The practice of keeping All annual
Thanksgiving Day originated in New
England William Bradford, whO was
governor of the Plymouth colony
from 1920 with the exception of five
years, when he refused election) till
his death in 1857, was the first to OBJ
serve an annual Thanksgiving Day,
and since 1920 every year this annual
festival is kept by our nation. The
Church of God in all ages has had its
special times of thanksgiving. There
is more said of praise and thanks
giving in the Bible than of prayer,
and the chief aim of special seasons
of thanksgiving is to remind us to be
thankful not only on special occa-
sions, but at all times. We should at
all times and in all places give thanks
to God for his innumerable blessings.
The spirit of thankfulness is so
proper and befitting that no one
should fail to cultivate it. We SHOULD
thank God for our personal, spiritual
and national blessings. Our personal
blessings, our lives, our health, our
friends and our many comforts we en-
Joy. Thank God for our spiritual
blessings; His Word, which is lamp
to our feet-our Guide-Chart; His
Church, which exerts wholesome
and saving influence, everywhere it
is established, and if it does not reach
and save all, keeps untold numbers
from being lost.
Thank God for our national bless
ings; our free land; our many insti-
tutions of learning, public and pri-
vate, sectarian and nOn-sectarlan;
our peace and prosperity.
Some might ask the question: Am
| to be thankful for everything-mis-
fortunes, bereavements, pain, and the
many ills that befall us in life? The
message from Gods Word is not to
give thanks for everything, but to
give thanks in everything. In |. Thes-
salonians, fifth chapter, eighteenth
verse, we read these words: In
everything give thanks; for this is
the will of God in Christ Jesus con-
cerning you" God, who knows us al
together has. and will ever be mind
full of our race if we look to Him for
guidance and protection. Happy is
the nation whose God is the Lord,
saith the Psalmist, and what is true
of nations in this respect is true OF
a race and individuals.
with grateful hearts let us keep
One true Thanksgiving Day,
And if there be some sorrowing ones,
Less favored than we are,
A generous gift to them, think,
Is just as good as prayer.
So let us come together all,
To keep in the good old way,
Just as they did in days of yOre,
A glad Thanksgiving Day.

STOCKHOLDERS RATIFY
ACTION OF DIRECTORS
Consolidated Company Will Be Known
as the New Orleans, Mobile and Chi
cago Railroad and Two New Lines
Will Be Constructed.

Mobile, Ala, September 9.-At
joint meeting of the shareholders of
the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City,
Gulf and Chicago and New Orleans,
Mobile and Chicago Railroads, held in
this city last night, a merger of the
three lines was formally effected.
The new consolidated company will
be known as the New Orleans, Mobile
and Chicago Railroad. The officers
are: L. S. Berg, president; w. F.
Owen general manager; H. M. Hood,
auditor; George w. Crary, secretary
and treasurer '~
1t is understood that securities ag-
gregating $3,O00,0OO will at once be
placed on the market and that the
northern end of the road will be
pushed to d point on the Mississippi
River near Cairo as speedily as possi-
BILE.
Surveys have been completed for the
New Orleans extension, soon to be
constructed from a point on the Mo-
bile, Jackson and Kansas City near
Ovette to the Louisiana metropolis. 1t
is said that work on this line will not
begin until the northern extension is
completed, but there is no doubt of
the company's intention to get into
New Orleans at the earliest possible
moment, terminal facilities having al
ready been secured there.

Will EMPLOY LARGE
NUMBER OF WORKMEN
Nothing Definite to Give Out, Only
the Plant Is Considering Hatties-
burg as Location and Efforts Will
Be Made to Bring 1t Here.

The Commercial Club is now figur-
ing on securing one of the largest
plants that Hattiesburg has ever had,
and while there is no absolute GER
tainty that the plant will be secured,
yet there has been several things to
cause those who have been investlgat-
ing to believe that Hattiesburg has a
fine chance to get the plant.
The matter was discussed informally
last night at a meeting of the board
of directors of the Commercial Club,
but it was decided not to give out the
name or location of the plant that it
is hoped to bring here. This decision
was made for obvious reasons and no
definite information will be given out
until the matter is further considered.
1t is known, however, that the new
concern will manufacture a certain
kind of machinery that will be new in
its line. In other words 1t will be ma
chinery that will sell like wildfire"
when put upon the market.
The corporation which has been
considering Hattiesburg as a location
is said to be large one and the plant
will be an immense affair. The COM
, pany will want twenty acres for it's
new plant. and, of course, will have
no difficulty in securing this. 1t is ex-
pected that 500 men will be employed
from the start, and that this number
will be rapidly increased.
This is about all the Daily News is
at liberty to say about the new enter
prise at this time, but it hopes to give
some definite information later. The
matter is now being properly handled
and if the enterprise is what is ex-
pected of it, no effort will be spared to
locate it in Hattiesburg.

DEMOCRATIC LEADER

the language of Jefferson and declares
that it expresses the party's position
at this time.
1t would be almost as difficult to
maintain a free, self-governing repub-
lie over large area and with large
population without state governments
as it would be to maintain such a re-
public without a general government.
The interests of the different parts of
the country are so varied, and the
matters requiring legislative attention
so numerous that it would be impos-
sible to have all of the work done at
the national Capitol. One has only to
examine the bills introduced in each
Congress, and then add to the number
the bills introduced at the legislative
sessions of each of the forty-six states,
to realize that it would be beyond the
power of any body of men to legislate
intelligently on the multitude of ques-
tions that require consideration.
Not only would national legislators
lack the time necessary for investiga-
ton, and therefore lack the informa-
ton necessary to wise decision, but
the Indifference of representatives in
one part of the country to local mat
ters in other parts of the country
would invite the abuse of power. Then,
too, the seat of government would be
so far from the great majority of the
voters as to prevent that scrutiny of
public conduct which is essential to
clean and honest government. The
union of the separate states under a
federal government offers the only
plan that can adapt itself to indefinite
extension.
Our constitution expressly reserves
to the states and to the people re-
spectively all powers not delegated to
the federal government, and only by
respecting this division of powers can
we hope to keep the will of the people.
Because in all disputes as to the rela-
tive spheres of the nation and the
states the final decision rests with the
federal courts, the tendency is natural
ly toward Capitalization, and greater
care is required to preserve the reserv-
ed rights of the states than to main
tain the authority of the general gov
ernment.
In recent years another force has
been exerting an increasing influence
in extending the authority of the cent
raj government. | refer to the great

said:
The success of our system of govern
ment rests upon the careful observ-
ance of the constitutional division of
power between the state and the ma
ton. A number of expressions have
been coined to describe the relations
existing between the federal govern
ment and the several subdivisions,
but no one has been more felicitious in
definitions than Jefferson or more ac-
curate in drawing lines of demarkation.
He presented the historic position of
the Democratic party when he declar-
of the state governments in all their
rights, as the most complete admin
istrations for our domestic concerns
and the surest bulwarks against anti.
republican tendencies" and ''the pres
ervation of the general government in
