Historic THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving Day, as an institu-
ton, did not originate with the Amer
leans, but with the Hebrews, and fills
an important place in their literature
and religion. This was established
by Jehovah, who gave the following
directions to Moses, as recorded in
Deut. xvi 10, IA, Is. This accounts
for the oldest national Thanksgiving
on record.
Among the Anglo-Saxons in early
times a Thanksgiving day was often
proclaimed and rigidly observed for
some special reason.
Queen Elizabeth issued aproclama-
ton for the observing of a day of
Thanksgiving, which required special
religious observance. On that day
no service or labor was to be per-
formed and thanks should be offered
for the increase and abundance of
His fruits upon the face ofthe earth. +"
When the news of the defeat of the
Spanish Armeda was received in Eng
land, the whole nation was called
upon TO observe a day of special
Thanksgiving to God. Oliver Crom-
we'll gave direction for Thanksgiving
days during his protectorship.
A similar observance was held so
recently as in 1872, when the Prince
of Wales recovered from an attack of
severe illness.
The first Thanksgiving service that
is known to have been held on the
North American continent was OBJ
served III 1873, on the shores of New
Foundland by priest of the church
of England, by the name of Wolfall,
who was member of the first Eng
fish colony to settle on our shores.
Popham Colony, which settled at
Sagadahoc on the coast of Maine, in
August, 1907 are the first people be-
lieved to have observed a day OF
special Thanksgiving within the pres
ent limits of the United States. They
landed on an island which they called
st. George. These, however, were
mere Thanksgiving services, called
forth by the gratitude of a small
company.
The real origin of the American
Thanksgiving Day as such, especially
set apart for Thanksgiving and re-
joicing, is attributed to Gov. Brad
ford, the first Governor of Massa-
chusetts colony, who in gratitude
for the bountiful harvests of 1921,
gave directions for the observance of
day of Thanksgiving, to be held on
the 31st day of December of that
year. This first Thanksgiving proc
lamation by an American Governor
is worthy of presentation and study
by us who have heritage of these
hardy forefathers. That little colony
consisted of fifty-fve persons, sur
vivors of the hundred souls or more,
who landed from the Mayfower on
Plymouth Rock. They had, all told,
twenty acres of Indian corn and six
of peas and barley. The corn and
barley had yielded fairly well, but the
peas came to naught. Yet the good
Governor could say they had all
things in good plenty. Their trust
in God for future supplies was one of
the most significant features of that

BOOTHS LIQUOR HABIT.

Some "Reminiscences of the Great
Actor by n Savannahian.
Under the above heading you pub
lished on Sunday some "reminiscences of
the elder Booth. The following in the
same line may be of interest to the
readers of the Morning News;
On one occasion Booth took passage
on the steamer Southern. the first ocean
steamer on the Atlantic coast, from
New York to Charleston. On the pas
sage, one of his eccentricities got the
better of him, and he leaped from the
steamers deck into the sea. AS soon as
possible the steamer was stopped, a
boat was lowered and Booth, after con-
siderable difficulty. was gotten back on
board. where he was safely kept until
he was landed.
He was taken to hotel in Charleston
and placed in a room with an attendant
to take care of him. While ii was sup
posed she slumbered and slept" the at
tendant thought he could snatch a few
winks" himself No sooner, however,
had he passed into the land of Nod"
than Booth, who was looking with one
eye open, Quietly arose anu proceeding
to the fireplace, secured an andiron,
with which he pounded the attendant
into Inconsistencies and would no
doubt have killed him had not the noise
aroused the house.
On another occasion Booths manager
had exactsd a promise from him that
he would not take drink of liquor un-
til after the performance that night. In
order to get around the promise, he
gave servant of the house SUFFICIENT
money TO obtain a pint of brandy a
bowl and a loaf of bread. When these
were brought Booth proceeded to break
the bread into the liquor in the bowl
and eat II, thus keeping his word that
he would not take a drink.
On still another occasion. his mana
ger, In order 10 keep him in proper con-
dition to appear, had him confined in a
close room. With no communication
with the outside Booth. however, man
aged TO attract the attention OF a hall
boy. and slipping sufficient money I'M
der the door of the room, instructed
him to procure a pint of brandy. and a
vessel TO hold Il with a long stem clay
pipe. The stem OF the pipe was pushed
through the key-hole OF the door, and
the bowl into the vessel containing the
liquor. The consequence was that when

EganSmith Co., building the govern
raent mooring dolphins in the lower
Savannah river, was in the city yes
terday and expects to resume work
on the driving of piling for the dol
phins either to-day or tomorrow.
Mr.. Egan says that the rains of the
last few weeks have greatly inter-
fered with the work here as it has
been impossible to get piling out Of
the woods, although the company has
several hundred cut, but owing to the
woods being wet and roads swollen
with water, il mas been impossible to
get them hauled to the river. A raft
from the upper river is, however, due
to-day, when work will be resumed.
Mr. Egan says that he has a raft
Of soc or more logs in the Ogeechee
river, but owing to continued high
tides il cannot be brought through the
draw bridge until the water recedes.
This detriment of the work does not
mitigate against the contractors, except
that it forces the work to be sus-
pended when they could be rushing il
through to completion, as the contract
for the building of the dolphins al
lows drawbacks by weather.
Mr.. Egan is largely interested in rice
culture in South Carolina and says
that the rainy weather has so effected
the rice fields that it is impossible to
plant in the lowest places at present.

which are under water and which he
cannot sow on that account.

Richards of the Central Land Office,
who is the special representative of

who was formerly for four years Cow
ernor of Wyoming, to-day made the
following statement respecting the
present and future policy of this ad-

tons:
THE Presidents purpose and desire
is to protect and preserve the remain

devastations and destruction which
has been the fate of those in large
portions of the Appalachian noun
tains and in other forested sections of
the country. In doing this a supply of
timber will be preserved for future
needs and natural sources of wa
ter supply will be so protected
as to prevent flooding of the streams
during the spring time and the melting
of the SHOWS and to insure water for
irrigation and others purposes during
the dry season. 1t is and has been
the Presidents consistent policy to
encourage the actual settlement of the
country by home builders in every
way, to see that actual settlers within
the forest reserves are accorded every
reasonable protection, and that those
living within the immediate vicinity of
these reserves, who are dependent up
on the reserves for grazing areas for
cattle and horses and for necessary
timber for building and fuel, are ac-
corded access to the reserves for these
purposes under such reasonable re-
