BEING THANKFUL

This Thanksgiving Day will differ in
many respects from it's predecessors.
While there are numerous things for
the American people, the people of
the South of Georgia, of Sumter
county and of Americas, to be thank
full for, a feeling of anger also is
abroad
The thanksgiving is for large
crops, freedom from great disas-
ter and for the blessings of peace
and prosperity guaranteed by the
Constitution and obtainable when you
can. The anger-or more properly
speaking, ndignation-which the
American people feel is towards the
system and men in Wall street which
made the recent disturbances pos
sible
1t is not that Roosevelt set in
motion the machinery which re-
suited in the alarming disclosures of
rottenness in financial dealings which
hurts, but that these conditions were
able to grow unchecked. The South
has been particularly hit by the re-
suits which followed in not being
able to move the cotton crop, which
meant that lower prices also had to
be accepted for distress cotton.
But the situation has improved sui
ficiently to Justify the feeling of
thanksgiving so appropriate for to-
day. While meditating on the boun-
ty of God in so generously providing
an unusually rich year, the mind will
naturally turn to consider the causes
which have led up to the multiplying
in a measure Of these bright pros
poets which nature held out.
If from the recent panic are derived
some valuable lessons for the flu
ture-and to thinking men there GER
tainly will be such-then it will not
have been an unmixed evil. Specu-
lators, with their demands for mon
ev at rates higher than legitimate
industry can pay, should be scourg-
ed from the temple They toll not,
neither do they spin, and in the
world of business there is no use for
them.
It's something for which to be
that the eyes of the people
have been opened and that such dis
as the recent one will not
be present to cast its shadow over
another Thanksgiving Day.

He arrived from Europe on the Maui

Female suffragists in England are
taking on the characteristics of hood
lum mobs. A few days ago they broke
up a meeting being addressed by the
Secretary of State. While one Of the
suffragists was haranguing the crowd
after the original speaker had been
put to fight, free fight broke out
between the men and women and the
police had trouble in quelling the riot
Perhaps that's the English way Of Sc
curing attention of the male voter
but not the American.

In the wise providence of God,
our esteemed and beloved President,

On. Feb 18th, 1873, Mr.. Harold
was selected a charter member OF

coming greater each day OF his
life
Mr.. Harold was born in Macon
Ca. Feb. 1889, where he lived dur
inc his boyhood days. Later he re-
moved to Fort Valley and from thence
came to Americas some time before
the War. He departed this life on
the 10th day of Sept. 1907, at noon.
He was a member of the Episcopal
Church and to his church none were
more liberal and loyal.
Although he filled many places OF
trust and honor, he esteemed none
higher or more important than the
educational interests of this COM
munity. Not only will the Board OF
Education miss his genial counter
ance, wholesome wisdom, and faith
full service, but the community at
large will feel the loss of one OF
her best citizens.
Be is therefore, Resolved, that we
will always revere his memory, cher
ish his friendship for his fellow-work'
! ers, and crown with honor and love
his loyalty to duty and the cause o.
Education
Be it further resolved, that we ten
der our deepest sympathy to hi;

tons be spread upon the minutes

Chicago saloonists had hard time
Sunday as a result of the vigilance of
volunteer detectives, and large
number will probably be under in
dictment by the grand jury. Mayor
Busse refused to order the saloons
closed and the prohibitionists had to
take up enforcement OF the law. To be
indicted for violating the Sunday
law will be a new experience for
Chicago saloonists.

GREAT
INVENTOR
IN TOWN
W. {. CambelI. the Automatic Gas
Cutoff Genius Is Here

v. p. Campbell, inventor of the
Campbell automatic safety gas cut
off, is in the city taking in the state
fair, and many people who are inter-
ested In mechanical contrivances,
are enjoying an acquaintance with
him. 1t is undoubtedly fact that
he has one of the most attractive in
ventions of the age. His contrivance
seems to be simple, and yet 1t meets
u need that has been keenly appar-
rent ever since the use of gas as an
Illuminating substance has been be-
fore the public. His invention makes
II impossible for gas to pass through
a Jet when It is not burning, hence
IL light is accidentally extinguished
blown out or goes out from tempor-
airy diffculty with the gas plant, the
flow of gas is sure to be cut of.
Thus 1t not only prevents gas from
escaping, but in many instances
saves. There are thousands of cases
of asphyxlation every year, and this
invention will forever put a stop to
It. Even If person wishes to sui
eide by the gas route It would be i'm
possible with this fixture on the
light, The invention is also very
valuable on gas or gasoline stove.
In most cities the latter are entirely
prohibited, but with this automatic
cutoff they are just as safe as any
kind of stove.
Mr.. Campbell has made headquar-
ters at the fair grounds and at Fra
ser's plumbing establishment II
Is suggested by someenthuslasts who
have become familiar with the pat
ent that Mr.. Campbell sell some
stock In his company while In Salem,
and Il is now understood that a lin
tied quantity will be placed at the dis
posal of Salem parties. II would be

to communicate with Mr.. |

COOS BAY
SHOWED"
HAWLEY

If Congressman Hawley does not
understand the situation on Coos
bay bar It is not because the citizens
Of North Bend did not do their
share. Yesterday afternoon they
acted on the presumption that Mr..
Hawley was from Missouri and
'"showed him" They all boarded
the Columbia and with a large lun-
ber vessel In tow went out over the
bar and turned the vessel loose.
While on the trip soundings were
taken on the bar, which showed "a
feet with the tide less than half In.
The facts are what every man wants,
and Coos Bay can always be depend
ed upon to give them.
On his trip into this country Mr.,
Hawley has gathered a fund OF In
formation relative to It's resources
and waterways which will stand him
in good stead when called upon by
the citizens for aid in putting
through the great event for the bay
dredging It to a depth which will
give II water enough to float the
largest ocean going ships. Mr..
Hawley has enjoyed his visit in. Coos
and Curry counties and has been
entertained at all points he has Wis
tied In a manner in keeping with his
official position. He will leave here
feeling that the country Is worthy
the attention of even the national
congress, and has learned what the
resources are which enthuse so many
who visit Coos Bay and the rest OF
the country adjacent.-Coos Bay
