THANKS6IVING DAY. , The spectacle of a great nation giving thanks to the Ruler of the j universe will be witnessed tomorrow. In many thousands ol churches throughout the United States will appropriate services be held, aud in very many more thousands of homes will the day be observed with devotional and other suitable exercises. From ocean to oc:an and from the gulf to the lakes will practically all labor be suspended, the hum ol machinery and the blowing ot myriads of whistles will be stop # ped, larm labor will cease and all places of business be closed, in order to allow the laborers in every field of human endeavor to unite in giving thanks to Him from whom the manifold blessings of the year have been re. ceived. God has been singularly kind to His people in these United States in this year ot grace. No I great calamity has befallen us, no general plague or pestilence \isited upon us, no nahoual sorrow inflicted ' upon this people. On the contrary good health and general prosperity have been our portion. The labors of the bus bondman have been abundantly rewarded, all industrial enter prises have prospered as never before, and the spiritual and edu national interests of the country were never in more satisfactory condition than now. Yes indeed, we have much, very much to be thankful for?I lar more, probably, than we tie- J serve. It is eminently right and proper, therefore, that we should i turn aside Irorn the busy activities < ot our daily lives at least long 1 enough to give expression to the thanks due by us to Ilim to ( wliom we are indebted lor the i generous blessings vouchsafed to < us. 1 Hut giving thanks is not all. | We, too, should show a generous 1 spirit. We should in a substan i tial way remember the poor, the * unfortunate, the sick and thclj distressed, the fatherless and t motherless children. By con- ( tributing to their relief and com- f ort. we not only discharge a duly we owe to humanity, but we at the same time do that which is v * i / specially pleasing in His sight. 'Inasmuch as>ou have done it into one of the least of these pe have done it unto me " Oi all the national holidays probably that of Thanksgiving lay is the most thoroughly enjoyable andsatisfactory. The oppor tunity it affordsfor a complete relaxation of mail's energies ot itself counts for much?an op portunity not usually presented by any other holiday. The Christ mas festivities, while intensely pleasurable, are invariably followed by a reaction which leaves one with but little energy and treshnoss lor starting into the new year. Tbe noisy demon stratious iucideut to a Fourth ot .1 111 V Pi^lphrut inn urn unvt Innir "-V vv.vw.??.w.. W..JVU.U m but pleasant to the settled, matured mind. No other holidays are so generally observed as are these three. So that the vast majority ot the people naturally turn to Thanksgiving day for the realization of the greatest amount ot genuine contentment, happiness and pleasure?all of which we trust are in store for the readers ol The News tomorrow. MR. JORDAN AND THE RECENT COTTON POOL. President Jordan, of the Southern Cotton A Msnriatinn lias lost no time in declaring most emphatically the report absolutely fahe that he was a participant in the recent cotton pool which is said tq have netted its members profits amounting to several millions. The report was not believed, anyway, by the members of the cotton association and its numerous friends, but it was en- [ tirely proper for Mr. Jordan to give it the lie. The people have every confidence in HarVie Jordan, for he has abundantly proven his loyaitv to their in terests, and they realize the factliat he is entitled to more credit for the wonderful achievements of the Cotton Association than any other man in the South. His denial referred to is as follows : "The sensational rumor pub lished in some of the leading papers of tlie south to the effect that 1 had personally shared in the recent speculative deal in cotton futures is absolutely false and without foundation. The article was sent out from New York and published only in those papers which have heretofore said but little in favor of the Southern Cotton Associa tion. 1 have not made one dol lar in speculation in any way, shape or form, nor have 1 been connected with any speculatiys deals in cotton. My work hae been confined entirely to the spot situation and the present effort to identify m? or my ofh cial influence with speculation is done in the interest of those trying to depress the price of cotton, to injure the Southern L'otton Association, and to lis* courage spot holders in the 3outh from joining in the present movement to hold cotton for better prices. The position L: -i- * i- - ? * wnn ii me association nas taKen ecently with reference to spot jotton is based upon undeniable acts and can not be refuted by bearish manipulators of con -ract paper and the publication )f spurious articles intentionally alsified for selfish purposes."
