PROCLAMATION ISSUED
FOR THANKSGIVING DAY

President Sets Apart November 80 as
Day Of Praise For Blessings of Peace
and Unbroken Prosperity.
| shington.-President Wilson has
formally by proclamation designed
Thursday, November 80, as Thanks
giving Day.
Here follows the Presidents proco-
! lamation:
at has long been the custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful Autumn
of the year in praise and thanksgiv-
] ing to Almighty God for His many
| blessings and mercies to us and the
| Nation.
"The year that has elapsed since
we last observed our day of thanks
giving has been rich in blessings to
us as a people, but the whole face
of the world has been darkened by
war. In the midst of our peace and
happiness, our thoughts dwelt with
painful disquiet upon the struggles
and sufferings Of the Nations at war
and of the peoples upon whom war
has brought disaster without choice
or possibility of escape on their part
We cannot think of our own happi-
ness without thinking of their pitiful
distress.
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States
of America, do appoint Thursday, the
3Oth of November, as a day of Ma
tional thanksgiving and prayer, and
urge and advise the people to resort
of
that day to render thanks to Almighty
God for the blessings Of peace and
unbroken prosperity which He has
bestowed upon our beloved country
in such unstinted measure.
"And / also urge and suggest our
duty, in this our day of peace and
abundance, to think in deep SYM
pathy of +he stricken peoples of the
world upon whom the curse and ter
ror of war has so pitilessly fallen, and
means to the releaf of their suffer
ings.
"Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude towards the
present struggle Of the Nations than
by contributing out of their abun-
dance to the relief of the suffering
which war has brought in it's train.
Gin witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the City of Washington,
this 18th day of November in the
year of Our Lork, 1916, and of the
independence of the United States,
the 151st.
WOODROW WILSON,
"By the President, Robert Lansing,
Secretary of State"

SECOND INAUGURATION
OF WILSON SIMPLE.

Washington. - President Wilson's
second Inauguration probably will be a
comparatively sumple affair. He is
known to desire that there should be
little ceremony. It is accepted as GER
tain by officials that there will be no
inaugural ball in spite of the hope of
Washington citizens for such an event
The recent death of the Presidents
sister, Mrs. Anne Howe, the fact that
March falls on Sunday next year,
are reasons for simplicity.

PHOSPHATE ROCK DECREASE.
LESS PRODUCED IN UNITED
STATES IN 1913,
Amount Produced in South Carolina
for Last Year Under That for 1914.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The United
States geological survey today made
public operations in the phosphate
industry during the year 1915 in the
United States.
Phosphate rock marketed in the
United States in 1915 amounted to
1,S35,667 long tons valued at $5,41S,-
449. Compared with the production
in 1914, which was 2,734,043 long
tons, valued at $9,6OS,O41, this was a
decrease Of S93,376 long tons, or
nearly 33 per cent. and in value $4,-
1882, or nearly A per cent.
The production of phosphate rock
in South Carolina in 1915 was S3,460
long tons, valued at $31O,S50. This
was a decrease of 23,459 tons, or 22
per cent. in quantity, and of $104,-
1S9, or % per cent in value, COM
pared with the output of 1914. Only
land rock was mined and marketed,
no river rock having been produced
for several years. The output of the
State in 1915 constituted As per cent
of that of the entire country.
With the beginning of the war in
Europe shipments of rock almost en-.
tirely stopped and the great demand
for sulphuric acid in 1916 is another
reason the industry has shown a de-
crease.
