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.
Ex-Governor Allen D. Candler
of Georgia is dead.
