WILL SPEND DAY
IN THANKSGIVING
President Wilson Issues Annual Pro-
clamation-Cause For Thanks
giving is Abundant.

Washington, Nov. 13.-President
Wilson issued his Thanksgiving
proclamation tonight saying that "in
plenty, security and peace, our vir-
tuous and self lf-reliant people face
the future and setting aside Thurs
day, November 25, for the usual OBJ
servances. The text follows:
"The season approaches when it
behooves US to turn from the dlstrac-
tions and preoccupations of our daily
life, that we may contemplate the
mercies which have been vouchsafed
to US and render heartfelt and un-
feigned thanks unto God for His
manifold goodness. :,
"This is an old observance Of the
American people, deeply imbedded in
our thought and habit. The burdens
and Che stresses of life have their
own insistence.
ttWe have abundant cause for
thanksgiving. The lessons of the war
are rapidly healing. The great army
of freedom, which America sent to
the defense of liberty, returning to
the grateful embrace of the nation,
has resumed the useful pursuits OF
peace, as simply and as promptly
as it rushed to arms. The equal justice
of our laws has received steady vim
dication in the support of a law
abiding people against various and
sinister attacks, which have reflect
ed only the baser agitations of war,
now happily passing.
'.In plenty, security and peace, our
virtuous and self reliant people face
the future, it's duties and its oppo-
nents. May we have vision to dis
,eern our duties, the strength, both
. of hand and resolve, to discharge and
the soundness of heart to realize that
the truest opportunities are those of
service.
''In spirit then of devotion' and
stewardship we should give thanks
: in our hearts, and dedicate ourselves
to the service of Gods merciful and
loving purposes to His children.
"Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
president of>the United States Of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the 25th day of November next
as a day of Thanksgiving and pray
er, and call upon my countrymen
to cease from their ordinary tasks
and avocations upon that day, giving
it up to the remembrance of God
and his blessings, and their dutiful
and grateful acknowledgement"

The new book is the fourth in a Sc
ries depicting the religious life of
the Sumerians, a mysterious race, the
origin of which is unknown, which
was finally swallowed up by the later
Semetics, According to one of the
Hood series in the collection, Noah ate
the forbidden fruit after he had beer

This salvation was accomplished
according to the Sumerian version, by
woman deity. There is no mention
of any Eve in the story. Clay tablets
from which this and other stories are
taken are said to be at one thousand
years older than Babylonian tablets.

BRYAN TO RIDE
SURPRISE issue
May Advocate Single
Moral Standard For
Both Sexes

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-William
Jennings Bryan, father Of numerous
campaign issues, Is about to spring
a brand new one on the unsuspect-
ing public.
According to friends with whom he
discussed the subject, he VIII adyo-
cate the principle Of a single moral
standard for men and women. bryan,
here to attend a banquet given in his
honor and incidentally deliver a
speech or two, declined to discuss the
reported issue he IS concoctIug, but
did admit that he is now editing some
matter that he VIII shortly broad
cast throughout the country"
For months, those familiar with
Bryan's thoughts and purposes, de-
clare the Commoner has had two cen
tral ideas about the forthcoming presi
idential campaign. The first convic-
ton was that there must be an issue
developed. The second was that the
issue developed must be one to appeal
to the women of the country, who,
he believes, VIII be a powerful factor
in the next election. And has he not
found it in the single moral standard?
There must be a man, unquestion-
ably dry" as Bryan sees it, and
with a live, 1920 model issue. A
year ago he thought government own
ership of the railroads would be big
issue of 1920. He still believes in
the idea, but is said to have admitted
it cannot be made great popular
bone of contention this year. Both
parties are for some satisfactory So
luton of the difficulties between capt.
tai and labor, hence that will not be
an issue. Prohibition and suffrage, as
issues, he believes, are disposed of.
Hence the assurance that he will
trot out something new and interest
ing for the public to look over before
long. And it may be said that poll
ticians generally await the trial heat
of the new entry with considerable
eagerness.

INSISTS SHE is
MISSING HEIRESS.

ATLANTA, Jan. 22.-Later devel-
opments practically have blasted the
assumption of the police that the girl
held here is Jeanne Anna DeKav. the
missing protege of Jane Adams. of
Hull House, Chicago. The woman.
however, in her latest interview is
quoted as insisting that she is the De-
Kay girl.
The girl fits press descriptions of
Miss DeKay except that her hair is
bobbed and the word "Helen" is tat
tooed on her arm. Under quizzing
police said she first declared she
knew" Miss DeKay, then said she
was Miss DeKay and then denied it.
The young woman was arrested
Monday because she was wearing
mems clothing on the streets, but she
asserted she was an aviatrix and shat
she merely happened to come out IN
her uniform. She said that she vas
on her way from Columbus, o., to
Pensacola, Fla, to which point her
machine had been shipped. She show
ed such knowledge of air planes that
Police Chief Beavers freed her.
Tuesday she was arrested again end
blanket charge of "disorderly con-
duct was docketed against her as the
result of appearing in the lobby of
downtown hotel in mans attire.
Dispatches from Chicago carried
the news that the girl, a wealthy
French inmate of Miss Jane Adams
Hull House in Chicago, suddenly dis
appeared December %. The dis
patches limited that she was either
seeking to carve out career for her
self or to escape from the world be-
cause of facial blemisnes caused by a
disease. Her father, it was stated,
was John Wesley DeKay, living in
Lucerne, Switzerland, and her broth
er, John DeKay, Jr., of Chicago, and
an uncle, living in Ashbura, Va.
For several weeks John DeKay
searched North and South for his SIS
ter. Last Friday he returned to Chi
cago and announced that he had
abandoned his search.

Fewer Virtues For
Ideal Young Woman

CLEVELAND, Jan. 22.-The
ideal" girl must not necessarily
rank honesty or have religion among
her chief virtues. Neither must she
possess as many of them as the
ideal young man.
This was CLEANED by the Rev. DR..
H. Samuel Fritsch of the Hough
Avenue Congregational church, who
asked several hundred church goers
to summarize the virtues of the
young man and woman. A week ago
the symposium named a list of 179
virtues for young men, with honesty
and religion leading.
A symposium on the ideal" young
woman disclosed only sixty virtues
and with honesty and religion far
from the top of the list. The list is
led by "genuineness, virtue, feminini-
ty, graciousness, good morals and no
cosmetics"
Housekeeping" was emphasized as
a virtue, while ranking high in the
category was one calling for dresses
to begin ''three inches below the
neck and end only at the shoetops."
liability to eat her own cooking"
also ranked high.

SUMTER NEAR
$1,000 BALES
Ginnings To Jan. l, 49,
789 Bales, Report

What amounts to practically the
final figures on Sumter county's 1919
cotton crop were made public today
by VIM. ?. Persons, government cen
sus taker for this county, in his re-
port of ginnings to January l. AL
though other ginning reports will fol
low, there will be very little to add to
the figures he has submitted to Wash
ington. These show that Sumter's
crop ginned to the beginning of the
new year totalled 1879 bales,
counting round as half bales, against
26,116 bales on the same date last
year.
1t is not expected that enough
more cotton will be ginning to bring
the total quite to 10000 bales. The
total already ginned, however, is
larger by 5000 bales than many citi-
zens had expected.
