RECEPTION TO
THE A. @. II. BABY
John D. Kelley Presented
With a Gold Chain and
Charm Last Night

In Irish-American Hall last evening
nearly 200 members of the A. o. H., in
Guiding State and county officers gath
cred at the reception by Division No 4
to the Baby" No. II. Following the rou-
tine business of the division State Presi-
dent Jerome j. Herley in addressing the
meeting said that Division No. always
showed its appreciation of good work.
When Hibernian serves as an officer for
twenty-five years, such as President John
r. Kelley has done. il was only fitting
that he should be chained to the Division.
Therefore on behalf of No. A he presented
President Kelley with a handsome gold
chain and charm, the latter being suit
ably inscribed. They were designed and
furnished by Carter and Company, of this
city. The chain is a reminder of the links
Of good fellowship and the charm is to
hold fond recollections.
President Kelley had to bear the laugh
ter of those presen; for he was unable to
respond. It was a genuine surprise and
being so anecte= he asked to be excused.
President Thomas +. O'Donnell. of No.
/: County President McIvor, and several
I others spoke congratulating No. 4 and its
honored president who served twenty
years as secretary and has been its presi-
dent for five years.
A social session followed and the Baby
was there with the goods. Although only
two weeks old it has a big class for iniu-
alton next Sunday in st. Elizabeth's Hall.
The Baby" has learned a new song and
sang it last evening for the first time. The
chorus follows:
Let the Watchword boys be Onward, u
In our order ever grand:
! No surrender to the foemen
In the cause Of native land.
With the green immortal Shamrock.

THANKSGIVING.

Yesterday was observed throughout
the United States as holiday, devoted
by many to feasting and merry max
ing, and by many others to thanksgiv-
ing and prayer-the few to the latter
use, the many to the former.
Thanksgiving Day has its origin sc
far back in the dim ages Of the past
that there Is little need now to at
tempt to trace its origin; but there
seems to be no doubt Of the fact that
the first American Thanksgiving Day
was observed as such by the pilgrim
fathers, on proclamation by Governor
Belford, in 1923. After that the day
became a pretty well established insti-
tuition in New England, and since the
foundation of the American govern
ment, each president, beginning with
Washington, has issued Thanksgiving
proclanations annually. custom finally
fixing the last Thursday in November
as the uniform date.
It is a pretty idea, this thing Of a
whole nation uniting in Thanksgiving
and prayer to God on the same day at
least once a year, and the fact that the
authority for so doing comes from the
head of the nation, and from the heads
of the different states does not In any
wise detract from the gratifying sig
nificance Of the occasion.
But as pretty as Is this idea, we are
impressed with the belief that its ac-
ceptability to the Almighty Father Is
not proportioned so much as what
seems to us the wide extent Of the OBJ
servance, as the sincerity Of the indi-
viduals who participate in the devo-
tions of the day, and while this annual
day of thanksgiving and prayer Is in no
wise out of place, there are many rea-
sons why individuals should try to
keep in more constant daily touch with
the Divine "giver of every good and
perfect gift"
In its observance, however, we fear
that the real significance Of Thanks
giving as holiday like that Of Christ
mas, is largely lost on the majority OF
people. The tendency Of the majority
Is to look upon the day as day OF
relaxation and enjoyment only, few
of feasting, rather than a day Of fast
ing, and to large extent the occasion
has rather more form than substance.
If there was occasion for thanksgiv-
ing and prayer yesterday, and there
was, there is no less occasion today,
and there will be just as much on all
future days, and If all the other days
Of the year are properly observed
those who give such observance will be
the better fitted to observe the annual
Thanksgiving day.

CASE OF cHAS. s. MAY.

One of the saddest and most i'm
pressiye cases that has come UP In the
general sessions for York county dur
ing a good many years past, was that
of the State against Chas. s. May, for
mer treasurer of the city Of Rock Hill,
which was disposed Of Wednesday af-
ternoon by a plea Of guilty, and sem
tence of three years in the York coun-
ty jail.
The essential facts in this case are
now pretty generally understood, they
having gotten to the public first In the
form of suppressed rumors, and later
in the form of newspaper publications,
and although there was no recorded
testimony in the proceedings, state
ments made by counsel in open court,
in an effort to secure the greatest
possible mitigation Of the punishment
to be imposed, virtually corroborated
all that had been published.
It has not been practicable to get
exact details as to the amount alleged
to have been embezzled by the de-
fendant. Shortly after the develop
ment of the fact that Mr.. Mays ac-
counts were mixed, he reported that he
was behind $1,000, and this amount was
made good by the voluntary sale OF such
property as he had and by his bonds
men. The American Audit company
made a thorough investigation at the
instance of the city council Of Rock
Hill, and although the Audit company
found the records in bad shape, some
of the books and vouchers missing, II
was willing to certify to a shortage OF
at least $1,000, and felt reasonably
certain that the correct figures were
in excess Of that sum.
Recently, friends Of Mr.. May and OF
his family went to Chester to see Solic-
itor Henry with reference to securing
a compromise of the case. The dele
CATION included a number Of influential
business men Of Rock Hill. Their pro-
position was, in effect that they would
make good to the city $4,000, the addi-
tional amount claimed by the Ameri-
can Audit company to be due, II the
solicitor would agree to drop the
prosecution. 1t was intimated to him
that If he should attempt to prosecute
anyway, he might not be able to avail
himself Of such evidence as Is in the
hands of the city council Of Rock Hill
and upon which he would have to
rely for a conviction. The solicitor
promptly replied that II anything OF
that kind was attempted he would add
still other counts that he named, to the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-11-26

Boles, escaped. Messages Of condo
lence from all parts Of the country
were received by the De Almonds this
afternoon. James A. De Almond, edi-
tor Of the Bates County Democrat,
son Of the congressman and father OF
the boy who burned to death, tried TO
rush into the burning house to save
them, but was prevented by others
who knew his sacrifice would be In
vain. The De Almond home was a
large two-story frame structure set
we'll back from the street. On two
sides Of the house equal with the Sec
end floor four rooms, or outdoor sleep
ing apartments, had been constructed,
and at the time the fire broke out
the occupants of the house occupied
these rooms. The financial loss is
placed at $4,000, and included one Of
the best libraries In the state. Besides
James A. De Almond, the sons OF the
dead congressman are Edward H., an
instructor at West Point, and Lieut..
George w. De Armcnd, now serving
with the army in the Philippines. Mrs.
Clark is a daughter. Congressman De
Armond was born in Blair county. Pa,

buttons be as large as ever, and If pos
sible larger than usual.
