WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The following
proclamation was issued by the Presi-
dent to-day:
At no recurrence of the season which
the devout habit of a religious people has
made the occasion for giving thanks to
Almighty God, and humbly invoking His
continued favor, has the material pros
perity enjoyed by our whole country
been more conspicuous, more manifold
or more universal. During the past year,
also, unbrOken peace with all foreign ma
tiOns, the general prevalence of domestic
tranquility, the supremacy and security
of the great institutions of civil and re-
ligiOus freedom, have gladdened the
hearts of our people and confirmed their
attachment to their government, which
the wisdom and courage of our ancestors
so fltly framed, and the wisdom and cOur-
age of their descendants have so firmly
maintained, to be the habitatiOn of liberty
and justice to successive generations.
Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B.
| Hayes, President of the United States, do
| appoint Thursday, the 9th day of No
! vember, instant, as day of national
| thanksgiving and prayer, and | earnestly
| recommend that, Withdrawing themselves
| from secular cares and labors, the people
| of the United States do meet together on
that day in their respective places of
| worship, there to give thanks and praise
to Almighty God for His mercies, and to
devoutly beseech their continuance.
In witness whereof have hereunto sci
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
- third day of November, in the
{, year of our Lord one Thousand
L" eight hundred and seventy=nine
- and of the independence of tht
United States the one hundred and fourth
RUTHERFORD B. HAYES.

A Center shot.

It looks like an easy task to burst up
pOlygamy in Utah, but it is a work of
great magnitude. 1t was a work of inn
mense magnitude to destroy slavery,
because the Shareholders, when the con-
test for soil commenced, became Demo-
Gratis almost to a man, and they swept
into their ranks nearly all the uneducated
people of the South, by arOusing their
Deriudice against the negroes. Slavery
became the corner stone of the great DEM
Ocratic party, and because it was made
the corner stone of one of the great politi-
cal parties of the United States its de-
struction caused one of the most disas-
trous, and one of the most bloody wars on
| record. The same thing on a smaller
scale, is taking place in Utah. Every
| polygamist in the United States is a Dem
ocrat. The delegate in Congress from
| Utah is polygamist; is a Democrat pure
| and unadulterated and very popular
with the Confederate Brigadiers.
Hence the Democrats have no desire to
| offend the Saints in Utah, orsin any way,
weaken an institution which carries a
man into the bosom of the Democratic
| party. In consequence it has been found
most difficult to Iush out pOlygamv in
Utah. The Administration has delivered
| the institution a blow i'll foreign cOun-
| tries. Few converts can be secured for
| the Mormon religion in the United States.
| The people are too intelligent. The ma
| terial out of which MOrmOnS are made,
exists in European countries, and there is
| where the Mormon preachers have found
| willing ears for their disgusting doctrine
From the poor and ignorant, and op
pressed people of European countries
their converts have generally been drawn
| The MOrmons in Utah to-day, have
much more the appearance of the poor
oppressed peasants of Europe, than tn
sharp, shrewd, enterprising people o
the United States. A man travelling
among the Mormons of Utah, feels a
though he was in a foreign countr,
among foreign people. The Administra
! tion has undertaken~tO prevent Mormon
: from immigrating to the United State
from Europe, and has called upon fol
eign countries to aid in the work. Tht
: authorities of Liverpool seem disposed t
aid the United States by stopping MOI
mons from immigrating into the Unite
g States. MOrmonism can't live any lengt
, of time without new recruits. The fire
air and free institutions of America, will
in few generations, Danish Mormonisn
providing no new recruits are brougl
from Europe. The Administration h
, taken one step in the right direction

Home Enterprise.

We are glad to see our enterprisng townsman,
Mr.. Jacob Rice, putting up large building on
the lot in rear of Judge Walace's, in which he
will run a cotton Gin, II GriSi Mill and machih g.
cry for all kinds of Wood work, and as soon as
possible he will put in Turning Lathe. This
will be q great convenience to the town and
county, and we hope Mrkltice will be rewarded
with great success for his enterprise.
In connection with this, Mr. Ricc's Steam
Engine will provide ample power, we suggest
that n company be formed to put up Factory
FOR spinning yarn from seed cotton, such rs is
now in successful operation in Oconcc County
and spoken of in the article we publish from the
Southern Christian idr0cdte. headed CLONE En-
terpriscs. few thousand dollars invested in
such an enterprise would not only prove profit
able to the stockholders, but would attract a
vast amount ef business to the town, Increase
its inhabitants, enhance the value of property
and make things generally prosperous 1t
seems to us that money invested in such mn en-
terprisc would give greater assurance Of profits
than is likely to come from the same amount in
vested in Gold Mine, and would certainly diff
fuse more general benefits. Who will be the
first to make the move in that direction?

Tho 0at Crop.

We ask every Farmer in Union County to read
the article on our first page headed The Value
of the Dat Crop" If its suggestions are acted
upon we arc satisfied ii will save thousands of
dollars to Union County in preventing the ne
ccssity for buying corn, and that just al n time
when money is most scarce among Farmers
When the Farmers Of Union can make their
crops without paying out cash. or paying from
- to 30 per cent. higher than the cash price
by going in debt Tor fertilizers aud feed for
their work and other stock. then, aud not tell
then, will they be in Il condition TO control the
time Of selling and the price of their cvttur-
For many years the Farmers have been COM
p!ctcly in the hands of the merchants and spec
ulators, who Compelled Them to sell their cotton
just when and Mt any price they chose to pay,
and the result. every year, has been, after all
the cotton that the merchants could control had
been forced out of the Farmers hands up wen,
the price of the staple and the merchants and
SPECTATORS pockctcd every dollar of profit that
was made out of the crop, leaving the Farmers i'll
the came dependent condition as they were at
the commencement of tho year.
Farmers may abuse the merchants n much as
they please fnr this condition Of their affairs,
but the merchants arc not altogether to blame
The farmers refused, year after year, to do that
which they knew would cXtrica c them from he
difficulty. They would not cconomzc in their
expenditures, either in the household or upon
the farm they preferred to pay from - to 100
per cent. more for provisions than it would cost
10 raise then. Is it any wonder that the Farm
| crs are in debt? How long would II merchant
last who paid 30 per cent. more for his goods
than he could sell them for? Wouldn't You
call him fool? And who would you blame,
the man who sold him the goods or the crazy
fellow that bought them BUT the Farmers
have acted just in that way, and now try TO lay
all the E'amc for their financial troubles upon
the merchants. 1t won't do, gentlemen. Your
! grumbling at the merchants won't Ec!p you a
! dollar. If You don't want them to gougc you,
| don't give them chance. That's the way the
merchants do yom. You must help yourselves,

Georgetown Railroad.

The Georgetown Eimcs and Comet is earnest in
its advocacy of the Georgetown and North Car
oina Railroad, charter for which has been OBJ
,ained from the Legislature. Col. Blanding, the
president OF the company, is also heartily at
work in behalf of the enterprise. The Times
ana Comet in late issue suggests that the route
bs by way IF Kingstree, Sumter and Winnsboro.
to yUnio1sa distance of lo2 miles. A more
practicable and cheaper route would be TO build
from Sumter to Camden, thence to Lancaster,
where connection will be made with the Chcraw
Chester Railroad. BY this route there would
be saving Of not less than thirty.ivc miles, rs
compared with the proposed line to Union. Be-
sides, the country between Camden and Lancas
ter is II natural road d. Chester RCpOrter.
We don't know any points in this State that
would be likely to contribute more, if as much
to the success of n narrow Gauge Railroad than
klngstrcc, Sumter, Winnsboro and Union. At
each of those places there is large amount of
business done, but they arc laboring under the
incubus of Railroad monopoics, and as a Sc
qucncc, high railroad charges for freight and
passenger fare. competing railroad at those
points would increase the business, by giving
them cheap rates and thereby drawing much
business from those points where competing
railroad lines have given such great advantages
to the merchants and Farmers. The road, as
suggcsted-ay tho Tia'eSn,.A Comet, would attract
much busiicSs from the Wilmington and Man
chester, South Carolina. Charlotte and Colum
bia, Grccnvic and Columbia and Sparanburg,
Union and Columbia Railroads. all of which now
possess a monopoly Of the business from and to
the points named, and make us pay high ray
freight to make up for the low charges which com
peing lines have compelled them 10 come down to.
BESIDES, EaiIroad to Georgetown would be
Railroad to the sea. coast, and even create com.
petition in wharfage, drayngc and other charges
much conf mplaiuUi of heretofore. While we con
icss that distance is Of great Importance in build
ing long trunk lines of Railroads, We are of opin-
ion that, i'll building tributary lines, it is essential
for their success that each should traverse that
line which will accommodate the largest num-
Der of people and secure the greatest amount
of business, irrespective of the difference of
few miles i'll length.
