Washington; Ooi 31.- The Presi? dent today Issued the annual Thanks? giving proclamation, In which ho pointed out the steady growth of th^ nation In strength, worldly power, wealth and population and that our uv. rage individual comfort and well being is higher than that of any other country In the world. For this, ho declares, Americans owe It to the Al? mighty to show equal progress in moral and spiritual things. Tho proclamation follows: By the President of the United States of America?Proclamation: "Once again the season is at hand when, according to the ancient cus? tom of our people, it becomes the duty of the President to appoint a day of prayer and of thanksgiving to God. if ear by year this nation grows in strength and worldly power. During the century and a quarter that has elapsed since our entry into the circle of independent peoples we have grown and prospered in material things to a degree never known before, and not now known in any other country. The thirteen colonies which struggled along the seacoast of the Atlantic and were hemmed In but a few miles west of tidewater by the Indian-haunted wilderness have been transformed into the mightiest Republic which the world has ever seen. Its domains stretch across the continent from one to the other of the two greatest oceans, and It exercises dominion alike In the arctic and tropic realms. The growth In wealth and population has surpass? ed even the growth In territory. No? where rlese In the world Is the average of Individual comfort and material well-being as high as In our fortunate land. "For the very reason that in mate? rial well-being we have thus abounded we owe it to the Almighty to show equal progress In moral and spiritual thing*. With a nation, as with the Individuals who make up a nation, material well-being is an Indispensa? ble foundation. But the foundation avails nothing by Itself. Ihat life Is wasted, and worse than wasted, which Is spent In piling, heap upon hci|i, those things which minister merely to the pleasure of the body and to the power that rests only on wealth. l'i> on material well-being as a founda? tion must be raised the structure of the lofty life of the spirit If this na? tion Is properly to fulfil Its great mission and to accomplish all that we so ardently hope and desire. The things of the body are good; th< things of the Intellect better; but best of all are the things of the soul; for, In the nation, as In the Individual, In the long run It Is character that counts. Let us, therefore, as a peo? ple set our faces resolutely against evil, and with broad charity, with kindliness and good will toward all men, but with unflinching determina? tion to smite down wrong strive with all the strength that Is given us for righteousness In public and In private life. "Now, therefore, I, Theodore Hoose velt President of the United States, do set apart Thursday, the 26th day of N camber as a day of general thanks gltvng and prayer, and on that day 1 recommend that the people shall i M l from their daily work and. In the!? h?>mes Of their churches, meet dtYOUtly to thank the Almlhhty for the many and great blessing! they have received in the past, and to pray that they may be given strength so to order thHr lives as to deserve ? continuation of these blessings in the future.

Heavy Ruin Prevented Full Attend? ance at Atutiml Oonveattoa of the society Held in Columbia Wednes? day?President Taylor, vice Presi dent (hrlst4 OSCn and Secretary Kiev Ive-oleited. Columbia, Oct. 28.?At noon tho Audubon Society of South Carolina held its first annual meeting in the chapel of the South Carolina Univer? sity. Most of the members were rep? resented by proxies given to President Taylor or Secretary Rice. The heavy downpour of rain prevented many who were in the city from attending the meeting. President Taylor presided and in opening the meeting gave an interest? ing talk on the work of the Society since Its organization. At every step the Society had grown in popularity in the State and he felt that no great? er work could be undertaken for the regeneration of the State. Protection of the game and fish meant wonders to the country at large. It provided abundant supplies of both as a vent for the activities of the people in sport and it furnished in the case of fish a valuable food supply to the people. But Important as this phase of the subject undoubtedly is, he would nev? er have undertaken the work to save fish and game alone. He had been led to do what he did solely on account of the protection to the agricultural Interests of the State. This should have the serious attentioh of the Leg? islature; it is a matter far too im? portant to be neglected any longer. "When I undertook the work of the Audubon Society,'* said President Tay? lor, "I frankly had no idea of what an important affair it was going to be? come. Such irr.emdiate and Vver In? creasing responsibility developed for the president that I have reached a point where my business will not por mit my devoting tho necessary time to It. The secretary is constantly on the move, and he cannot keep In touch with the wardens throughout the State and at the same time attend to his Important duties. This end of the work, the office work, and the general direetl n of wardens, has devolved entirely on the president." There ire now one hundred and six wardens in South Carolina, and these wardens were of necessity on a con? tingent basis, the Society having no means with which to pay their sala? ries. The practice of working war? ded! this way had never been satisfac? tory and he should like to nee it dis? continued as soon as possible. Not a large number of warded! would bo neoeesary if they were all paid and kept moving. Since becoming prell ladt of tho Au? dubon Society he had devoted much time to the study of bird, game and Hth protection, and he had compared the lawi Of various State! on this sub? ject. Hp found that nearly all had adopted the license system of raising revenue to maintain the department dCVOtd to the preservation of these rsources. Thr law had everywhere worhtd well with a minimum of friction. Illinois had raised about $200,000 from a resident hunting li? cense, and Alabama the first year had raised $20.000 over and aDove the amount necessary to enforce the law. This amount was raised although tho State exempted landowners and ten? ants from paying license. President Taylor recommended tho election Of a fish and game commiss? ion* r and asked f >r nn expression of optodlon from the Society on the question, He thought such an office should by nominated by the Audubon Society and appointed by tho Gover? nor, by and with the advice and con? sent of the State. This would effect? ually remove It from polities and pro? vide all nOOeceary checks to meet any objections that might be raised. This officer and department he contended should bi paid out of the license fund. ]!?? read the treasurer's report and commented on the Items, showing how much work had been done for an Insignificant sum of money.
