moral law does not render the sacri-
fee of that thing or the exhibition
of that trait any the less noble or
lovely The grace of gratitude in
particular is peculiarly lovely vir-
tue. There is even, we may say an
aesthetic quality TO thankfulness.
Praise is comely for the upright"
said the Psalmist, who was an au-
thority on the beauty of holiness.
Even the world appreciates the ses-
thetic value of gratitude-as well as
its earning power, acquisitive of fu-
ture favors. as a practical asset of
life-and poets in all ages have sung
of the charm of a grateful spirit, the
nobility OF a responsive nature. Even
the birds look up when they drink, as
if In mute recognition of the heav-
emily source of the bits of blessing
which fall to them, and certainly man,
much more richly endowed and
blessed should do at least as much.

by the testimony of the lips and the
generous actions of the life.
Thanksgiving day is proper and
convenient occasion for considering
both the duty and the grace of graft
tude to the great Giver of all good
But Thanksgiving day is not simply
for the abstract discussion OF general
ideas present in thought or stirring
the emotions. This day does-or
should-have direct governing re-
lation to the ministries of the hand
and the unfolding of the wallet. g.. &.
When it is celebrated in the spirit OF
the scriptural exhortation to thank

cause It joins praise to God with prae-
ti..al ministry to the poor and unfor-
tunate. Thanksgiving should Issue
in thanksgiving. Praise should be-
come a practice. Gratitude must be-
come temper and tendency Of the
life. So will God be glorified and
gratified, and men, by their cordial
and constant recognition of his good
ness, be lifted in the scale OF. being
and be the better fitted to receive
from heaven more favors still.-Rey

exhorted to be of good cheer and to
count up their mercies.' Pauls
words are not only hortatory, but
also mandatory. 1t is the duty or
the Christian, amid all vicissitudes,
to be thankful A believer is never
justified in forgetting Gods benefits
to him. He is expected to figure out
every now and then the sum of the
divine favors that have been shown
to him, or what might be called the
statistics of salvation. 1t is true that
divine mercies have been innumer-
able, and cannot be tabulated with
anything like completeness; yet the
Christian believer is exhorted to
dwell upon these mercies in thought
and to render vivid to his mind, by
frequent reflection, so many OF the
visitations of divine favor as he can
discern providentially unfolded in
his past life.
There is. then, a duty Of thanks
giving. Praise is the expected thing.
gratitude is demanded. God is dis
appointed. and even angered, when
men receive his gifts without return
ing thanks. The Lord is gracious,
but that is no reason why the chill
dren of men should be ungraciously
thankless. Thanksgiving is a part
of the code of duty of Christian. IT
is an integral portion OF the deca-
logue Of moral action. 1t is not a
kind of extra service, or superfiuous
a activity added on IN the hOdy Of duty

Shanghai.-A brief message has been
received here by wireless from Marking
announcing the capture of the Tiger
Hill fort by the republican army and

Tiger Hill is the most important fort
outside Marking. 1t is well fortified
and contains big guns, which menaced
the approach of the rebel fleet and com.
manded the lower section of the city.

WI Ting Fang wrote to General 1t
Yuen Heng, commander of the rebel
at Wuchang, requesting that a procla

throughout the country urging that for

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. six
masked men held up westbound
Rock Island passenger train No. 43,
known as the Arkansas-O Oklahoma
express, midway between Memphis
and Hurlburt, Ark, early this morn
fired seven nitro-glycerin caps into
the local" safe of the express car,
which not only tore away the safe
doors but wrecked the car.
In the midst of their pillage they
were frightened away when a switch
engine, searching for the overdue
train approached from Hurlhurt.
The robbers boarded the train
when it slowed down near Hurlhurt,
eleven miles from Memphis Intimi-
dating the engine crew by a display
of weapons, the men forced the en-
gineer to back the train several
miles. Then the express and mail
cars were cut from the coaches and
hauled ahead short distance, where
the half completed robbery was ex-

PETITIONERS LOSE
IN THE: ROAD CASE
Supervisors Render Their Deci-
sion After Two Day Session
ENDS A LONG FIGHT
Board Decides Not to Authorize
Establishment of New Road
Leading Into FishersviIIe

After having been in session for
two days in the course of which a
large number of witnesses were ex-
amined the Board of Supervisors
late yesterday afternoon reached a
decision in the road case, which has
probably been followed with more
interest than any similar case that
has come about in this county in re-
cent years. The Board decided in
favor of the contestants in not al
lowing the petition for the establish
ment of a new highway in the Fish
erville section.
The new road was petitioned for
by J. R. Calhoun and others and
was opposed by A. H. McCue and
James R. Kemper, who claimed that
their property would suffer if the
new road were built. Other claims in
opposition were that the road would
cost more than it's establishment
would justify, for the reason that
only a comparatively few people
would be benefited.
While all in the best of spirit the
fight over the road was a hot one,
and the outcome of the hearing be-
fore the Supervisors had been await
ed with interest, not only in the
section that would be affected by the
new highway, but in other parts of
the county as well.
S. D. Timberlake, Jr., and H. H.
Blease represented the petitioners
while Messrs. Robertson and Robert
son and Co. Rudolph Bumgardner
appeared for Mr. McCue and Mr..
Kemper respectively.

BEATT|E APPEAL
within THE WEEK
Time Grows Short for Condemn
ed Richmond Wife Murderer
EXPECT SHORT STAY
Bill of Exceptions Prepared BY
the Young Mans counse! Has
Not Yet Been Presented

Richmond, Va, Nov. with the
supreme court of appeals scheduled
to open its fall term one week from
today, and with the date for the
electrocution of Henry Clay Beattie,
Jr., set for November "a, some appli-
cation to Governor Mann for execu-
tive clemency in the case of the
young murderer is daily expe cted at
the gubernatorial offices.
Under the law the superintendent
of the State prison must order Beat
tie removed from the city Jail, where
he is now held, to the State prison
not less than fifteen days before
the date set for the execution of
the condemned man. This would
fall upon Thursday, November 9.
The supreme court will open it's
next term Wednesday, November g.
One Judge Can Grant Writ.
1t is explained that any one of
the five judges of the supreme court
can grant a writ of error in the case
against the prisoner, which would re-
suit in the case being carried before
the whole court for adjudication.
1t will require action on the part
of the governor himself, however, to
grant an exception in Beatties case
with regard to allowing. him to re-
main in the city Jail after November
9, or to grant other respite, although
the supreme court could grant a
stay of Sc ntence pending it's further
inquiry into papers presented in the
appeal.
The bills of exception prepared by
counsel for Beattie have not so far
been received by the supreme court,
to which they will probably be for
warded very shortly.
1t is the belief in best informed
circles that the governor will grant
a short stay of sentence in the case
of Beattie, although upon what
grounds cannot be given out at this
time.
