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.

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

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

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.
