THANKSGIVING FOR ORPHANS
Help the Little Homeless Boys and
Girls Home.

We doubt If any set of people
look forward to Thanksgiving with
more delight than the orphans.
They know full well that on thai
day they will be in many hearts;
and that the prayers of the peop.e
who love little children will be made
for them.
At the Thornwall Orphanage, Clin-
ton, South Carolina, there are 250
orphans. Of these $50 are from
the State of South Carolina, 60 from
Georgia and q from Florida, the
rest from other States. Children
from any section of our country,
however, are welcome, provided they
are fatherless, of tender years and
in need of aid. Once received they
are not dismissed, except at their
own request, but are educated thor
oughly, are taught some good trade
and sent out able to take care Of
themselves without further protection
from the Institution.
Their support comes from all parts
of the country. Provisions, money
and anything that can be used in
the ordinary family can be used
here at the Thronwell Orphanage.
The Institution itself is on the
cottage system. There are Is cot
tages, with six public buildings for
mental, moral, manual and techni-
cal training. And it continues to
grow as new cottages can be erect
ed.

CmSSing VS.. Debt Paving.

The habit of inGulging in the use
of profane or obscene language is
one Of the most useless and nom
sensical habits human being ever
acquired. No man or youth ever
raised himself in the estimation OF
saint or sinner by the u.s. Of foul
language. Purity OF thought and
speech are valuable virtues. And
yet, it's our honest opinion that the
man who unwittiEgly 'cussos" a
little now and thea. is not half so
big 4 sinner as the fellow who con
tinuously thinks evil and speaks evil
OF his reighbors. and refuses 10 pay
his honest debts ii he can afford TO
co so.

HE STEALS ALRIGHT.
But Draws the Line on Five Sacks
of Rice.

'Jedgs, I steal alright, but you
know 1 never stole dat rice, an dares
no reason trying to lay it on me.
Fac is 1 never woulder get way with
dat much no how" These were the
remarks of Albert Allen, charged
with stealing five sacks OF rice from
w. ]. Cooney, of Augusta, Ga, as
reported by the Chronicle.
Allen was on trial before Judge
Hammond, and the remarkable state
ment of the negro caused everybody
in the court room to go into laugh
ter, and the court joined in with the
rest, as it was too funny to let slip
by. Continuing his statement, AL
len said:
Dem charges are false, any how,
gentlemen, and TO God if I had
knowned dey was after resting me-
dey never coul6er ketched me.
saw Mr.. Bentley dere with Mr.. Coon
ey, and you know dis niger can
sho run when he thinks de officers
are after him. l didn't steal dem
riccs no how and for dat reason i
neber runned.'
Aliens frank and amusing state
ment fixed his fate, for three years
at least. After hearing it the jury
retired, and after being out minute
or so returned with verdict OF
guilty, and the judge promptly sent
Allen to work on the county roads
for three years. The jury evidently
did not believe Aliens statement that
he did not steal them rices no how,
hence the verdict OF guilty.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Case of General Interest Settled by
Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court on last Satur-
day handed down very Interesting
decision in a case in which Orange
burg people are interested.
This is the case of II. L. Slawson
against the Equitable Ere Insuran :e
Company Of Charleston. The amount
involved is about twelve hundred
dollars. The Insurance Company in
sured Slawson's country store and
while the policy was in force the
store with stock of goods was burn
ed.
The Company refused to pay the
loss because Slawson did not have
an iron SAFE in which his books were
kept Slawson claimed that he in
formed the agent of the rompany
when the polisy was taken out that
he had no iron safe.
The jury gave Sawson the full
amount claimed with interest, and
Judge klugh ruled that the verdict
should stand.
Tho Company then appealed to the
Supreme Court, which by divided
Court decides that the Company
must pay Slawson.
Justices Pope and Gary decide that
the policy is valid; while justices
Jones and Woods hold that Slawsor
should not recover.
Under the law when the Supreme
Court is evenly divided the Judge
ment of the Circuit Court must stand;
and accordingly Slawson will get MS
money.
Messrs Glaze & Herbert and Wolfe
& Berry represented SlawsOn; Will
Messrs. Mordccai {; Gadsdcn ard
Rayson & Summers represented the
insurance company.

Good Things Accomplished.
To the Rural Carriers Of South
Carolina
The greatest power in the word
today is organized power. Single
handed individuals can do little or
nothing; but when united they can
accomplish wonders. Every carrier
appreciates this fact to the fullest:
therefore, I shall not dwell upon ii.
only to the extent of reminding YOU
that, in unity there is strength.
Let us arouse ourselves and organ
ize. Our State organization can be
useful in many ways. First, by
working together with the prestage
of the State Association behind each
Of us, we will finally succeed III
creating sentiment for better roads
and who should be more interest
ed in good roads than the rural car
rier? This thing cannot be done IN
day; we must keep everlastingly
ct it as the days and months go by
and the victory will surely be won.
,2nd. The salary question is au-
other incentive for organization. By
cooperating with the other Stare
as associations throughout the Unit
cd States VIC shall be the better able
% communicate cur wants and needs
TO the postofIice department and thus
indirectly TO congress.
3rd Th;re Il a social and frater-
nal feature Of inestimable va.ue in
getting together in county and State
meetings. True, all of us cannot be
delegates to the State conventions,
but if we organize we can send COOL
men to the State convention who
may be able to bring the next con-
vention to our very door-first III
one part of the State and then in an
other.
There are a great many other lrea-
sons for organizing which I shall not
mention for lack of space.
If this call should meet the eye Of
a carrier in an unorganiZed county,
he should loose no time in making
of himself a pioneer in this cause
by getting busy. Let him drop d
postal card to every carrier in his
county (the State association will
pay for the cards. and urge them to
meet him at some central locality, on
Thanksgiving day, or new years
day (rot later than this) and or
ganize. If you will secure a half
dozen or more to meet with you.
will come or send some one of the
State officers to help you organize.
In closing, let me impress upon
you the supreme Importance of or
garizing. They are organizing very
rapidly in the North and West and
in our neighboring States. Let us
not lag behind. II organization =
good thing for them, it must be
good for us Also.

self-color velvet embroidered boldly in
self color and dull gold. tucker and
sleeves of gray net and guimpe of
fine yellowish lace. A long gray vel
vet coat accompanies the frock and
the model is of the directoire redingote
character, trimmed in buttons and or
naments of gray satin and soft draped
revers of the same satin. A note of
color is given by a little directoire
waistcoat of soft dull rose cloth en-
broidered in gray with glints of old

To wear with this is a big rose felt
hat, low, wide sitting down well on
the head. swathed in smokey gray vel
