The death of the late H. P. Hall
last Tuesday brings the series of
capital letters which have been run
ming on the sixth page of this paper
to close. A pleasing incident in
that connection was the very friend
ly words of appreciation expressed
by Mr.. Hall for Secretary Schmahl
in the closing paragraph of his let
ter of last week, calling attention to
the fact that Mr.. Schmahl had
collected for the state $50, 900 more
in fees in his office during the first
three months of his administration
than has his predecessors in any one
year. Mr.. Schmahl first read the
paragraph while in the city attend
ing the Peabody funeral last week,
and in connecting it with the death
of his old friend Hall the evening
before, was greatly touched by his
friendly words of appreciation.

ting new townsites wherever there
was a possibility of making a ten
derfoot think railroad would be
built and specializing in town lots.
Tho it was many years before the
first rail was laid the townsite man
could always ses a trunk line of road
thru every place he was promoting.
1t was said that one man trying to
sell a COW told his customer a rail
road was going right thru her.
There were men it is true who
carried on strictly legitimate bust
ness, but there was too much specu-
lation for the good of the city and
state.
The above was the superficial view
of new conner but it did not take
long to discover that the forces
which were to make Minnesota
strong among the states were al
ready at work. The men who laid
the foundations were here and we
are all proud to do honor to their
work.

and many who had just come in,

pose as to location or occupation.
They were on the wave and expected
to bring up against a good oppor-
tunity sometime.
Council Bluffs and St. Paul were
the central points of attraction, the
cities and adjacent towns for the
money lender and Spectator, and
the great prairie country for the
farmer.
No better Illustration of the indie
cision among settlers as to exact
locality can be given than in the
case of the father and uncle of our
Tenney brothers, who were moving
by team to Illinois. They had taken
the big trail to the northwest but
had information that ahead where
the road forked one road led to Min
nesota and the other to nOrWest
Iowa. When this point was reached
the brothers had an earnest talk, one
wanting to turn west and the other
to go north. Failing to agree they
compromised by agreeing to leave
the decision to the lead team which
took the right hand road and
brought them to Wabasha county.

The public as represented by the
newspaper press is slow to take the
repeated assurance of President
Roosevelt that he will not again
be candidate. We are inclined to
believe that they will learn at the
proper time that the president means
exactly what he says, for he is not
the kind of man to be forced into
office against his will. We are not
doubling that immense pressure will
be brought to bear upon him to say
yes, but would it be wise for him to
yield? He has had all the honors
the country or the whole civilized
world can render, he has fought a
good fight, and as man of indie
pendent fortune before going into
office, has earned right to vaca-
ton after more than seven strenu-
Gus years. 1t is folly to say that
he is the only man fitted to be presi-
dent of this great republic, or that
he is the only man who can lead his
party to victory. Whatever of fac.

New York by boat to Piermont
twenty miles up the Hudson river,
which at the time was the eastern
terminus of the Erie railroad. There
were no sleeping cars at that time
and travellers stopped over when
they became tired. The train was
simply packed so no rest was pos
sible on the train. Our first stop
was at Buffalo and the second at
Toledo. At Chicago my party left

ABOUT BRyAN'S WEAKNESS,
LACK OF INTEREST IN AN
NOUNCEMENT DINNER.
Is the Enthusiasm Over the Great
"OratOr of the Platte" Now On the

Washington, Nov. 1O.-Were it not
that leading Democrats consider it a
serious matter, the efforts that Will

city are making to initiate and keep in
flated a good sized presidential boom
through the means of dinner to be
given in this city before the end Of the
present month, would be more than
ordinarily funny.
Mr.. Willis j. Abbott, with headquar-
ters in one Of the largest office build
ings here, Is Mr.. Bryan's political
dinner manager and boon maker. Mr..
Abbott, it IS said at headquarters, has
been busy for weeks past sending out

speakers and priyates in the ranks,
who are expected to contribute at the
rate Of SO a plate, now announce that
the prospects are bright for all of the
400 or more places being occupied
when the psychological moment shall
arrive for Mr.. Bryan to make the long
overdue presidential announcement.
This coming at time only four days
before Congress opens it's long winter

from every part Of the country would
indicate that it has not been an easy
matter for Mr.. Bryan's dinner man.

GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION.
Fixes Thursday, November %, as Day
of Thanksgiving According to Pres
ident's Previous Proclamation.

Gov. Ansel issued Thursday his first
Thanksgiving proclamation, fixing
Thursday, November 2S, as a holiday
to be observed by South Carolinians
in gratitude for the many blessings
bestowed upon all during the past
year.
The proclamation is unusually ap-
propriate, the governor thinks, after
the season Of plenty, and therefore his
message to the people Of the State is
something more than matter of
form. TIE says:
"In conformity to beautiful GUS
tom established by our forefathers
and perpetuated by the religious senti-
ment Of our people, I, M. F. Ansel,
governor Of the State Of South Caro-
lima, do hereby designate and ap-
point
Thursday. the 2Sth day Of Novem-
ber, 1907. as a day Of general thanks
giving.
1.-THE State of South Carolina has
been signally blessed during the past
year. We have enjoyed the liberty
and security guaranteed by peace
ful government; We have advanced in
education and morality; our material
resources have developed; our field
have yielded their harvest in great
abundance: We have been spared from
famine and pestilence and no public
calamity has befallen the common
wealth.
LET all the people, therefore, put
aside their usual vocations, upon the
day herein appointed. assemble in
their houses Of worship and in their
homes to return thanks to Almighty
God for His wonderful love and mer.
cy to us as q people and as a State,
and for the manifold blessings He has
bestowed upon us. =
LET US also, on this day Of thanks
giving and praise. remember the poor
and needy, the widow and fatherless,
the sick and distressed and the or
phanages In our State with words of
comfort and cheer and with our gifts.
Out Of our abundance. let US enrich
and make glad tho unfortunate, real
tzing that the greatest Of Christian
virtues is charity.
Sand let us ever invoke the Great
Giver Of everg good and perfect g:ft
for continuance OF his infinite kind
noso, that peace, prosperity and hap
piness may abide in the land for
ever"

YEARS WILL EXHAUST
THE FORESTS.
II Present Rate Of Cutting Down the
Timber Keeps ZIP, So Says the Re-
port Of the Government Forester.
Washington, Nov. TIN 20 years
the timber supply in the United States,
on government reserves and private

holdings, at the present rate OF cut
ting, will be exhausted"
This announcement was made today
BY Clifford Pinchot the government
forester, who has just returned from
a six-months' inspection trip on which
he travelled 10000 miles.
In sounding his warning Mr.. Pin
chot urged that the danger OF the sit
uation should not be underestimated.
He said that the United States uses
more timber per capita than any other
country and that every man, woman
and child would be affected. He de-
cried the policy Of discbunting the
future OF the country by failure to
protect the natural resources and he
advises everyone who has not already
done SO. to read President Roosevelt's
speech at Memphis on this general
subject.
About one-f1fth Of the forset area
OF the country Is in government re.
serves, but Mr.. Pinchot called atten-
ton to the fact that as privately own
ed timber lands are better than the
government reserves. as general
rule. the government does not control
one-fifth OF the timber supply. The
forest service will ask congress for
more money and more men in order
to extend the service and will push
the work OF reforesting the denuded
timber lands.
President Roosevelt expects to call
conference in Washington shortly Of
governors Of States and experts in the
study Of natural resources. The con-
ference will be for the purpose Of de-
veloping sentiment In favor OF the ad-
ministration's policy Of looking into
the future and into the matter OF con-
serving the natural resources, such as
timber, col, oil md gas and the va
rious minerals.
