due honor, and in congregation as
sembled, with bowed heads attempt
to give thanks for goodness bestow-
ed. But that bars not the man out
side the church to stroll out in the
crisp November air, through the
fields and in the wood, those first
temples, and to there commune and
reverently thank his God-and too
|-reconsecrate himself for better
service to State and man. He may
have flung convention and sham to
the winds, if he "has clasped max
ed truth to his heart" and dared
to express it, Thanksgiving day is
his day, too.
Thanksgiving cannot be brought
about by President or Govern
or 1t is in it's true sense, not a
Proclamation, it is a condition of
the heart. 1t is not a day, it is an
attitude of the mind. And days of
peace and plenty, harmony and
prosperity, are not conducive to
contrition. We are rather inclined
ir times such as these and we are
h.slpy and prosperous, a few news
editors to the contrary-to congrat-
ulate ourselves rather than be
thankful to Nature. It is in time
Of stress, "times that try men s
SOULS" that we as men and ma
ton look to a Higher Source.
AS this day approaches, no peo-
pie have greater cause for a Ma
tional Thanksgiving than America.
Great in her natural and artificial
wealth, glorious in her achieve
ments and manhood, magnificent in
her past, facing the greatest prob
lens of all time, we have good
cause, and just, to give thanks.
AS Nation, as State, and as men,
let us give recognition for the past,
honor for the present and most of
all-thank God for the problems of
tomorrow-and may we face them
with manhood-strong and true, in
the. spirit Of the one who wrote our
first Thanksgiving Proclamation.

untold damage to property aud
cost twenty lives, WAS again Wis
tied at an early hour last Thurs
day morning by the hurricane.
Sweeping up from the direction
OF the Decaturs, one storm fol-
lowed the general direction
through Middle Tennessee, as its
predecessor, conceutratng is
fury on the historic little city Of
Murfreesharo, where half mil
lion dollars of damage was done.
From Murfreesboro the storn
travelled north Of est, striking
tie towns Of Alexandra and
L berry in DeKalb, and possibly
Others. South Of Northeastern
a most the same section Of Msutv
County was visited. Marsha |
County was e severe sufferer,
three lives being lost.
SO far as known, Trenton was
tie greatest sufferer in thet Sec
tion, the business portion of the
to wn beng damaged TO the ex-
t. ut of SIS, 000or $4,000. There
was some damage in Jackson,
also, aad the roar Of the gale
there badly frightened the in
habitants.
Bet ween Murfreesboro and
Nashville, all told, seven miles Of
telegraph wires we're reported on
the ground. Murfreeahoro sus.

The storm, which ragged with
savage intensity, came from .
southwesterlR direction aud en-
tered the town OF Murfreesboro
between the passenger and
freigt depots and passed diagou-
ally through the city in north
easterly direction. The public
square was wrecked with the ex-
c. ption of the south and east
sides.
Some Of the stores were RACED
to the ground and the stocks Of
goods ruined by the falling
bricks aad timbers and the heavy
rainfall. The Fair Grounds were
destroyed and many residences
also in that portion of the city,
or, rather, suburb. The Presby-
terian Church was wholly de-
molished, being a total loss.
One class of property feeling
the heavy hand of the storm was
churches. The following list will

THINK OF COTTON AND KEEP

Secretary Daniels Declares Warm

Boosts Exports.

Washington, July 4.-Think of

forget the warm weather. That is the

Washington and to the people Of the
country 1t is a prescription which
he declares he has found to be an in
fallible remedy as far as he is con-
cerned.
do you realize?" he demanded to-
day when some one deplored the
weather in his presence, that this is
the finest possible weather for raising
cotton? Don't you know that on
days and nights like we have been
having you can almost see the cotton
growing? And do you realize that it
is the cotton export crop of this coun-
try that keeps the balance Of trade in
favor of America?
Think of it, during the first eleven
months Of the fiscal year about end
ing, $535, $685. 900 of the total exports
Of $2,3O2, 100000 of exports represent
ed cotton. Subtract the cotton figure
from the total exports, and the re-
mainder is about SLIGO, 900, 900.
Compare this result with the total inn
ports Of approximately $3.50, 900, GOO,
and you can see what an important
part cotton plays in preserving the
balance of trade, and bringing more
money to this country than we pay
out. Think of this and keep cool

1t is said that bad blood had been
existing between the two for some
time. and that about week ago, Mr..

requested by some of the citizens to
leave the community, on account OF
some acts alleged to have been COM
mitted by Mr.. Barnhill, but he re-
fused to leave. Yesterday afternoon,
1t Is said, Mr. Mears walked up to
Mr.. Barnhill and placing his hands
on his shoulder, said something to
him, which words are not known,
whereupon Mr.. Barnhill drew ,,is pis-
tol and shot Mr.. Mears in the left
side, the ball passing through his body
Just below his bottom rib and coming
out at his right side. Immediately
Mr.. Mears drew his pistol and shot
at Mr. Barnhill three times, but miss
ed him each shot.
Immediately afterwards doctors
We're summoned and they rushed Mr.
Mears on the first train to q hospital
In Savannah, Ga, in hopes of saving
his life, but he died today. Mr.. Mears
was a man about 81 years Of age,
and considered one of the best men
in Jasper county.
Mr.. Barnhill at arst resisted arrest,
but finally surrendered to Magistrate
Boyles OF Tillman.. who turned him
over to Sheriff Porter Of Jasper coun-
ty, who brought him to the county
jail at Ridgeland, where he is being
held.
