Union, Xov. 23.?The South Carolina United Daughters of the Confederacy convention in session here today selected Florence as the next place of meeting and elected officers for the ensuing year, as follows: .Mrs. J. L. MeWhirter, .Jonesville. president: .Mrs. John Cart. Orangeburg, j first vice president: Mrs. l\- R. Brooks. Columbia, second vice president: Mrs. C. J. Milling. Darlington, third vice president: Miss Bertie Smith, Greenville, fourth vice presi! dent: Mrs. J. \V. Mixson. Union, re| cording secretary: Miss Sarah Gar I vin, St. George, corresponding stjcrt*-1 tary; Mrs. W. H. Cely, Greenville, treasurer: Mrs. John Allison Lawson. Charleston, historian: Mrs. T. R. i Trimmier, Spartanburg, registrar; Miss Lillie Cooper. Denmark, recorder of crosses. The position of auditor has not been filled. Laurens asked for the next convention this year but withdrew in favor of Florence, owing to the fact the convention was held in a contiguous county this year. Historical Evening. The convention reassembled at 8:15 o'clock Wednesday evening. It was historical evening and was enjoyed by the large audience besides the delegates to the convention. The Rev. George P. White, pastor of the First Baptist church, offered the nrov/ir oftor Tvht/?V? tho Phil UpCUXU5 uiwi u uivu v?iv dren of the Confederacy sang "Carolina." Mrs. McWhirter, president of the convention, then introduced Mrs. Carrie McC. Patrick, division historical superintendent. She gave a detailed report of the work for the year and showed that 286 papers had been compiled by the chapters of the State during the period. "A place must be provided to take care of these papers," she said. "I believe in preparedness. The old clock that stood in our home had an accompanying peach tree limb which showed that my mother before me believed in preparedness. Under our *great president we are one people, but our Confederate flag is a sacred memory; we should make more of an effort to attend our general convention. It was at such a gathering that I met Miss Rutherford, our general historian, who inspired me with a zeal for historical research. The war was a war between the States, not a war of rebellion." Mrs. Patrick then introduced Mrs. O. D. Black, of Johnston, one of the leaders of the Mary Anne Buie chapter, the banner chapter of the State, in contribution to historical archives. Mrs. Black read a valuable paper on "UrtTi.- wo nM Tt " AlVTf ff V M V* A vocal duet by Misses Layton and Jordan followed, after which Mrs. Patrick introduced Miss Kathleen James, who read the prize poem, written by her grandmother in her 87th year. Dr. John E. White, pastor of the First Baptist church, Anderson and president of Anderson college, deliv-j ered the principal address of the' evening which was on "The House of: Our Fathers: Can the South Come Back?" NUMBER OF TROOPS REDUCED. Only Two Companies Left at Gluck and Equinox Mills, Anderson. Anderson, Nov. 23.?The Gaffney company of coast artillery returned j home this afternoon and the Green-j ville company will leave tomorrow I morning. Orders for the number of j troops on guard here at the Gluck and . Equinox mills to be reduced to two j companies were received- from Gov-1 ernor Manning by Major Robertson j about midday today. This is in accordance with the governor's policy to reduce the troops gradually and to ultimately take away all the troops after conditions become settled at the two mills. The Jonesvilie company numbering fifty-seven men, remains on duty at the Gluck mill and the Greenwood company or sixty-nine men remains at the Equinox mill. Major Robertson and his staff remain here for the present. At the Equinox mill this afternoon 252 operatives were at work. This mill started up with fifty-three ten days ago. At the Gluck mill ninety-three are at work. This mill started up a week ago with fourteen. There was not a semblance of trouble at either mill today. Took a Hand in the Game. A number of British recruits at Sandhurst thought they would have a little fun with the drill sergeant. They made their plan, and on the following morning when the sergeant gave the order, "Number off from the right," they did so in this manner: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, jack, queen, king." Quick as a flash the sergeant came back: "All court cards fall out and report to the major."?London Standard. Xmas gifts at Herald Book Store. j ~~ E. I. MANNING. Render Thanks, Says Governor. Columbia, Nov. 23.?Governor .Manning this afternoon issued the following Thanksgiving proclamation: "While other nations and peoples have suffered horrifying destruction of life and property, and have endured the stupendous catastrophes of war, our people have enjoyed health, peace and prosperity. "Our unbroken custom has been to acknowledge by public act our gratitude to Almighty God for mercies vouchsafed us. "Thanksgiving and prayers should be accompanied by generous gifts for the relief of those who are in distress and of those in want. "Now, therefore, l, Kicnara i. .Manning, governor of the State of South Carolina, do appoint Thursday, November 30, 1916, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. On that day I urge our people to lay aside business and labor, repair to their places of worship, lift up their hearts in fei vent prayer to God and express our gratitude by contributing to the relief of the suffering and want of those who are in need of our sympathy and aid. "Given under my hand, the seal of the State, in Columbia, this twentythird day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and sixteen and in the one hundred and forty-first, year of the independence of the United States of America. "RICHARD I. MANNING, "Governor. "R. M. McCOWN, "Secretary of State." Republican Pays Freak Bet. A freak bet between Groceryman 1 ^ T?t on/3 fViA rnnrh V^Iicll'!??> IT* V>CLll9 U 1 >| aiiu i v sentative of the Armour Packing company?Mr. Judy?made over the result of the recent election, caused more genuine merriment than has been witnessed in this city in the past several months. Mr. Cecil took the Hughes end of the betting, while Mr. Judy espoused the cause of Wilson. The loser was to push the other from the postoffice down through Main street in a wheelbarrow, so Mr. Judy had the ride, amid the greatest excitement and the applause of a perfect multitude of excited onlookers. I Sir Richard Stout, the wonderful son i of the intrepid and wo'nderful Dr. { Stout, led the procession with a mop j he used as a baton with splendid ef-' feet. Following came Mr. Cecil with his successful opponent in the onewheel carriage. Mr. Cecil had a coronation which consisted of tin and a rooster, which was in the act of proclaiming victory on his apparently happy head. Behind was a banner of Mr. Cecil's own make, which read: "Typical Democrat thinks he is riding easy, when he is being jolted to death." Other banners in the procession were: "God Bless California," "Use Armour's Bacon," "Don't Thank Us, Thank Johnson," "Thanks to Teddy," "Charles Pusher Cecil." The college boys were in evidence with lareA and small drums and with yells. The whole affair was enjoyed by ail and a general good feeling pervaded the bettors as well as the spectators. It really caused more excitement than has been seen in Danville in many months past.?Danville Advocate. No Good. Maurice E. McLoughin, the lawn tennis champion, was talking about a player who had failed to make good. "The man won't train," he said. "He won't work. He won't deny himself. His disposition is a good deal like the tramp's. " 'Want a job diggin' potatoes ' a farmer asked a tramp. " 'Yes,' the tramp answered, "if ye mean diggin' 'em out o' gravey.' " ?Philadelphia Ledger.
