ing with appropriate public exercises
in the opera house on Thursday night.
There was large crowd of the mem

es were opened with prayer by the
Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, pastor of the
Lutheran Church Of the Redeemer.
After a few remarks by the sachem the
meeting was turned over to Mr.. E. II.
Aull, chairman of the Thanksgiving
service committee, who read the
Thanksgiving proclamation of Great
Sachem Otto Klettner, and after few
appropriate remarks introduced Great
Sachem Klettner, of the great council
of South Carolina.
Mr.. Klettner made an inspiring ad-
dress, in which he spoke of the prln-
ciples of the order, freedom, friend
ship and charity, including service OF
God and service of man. He express
ed his qualification as great sachem

COLLEGE DEFEATS TOWN.
Snappy Game of Football On College
Gndiron ON Thanksgiving After
noon.

By a score Of S to 0, representing a
touchdown and a goal from the field
on a drop kick, the college defeated
the town and a pretty football game
On the college gridiron on ThanksglV-
ing afternoon. The touchdown was
made by Floyd, who carried the ball
across the towns line on forward
' pass from Doscher, and the drop-kick
over the towns. goal was from the
field by Floyd.
The game was started with a kick
for the college by ,Smeltzer. The ball
went to Boozer, of the town. The town
by heavy drives through the line and
short end runs steadily advanced it to
the centre and Norwood made a ff-
teen-yard run from there. Parks went
ten yards. The college here made a
y -desperate stand, and got the ball. Al
ter pretty tackle by Aull, for the
town the town again got the ball, but
lost ground, necessitating a punt. The
college held the ball on the 20-yard
Zine. Wilson advanced the ball good
distance. After some excellent play
ing the time was called with the ball
in college territory only few yards.
In the second quarter of the first
half Kreps kicked off. There was
some excellent work by Shelter,
Kreps, Boozer, Norwood, Wicker, Aull
and Havird, on both sides, but no
score.
It was not until the second quarter
OF the second half that there was a
score when Floyd in pretty play took
the ball over the line. The college
failed to kick goal, and the score stood
5 to 0. Later after varying fortunes
of the TWO teams, the goal kick from
field was made, raising the colleges
score toS.
When the amount of practice had
, by the two teams is considered, there
was. some excellent work on both
sides. There were some pretty runs
and some strong line work.
The town team was especially got
up for the game, as was the college
team, but the college boys hope to
keep their organization and possibly
in the future to take part in some
intercollegiate games.

of South Carolina, acted as referee,

Business Review of The
Past Week by Henry Clews

Firmer money, labor troubles, profit
taking and absenteeism all combined to
induce moderate reaction in stock
market values. Several influences al
so contributed to higher rates for mon
ey. Disbursements around the LIST of
April are always exceptionally heavy,
and preparations for that contingency
had much to do with the recent ad-
vance in interest rates. Bank reserves
have been declining and the demands
upon the money market to finance new
security issues, were also an important
element in the situation. The advance
of 1 per cent in the Bank of England
abroad. also exerted a perceptible in
fluence. Added to this is the general
activity in business on a high price
level, which absorbs loanable funds
much more rapidly than when prices
were upon a lower scale. AS for la.
Dor troubles, these have had a decid
eddy deterrent effect, especially where
demands have been radical and ,unrea
sonable. Demands for higher wages
have frequently caused less concern
than the regulations which some of the
unions sought to enforce upon their
employers. So long as present pros
perity continues there is a disposition
among corporation managers to deal
literally with labor. which materially
softens the antagonism between cap
ital and labor, and lessons the proba
bilities of any serious disturbances. II
is to be noted, however, that the abil-
ity to pay the higher rates Of wages is
frequently confined to the large estab
lishments, many of the smaller and
newer concerns not being able to re
port such. handsome rates of profit as
shown by some of the big industrials
and the older established railroad sys
TENS. A great deal Is made in the
press of the profits of some of the
leading concerns, but practically moth
ing is heard of the smaller concerns
some of which are keenly feeling the
increased cost of production. and art
not always able to meet the growing
demand of employees.
While general business is fairly &C
tive, and has a promising outlook, still
activity is not evenly distributed. The
farming classes probably lead in point
of genuine prosperity, owing to the
abnormally high prices of all agricul
tural products. The iron trade. too
in its leading branches, appears to bt
enjoying a full share of activity
though on a basis of lower prices
There is also great activity in the rea
estate field, especially in the West
where speculative operations are being
conducted upon an unprecedented
scale. In other directions. however
the outlook is not SO roseate. Tit
cotton goods industry is in very un
satisfactory condition. Many cottor
mills are idle The high price OF cot

PAYS JEWS TRIBUTE
President Taft Says Nice
Words for the Race in
Contribution.
THEY ARE GOOD CITIZENS

New York, March 21.-A message
from President Taft to the Jews of
America was printed in the twenty
fifth anniversary issue of the Jewish
Daily News of this city.
The president publishes correspon-
dence with the secretary of state show
ing the efforts of the administration
to obtain full recognition in Russia of
American passports granted Jewish
citizens. Secretary Knox, in reply to
the presidents letter of inquiry, replies
in part as follows:
The question of obtaining from the
of American passports without dis
elimination of the faith or race of the
citizens to whom they are lawfully
granted has long absorbed the atten-
ton of this government, and repeated
efforts have been made to induce the
imperial authorities to recede from OF
relax the rule by which Jews bearing
native American passports are eXclud-
ed from Russia save in exceptional in
stances of specially granted permission
The late change in the organization
VI lle lulpSI Idi dlloh ou toH
stitutional bases has been accompanied
with measures looking to the material
amelioration of the restrictions tC
which Jews have long been subjected
in Russia, and among other measures
announced is an imperial commission
to revise passport regulations.
so far no result in this direction
has been observed, but the recognition
of the principle involved in opening the
question of revision is hopeful indi
cation of which the American Embas
sy has been instructed to take all pos
sible advantage"
President Taft adds his persona
greetings, as follows:
Your constituency is an intelligent
hard working, patriotic body of mel
who appreciate the opportunities o
free government. education at public
expense and equal opportunity. Ii
general they make excellent citizens
and justify our policy of hospitality t.
desirable immigrants"
