As we survey the experience of the passing 12 months, we shall find that our estate presents very much to justify a nation-wide and most sincere testimony of gratitude for the bounty which has been be stowed upon us. Though we have lived in the shadow of the hard coh sequences of great conflict our coun try has been at peace and has been able to contribute toward the main tenance and perpetuation of peace in the world. We have seen the race of mankind make gratifying progress on the way to permanent peace, toward order and restored confidence in its high destiny. "For the divine guidance which has enabled us, in growing fraternity with other peoples, to attain so much of progress; for the bounteous -yield which has come to us from the re sources of our soil and our indus try, we owe our tribute of gratitude, and with it our acknowledgement of the duty and obligation to our peo ple and to the unfortunate, the suf fering, the distracted of other lands. Let us, in all humility, ackn:. wledge how great is our debt to the Provi dence which has generously dealt with us, and give devout assurance of unselfish purpose to play a help ful and ennobling part in human ad vancement. It is much to be de S sired that, in rendering homage for the blessings which have come to us, we should earnestly testify our con tinued and increasing aim to make our great fortunes a means of help ing and serving, as best we can, the cause of all humanity. "Now, therefore, I, Warren G. Harding, president of the United W State8 of America, do designate Thursday, the 80th day of Novem ber, as a day of thanksgiving, sup plication and devotion. I recom mend that the people gather at their family altars and in their houses of worship to render thanks to God for the bounties they have enjoyed and to petition that these may !,e con S inued in the year before us. "In witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be af .fxed, "Done at the city of Washington this 2nd day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine * hundred and twenty-two, and of the -dependence of the United States -of America, the one hundred and forty-seventh.

IT'S SO EASY TO BE AN EDITOR. Most any man can be an editor. All he has to do is to sit at a desk six days a week, four weeks a month and 12 months a year and edit such stuff as this: "Mr. Jones, of Cactus Creek, let a can opener slip last week sand cut herself in the pantry. While Har old Green was escorting Miss Viola Wise from the church social last Sat urday night a savage dog attacked them and bit Mr. Green on the pub. lic square.

The high price of cotton for the past week has helped business con. ditions wonderfully in Mr. Bolt's opinion. This fact coupled with the fact that he is going after business in no small way, having a double page ad in this issue of The Progress for the third consecutive week, is setting a new record in Easley for volume of business. Mr. Bolt ex pects business to continue good from now until Christmas. The business that this store has been doing has necessitated a second trip to the northern markets to re plenish the stock, and Mr. Bolt left Tuesday night for the North where he will buy special values to be of fered during the sale.
