Intense excitement prevailed in
Chicago in the wheat pit az the
opening Tuesday, with apparently
every trader an avowed buyer. The
demand was so urgent and offerings
so limited that prices for all deliv-
cries we're bid up fully Dc at the
start, initial quotations on December
showing gain OF ! 5-sc to 2 l-2c,

moil was 4 cold wave which spread
over the Canadian northves, Non
day night, practically running much
of the wheat still standing. In Mani
toba the loss is estimated at 25 per
cent of the crop. The desire to
buy was increased by the strong
tone of all foreign grain markets,
sharp advances abroad furnishing
indications of universal alarm re-
garding the American wheat crop.
The buying was on such heavy
scale that il vas almost impossible
to follow the market. As the
session advanced causes of fresh
grief for the bears appeared. Phi

for the people of the Massachusetts
Bay colony. The ship dispatched to
Ireland had not returned, and it was
believed to have been lost. Ground
nuts and acorns were the daily bread
of the poor. A meal of fish was feast.
Women followed the tide to pick up
few CLAIMS and mussels to keep their
children from starving. One Of the de-
voted women has left letter saying:
''Our last peck of meal is in the oven
at home a-baking, and many of our
godly neighbOrs have spent quite all.
We owe one loaf of that little we
have"
Another declared, my husband hath
Travelled as far as Plymouth, near for
ty miles, and hath with great toll
brought back a little corn with him,
and before that is spent the Lord will
surely provide"
A day of prayer and fasting was pro-
claimed. Governor Bradford was dis

These aboriginal dudes, however, were

pleasantly to the store brought in by

gathering at that first Thanksgiving
dinner must have been a remarkable
sight If the Indians of the loyal ard
trustworthy MaSsasoit were vivid In
their own gala attire, the quaintness
of the garb of the English colonists
surely furnished a most effective and
even dramatic contrast. 1t is safe to
say that Governor Bradford himself
was stately figure, because dignity
and a quiet elaborateness of sober but
rich costume seemed to have been al

Governor Bradford may be said to
have discovered the turkey. After he

men were sent out into the tracklesS

to grace the tables on Thanksgiving

the entire colony, those four men, and
they came back to their fellow COLO

in the home of the presidents. 1t Is a
Testimonial keenly relished by Mr..
Wose that. while turkeys are sent to
the president from all over the coun-
try, the Rhode Island bird is the one
most often selected by the chief magis-
trate as fit sacrifice to the spirit Of
the day.
Despite the prominence the president
receives in connection with the turkey
and Thanksgiving day, the day Of
thanks is far older institution than

as first president of the United States
on April 80. 1879, but 168 years before
that historic day the day Of thanks
had its birth.

true of the particular breed of the

Col. j. A. HoYt.

Col. James A. Hoyt who recently
died in G~reenville gave his whole life
to good works. He was one of those
mon whose heart aud hands were never
Idle and the work that he found to do
was always for the uplifting of his fell
low men. In movements for the adj
vancement of his church, for the inn
provement Of the communities in
which he lived and for the develope-
ment of industry and ommerc he
was a foremost worker, with his
shoulder to the wheel and driving for
ward more than his fair share OF
the load. AS o mere child here in
LaureDs he began life AS an honest
and faithful worker and faithfully to
the end, hopeful and believing in the
triumph of the right and good, he
.persevered until the hour came to lay
down the burden and 20 up higher, to
his reward. He is mourned in Laurens
by gallant Old comrades who recall his
courage and his GOODNESS and efficiency
as q soldier of the Confederate cause
He will be mourned everywhere in the
state and at all times whena wise coun-
sellor is needed.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1904-06-08
For the LEGISLATURE,

IHE ADVERTISER Is especially glad
TO sea that the opportunity is offered
the voters OF Laurens to select a first
rate delegation to the general assem-
bly,. Laurens should have men In the
senate and house who will "couut"-
who will have the ear of others when
they speak or the floor or in the COM
mtttee room and whose judgment will
be regarded. We are not saying that
a legislator must be an orator. On the
contrary 1t frequently happens that the
most successful Lawmakers are men
who are Indifferent takers and some
OF the most influential members rarely
deliver speeches. If a man Ia to be
sent to the general assembly as a re-
preventative of the farming people, the
ought to do themselves the
justice to be sure that he knows some
thing about farming. 1t has sometimes
happened that the farmers have
elected as farmer candid ,tes men
whose whole lives had been d~isgraceful
failures and who were expert only as
complatners at results due to general
a~ncompetency and 'triniugness."
When a newspaper man was elected
governor OF this state u few O ago
we are glad that one who had worked
hard at the trade and made q success of
a country newspaper was chosen and
we are glad that he was a Newspaper
man who could buy a ton OF white pa
per In Richmond without having to Or
der 1t sent &c. o. D." 1t Is O good
thing for the state of South Carolina
That the present rice-farming governor
rs a real farmer, one who knows his
business and attends to 1T. With men
who are competent In looking after
their own affairs, there is always q
chance that public Affairs will be in
telligently handled. There are strong
men running for the legislature In
Laurens. The gentleman who is run
ming for the state senate has already
had q successful career In legislation.
There are important statutes on the
books now that have the stamp OF his
able handiwork and Laurens may be
sure that in him the county will be
creditsbly represented.
