LIE: Us be Thankful.


nation next Thursday is a day set
for public Thanksgiving. 1t Is
the one day in the 365 that is Pc
culiarly dedicated to a public ex-
preston Of gratsfulness to God
for His goodness and bounty. 1t
y ut that all good :people should
join in tho observance and parti-
cipate in the spirit Of the day.
As whole, the people of
South Carolina have reason for
more than Usual Thanksgiving.
The state has made progress ma
terislly, educationally and spiritu-
ally. 1t has been blessed with
prosperity; the fields have yielded
abundantly Of their harvest: the
SEASONS have been prepitious; the
crops have given satisfactory re-
turns and tho farmers from which
class flows the prosperity of al !
the other classes have enjoyed
an unusually successful year.
The one great crop of tho State
King Cotton has been safely
gathered and the profits have
been reasonable, indicating salts
factory condition of stability
without any symptom OF specula-
tive or "boom" values. With
the prosperity of the farmer has
come the prosperity, in varying
degrees, Of the other branches of
business the tradesman, tho ar
tlsan, the professional man. For
this material prosperity we should
DO grsteful;we should offer thanks
giving to Him who sends the
rains or the sunshine, who causes
the seed to burst from it's she'll, to
grow into its maturity and at last
to yield its harvest to man. 1t
is Gods work.
EducationalIy, spiritually, and
in all the things pertaining there
to, South Carolina has also, We
trust and believe, made progress.
Now schools have been erected, old
ones have been improved. More
children are in attendance upon
these schools. In the realm of
higher education satisfactory
progress has been made; the col.
leges of the state have. without
exception, reported greatly in
creased attendance. The citizens
are more than ever aronsed to the
need Of =n educated generation of
young mon and young women.
The seeds of educational pro.
grsss are sown and the results
may bs awaited with confidence
and hoPe. Surely for such
. condition, for tho awakening of
such spirit, for the stimulation
of . sentiment which means 20
much for the future of the state
SouthCarolinans everywhere, from
the mountains to the seashore,
from the east to the west, should
ponr out Thanksgiving.
With the educational advance
has como its fellow-spiritual ad-
vance. Public evils are less flag
rant. Outbreaks. against law
and morality have been dscried
with more effect. Public opinion
has been more uncompromising
In its condemnation of crime and
disorder. The public pulse has
beat truer; the forces of civilized
government have been moro as
sertive. Tho public mind ls be-
coming saner, healthier, more
wholesome and more respecting
Of the laws of man and God. We
have much to thank God in this
progression, but the goal is yet
sfsr. There is still great work
TO be done.

may Test the Lay TOR Voting Machines.
The Newark Sunday cau says there is a
rumor in that city that the question will be
raised in the courts whether the Use of the
voting machines is constitutional Many
lawyers have grave doubts, and some of
them have openly declared their belief
that the constitution requires that voting
should be by ballot. 1t is claimed, also,
that the purchase of the machines for use
at the last election was illegal. as the
money was not available until November
Isl. The machines it is asserted, were in
use before that time, and this, it is said, is
against the law regulating the purchase Of
public supplies. The difficulty of voting
split tickets and the placing Of the ma
chimes in districts where split tickets were
feared, it ascribed as among the evidence
that the machines have been purchased and
used for partisan purposes

SMOOT INVESTIGATION BEGINS
PRESIDENT SMITH ON STAND
Head of the Mormon Church First Witness for
the Opposition That Hopes to
UnSeat the Senator

II includes Smoot's name. Smith said
the head of the central church consist
ed of three presiding high priests con-
stituting the first presidency. The
president had two counsellors, apostles.
The latter were first chosen by revela-
ton but since then the vacancies had
been filed by choice of the apostolic
body subject to the approval OF the
first presidency.
In response to a question by Hoar,
Smith said the choice of Brigham
Young as second president of the
church was the result of a direct rev.
elation. This to him was a matter of
certainty. Il believe it with all my
heart" said he.
Smith said that every member of the
church was entitled to revelations from
God for his own guidance but no rev.
elation through the head of the church
becomes binding or authoritative on
the members of the church until ac-
cepted by the majority. He knew of
Instances in which large number of
members of the church rejected the
revelations, but none were rejected by
majority. But only those who accept
are in good standing. In response to
Hoar the witness said it was his be-
lief that the revelations to the church
had always been direct from God ano
anyone that rejected them rejected thu
direct commandment of God.
There is a revelation in the book of
the Mormon on plural marriages. Not
more than three or four per cent of the
members of the Mormon church ever
enter plural marriage. Many thousands
never accepted the revelation and never
believed in the doctrine, nevertheless
they are members of the church In good
fellowship.
