Good Measure"

Last Wednesday Governor Ansel.
in accordance with the usual GUS
tom, issued his Thanksgiving pro-
clamation, naming Thursday. No
vember 25th, as day of general
thanksgiving. He gives many rea-
sons why the people of South Caro-
lima should slvo thanks. The State
has had an unusually prosperous
year and on all lines there are indi-
cations of many new enterp rises and
OF older corporations enlarging their
plants and output. Therefore, the
proclamation will be read with in
terest by the people of the State. 1t
is as follows:
Another year has rolled around
and another milestone In the 'compu-
tation of time has been, reached, and
we come once again to the harvest
time and the day of thanksgiving. In
conformity, therefore, to the long es-
tablished and beautiful custom of
observing this one day as a day of
thankfulness and Joy, l, M. F. Ansel,
Governor Of the State of South Car
olina, do hereby designate and ap-
point Thursday, the 25th day OF No
vember, a. d. 1909, as a day of gen.
eral Thanksgiving.
The people of South Carolina
nave many things to be thankful for.
The fields have yielded their fruits
IN good measure; we have been spar
ed from pestilence and famine; we
have had no epidemics of sickness: ::
we have had peace with all nations.
and fair return for all our Iabors.
We should be thankful also for the
full measure Of religious liberty that
we enjoy and that we can worship
God under our own vine and fig tree
with none to molest or make us
afarid.'
Let all the people, therefore, put
aside for the day their usual work.
assemble in their churches; as well as
IN their homes, and give thanks to
God for his many tokens of love and
Kindness to us as a people and as d
State. Let US not forget the poor
and needy and the various orphan
ages within the State, where the fa-
therleSs. and motherless are cared
Tor, but let us remember them in our
prayers as well as with our means.
and thereby bring a little sunshine
into their lives. Let us also pray for
a continuance of Gods grace and
goodness to us in the coming years.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the State of South Caro-
lima at the Capitol, in the city of
Columbia, this the 18th day of

FINLEY CHEERS THE FARMERS.
The Railway President Encourages
the Cotton Growers.

President Finley, Of the Southern
Railway, addressing a large gather
ing of folk from the countryside at
Salisbury, n. c., last Wednesday, and
later speaking at a banquet Of the
board of trade of that city, expressed
the conviction that in no area of
equal extent in the world Is the ag-
ricultural outlook brighter than in
the Southern States, and urged the
farmers not to neglect the cultiva-
ton of cotton.
I'VE may we'll look forward to q
time in the not far distant future"
said Mr.. Finley, "when the world
will call on the American cotton
planters for 20,O0O,000 bales every
year.
Mr.. Finley said he did not view
with any alarm the tendency Of
young people to leave the farm, but
said he believed the increased attrac-
tions of farm life would soon turn
the tide in the other direction.
''In viewing the figures" said Mr..
Finley, "it Is not to be wondered
that those responsible for the man
agement of the railways of the
South, seeing the agricultural ad-
vance going hand in hand with the
lHuuollidI ueNeiopiiShl, SHoulu nave
faith in their territory and should be
striving to the utmost to increase the
carrying capac'tv of their lines so as
to be able t. Uroperly handle the
increase in tr.Ifc which is sure to
come"
Mr.. Finley did not counsel the
growing Of cotton to the neglect of
other crops, but suggested that an
increase in production is necessary
to keep pace with the demand of the
wc!ld and that 1t be accomplished by
more intense cultivation and by the.
growing of variety of otAer crops
with cotton to the profit of the far
mer.

TIE FARM EXTENSION WORK.
NSW Undertaking by Clemson Col
lege-PrOf. Barrow i'm Charge.

The trustees OF Clemson College
hayeR established a farm extension
department in charge of Prof. D. N
Barrow. This is perhaps the most
significant step in the years work
at Clemson. Dr.. Barrow will devote
his entire time to practical demon
stration and field work with Farm
ers' Unions, county teachers asso-
Citations, rural high schools and
boys corn clubs. The trustees are
anxious for him to cooperate with
every endeavor of local, county and
State school officers to make agri-
cultural teaching practical, helpful
and attractive.
South Carolina's record in corn
growing is the best in the country.
One farmer in Aiken county reports
34S12 bushels on three acres, but
he Is behind young Archie Usher, of
Brightsville district, Marlboro coun-
~, who thia year won tn" Sta'e priz"
IT, the boys corn Clut, CUHruclpd by
County Supermtendent E. Jer,ng,
tIoductng 1924 bushels on his Prize
acre TIE real need for scientific
kuOWlcdEa on The iarm is easily seen
IN the exhibits at every county fair
and at the State fair each year. The
specimen ears of corn placed on eX-
hibition frequently show marked de-
feet, and both the farmers of the
State and their sons need to learn
standards, such as DR.. Barrow will
now be able to bring to every COM
munity he visits.
Every rural high school would do
well to appoint a farmers day and
invite DR.. Barrow to present his
of tf,,br
raj needs. Teachers can secure from
him, on application, the best bulle-
tins issued by Clemson College, as
well as the list of the most practical
issued by the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington. This extern
sion work has the fullest co-opera-
ton of Commissioner Watson and
State Superintendent of Education
Swearingen. The experiment de-
serbs the attention Of every coun-
tryschool in the State.

Hot Water for q Cough.

Hot water is good for a cough. A
sudden and wearing attack of
coughing often needs immediate at
stention, especially in consumptives
and those chronically Ill. In an
Emergency that ever-useful remedy,
bot water, will often prove very eff
'Iective. 1t is much better than the
ordinary Cough mixtures" which
disorder the digestion and spoil the
appetite. Water almost, boiling,
should be slipped when the parox-
lYsms come on. A cough. resulting
from irritation, Is relieved byQhot
water, through the promotion of Sc
%retion. which moistens the irritated
Isurfaces. Hot water also promotes
|expe%oration, and so relieves the
1ary cough.

building in course of construction IS, as general thing, heralded in all ofA the newspapers and there the matter ends unless the strikers places are filled by non. union men and violence ensues. If the construction of the building is outwardly carried on m peaceful manner, the public at large, II they consider the matter at all, do so with the impression that any dlfer- ences which may have existed have been disposed of and settled, but In many cases this is not true. The silent boycott follows and reign of terror to the business man is instituted; ter TOT to the business man lest his name, too. be added to the "unfair" list andS he will be unable to find a market for his goods. It is enforcing the boycott by a boycott and fear of boycott. People must attack others that they be not attacked themselves. Many who condemn such a policy as repugnanC to justice, fair play and honest competi- tion in which the most competent suc- ceeds, are obliged to cooperate in it for self defense. x
 The tyrannical methods of labor or ganizations in attempting to force their demands, from the refusal of which a, strike eusued, are lately we'll illus trated in San Frspcisco.
 The retail grocery clerks made cer- tain, demands upon their employers with reference to closing hours. Their demands were refused and they went on strike. A woman in the Mission conducted small milk and grocery store and on Sundays sold newspapers. This was her sole means of support for herself and her three children. She lived with her children in single room at the rear of this little store aud the only time that she could sell any of the articles which she kept for sale was after the closing hour demanded by the retail grocery clerks. The walking delegate of this union visited the wo- man who conducted this store and made demand upon her that she close at the regular closing time. The mat ter was entirely explained to the walk ing delegate, but he refused to listen aud immediately placed picket in front of the store declaring this wo- mans place to be unfair" and declar- ing her to be inimical to fair conditions for the grocery clerks union. This chivalrous union, with all it's sympathy for it's fellow laborers, pitted the strength of it's organization against this helpless woman, and had it not been for the organization which pub. fishes this magazine, she would have been obliged to abandon her means of Livelihood As it was, she was amply protected and is today carrying on the business of her little store without be- ing molested, but who can say how many customers she is deprived of by the silent boycott.
 This is not an isolated case and could be added to by innumerable others.

"Poor old boyr' she murmured. That setback we got today when we had it all fixed up was enough to make you feel sore and glum. Never mind; cheer up. You know what Jimsy says, Hard luck can give you an awful battle, but If you're on the square you can hand 1t a knockout punch some time.'"
 It was no use, however. Joe's sulki- ness had sunk in; his temper was vi cious, deep and ingrowing. a temper such as she had never suspected in him, and all her betting, all her loving coaxing, could not wean him from it. She pressed her cheek more closely to his and fondled him, but he jerked away from her embrace and surlily sought another chair.
 AS he did so the bell rang from downstairs.
 @Tll bet that's Jimsy now" he nut tered.
 Much hurt, but disgusting her feel ings, Emma hurried into the kitchen and pressed the button that opened the entrance door of the house.

 Almost" replied Brooks, brighten ing up little in spite of himself un- der the influence of his friends good natured smile and cheeriness that pos itively emanated from him. Just come up?'
 "Yep, and reckon in about time to help" he said, glancing at the crock cry on the table.
 "Just in time" assented Emma, whose dropping spirits also began to rise under the diversion caused by his advent. But first explain what you mean by not coming to dinner" '1 couldn't come, really. I tried my best, but had to attend to such a lot that I was unable to get here in time. I hope you didn't wait long for me. I'm awfully sorry"
 You look it-I don't think she scolded. GO OF; get busy if you're going to.''
 All right" he answered, taking up a small pile of cups and saucers very gingerly. Where do these go? If you left it to me, like as not I'd be putting soup plate behind the door and slip a broom into the sideboard." 'They go right in here"
 He stopped on the way to the side board and turned to Brooks.
 "Seen tie latest extra. Joe?' he in- quired. "1he Orinoco wasn't hardly scratched getting out of Rio Janeiro." You don't say:

 He drew it from his pocket and as he did so one of the cups balanced on the saucers slipped off and smashed to pits on the carpet.
 -Now, Jimsy, you certainly are going is get it" commented Joe, rising and taking the paper extended to him. {. Smith looked appealingly at bis "Jimsy," she chided, assuming an expression of mock gravity, "how ,ould you-my very best Sunday go to meeting china! How could your'
