Shall These Orphans Have Thanks
giving?

DIR. Jacobs Of the Thornwell Or
phanage, Clinton. s. c.. writes:
"a little child alone in the world, its
bright black eyes filled with tears,
came to me held by the hand Of a
good woman. Only five years old
fatherless, she finds herself after
long ride on the cars, under the care
Of friendly Traveller, at The door of
the Orphanage. But poor little thing.
She knows nothing Of where she is
does not even know the place from
which she came; she has her name
written on slip of paper as an intro
ductionl to the kind friends who are
hereafter tc care for her. She brings
little package under her arnl.--it
is he- al, Of worldly goods. So it
was. only a few weeks ago, but now
now different. Tears are dried. She
is opening her bright eyes to the les.
sons that come to her daily. Falling
into the routine Of chapel and schoo!
and dinner and play, she is waking
p, her young soul is speaking
through lips fingers and feet and dim
pied cheek.
Someone now loves the little girl
Someone puts her to sleep at night
after her lips have whispered Our
Father" She is finding home, she
is finding herself, she will some LAY
find God.
This little child was welcomed to
the loving care Of the Thornwell Or
phanage. Every one Of the $50 chill
dren in the school Of that institution
have had more or less Of the same en-
perience. 1t is true that between them
and grim necessity. there is a strong
wall of defence. But the people who
love God and little children are that
wall. The Orphanage Is under Pres.
byterian control but it is for all or
phans. 1t turns none away because
OF its fathers faith. There are 1855
Orphans from South Carolina under
its care, 62 from Georgia, 23 from
Florida and the rest from ten other
Southern States. Not one has living
father.

WILL BE A BIG MEET.
Turf Associations Thanksgiving Meet
Promises to be Great Succcss-Ex.
pert Superintendent for Track Here.

Unless all signs fail, the Thanksgiv-
ing meet Of the Sumter Turf Associa-
ton promises to be one of the best and
most largely attended meets in the
state this season. Inquiries are being
received daily as to the track and the
coming event. There will be a long
string Of fast horses here and already
there are quite number at the track
stables.
An expert horseman, Mr.. Flynn,
has been engaged to take charge Of
the track for the winter and he has
arrived and is quartered at the as
sociation's track. Mr.. Flynn has
been all over the country and knows
few things about horse racing and
tracks He says that the Sumter
track is 20. K" and is as good as any
he has ever been on. He says it COM
pares favorably with the famous track
at Bennings. Mr.. Flynn has a string
of fine horses, also, and the associa-
ton is certainly fortunate in secur-
ing his services.
The work on the stables is nearly
completed and the track will be in
the best Of condition when the big
meet comes off on Nov. 26, 27 and 2s.
1t will have splendid cushion" and
will be just right for record breaking
races
Reduced rates will be given on the
railways and there will be heavy at
tendance at the meet.

NOTES OF THE STAGE.

Lulu GIaser has given up the idea Of
starring in George Coban's THE Small
Town Girl" She will probably go into
vaudeville.
Maxine Elliott Will spend the summer in
Italy. Next season she will be seen in a
new play by HaddOn Chambers. She is
under her own management
It is evident that the antf-syndicate
forces are growing. David Belasco is to
have two theaters in New York next
season. and ten companies under his man
agement will be on the road.
Mrs. Langtry has not made a huge
success in vaudeville. and she has re
turned to England, where she viii play
in repertoire of her old plays.
Emma Carus has closed her tour in
Too Near Home" and is probably glad
that she was not too far from home be
fore she found out that the piece would
not go.
The forthcoming production Of The
White Chrysanthemum' Will see the en-
gagement of Miss Fuji-Ko. a Japanese
actress. who has won some distinction in
the theaters of Tokyo. She was in the
English production of the piece, and the
London critics spoke highly of her work.
The fact that in GLORIOUS Betsy" Miss
Mary Mannering plays one act in bare
feet gives the tired press agent a chance;
and row there is a story to the effect
that she has caught cold in her feet and
lit has affected her voice. 1t may be a
tack on the carpet that viii lay her up
next time.
Mrs. Leslie Carter's troubles have re-
suited in her signing to play under the
management of Henry 3. Harris. She

''Zaza," in which, under Belasco's man

The President yesterday signed an or
der restoring to the public domain nearly
SO.OOO000 acres of land withdrawn from
entry nde- former orders. It is esti-
mated that the original Withdrawals
amounted to about 64OO0OO acres. so
the restorations ordered yesterday amount
to upward Of one-balf of the whole area.
The President addressed the following
letter on the subject to the Secretary of
the Interior:
TO the Secretary Of the Interior:
In view Of the reports made by the
Geological Survey on The character and
quality Of lands covered by orders dated
July 26 October 20, l3, and Is. 1906.
Withdrawing certain lands from coal

are directed to modify these orders in
the following particulars:
"AH lands which are now reported by

workable coal shall be Immediately re-
leased.
Other Lands TO BE Opened.
"AH lands which contain workable beds
of coal and concerning which the Geo
logical Survey has sufficient information
available to enable you to properly class
ify them, shall be open to coaIt entry as
soon as you shall classify such lands
and promulgate rules and regulations for
making entry.
Hereafter other lands shall be SINH
larly opened to entry as rapidly as the
Geological Survey can make proper ex-
animation thereof and report 10 YOU.
Il am advised that under this order
about 2S,0O0,000 acres Of coal land will im-
mediately be opened TO entry.
