THANKSGIVING DAY.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SETS
IT NOVEMBER 20.
Recommends People to Cease Labor and
Devote the Day to Thanksgiving to
the Almighty for the Many and Great
Blessings They Have Received Dur
ing the Past Year.

President Roosevelt has issued the
annual Thanksgiving proclamation.
After detailing the wonderful growth
of the United States Gin strength and
worldly power, the president says:
"With a nation, as with the indi-
viduals who make up nation, material
ell-being is an indispensable founda-
ton. But the foundation avails moth
ing by itself. That life is wasted, and
worse than wasted, which is spent in
piling, heap upon heap, those things
which minister merely to the pleasure
of the body and to the power that rests
only on wealth. Upon material we'll
bling as a foundation must be raised
the structure of the lofty life of the
spirit, if this nation is properly to fulfill
it's great mission and to accomplish all
that we so ardently hope and desire.
The things of the body are good; the
things of the intellect better, but best
of all are the things of the soul; for in
the nation, as in the individual, in the
long run it is character that counts.
"Let us therefore as a people set our
faces resolutely against evil, and with
broad charity, with kindness and good
will toward all men, but with unflinch-
ing determination 20 smite down wrong,
strive with all the strength that is
given us for righteousness in public and
in private life.
"Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
Welt, president of the United States, do
set apart Thursday, the Goth day of
November next, as a day of general
Thanksgiving and prayer, and on that
day l recommend that the people shall
cease from their daily work, and in
homes or in their churches meet de
voutly to thank the Almighty for the
many and great blessings they have
received in the past and to pray that
they may be given the strength so to
order their lives as to deserve a con
tinuation of these blessings in the
FUTURE

The railway development of China,

ALEWA HEIGHTS
SOME or THOSE WHO BOUGHT
LOTS HAVE NOT DONE NECES-
SARY CLEARING.

The Alewa lots which were sold a
year ago today are causing some trou-
BILE for one or two of the owners. Ac-
cording to the agreement which was
made they we're to be cleared within
year and in several cases this work
has not even been commenced. In all
probability Land Commissioner Pratt
will cancel the agreements of those
VINO have been so dilatory and others
will have chance to buy.
When asked what ne was going to
do about the matter this morning Mr..
Pratt was little indefinite. He stat
ed that he had not yet made an in
spection of the lots and did not know
whether the purchasers had failed to
live up to their bargains or not When
that had been done he stated that he
would be ready to take action.

LLOYOSss BETS nine TO
ONE AGAINST BRYAN

NEW YORK, July 16. -Lloyds OF
London, the underwriting firm, has
accepted new risk during the last
few days. The firm has been writing
policies on the election of William ].
Bryan. 1t has placed over $780, 900
worth in the Wall-street district since
Tuesday The rate is 10 per cent
Policies have been taken out mainly
by brokers and financiers who are long
on the market and who are anxious
to hedge against a smash in stocks
in the event of Bryan's election. In
other words. at the 10 per cent rate.
the policy holder has bet, say $4,000
against 100000 that Bryan will be
elected. The only difference is that, In
either event, Lloyd's keeps the $4,000
thus making the odds against Bryan
8 to l.
Bertschumann e Maloy, insurance
brokers of 16 Exchange place, said TO-
day they did a business of $445, 900 in
one day and have applications fof
100000 more, for which they were
awaiting Lloyd's confirmation.

them by good substantial majorities.
Four other congressional districts
were quite close two years ago and a
change OF 1000 votes would carry two
more. This outlook is not as encour-
aging as It might be, but there is trou-
BILE brewing among Tennessee demo-
Gratis, resulting from factional troubles,
and this may be turned to account.
Missouri surprised everybody four
years ago by turning up In the repub-
lican column She now has one repub-
lican senator and four republican con-
gressmen out of sixteen. Three of the
republican districts are reasonably
safe; one overwhelmingly so, and
among the democratic districts, three
were carried by less than 500 votes,
while a change of 1000 votes would
give the republicans six additional dis
tricts. A desperate fight is to made IN
Missouri. Present indications are that
the republicans have a little better
than a fighting chance. Missouri is
debatable ground In the coming cam
paign, and IS so regarded by the Re-
publican managers.
The congressional figures are not
particularly encouraging in Kentucky,
though the republicans now have four
out of eleven congressman and one
democratic district was carried in 1906
by bare majority of rs. In the other
districts much larger majorities pre-
vailed running all the way from 5000
to 10000. In recent years, however,
Kentucky has been a very uncertain
state, so uncertain that democrats no
longer claim it as sure in their column,
and the Bryan apathy, combined with
Taft's popularity may. under discreet
campaigning, swing this common
wealth into the republican column.
There is at least sufficient encourage
ment to justify the managers in put
ting up stiff night in the Blue Grass
region.
Out of the Ave states enumerated
North Carolina offers the least encour-
agement to the Taft managers. Two
years ago North Carolina elected a so
lid democratic delegation in Congress
turning out the lone republican. but in
times past North Carolina has had
two and three republicans In Con
gress; once a republican SENATOR anC
Frank Hitchcock is determined tC
make as aggressive a campaign as has
ever been made in North Carolina. N
most North Carolina districts the
democratic majority ranges from 50OC
to 7OOO but three districts are reason,
