For what are you thankful? Remember the orphans and send them an offering Thursday. Lackawanna railroad trains are to be equipped with wireless telegraphy. The News wishes the White House bride a loug life of unalloyed happiness. Democratic turkey is the kind of bird that will be eaten in the White House thl3 Thanksgiving. Chickens are at a premium in Rock Hill this week on account of the annual Methodist conference now in session there. The Abbeville Medium says: "The mnn wlm hasn't a nvthln cr to ha thankful for should stay away from Thanksgiving services?but none other." The increase in value of the output of shoes and stockings is best explained by the fact that a large number of North Carolinians have recently begun to wear them. The last useless custom in Washington to be done away with by President Woodrow Wilson is the annual New Year reception. The President has announced that it will not take place. The number of convicts pardoned and paroled by Governor Blease as a thank offering to South Carolina reminds us of the old Sunday school hymn, "There were ninety and nine that safely lay in the shelter of the fold." The Henderson Gold Leaf says that "the community spirit in any town should always be sufficient to leaven the whole selfish lump." Is it sufficient in Lancaster? If not let's develop more of this spirit, for we can't progress without it. We publish in this issue a full synopsis of the speeches made at the recent County Conference for the Common Good and urge upon all of our readers who were not so fortunate as to be present at the conference to read them. We are now in the midst of moving I our entire outfit to our new quarters on the first floor in the GregoryHood block on the north side of Church street, between Main and Catawba, and if the paper is not up to its standard this issue, our readers will readily understand why. Among the !>! pardons to be granted by Governor Bleaso on : Thanksgiving Day, 28 are serving life term sentences for murder and 28 for manslaughter, and this in the teoth of the fact which is conceded on all hands, that human life is about the cheapest thing in South Carolina. "Some entrprising newspaper might,get a description of Mr. Sayre's " troilsseau," says The Anderson Mail. But we hardly think it would make very interesting reading, for Mr. Sayro is only the groom, even if he is getting married at the White r House. Governor O'Neal of Alabama still persist!* in his own construction of the constitution of the United States In reference to appointing to a vacancy in the United States senate. He first appointed Representative Clayton to Senator Johnson's seat. The senate would not accept the governor's appointment, so Clayton withdrew. Now the governor has appointed Frank K. Glass, a newspaper man, for the position. We predict Olnss, too, will be broken. m-' . ..... THE LET US HE THANKFUL. With Thanksgiving Hay so near it is meet that we consider the signili- b cance of the celebration and spend it c v after the manner for which it was n set apart. It is and should be a day c of family gatherings, a time when A loved ones from afar come back to K the old home to renew the associa- a tions of childhood. To many it means a well-earned holiday, merely C a rest from the everyday grind. Some look forward to it as a day to be spent in hunting and other sports. A long ramble in the fields and woods will bring happiness to many who a have grown weary of their little ( ivnrlil will.it. <ln..ru Thnn 11,...... ...v,.. w...* C..V s many to whom the day is just like other days, full of work and worry, for there is some unfinished task to j, be completed and perhaps the work- p er's burden cannot be laid down. It s must go on from day to day, cannot u be neglected or put off. r. Hut 110 matter what the work we have been doing and regardless of our u plans to celebrate the day, surely C( there must come to all of us at this season, a feeling of gratitude to the Grent Giver of all good gifts for the vv many blessings lie has bestowed upon C( us. We should stop long enough on a< Thanksgiving Day to consider how ^ fortunate we are who are living in this peaceful land of plenty, how blest we Southerners are in our mild p, climate, how more than blest in our productive soil. For there are other rj blessings, which every thinking mind t| and loyal heart must acknowledge, let us return thanks. Those who find it convenient to do so can worship God in Ilis churches that day, but whether in church or at home, c, the same spirit should animate us st as we take stock of the numberless n' blessings that have been showered "j1 upon us. ls Then those whose worldly affairs st have prospered well, should be mind- m ful of others about them who are less ^ fortunate, the poor, the aged, the lonely, the little children who are cf fatherless and motherless. Give them of your abundance and visit them with words of courage and good cheer. May we all spend Thursday Cll as it should be spent. May we all be truly thankful. ' i" $ We are as thankful for Woodrow Ki gt Wilson as for any of our other blessings. la We hope those striking Converse st College girls have been given their 1)' tli desserts n?:iin Keep in mind the election and he x sure to vote for the right men for I mayor and aldermen. After today Mr. Frances B. Sayre will he better known as the husband of the President's daughter. lluerta is as stubborn as a Texas prairie pony. But, nevertheless, he oc will be roped in in due time. I P' r Think of Mexico and he thankful you are here instead of there, you old sj grouch, who can find no other cause of for rejoicing. | Hil Here's hoping that each of our :u m readers will spend a happy Thanks- )v giving Day, that they will have din- n< ner in abundance and no dull cares bl to annoy. er We cannot sincerely thank (lod for his great mercies to us and at the | same l>me withhold from the poor 01 and unfortunate those things which would make the day brighter and ,,, happier.
