Awaiting myself of the beautiful custom estab-
lished many years ago and endorsed by the sentiment
of the good people Of the country, I, M. F. Ansel,
Governor of the State of South Carolina, do hereby
designate and appoint Thursday, the 10th day of
November, A. D. 1908, as a day of general Thanks
giving.
The State of South Carolina has many things to
be thankful for during the past year: While the
great rainfall and high waters of August last brought
devastation to numerous farms, and also the loss OF
several lives, thereby bringing sadness and mourning
to many, yet we should be thankful for the manifold
blessings we have received at the hand Of the Giver
of all good.
We have enjoyed the peace and liberty guaran-
teed by the Constitution; there has been no visitation
famine and pestilence, and our fields have produced
a reasonable harvest. In educational and moral ad-
vancement, our Commonwealth has made splendid
progress and there has been an awakening in the pub
lie conscience which points to the dawn of a better
day. Whatever else may be said no one can gainsay
that the ideals of citizenship have been raised, that
there is greater respect for law, that human kindness
is more manifest and that goodness has outweighed
evil. ..... '
Let all the people, therefore, lay aside for this one
day their usual vacations, assemble in their houses OF
worship as we'll as in their homes and give thanks to
God for His many tokens of love and kindness to US
as a people and as a State. Let us also on this day
remember the poor and the distressed in our midst
the several orphanages that are caring for the father
less and motherless little ones, that our gifts and
words of cheer may bring sunshine and happiness to
all of these. .. >.
Let us further invoke the Lord of Hosts to grant
unto us, through the coming years, a continuance Of
His. blessings and beseech Divine guidance for US asa
people and as a State for all future time.
Given under my hand and the great seal of the
State Of South Carolina, at the Capitol in the city of
Columbia, this 18th day of November, 1908, and Of
the Independence Of the United, States the one hun
dred and thirty-third. ..' .
