A Proclamation by The Governor.

After the harvest is the day OF
THANKSGIVING. Toll has been re-
warded in manifold abundance; the
nation trlumphs in progress and
power. An altruistic awakening
has quichened the conscience Of our
time; it has commanded the men IN
high places to noble conceptions OF
public duty, and inspired the peo-
pie with the hope and determlna-
ton for advancement.
Therefore, l. Locke Craig, Gov
ernor of the State of North Caro-
lima, in obedience to the custom es-
tablished by our fathers, and in ac-
cordance with the Proclamation OF
the President of the United States,
do proclaim Thursday, the twenty
seventh day of November, a holiday.
| call upon all the people to do no
work upon this day; to make this
day of rest and rejoicing, and, in
reality, day Of Thanksgiving.
I earnestly hope that the day will
be fully observed by the farmers,
merchants, mechanics, manufactur-
ers and by the men, women and
children in all ranks and occupa-
tions.
call upon the people to assemble
| in their places of worship that they
may in reverence express to the AL
mighty their gratitude and faith;
that human sympathies may be en-
larged and the bonds of brother
hood acknowledged and strength
ened.
Let us remember the poor and the
unfortunate and realize that it is
more blessed to give than to receive.
We are the heirs of a precious
heritage, and let US hope and strive
that in this commonwealth righte-
business may be exalted, and that to
all men who come a full measure OF
justice, which is grander than be-
nevolence, more august than char
ity."
Done in the City of Raleigh, or
the twelfth day of November, ir
the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and thirteen, and ir
the one hundred and thirty-eighth
year of our American Independence

Governor.
