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.
