C., tn? second class matter. OCTOBER 31, 1907, Thanksgiving Day. The last Thursday in November is the day set apart by this treat country of ours for "Thanksgiving Day," a day wherein every man, woman and child should bow their heads in prayer to our Maker for the multitude of blessings which He has seen fit to bestow upon us, each and every one of us, though wicked and sinful we might have been all of our lives. He has been good to the sinner as well as to the saint, he has caused the rain to fall upon the unjust as well as the just, and yet how far >ve fajl short of our duty to our Maker. A great many people, certainly misconstrue the object 1 and purposes of Thanksgiving day. There are some who with gun and dog take to the fields to shoot the innocent and unsuspecting quail or dove; many others, for any kind of sport, fun or frolic, amusements of any nature, anything but the real 1 purpose for which this day was j intended. Some few have a j different view and these will re- j main at home and talk, and dis- i cuss fhejr neighbors, their faults 1 and habits, not for a moment do i they speak of the good traits of these iriends and neighbors, but gossiping and tattleing seem to be the ruling enjoyment of the | day. Then there is a class, who : well know the object and pur- j pose of Thanksgiving day and this class though small, yes, very small, will respect this good day j and spend it as the day should be. A few of these good people will meet in their holy sanctuary .and there lift up their voices in , prayer to their Master for the many blessings and comforts j .showered upon them and theirs. | This class of people are few and far between, yet the good Lord : will hear and answer these prayers. Mv dear vounz men. stop and reflect e'er you desecrate this great and good day. .Celebrate it as it should be and us it was intended to be, a day of prayer and thanksgiving to .our good Master for his goodness and kindness to us through all our lives. As the day rolls .around we oft times reflect, when we see the youth of the country 1 preparing for wicked and sinful .sport that he intends to partici-: _pate in, how greatly the meaning ."of this good day is misconstrued, j Turn over a new leaf, young man, I in life's history and vow to do so j no more, but instead assemble with those who do know and who will always be found doing the ! right thing at your church, and ' m humble submission to His will, offer up your good Master a prayer for his blessings. Do not desecrate this good day in the wicked and sinful way that you have been doing in the past, hold this Thanksgiving as a holy day. We are glad to see so many of our citizens having their homes | 1 ainted. There is nothing that so improves the appearance of a house as a fresh coat of paint occasionally. Now, if the peo- j pie would contract the paling "fever," and neatly fence in 1 tneir premises the improvements would be much more marked. It is not believed that the coun?cil next year will levy more than 5 mills for ordinary purposes. This will be an increase of one .and one-half times the present levy and it seems that the town .could get along very well on that income. TJje town taxes in some cases are a little higher than last ye: r and there are many kicks coming. The kickers are making a ; mistake. Wait until next year when the probability is that the levy will be doubled, if not, thribbled. ?No, "Nelliebel'e," we didn't have you in mind when we wrote tfte article about the "snubber." rtut it :s well enough to remem1 il-i ? * * - >er mat wnen you nit a duck and the feathers fly, there's something doing. State Superintendent of Education Martin is quoted as saying that he is opposed to compulsory education. This we take as conclusive that he is unlit for the position he holds. There is littie danger of a n -wspaper editor being robbed ? or faked at the fair, for should h pickpocket "touch" an edi'.or the former would be the loser. It is qot amiss to again call the attention of the hunters to the fa-jt that the game season does I ff We hope that we will not be! ? accused of boasting when we say ? that The Times' subscription list i is larger at present than it has 1 been since the paper has been i under its present management, 1 and is increasing daily. This is r due in part to the increased pros- j perity of our people, partly to 1 the progress mad*1 in education i (for every boy and girl who can i read wants to read his home pa- t per) and partly, we hope, to the t increased popularity of the paper, i But whatever the explanation, 1 it is a fact wvith considering by our advertisers and non-adver- " tising merchants who would like to see their goods move faster. An adv. in The Times will do tne wortc. Leonard Responsible For Wreck. At the investigation at Greens- 1 boro, N. C., Monday to place the 1 blame for the wrecking of train 1 No. 34 at Rudd, N. C., about \ ten days ago, Brakeman H. C. ^ Leonard was held responsible r "nd was required to put up $1,000 bond to answer later to \ tne charge of criminal negli- * gence. According to Leonard's story I he had been on duty 23 hours 1 without sleep; the switch was 2 closed as soon as the freight 1 pulled on the siding and he sat 1 down waiting for 34 to pass; he r dropped asleep as 34 approached;! I he awoke with a start, and having the switch on his mind, he I frantically pulled it open with- 1 out realizing what he was doing. c Leonard is said to have rela- ? tives in this township. i * Donovan-Kimbrell Nuptials. Charlotte Chronicle Monday: i "A marriage of much interest will be that of Miss Jennie Dono- ? van and Mr. Frank Kimbrell, ? which will be solemnized Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock at i the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. V. 1 Durham, on West Vance street. ? The ceremony will be performed ? by Rev. Dr. Herman H. Hulten, * pastor of the First Baptist church > of this city. c "Miss Donovan is very popu- ( lar here. She has made her 1 home with Mr. and Mrs. Dur- ; ? ham for the past two years and j 1 has made many friends. Her 11 sister. Miss Jeanie Donovan, of c Atlanta. Ga., has arrived in the c city and will be the maid-of- ! honor. Mr Kimbrell holds a reSDonsihle nnsitinn witVi j Miller Van Ness Company. He j ^ has many friends in Charlotte, j After a bridal trip of a week or ! two the voung couple will make ' their home with Mr. and Mrs. j J. H. H. Parks, on Vance j street." Immediately after the mar- i siage Mr. and Mra. Kimbrell will come to Fort Mill and will be tendered a reception today at the home of the groom's parents Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Kimbrell, of lower Fort Mill. Holding Cotton Hurts Trade. Some of the merchants of the city are complaining of the far-1 mers holding their cotton, and not settling their accounts. We ! think the farmer is exactly right; nnf tft GmII nf tllO ni-flcont I / ..WV vv wv.. MW V?IV 1'ivovnv Jil ivca, I V but if he is holding it at his home and allowing his creditors to suffer on that account we i think that is rather unfair to them when he could bring it j here and store and insure it and also get what money he needs to settle his debts and tide him over until the price gets where I he wants to sell. The banks of the city are advertising money to : loan on cotton, and some "f our I buyers are advertising storage! room, and there is also a far-; mer's warehouse here, and by that means you can take care ' of your cotton properly (for if , left at home on the ground it is i bound to damage, liable to be burned, and if it is insured there i is at a very high rate) get what1 money you want, pay off your j accounts, relieve the merchant of the strenuous situation that he is usually in at this season of the year, and also protect your credit, as you may want to use it again.? Rock Hill Record. Lewis Perry, Colored, Seriously Shot. Lewis Perry, a young colored man who has been working at the plant of the Charlotte Brick j Company, at Grattan, is at this writing, Monday, confined in the guardhouse and is dangerously wounded as a result of melee in which he engaged with Officers Potts and Powell Saturday night at 8 o'clock, and in which the i noirrn rpcp Knlloto from the officers' pistols. The story of the shooting as ? told on the streets was that Perry had been arrested for drunkenness by Officer Potts. The officer and his prisoner had . almost reached the guardhouse ^ when Perry refused to go fur- ^ ther and attacked the officer. In Ji the scuffie the negro, who was c much the stronger of the two, (c succeeded in getting the officer's a billy, and had struck the latter a a glancing blow on the head r with it.. Officer Powell arrived at this time and opened fire upon I Perry. The negro attempted to I get away but was disabled by one C of the shots. He was struck a three ti&P^s, one of the balls a shattering his left arm and shoulder, another cutting a gash icross the side of his neck and the third striking him in the nouth and tearing away a portion of his lower lip and teeth. The negro w^s carried to the guardhouse and medical attention given him. Perry's wounds ire serious, and should they not arove fatal, it is probable that the injured arm will have to be taken off at tbp shonW#?r "NTr* iction has been taken against :he officers who shot the negro.
