Governor McSweeney Issues His Thanks giving Proclamation. Governor McSweeney has issued the following us his Thanksgiving proclamation: It is an old and honored custom by which the Chief Magistrate of the State sets apart one day as a day of thanksgiving and praise to the Source of all Life for His manifold blessings and fostering care. When in the en joyment of health and happiness and prosperity we are prone to forget the sustaining hand through which these blessings come. As a people we have had our trials and hardships, our days of adversity and of bitter strife, and through them all we have triumphed because of our trust in and reliance on an All-wise Providence. During the past year we have en joyed peace and prosperity. The la bor of the husbandman has been re warded by abundant harvests and all business has prospered. We have been spared pestilence and plague, drought and flood. In this day of prosperity we should not forget the source whence it comes. We should as a people, render thanks to God for the blessings which we enjoy and in the midst of material prosperity strive for moral and spiritual uplifting; for it is not in material progress and pros perity that a people can claim to be truly great, or hope to obtain lasting happiness. The greatnessof a people rests in the character of the individ ual citizen, and this character is built upon deeds done—deeds which glorify God and help lift up and bless our fellow men. In no way can we better show our appreciation of the kindness and the forbearance of our Heavenly Father than by doing our duty to Him, to ourselves and to our fellow man. Now, therefore, I. M. B, McSween ey, Governor of the State of South Carolina, In conformity to the procla mation of the President of the United States, do set apart Thursday, the 27th day of the present month, as a day of general thanksgiving and do recommend that all public offices be closed, and that the people cease from their ordinary vocations, and in their homes and several places of wor ship render thanks to God for the blessings which they have enjoyed during the past year, and that on this occasion they remember the poor and sorrowing by their gifts and their prayers of sympathy. In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State to be affixed. Done at the city of Columbia this, the 5th day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and two, and of the Independeuce of the United States of America the one hundred and twenty-seventh. (Seal.) M. B. McSweeney. By the Governor: M. R. Cooper, Secretary of State. A “Country Frolic”.

For ourselves, we have every reason to be thankful. The gifts of Providence demand our gratitude and we profoundly share in the common expression of that gratitude.
