THANKSGIVING DAY.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, the
annual festival of thanksgiving for
the mercies of the closing year. Prac
ticafly it is a national harvest festival
fixed by the proclamation Of the
President and the Governors of the
States and Territories. and ranks as
q legal holiday. It was in 1879 that
the Episcopal church first recognized
the civil governments authority TO
appoint such a feast. but MOI till 1888
did the Roman Catholic church decide
10 honor a festival which had long
been nearly universally observed.
Nowhere. however. is Thanksgiving
observed with SO much TEST as in the
New England States where it yet
ranks as the great family festival.
taking the place which in many parts
of the world is accorded to Christmas
This is perhaps so because the earli-
s harvest thanksgiving in America
was kept by the Pilgram Fathers.
As early as 1861 it was observed at
Plymouth. and in no succeeding yea
has it been neglected by the people
Of Puritan descent.

to every one that constipation is

Beginning at the head of North
Spring River, where is located
the beautiful town of Roswell,
and following it along nearly east
for 10 or II miles, where it emp
ties into the Pecos River, and then
down the Pecos about 50 miles,
you traverse a valley from 10 to IS
miles broad, under which is a sub
t~erranean water shed. Tapping
this watershed with we'll drills as
you go down the Pecos river on the
west side, the water will rise higher
and higher above the surface until
at Artesia it will pipe 2Io feet
above the surface.
Our marvelous'supply of artesian
water both for irrigatirg and power
for machinery, is as interesting and
as stimulating to investors who
come on the ground as would be a
find of a bale of U. S. bonds at soc
on the dollar. In fact this artesian
belt, of which Artesia is about the
center is proving to be a factor i'll
the security of these same bonds.
In prehistoric times there has
been thrown up a section of coun-
try passing about II miles to the
north of Roswell and continuing
nearly south for about IS miles and
then westward to the foot hills of
the Guadalupe mountains. When
this upheaval occurred it broke
and sealed all the strata below and
it now acts as a huge dam across
an immense river, and it is this
dam that caused the water to come
to the surface at Roswell when it
made North Spring River.
Attempting to raise this water
level a dam was thrown across
North Spring river near where it
comes from under the hills, and
the river refused to climb the dam.
This proves there is a subterranean
flow in the same level as is the
water at the head of North Spring
river, and North Spring river
joined the flow instead of climbing
to the higher level of the dam, and
the dam was removed to get back
the flow of the surface part of this
hidden river.
On the east of this thrown up
country that the Pecos lies against
as it flows south, no artesian water
has been found, nor do l know of
any deep drilling there. but, south
of this thrown up section, where it
turns westward to the foot hills of
the Guadalupe mountains, at
Carlsbad on the Pecos, which is
about II miles below where the
Pecos in the ages past has cut its
way through this thrown up dam
or the surface of this dam, they
have gone two thousand two hun
dred feet and failed to get a flow.
Some IS miles west of Carlsbad
rises out of the ground Black River
and from the southwark and east
ward for a hundred or more miles
through the semi-desert country
are a great number of bold gushil G
streams in the form of springs, and
on the Texas & Pacific is a good
flowing well 500 feet deep and 20
miles west of Pecos City. Along
the Pecos in and around Pecos City
they have numerous light flowing
wells at shallow depths, all of viii, b

No Charge for Advice.

w. K. Vanderbilt gave a COM
mittee of Long Island ministers a
cold douche the other day. The
ministers called upon him at his
country seat, Idle Hour, and ask
ed for a contribution. How many
people are there in the communi-
~ where your churches are locat-
ed?" he asked. about 5000" re-
piled one of the ministers. "And
how many churches have you
there?" "Seven of various de-
nominations" TOO many, Alto
gether," said Mr.. Vanderbilt.
You are overburdened with
churches. I advise you to reduce
the number and cut down on the
salaries OF ministers and learn TO
be self-supporting. Try the
scheme. If you find it works, !
won't charge you for the advice.

NO NEGRO IN THEIRS.

A negro postal clerk was scared
of his run between Skidmore and
Alice last week, claiming the PEG
pie made threats against him, and
would not give him a place to
sleep or anything to eat. If be
had gone where negroes are ex-
pected to go and where they be-
long, to the kitchen, he doubtless
could have found something to eat
and place to sleep. But he was
a negro school teacher, and per
haps was laboring under the idea
that the familiarity of Roosevelt
with the negro, would give him
access to the best the people had
to offer. But he, like all others
who seek to place themselves on an
equality with the southern white
man, met a reception warm enough
to convince him that the colored
brother in the south must keep his
place. Of course, Roosevelt can
treat the people of Alice and Skid
more to a dose of the medicine he
gave to the people of Indianola,
Miss, and they will be powerless
to prevent it, but with a tenacity
of purpose, held up by an Unborn
knowledge that the negro is an in
ferior in every sense of the word,
they will do as the people of Missis-
sippi did-have their mail brought
from a distant office by a carrier
paid by private parties. Roosevelt
may force the negro on the people
to the extent of appointing him to
position, but no power under
heaven, can force the southern peo-
pie to accept him as an equal in
any capacity. While THE HERALD
does not believe IN using violence
in cases of this kind, it neverthe-
less admires the spirit that prompt
ed the people of Skidmore and
Alice to protest against this spe-
cies of insult to a white people,
when a large number of white men
could be found who are fully
qualified to take the place given
to the coon by those in authority.
That any attempted violence was
offered the negro THE HERALD
does not believe, and if threats
were made there was no serious in
tention on the part of the people
to carry them into execution, but
rather to induce the unwelcome in
cumbent to vacate, which he very
sensibly did.
