Governor Mcsweeney has issued tho following Thanksgiving proclamation: 1 It is an old and honored custom by which the chief magistrate of the State sets apart one day os a day of thanks givin and praise to tho Source of all lifo for His manifold blessing and fos tering care. When in tho enjoyment of health and happiness and prosperity we are prone to forget the sustaining hand through which these blessings come. Asa people who have had ocr trials and hardships, our days of adversity and of bitter strife, and through them all we have triumphed because of our trust iu und reliance on an AU Wise Providence. During the past year we have enjoy ed peace and prosperity. The labor of tue husbandmen has been awarded by abundant harvests and all business has prospered. We have been spared pestilence and plague, drought and Mood. In this day of prosperity we should not forget the source of pros perity whence it comes. We should as a people render thanks to Ged for the blessings which wo enjoy and in the midst of material prosperity strive for moral and spiritual uplifting, for it is not in material progress and prosperity that a people can claim to be truly great, or hope to obtain lasting happi ness. The greatness of a people rests in the character of the individual citi zen, and this character is built upon deeds which glorifly God and help lift up and bless our fellow-men. In no way can we better show our apprecia tion of the kindness and the forbear ance of our Heavenly Frther than by 1 doing our duty to Him, to ourselves, ! and to our fellow man. Now, therefore, I, M. B. Mcsweeney, {rovernor of the State of South Caro ma, do set apart Thursday, the 27th ? day of the present month, os a day of general thanksgiving1; and do recom mend that public offices be closed and that the people cease from their ordi nary vocations and in their homes and several places of worship render thanks to God for the blessings which they have enjoyed during the paBt year, and on this occasion they remember the poor and the sorrowing by their gifts i and their prayers of sympathy, i M. H. McSweeney. Most-?or-.ttie-Money-Clotties !
