THANKSGIVING.

President Wilson has issued a pro-
clamation setting forth Thursday,
November 26, as a day Of Thanks
giving and prayer. The proclama-
ton is dated at Washington. October
2S. 1914. the 139th year of Ameri-
can independence. The text of it is
as follows:
1T has long been the honored GUS
tom of our people to turn in the
fruitful autumn year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for his
many blessings and mercies to us as
a nation. The year that Is now draw
ing to close since we last observed
our day Of national thanksgiving, has
been, while a year Of discipline be-
cause of the mighty forces Of war
and of change which have disturbed
the world, also a year of special
blessing for us.
1T has been vouchsafed to us to
remain at peace, with honor, and in
some part to succor the suffering
and supply the needs of those who
are in want. We have been privil-
eyed by our own peace and self-con-
troll in some degree to steady the
counsels and shape the hopes and
purposes of a day of fear and dis
tress. Our people have looked upon
their own life as nation with a
deeper comprehension, a fuller rea-
liztion of their responsibilities. as
we'll as of their blessings, and a
keener sense of the moral and prac-
tical significance of what their part
among the nations Of the world may
come to be.
THE hurtful effects of foreign war
in their own industrial and CONNER
cial affairs have made them feel the
more fully and see the more clearly
their mutual interdependence upon
one another and has stirred them to
a helpful cooperation such as they
have seldom practiced before. They
have been quickened by great NOR
al stimulation. Their unmistakeable
ardor for peace, their earnest pity
and disinterested sympathy for those
who are suffering, their readiness to
help and to think of the needs for
others, has revealed them to them
selves as we'll as to the world.
"Our crops will feed all who need
food the self-possession of our peo-
pie amidst the most serious anXietieS
and difficulties and the steadiness and
resourcefulness of our business men
will serve other nations as well as our
own.
THE business Of the country has
been supplied with new channels Of
trade and intercourse. The Panama
canal has been opened to the COM
merce OF the nations. The two conti-
nents of America have been bound in
closer ties of friendship. New instru-
mentalities of international trade
have been created which will be
also new instrumentalities Of acquaint-
ance, intercourse and mutual SER
vice. Never before have the peo-
pie OF the United tates been so sit
uated for their own advantage or the
advantage of their neghbors. or so
equipped to serve themselves and
mankind.
Nov. therefore, |. Woodrow Will
son, president of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the 26th day of November. ne It.
as day Of thanksgiving and prayer
and invite the people throughout the
land to cease from their wonted oc-
cupations and in their several homes
and places of worship render thanks
to almighty God"

According to Washington dispatch,
the postoffice department will this year
use cotton instead of jute twine for
wrapping the mails, and bids have just
been opened for the necessary pur-
chases. The lowest bid for jute twine
was 10 cents a pound, and the lowest
bid for cotton twine was 13 cents a
pound. 1t is calculated, however, that
the cotton bid is the lowest, because
the yardage of cotton will be that much
greater. In former years cotton was
used by the postoffice department ex-
clusively; but as the result of jobbing
influences that used to be more potent
with the department than they seem
to be now, some jute operators sue
ceeded in carrying the business to their
very great profit.

en- up as rapidly as the cotton was sold.
He asked objectors if they did not think
the credit of the state was good for
the difference between and cents
a pound, and he felt sure that If no
one else would take the bonds at par,
the guano companies would do so. He
denied that there was anything revo-
lutionary or radical about the bond
proposition and insisted that whether
the acreage reduction legislation went
through or not, next years acreage
will be only so per cent of this years,
and as soon as this fact is appreciated
prices will advance. He made no hes
itation in saying that greedy specula-
tors are laying their plans to gobble
this years crop and he thought 1t
nothing but just and right for the state
to use its credit to protect the cotton
growers. He also made clear the fact
that the bonds were to be loaned only
to producers of cotton and on the cot
ton that was still in their hands.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-10-30
REASON OF THEIR VOTES
Senators Place on the Record Thei
Attitude to Bond Bill.

After the passage of the bond bill by
| the senate last night number OF
senators prepared explanations OF
their votes for the journal. Among the
explanations so recorded are the fol-
| lowing:
Senator Beamguard: II voted
against the bond bill because in my
| opinion the bill as amended in the
house is impractical and will not give
the relief needed Also for the fur
ther reason that the time intervening
between the passage Of the bill and the
date of the general election is insuffi-
cient for such a measure TO get to the
people"
Senator McLaurin: 1T is the world
old fight, the dollar against human
flesh and blood. The bond issue is a
life preserver thrown to a drowning
man Uhe farmer) and the banks and
cotton factors, like beach combers,
living upon wreckage, would snatch it
away to profit by salvage levied upon
peoples misfortune. l voted for the
bond bill because l believe that it Is a
function and duty Of a government to
do that for the people which they are
unable to do for themselves.
These bonds will be sold, they will
be used as a collateral to a note for a
debt incurred in making the present
crop. This note with the bond which
has been received in exchange for a
warehouse receipt will be discounted
by the Federal reserve bank at its face
value.
Il think from the letters have been
receiving that other states are watch
ing to see what South Carolina is do
ing and that similar action will be
taken. The Georgia and North Caro-
lima farmers will never stand seeing
our people just across the line receiV-
ing cents and they only getting fiye,
Ii this action is taken, general credits
will be unlocked, payment OF debts
contracted for making the crop will
begin and an upward movement in
cotton Is sure to come. The farmers
will pay the expense Of this issue. Ten
per cent is taken out when the loan Is
made to meet expenses, and as the cot
ton is sold the bonds are automatical-
ly retired with the proceeds Of the
sale. The government issues money di-
rect to banks and permits them to
charge high rates Of interest. Why is
it looked upon as revolutionary for the
government to lend its credit in this
crucial time to the producers Of all
wealth.?
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-10-30

There is more or less apprehension
on the part of some of the farmers
that if everybody sows grain, the mar
ket next year will be about like the
cotton market is now. AS far as 1t is
possible to judge of the future, we
would say that there is no need for
such apprehension. 1t was all that
Europe could do in time Of peace to
produce enough grain for her needs
and as the war not only stops produc-
ton, but more than doubles the con-
sumption, the demand will be some
thing enormous. AS matter of fact
the foreign demand for northwestern
grain has already given promise of be-
ing more than sufficient to discount the
part that cotton has been playing in
trade balances. Most Of the extra eX-
ports of wheat represent what we OF
this section have been buying from
the northwest and that can mean
nothing less than an advance in the
prices that our own farmers will have
to pay. The more grain the farmers
raise the less they will have TO buy,
and it is reasonable to assume that in
view of European consumption and
European destruction, there will be a
market for all the supplies that this
country will have to offer

- Columbia State, Thursday: Mes
sage No. 13 Of the extraordinary ses'
sion was received in the senate yester'
day from the governor. This was ir
the main an argument against the pro-
posed bond issue. based on TECHNICAL
ties Of the constitution. The first ar
gument was that the author OF the
bond issue project, Senator Alan John
stone of Newberry, was not legally q
member of the senate, in that he was
a trustee and chairman Of the board
of trustees Of Clemson college. Anoth-
er was that all bills providing revenue
should originate in the house. The
third section questioned the legality OF
the senate's action in continuing as
members Of the sinking fund commits
sion the chairman OF the ways and
ways and means committee and the
chairman of the finance committee In
the senate until their successors had
been chosen. In conclusion the chief
