THANKSGIVING DAY Thanksgiving day will be here in just three weeks, despite the fact that President Taft and Governor Ansel have not issued the customary proclamations setting aside the 24th of November as a day of Thanksgiving for the 1 American nation and the State of South Carolina. Where is the one who does not experience something of a thrill when mention is made of that festive occasion? Already it has become generally known that the holiday is less than a month off, and many have begun the making of plans for the observing of the aay. Huntsmen have mapped out the campaign against the denizens of field and forest, while the stay-at-homes have thought of things equally as comforting. With the good housewife it is things which will adorn the festive board for dinner that day, and with the progressive minister it is the special message which he will impart to his flock. Doubtless, there is game in the fields and forests for the huntsmen, but they will be handicapped in the pursuit thereof by recent enactments of the General Assembly respecting trespassing on posted lands. The housewife has designated the proud turkey gobler, which will be slain to meet the requirements of the occasion, and that monarch has already been put into an inclosure by himself and fed on the "fat of the land." Fruit cakes have long since been baked and stored away in pantries, while the menu of dainties has practically been completed. Cranberries have put in their appearance on the market and will be seen in larger quantities as Thanksgiving draws nearer. Turkey, cranberries, fruit cake, mince pie, roast apples, so the menu runs through the brain of the busy housewife as she plies her daily cares. Religious services will be held in practically all of the churches on Thanksgiving, appropriate hymns, prayers and sermons being rendered. The services will be held about the usual hour for the Sunday morning exercises, and the congregations will be let out in plenty of time to reach their homes for dinner. Although nothing has been said at present about the observance of the day with the merchants, bankers, cotton mills, the postoffice employees and others, it is presumed that a holiday will be given. Thanksgiving is always a welcome occasion, for there is a peculiar charm about the day that differentiates it from Christmas, New Year's day, July 4th, or any of the other more widely observed holiday. It is a day of dual feasting, feasts being prepared for the body as well as for the spirit, and this cannot be said of all the other holidays. As the great day draws nearer preparations will be made far and near for the observing of the festive occasion. No Hero Fund for These. Andrew Carnegie's hero fund has effected good in helping poor and worthy boys and young men who had done some heroic act to make headway in the world, notwithstanding the disadvantages of poverty. However, there are other kinds of heroism besides pulling a drowning person out of the water, or rescuing the helpless inmates of a house on fire. The mother who toils night and day to support a crippled husband and dependent children is a good deal of a heroine. The parent going without food so that the little ones may have something to eat; the brave sister or big brother working all hours to keep the family together when father and mother have gone to their final rest?all these are heroes or heroines; and there are many such in our great cities. Their names don't get in the newspapers or glare at readers in six-inch headlines: and their sacrifices may be known only to God, to themselves and to those whom they benefit; but the blood of heroes is in their veins; they are of the same stuff as the soldier who leads a forlorn hope, who thrusts himself on the bayonets of the foe that his comrades may rush forward to victory. All honor to the heroes of fire and flood and war, but don't forget that there are thousands just as heroic, for whom there are no Carnegie medals, no popular applause, no reward or recognition save the sweet pleasure of doing good, the consciousness of duty performed.
