as Florenz Zieg
feld has done for the American
girl in his Follies.
All of which is due to Alan
Crosland, the director of the
photoplay. He picked out twenty
four native beauties in Nassau,
where the company made its head
quarters while filming the ex
terior scenes for the picture on
eight of the islands, and instruct
ed them in a native dance.
PROBLEM DRAMA
IN “SINGLE WIVES"
Those who appreciate drama of
the more subtle variety will like
«< Single Wives,” the First National
picture which opened last night at
the Alamo theatre and continues
through today. '
“Single Wives” deals with a
woman who seeks attention away
from her own»fireside because of
the indifference of her husband.
