Down on Bucket shops.
f
Surveyor Belk Thinks that
they Should be either Legislated
or Licensed out of
Business.
4? Mr. Kditor: 1 would like to
see our people rise in their might
against the bucket shops and
wire houses, like our neighbors
oyer in Georgia, and put them
out of business.
I believe it was Ilenry Ward
Beeclier that said, gambling and
intemperance were the two
greatest evils of our land.
I believe today more of our
people lose their senses, their |
moneys, their lands and their
homes by dealing in bucket
shops than in any other way, un
* less it is by drunkenness.
From what one of the bankers
tells me, our Lancaster people
must have lost something like
fifty thousand dollars last season i
in the business.
Judge Gillespie in a charge to
the grand.jury at Houston, Tex.,
included the bucket shops as
joints, and therefore indictable.
Harvie Jordan, of The Cotton
Journal, closes a piece this way:
"What, then, is the the fair inference?
That the whole game is
a cold blooded swindle. My con- ,
elusion in that what is needed is
io setm 10 congress men who
hav? sense enough, decency
enough, patriotism enough, and
honesty enough to take by the 1
throat the rotten garablin' den
known as the Nesv York Cotton
Exchange and wipe it oil' the
face oi the earth, and as its so
called business is interstate, it
can be cleaned out by the Federal
Congress.''
1 hope our State will follow I
the example of Georgia, and all
of our representatives will do all
they can to bring about these '
results. And coming to our own 1
town, 1 hope the council will 1
take the matter up belore the
i
beginning of another year and
either put out the bucket shops ,
entirely, or put the license up to
not less than ten to fifteen thous- (
and dollars. It seems that it our ,
council is willing for this whole- L
sale business to continue right
here in our midst, that it ought j
to put a license high enough to <
get back a fourth of the probable
losses. They must admit that it
has hurt and is still hurling our
town and beginning to hurt the
county, besides being an evil in |
iiselt.
I like the stand tin* plucky (
little Mayor of Rock Hill. Mr. 1
Roddey, has taken, that it we 1
don't punish tlie bucket shot/ 1
dealers, why punish any form ot
gambling. And if it is wrong to
deal in cotton lutures, it is 1
wrong tor a council to grant a
company license to do wrong.
Why not put down (lie bucket
shops, and buy actual cotton, 1
thus helping the market?

Thanksgiving Day.
President Roosevelt Issues I
Proclamation Naming[Nov. I
29, as Day of Thanksgiv- I
ing S
Washington, Oct.25.?The President
today issued a proclamation
naming Thursday, November 20
th, as a day of Thanksgiving.
The text of the proclamation
is as follows:
"The time of year has come
when, in accordance with the
wise custom of our forefathers, it
becomes my duty to set aside a
special day of thanksgiving and
praise to the Almighty because
of the Nestings we have received,
and of prayer that those blessings
may be continued. Yet another
year of widespread well being
has past. Never before in our M
history or in the history of any J'
other nation has a people enjoyed |
more abounding material prop- h
perity than is ours; a prosperity {
so great that it should arouse in $
us no spirit of reckless pride, and 7
least of all a spirit of heedless P
disregard of our responsibilities;
but rather a sober sense of many r?
blessings and resolute purpose, Cj
under Providence, not to forfeit %
them by any action of our own. ^
"Material well being, indispensible
though it is, can never 9
be anything but the foundation
of true national greatness and
happiness. If we build nothing
upon this foundation, then our ;
national life will be as meaning- $
less and empty as a house where i $
only the foundation has been |
laid. Upon our material well be- |
ing must be built a superstruc- 3
hire of individual and national S
life lived in accordance with the 5
|Q Ti'Q nf tKo bi/vh--4
.~..0 V,. mo in^iiehi morality, or 3
else our prosperity itselt will H
in the long run turn out a curse 1
instead of a blessing. We should 3
be reverently thankful for what S
we have received, and earnestly ^
bent upon turning it into a means |
of grace and not of destruction. ^
^'Accordingly, I hereby set ??
apart Thursday, the 2!*th day of ?
November next as a day of *
thanksgiving and supplication on g
which the people shall meet 1
in their homes or their |
churches, devoutly acknowl |
iege all that has been given them, ?
and pray that they may in ad- l*
dition receive the power to use
these gifts aright. g.

A delegation of representa- ec^
tive colored men, consisting of

The store at the top has many advantages over
the store at the bottom. A store that has
climbed the ladder of success has these advantages
over the one that is only climbing.
First, they have the pick of the market. The
best makers of clothes want their goods in
the stores of the best sellers of clothes. Second,
price. The store at the top has good
''credit," because it can buy for cash. Did you
ever borrow money? You know what interest
is then. You don't have to pay a higher price !

we buy for cash, paying no interest, but getting
