THANKSGIVING. Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, the day set apart by the president of the United States and the governor of each State for thanksgiving and prayer. It is well that we stop one day in the year and reverently thank God for his goodness to us. The American people have much to be thankful for. The farmer, the main stay of the country, has enjoyed a fairly prosperous year, the merchants have done a satisfactory business, the manufactories have bo-m running on full time, the laborer has had steady employment, the religious in terests have enjoyed a blessing, God has preserved us from famine and pestilence, from war and strife, and if ever a people had occasioc to be thankful surely we are that people, therefore let us reverently observe One Munt Have a Good Stock of the Former in Order to Get Along. [Charity and Children.! There is a man in North Carolina who is honest, scholarly, eloquent, capable and altogether worthy. He is a faithful party man and goes into every campaign with singular zeal and devotion, doing effective and valu able work until the very last. But he is a modest man, and will not push himself forward. As a consequence men of not half his moral worth nor mental strength forge their way past him, snatch the plum from his hands and enjoy the fruit of his labors, while he stands out in the cold and waits. And he will continue to wait forever, for without brass it is impossible to please the politicians. We know an other man who is not a scholar, not even an elegant gentleman, for his manners are boorish, and his lack of culture are plainly apparent to all who know what culture is, yet this man would not hesitate to walk in where angels fear to tread and ask for the best thing to be had. The conse quence is this man is petted and feas ted and fondled by men with whom ho is not worthy to be compared. He is supplied with an abundance of that quality so essential to success, some times called brass and sometimes cheek, and again gall, but all mean ing exactly the same thing. This latter gentleman is not in politics, but occupies a most honorable posi tion for which, except uncommon energy and this saving gift of brass, he is entirely unfitted. Great is brass. It is coming more and more in de mand, and blessed be he who reaches out his hands to grasp whatever he sees whether he deserves it or not. He is tolerably apt to get what ho is af ter. As for his making the public believe he has won his way worthily, that is another matter, and one with which he does not bother his head. A Good Towel. the day. Business in Gaffney will be practi cally suspended. The banks and bus iness houses will close and practically ail the manufacturing establishments will suspend operations. The Ledger has much to be thank ful for, therefore the day will be ob served by this newspaper. We repeat that there could be no better way to observe the day than to give of our means to help the unfor tunate little ones in our orphan insti tutions, therefore wo would suggest that Dr. Broughton preach on the subject of giving Thursday morning and afternoon and that a collection be taken for the benefit of the various orphanages in our State. A gUGGKSTION. The present crowded condition of the hospital for the insane in Colum bia will make the further precision for the unfortunate of our State one of the most important matters that will come before the next session of the general assembly when it meets in January. That additional accomo dations for this unfortunate class will have to be furnished by the State, or that the counties will have to take the mattqr in hand and provide for their unfortunates at home is appar ent to all who have given the subject even a casual thought. That the general assembly, which has always boen liberal to this class of our people, will take some action to relieve the present congested con dition of the asylum may reasonably be expected, and in doing so we hope it will profit by the example of our neighbor, North Carolina, which has found two hospitals to work well. We therefore suggest to our law makers the propriety of building an other hospital for our unfortunates, and further suggest that they do not build in Columbia or any other town or city, but out in the country on some of the railways where it will not be hampered or annoyed by contigu ous surroundings. For thfs new hospital we know of no portion of the State that offers more attractions than does the pro gressive Piedmont. We know of many places in it that seems to us ideal locations for this much needed institution. They exist in all of our Piedmont counties. Such can be found in Cherokee, Union, York, Chester, Spartanburg, Greenville and others further west, but as we are better acquainted with Cherokee than the other counties, we are satisfied we could show a committee hunting a location for such an institution many ideal places in Cherokee. Oth ers can be shown in other counties. At present we think of the magnifi- cient heights, the pretty plains and fine farming and grazing lands on Peeler Island. Other places just as good but not so picturesque are plen tiful and before tbe general assembly takes any definite* action we trust it will give tbe advantages of county lo cations mature consideration. The high hills, the fertile valleys, the sparkling waters and salubrious cli mate of our Piedmont counties fur nishes all that generous nature can, let tbe State come in and do tbe bal ance. Is always in demand, whether it comes around forty-eight pounds of the best patent flour, or is boucht at five cents a yard. A good many peo ple would rather get a sixty inch towel out of the sack their flour comes in than to buy it at the dry goods store, and that is why every forty-eigiit pound sack of the “Clif ton” is packed in the regular towel ing. Ask your grocer for “Clifton” in the towel sack. Bransfprd Mills, Owensboro, Ky. For sale by li. M. Wilkins A Co., Gaffney, S.
