Washington, Oct. 26.-President
Roosevelt today issued his Thanks
giving proclamation, through the
secretary of state. naming the last

The proclamation follows:
"Once again the season of the year
has come. when in accordance with
the custom of our forefathers for
generations past, the president ap-
points a day as the especial occasion
for all our people TO give praise and
thanksgiving to God.
During the past year We have
been free from famine. from pesti-
lence, from war. We are at peace
with all the rest of mankind. Our
natural resources are at least as great
as those of any other nation. We be-
lieve that in ability to develop and
take advantage of these resources the
average man of this nation stands at
least as high as the average man or
an yother. Nowhere else in the world
is there such an opportunity for free
people to develop to the fullest *
tent, all its powers of body. Of mind
and of that which stands above botn
body and mind character.
Much las been given us from ~.
high and much will rightly be expect
ed of us in return Into our care the
ten talents have been entrusted. and
we are to be pardoned. neither l.
We squander and waste them: nor Yet
ii we hide them in a napkin: for they
must be fruitful in our hands. Ever
throughout the ages, at all times and
among all peoples. prosperity has
been fraught with danger, and it be-
hooves us to beseech the Giver of all
things that we may not fall into love
of ease and of luxury; that We may
not lose our sense of moral response
bility; that We may not forget our
duty to God and to our neighbor.
"A great democracy like ours.

citizen there dwells a keen sense of
righteousness and justice. We should
earnestly pray that this spirit OF
righteousness and justice may grow
ever greater in the hearts of all of
us and that our souls may be inclined
ever more both toward the virtues
that tell for gentleness and tender
ness. for loving kindness and for
bearance one with another, and to-
ward those no less necessary virtues
that make for manliness and rugged
hardihood, for without these quail

rise to the level of greatness.

SOLDIERS
ARE NOT ENLISTED
At Present and orders Having Been
Issued to That Effect and Va
cancies Being Filled.

Sergeant w. w. Sibert, in charge
of the local recruiting station in the
Irwin building, informs the Telegram
that an order has Just been received
by him, stopping enIistments Of
coolred men for the United States
army. The enlistments of colored
men have only been authorized late
ly, and then only to fill vacancies in
regiments designated for Philippine
service, such vacancies are now filed
as colored men focked in great num-
ber to recruiting stations in SOUTH
ern sections.
Since this authority was granted
the middle of January this station
has enlisted some twenty-five color
ed men.
The enlistment Of white men for
Philippine service is still authorized,
but this opportunity cannot last
long as all regiments must be ready
TO sail by the last of July this year.
The Office has enlisted seven white
men this month, and OF these five
were men who had served one or
more enlistments. This only proves
the attraction claimed for army
life

of the State.

CHARLESTON. March 30 - The
brief visit of Elliott Northcott here
yesterday has in great measure
cleared up the political horizon and
the gubernatorial boom advanced by
his friends received a severe set back.
Mr.. Northcott was seen by your cor
respondent last evening after he had
spent the day in conference with the
administration leaders and he stated
that he under no circumstances
would be candidate for governor
in 1908. This practically leaves the
southern part of the state for c. w.
Swlsher, should he decide to become
a candidate. There is much swisher
talk in this part of the state and all
that is lacked to establish his boom
is the consent of Mr.. swisher him

said he had been requested to do so

AS to the power of appointing
special policemen as the city laws
provide, the speaker said that ii was
easier said than done, and he tried to
explain that he could not do his

Thousand Dollars in Fines

To the Amount of Thousands of Dol
lars-City Records Deny Har-
mer's Figures in Speech.

Mayor Harmer in discussing the
matter of fines collected in his ad-
ministration and those during
Crile's administration, told his
auditors that there had been collect
ed during his administrator fines to
the amount of $4,000 and that Jail
fees paid amounted to s1,374.45.
II will be seen that his deficit in
this respect still grows larger. For
mer figures given by the Telegram
we're up to March 1. The present
figures are up to March Is, and show
Il situation that stares Mayor Har-
mer in the face and contradicts alb
solutely and emphatically the state
ments made by him last night about
fines and jail fees.
Mr.. Harmer also tried TO mislead
his auditors as to Mayor Crlle's
fines. He stated that all he had
found any record of was $1,55S. The
following statement is taken from
the city records and any one can
verify 1t by going to the books:
