TWO PROCLAIMS DAY OF THANKSGIVING t President Reviews the Many Causes for Thanks by The Nation ONLY GREAT POWER OF WORLD AT PEACE Rights Asserted, Friendships Kept and Prosperity Promoted. Washington. Oct. 21.?President Wilson today in a proclamation desig-' rating Thursday, November 25, as! Thanksgiving Day, called attention to! the fact that the United States has been at peace while most of Europe has been at war. "We have been able to assert our rifhfs iind flip viirhts nf mnntind with . 0- - v" ^ "O"' vw/ V' * ?'??? X * ?" out broach of friendship with the great, nations \n ith whom wc have to deal," said the President. The text follows: "It long has been the honored custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for his many blessings and mercies to us as a nation. The year that is now drawing to a colse since we last observed our day of national thanksgiving has been, while a year of discipline because of the mighty forces of war and ^ f 1_ i_ 1 i vji ciiunges wnicn nas uisturueu tne world, also a year of special blessing for us. "Another year of peace has been vouchafed us; another year in which not only to take thought of our duty to ourselves and to mankind, but also to adjust ourselves to the many responsibilities thrust upon us by a war which has involved almost the whole of Europe. We have been able to assert our rights and the rights of mankind without breach of friendship with the great nations with whom we have had to deal; and while we have asserted rights, we have been able also to perform duties and exercise priviledges of succor and helpfulness which should serve to demonstrate our desire to make the offices of friendship the means of truly disinterested and unselfish service. "Our ability to serve all who could avail themselves of our services in the midst of criseses has been increased by a gracious Providence, by more and more abundant crops; our ample resources have enabled us to study the markets of the world and facilitate necessary movement of commerce which the Wfll* mirrhf ^ I. - 1 - ? ..w .'bin umctwise nilvu rendered impossible; and our people have come more and more to a sober realization of the part they have been called uporl to play in a time when all the world is s'bakened by unparelled distress and disasters. "The extraordinary circumstances of such a time have done much to quicken our national consciousness ! and deepen and confirm our confidence in the principle of peace and 1 freedom by which we have always 1 sought to be guided. Out of darkness 1 and perplexities have come firmer " counsels of policy and clearer perceptions of the essential welfare of the ' nation. We have prospered while ^ other peoples wore at war, but our j prosperity has been vouchafed us, we believe, only that we might the better j perform the functions which war rendered it impossible for them to per- < form. \ "Now therefore, I Woodrow Wilson, { President of the United States of j America, do hereby designate Thurs- < day, the twenty-fifth of November I next, as a day of thanksgiving and 1 prayer, and invite the people through- 1 out the land to cease from their wont- , ed occupations and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks to Almighty God.

Seven men on trial charged with conspiracy to defraud the government in the manufacture of "moonshine" whiskey, pleaded guilty in the United States district court at Fort Smith, Ark, 4 STATE ITEMS!! I OF INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE Drug prices, perhaps, have been more materialy affected by the European war than any other of the American necessities. George E. Hardy, for 28 years a guard and corporal at the State penitentiary died Thursday morning at 3 o'clock, following a long illness. The travelling men are to have a big time in Columbia during the Fair. A whole day has been set aside for them by the State Fair association. Prof. W. W. Long, of Clemson College, in charge of the demonstration work in this State, has exhibits at the fair. The only county missing is Georgetown. Governor Manning has written a letter to Governor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania insisting that he honor the requisition issued by him and send Joe Grant back to this State for trial. United States Senator E. D. Smith says there is nothing especially doing to give out to the newspapers except that cotton is going up. The Senator thinks cotton will be about 20 cents a pound in January. Wholesale and brokerable interests of Charleston have received advices that the American-Hawaiian Steam- 1 ship Company's ships are making pass 1 age from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic by way of the Straits of Magellan as a result of the delay caused by the recent slides in the Panama canal. I Workmen are moving the large res- ' idence of Dr. Frank H. McLeod at South Dargan and Cheves Streets in Florence. The building has been undermined and set on rollers and skids, and is now ready to be moved to the ' beautiful lot at South Dargan and Palmetto, as soon as the linemen of the Bell Telephone Company can complete the hoisting of cables to permit the building to pass under. , Throughout Charleston the State militia is receiving much praise for ! military bearing, preparedness and efficiency when it has shown in its ex- : acting service . Not only are these words of commendation coming from the citizens of Charleston but strangers, including army officers, within the city, are constantly heard commenting the Charleston military organizations. NOW HER FRIENDS HARDLY KNOW HER But This Does Not Bother Mrs. Burton, Under the Circumstances* Houston^ Texas.?In an interesting letter from this city, Mrs. S. C. Burton writes as follows: "I think it is my duty to tell you what your medicine, Cazdui, the woman's tonic, has done for me. I was down sick with womanly trouble, and my mother advised several different I treatments, but they didn't seem to do me any good. I lingered along for three or four months, and tor three weeks, J J1 was in bed, so sick i couldn't bear foi j: any one to walk across the floor. I" My husband advised me to try Cardui, f [he woman's tonic. I have taken two = Dottles of Cardui, am feeling Fine, gained 1 15 pounds and do all of my housework. 5 Friends hardly know me, 1 am so well." I If you suffer from any of the ailments j 50 common to women, don't allow the ' [rouble to become chronic. Begin taking [ ?ardui to-day. It is purely vegetable, \ its ingredients acting in a gentle, natural j way on the weakened womanly constilu- * lion. You *un no risk in trying Cardui.
