A Proclamation
The season is nigh when, ac-
cording to the time-hallowed Gus
tom Of our people, the president
appoints a day as the especial oc-
casion for praise and thanksgiving
to God. -.
This thanksgiving finds the
people still bowed with sorrow Tor
The death of great and good
nresident. We mourn President
Mckinley, we so loved and hon
ored him; and the manner Of his
death should awaken in the
breasts of our people a keen
anxiety for the country, and at
the same time resolute purpose
not to be driven by any calamity
from the path of strong, orderly
popular liberty which, as nation'
we have thus far safely trod.
Yet in spite of this great dis
aster, it is nevertheless true that
no people on earth have such
abundant cause for thanksgiving
rs 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 for our own upll1t-
ing in things intellectual and
eniritual. Let us remember that,
as much has been given US, much
will be expected from 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 thankfulness 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, !, Iheodo
Roosevelt, president Of the United
States, do hereby designate as a
day of general thanksgiving
Thursday, the 28th Of this present
November, and do recommend
that throughout the land the peo
, pie cease from their wonted occu
pations, and that at their seyera
homes and places Of worship rev
erently thank the Giyer of al
good for the countless blessing
of our national life.
In witness whereof I h
hereunto set my hand and cause
the seal of the United States to b
G affixed.

One of Tallahatchie's progressive
planters has just picked six big
bales of fine cotton, from five acres,
planted in ozier-Stern's long staple
seed. This is fine achievement
when we consider the bad year and
the fact that ordinary cotton in ad
Joining fields only yielded three
| fourths Of bale to an acre, The
staple is very strong and remarkabl,
long. and Mr.. Wiltshire has reason
for his pride in this new variety o
cotton.

Ambassador choate,s speech.

New York, Nov. 17-Ambassador
Choate was the guest of the Lotus CLUB
recently at dinner and reception
given in his honor. The keynote of
the speeches was the friendliness ex-
listing between England and America
and the desirability of its continu-
ance. Mr.. Choate expressed it by say
ing that whatever differences that may
arise between the two countries will
be tremendously, honorably and am
icably adjusted. He said:
after all that l have seen In other
countries it seems to me absolutely
clear that the cardinal principle upon
which American institutions rest, the
absolute political equality of all citi-
zens, with universal suffrage, is the
secret of American success. Intro
duced by the comprehensive system
OF education which enaDIes every citi-
zen to pursue his calling, it puts the
United States upon that plane of sue
cess which it has reached. 1t passes
my comprehension how any man can
go abroad and not return a warmer
lover of the institutions of his native
land"
Andrew Carnegie followed Mr..
Choate, and referred to the way he
came to be quoted as saying New York
was zone of the best governed cities
in the world" a remark that was
brought in in the recent municipal
campaign. A gentleman reproached
him for giving so much money to so
foul city as New York. Mr.. Car
negie rejoined: Look at your Lon
don, buying its water from companies
whose shares were originally 81 and
now are f2100. Look how New York
prepares for the future in the matter
Of parks. 1t takes head to do that
don't care what party is in power,
New York's progress is not to be i'm
reded.'

The principal point of difference between

dlaWal OF Great Britain from the JOINT
guarantee Of the neutrality of the canal,
tnus leaving the United States the sole
guarantor The excision of the old pro-
vision respecting the right to fortify the
canal leaves that right by inference OPP
tlonal with the United States. All COM
herce OF whatever nationality passing
through the canal will fare alike; there
will be no discrimination in rates in favor
OF United States shipping.
Otherwise the neN treaty is in scope

OF that old convention the United States
and Great Britain agreed that neither
should seek any advantages in rights of
transit across the isthmus. By the new
convention Great Britain yields her right

thus at liberty to construct a canal.

ate meets, or, indeed, until the treaty shall
have been ratified, rejected or amended.

Der suspect declined to plead to the

ing money not legal tender. Today, how
ever, he pleaded not guilty, and when
Judge Adams asked the prisoner if he
wished the court to appoint counsel for
him, Fitzpatrick answered that he did not.

Brigands Reduce Price.

Sofia, Nov. 1.-THE brigands who cap
tured Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka have
reduced the amount of ransom they de-
mand to 10000 pounds (Turkish). Coin
eldent with this intelligence is the in
formation that the leaders of the band. if
convinced that this is more than Mr..
Dickinson will give, would accept $4,000
pounds.
Even this sum is greatly beyond the
cash at Mr., Dickinsons disposal. There
fore, unless the captors Of the mission
aries further abate their demands. there
Is no hope Of an immediate settlement.
An agent who is in touch with the brig
ands reports that they recognize they
made mistake in kidnapping Miss Stone.
They would, however consider it worse
than a blunder to release her without an
adequate ransom.
There is no longer any fear regarding
the brigands' intentions toward the cap
tives. They declare themselves to be not
robbers, but patriots performing an OBJ
noXious task in the interests of a holy
cause. The majority of the kidnapers
are peasants and farmers, directed by a
secret committee TO execute its decision.
