PRESIDENT Fixes Thursday Nov
2S, as a Day of Thanksgiving,
President Roosevelt has issued
proclamation which designates Thurs
uay, November 2S, as day of nationa
thanksgiving, as follows:
A PROCLAMATION.
The season is nigh when, acco, dine
TO The time. hallowed custom of ou1
people, the President appoints da,
as the especial occasion for praise and
Thanksgiving to God.
This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
OF great and good President We
mourn President Mckinley because
we 80 loved and honored him. and the
manner OF his death should awaken IN
the breast of our people keen anxiety
Tor the country, and at the same time
a resolute purpose not to be driven by
any calamity from the path of strong, !,
orderly, popular liberty, which as a a
nation we have thus far safely trod.
Yet, in spite of this great disaster.
1t Is nevertheless true that no people
on earth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have. The past
year in particular has been one of
peace and plenty. We have prospered
In things material and have been able
TO work our own uplifting in things
intellectual and spiritual. Let us re-
member that, as much has been given
us, much will be expected of us, and
that true homage comes from the heart
as well as from the lips and shows
itself in deeds. We can best prove
our Thanksgiving to the Almighty by
the way in which ON this earth and at
this time each of us does his duty to
his fellow men.
Now, therefore, L, Theodore Roose.
welt, President of the United States,
do hereby designate as day of gen
cral Thanksgiving Thursday, the 2Sth
of this present November, and do re-
commend that throughout the land the
people cease from their wonted occupa-
tions and at their several homes and
places of worship reverently thank the
Giver of all good for the countless
blessings of our national life.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
I'd day of November, in the year of

WHAT IS THE MATTERP--The
Florence Times makes the following
pertinent comment upon the condition
OF affairs in the local cotton markets Of
this State:
I If the local cotton mills cared to ex-
tend helping hand to the farmers of
the country, if they would show their
gratitude to those who gave them +,
they could very easily start the cotton
market upward. If they showed some
disposition to "stock up" the bear
influences, which they are, apparently,
booking would be routed in no time.
1t has been some time since the South
ern cotton mills lined themselves with
the people who produce the cotton.
They did it once and they made money
by 1t, but they offended their New
England and old England friends and
they have not done 1T since. We hear
a lot about how capital helps producers
but we hardly ever get sight of thai
help except when there is play made
to the gallery. The farmers will ge
their relief when they can do will
their cotton as they do with their corn
raise as much of it as they need ant
take it to the mill, bringing back th,
cloth. When the South first began t,
build cotton mills we oil congratulated
ourselves for 1t looked as if the pro
ducer was going to be the manufactur

"Scarlet fever is very dangerous and

books, papers, and III every conceiv-
able way. 1t never dies, we suppose,
for many cases can be traced back for
number of years. The poison will

policemen would have come up and
slapped the three registers on the back
and said gruflly, /" Here, no smoking

who was on duty before the ticket win.
dow station was diplomatic and worthy
of wider sphere than he will ever
have, even as a depot policeman.
There was really four in the party,
but there were three of them who were
seeing the other man off. All of them
are exhibit attaches at the Pan-Amerl-
can exposition, and the fourth man
was leaving for his home in a far
western State. With his three COM
panions they had started for the train
several hours before train time and had
spent most of the intervening time in
drinking his health. Naturally, they
were in mood to be little careless
of the depot regulations.
About half an hour before train time
one of them discovered there was O
later traih which their friend could
take and arrive at his destination Just
as coon, while the new arrangement
would lengthen the time they would
have to express their regard for him al
sundry bars. They repaired to the
depot to have his ticket changed.
While he was going through this for
mality at the ticket office they stood {
little way back in the waiting room,
putting vigorously on strong cigars. A
policeman approached, but he wasn'
gruff at all. With pleasant smile
and strong Hibernian brogue he re
marked:
