S. C.. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 23. 1950 A Thanksgiving Psalm For Today its Record High Hit In Cotton Price With Demand High Charlotte. N. C„ Nov. 20.—The cot-i ton trade and textile industry of the Charlotte area today greeted with subdued excitement the rise of cot- jton prices at New York to a historic jhigh of 44.03 cents a pound for De- 1 cember deliveries. American cotton miiis are expect- ! ed to consume around 10,500,000 | bales this year. The crop was only 19,950,000 bales. There was a carry- , over of about 6,400.000 bales. Exports j are expected to total around 4,500,000 —provided the U. S. Departmnt oi] Agriculture will authorize export li censes for that total. Today was the fifth consecutive day fcr cotton prioe.- to r.*tiiin new highs for the last 25 years. However, prices today also went to highs that exceeded the previous historic record of 43.75 cents at New York for the July contract in 1920. Surveys of the cotton-textile situ ation disclosed that mills and deal ers are experiencing difficulty in ob taining cotton in the grades and sta ples needed by the individual mills for their particular production.

In its celebration we ac- of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be. That we may then all unite in ren dering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks, for Hu kind care and protection of the people of this coun try previous to their becoming a na tion, for the signal and manifold mer cies. and the favorable interpositions of His providence, which we experi enced in the course and conclusion of the late war, for the degree of tran quility, union, and plenty, which we have been enabled to establish con stitutions of government for our safe- Broadway, says there just aren't ty and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately institut- knowledge our indebtedness to Al- ... .mighty God for all the blessings that j ec *'.* or C1V1 an d^religious hbe ^y have been ours from the earliest days! of our freedom and independence. Guided by a watching Providence • vo will remain a free nation, bless ed as no other nation in the world, .yet at no other time in our history nas our free way of life been so challenged. Never have we expen- with which we are blessed, and the means w'e have of acquiring and dit- fusing useful knowledge and in gen eral for all the great and various favors which He hath been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers t need so many fears, and never have! an ^ supplications to the great Lotd .<-0 many doubts appeared to cloud, an< * Huler of nations and beacecn Jne horizon of our democratic form : Him to pardon our national and oth- r>: government. Let us thank Goa 1 er transgressions, to enable us all, ?hat we still remain a Republic! And ! wbe ^ er public or private stations, we mean to keep it thus. As in the time of the Revolution, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually to in the works of Thomas Paine, “these render our national government a iire times that try men’s souls*’’ Never have we needed to cleanse our .souls as now and to seek the guidance, of “God in Whom we Trust.” The ly and faithfully executed and obey- material prosperity of our beloved' e d, to protect and guide all sover- country has been one that has aston- e iSns and nations (especially such as ished and amazed the world, but our | have shown kindness unto us) and to spiritual prosperity is something that bless them with good government, blessing to all the people, by con stantly being a government of wise, just and constitutional laws, discreet- needs great repairing. How can we reconcile our Christian civilization with the feverish building of our Atomic bombs? As we pray upon this sacred event of Thanksgiving we cannot thank 4God for these bombs and other mili tary destructives. We can only thank the Devil for them! It has been written that “one with God is a majority”—but how shy we are about getting into that majority! Yet it is the only winning one. Never in all the history of the world has an organization been in itiated for a greater ideal than the United Nations. Why is it, however, that none of its sessions are opened with prayer to God for guidance in peace, and concord. To promote the knowledge and practice of true reli gion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us. and gen erally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best. MORE PEOPLE ARE READING THE CHRONICLE THAN EVER BEFORE! r Mr. Dan Goldsmith, 3024 Cur- ron Road, Louisville, Ky. t owner of Coogla Cut Rate Store af935 West enough words in the English lan guage to praise HADACOL cor rectly. He says he knows most folks don’t realize what a change HADACOL can make in their life if their systems are deficient in Vitamins B', B>, Iron and Niacin. Here is Mr. Goldsmith’s state ment: “Before I started taking HADA COL I was run down ana nervous —7 and had a hard time sleeping nights. With my work in the store I have to spend sometimes 14 hours a day on my feet. Since I am in the retail business I saw how many folks were asking for HADACOL so I decided to try it'myself. After the first couple of bottles I could tell a definite improvement. Now I have all the pep and energy in the world, my nerves are steady as ever and I really do get a good night’s rest. HADACOL is won derful— I not only take it, but recommend it to all my customers. I praise the day Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc put HADACOL on the market” HADACOL Is So Different Thousands are benefiting from HADACOL .. . whose systems lack Vitamins B\ B», Iron and Niacin. HADACOL is so wonderful be cause HADACOL helps build up the hemoglobin content of your blood (when Iron is needed) to carry these great Vitamins and Minerals to every body organ — to every part of the body. Give remarkable HADACOL a chance and if you don’t feel better with the first few bottles you take — you get your money back. Only $1-25 for Trial Size; Large Family or Hospital Size, $3.50.
