Why TALMA E IS THANKFUL,

In his thanksgiving sermon,
Talmage gave the following reasons,
among others, why he had cause for
gratitude:
"Year after year and undor all
circumstances God is fulfilling the
promise made by the chapter I
read at the opening of the service: {:
-"Seed time and harvest, cold and
heat, summer and winter shall not
cease." Thank God, all ye churches
and storehouses and homes for
plenty Of bread, not only enough
for us but for other nations bread
for us and bread for them. Give us
full round slice, IN honest. old
fashioned slice of country bread
such as your mothers used to make,
and, l suppose, your wives make
better. (Laughter.) What would
you want better than bread? DO
you want cake? Bread is more
easily digested; it makes more
muscle and bone. never knew
any one worth anything to church
or State VINO was brought up on
cake. Thank God for bread.
l make another dash into n
Southern plantation. The dusky
Mborers are gathering rice-the
queen Of all delicacies. The whip
ped eyllabubs Of the English and
the meringue Of the French go into
nothingness before one spoonful of
honest American rice pudding.
Thank God for rice Our next
dash is into country orchard with
apples, russell and brown and red.
Solomon was very fond of apples,
for he sud, "Uomfort me with
apples" Naughter) Thank God
for apples. Another dash is into
a cotton plantation. Summer snow
that the sun does not melt hanging
all over the field. Have the clouds
of heaven shaken off their fleece
Most important of all the American
exports, in 1872, amounting to
Sl8O,684,595! Thank God for
cotton
We have on this platform to- day
products of all the country. What
wonderful change! That is q
palmetto tree. Twenty years ago
the planting of such tree as that
in church would have created q
riot, but last night that tree was
planted by men who had been
soldiers in the Northern army.
lAppluuse.) North and South were
divorced; to-day remarry them
under the palmetto tree, and this
moss from Southern forests shall be
tho bridal veil. What God hath
joined together let not man put
lNT1M1DAT1oN.-We are not coun-
sci for MIR. Sutherland or for
United States Marshal Browntield,
but we would call to ther attention
a few cases of intimidation from the
western side of Wateree, as they
seem thus far to have neglected
that portion of the county. The
Reverend MARSHALL McGraw, aged
eighty-six, and who was in the war
Of 1912, approached the polls with
two heavy sticks, and with these
sticks absolutely got to the polls
and voted the Democratic ticket.
We oil feel proud of such patriot
ism as this noble old gentleman
showed, and are inclined to give
him great praise for it. Then again
Mr.. John Hollis, nearly the same
age, rode fifteen miles to vote the
same ticket. These estimable old
gentlemen, it can be proved, went
to the polls each armed with sticks.
How many Republican voters they
knocked down and kept away, we
don't know. Doubtless there are a
plenty of ready tools who will make
the proper afiidavits. Won't you
look after these good and true sons
OF Kershaw 7 They are both
patriots, and we can make the re-
quired oath rs far as the sticks 60.
Come now, Judge, hurry up. you
have not dragged any Of the
Western Wateree boys before you,
and we don't like to be behind.
