THE GASH BARGAIN STORE,
THANKSGIVING, SO SAYS PRESIDENT BILL
MCKINLEY IN A PROCLAMATION.
RECOUNTS II JS JE SEES . lt.
Thursday, Novombor 30, is Designated as
tho Day to bo Obsorved.
WASHINGTON, October 26.-Tho
President to-duy issued tho follow
ing Thanksgiving proclamation :
"A. national custom dear to the
hearts of the people calls for the set
ting apart of one day in each year ns
?in occasion of special thanksgiving
to Almighty God for the blessings of
the preceding year. This honored
observance acquires with time a ten
dor significance. It enriches do
mestic life. It summons under tho
family roof tho absent children to
glad reunion with those they love.
"Seldom has this nation had
greater causo for profound thanks
giving. No great pestilence has in
vaded our shores. Liberal employ
ment waits upon labor. Abundant
crops have rewarded tho efforts of
tho husbandman. Increased com
forts have come to the home. The
national finances have been strength
ened, and public credit has been sus
tained and made firmer. In all
branches of industry and trade thero
has been a steady gain in the moral
and educational grow th of our na
tional character.
"Churches and schools have flour
ished. American patriotism has
been exalted. Those engaged in
maintaining the honor of the Hag
with such signal success have been
in a largo degree spared from dis
aster and disease. An honored pence
has been ratified with a foreign na
tion with which wo were at war, and
we are now on friendly relations
with every power on earth.
"The trust which we have assumed
for the people of Cuba has been faith
fully advanced. There is ma? ked pro
gress toward the restoration of healthy
industrial conditions, and under wiso
sanitary regulations the island has
enjoyed exemption from tho scourge
of fever. The hurricane which
swept, over our new possession of
Porto Pico, destroying the homes
and property of the inhabitants,
called forth the instant sympathy of
the people of tho United States, who
were swift to respond with generous
aid to the sufferers. While tho in
surrection still continues in the island
of Luzon, business is resuming its
activity and confidence in the good
purposes of tho United States is be
ing rapidly established throughout
tho archipelago.
"For those reasons and countless
others, I, William McKinley, Presi
dent of the United States, do hereby
name Thursday, tho 30th day of
November next, as a day of general
thanksgiving and prayer, to be ob
served as such by all our people on
this continent and in our newly
acquired islands, as well as by those
who may be at sea or sojourning in
foreign lands ; and I advise that on
this day religious exercises shall be
conducted in tho churches or meet
ing places of all denominations, in
order that in the social features pf
the day its real significance may not
bo lost sight of, but fervent prayers
may be offered to tho most high for
a continuance of the divine guidance
without which man's efforts are vain,
and for divino < onsolation to those
whoso kindred and friends have sac
rificed their lives for country.
"I recommend also that on this day,
so far as may bo found practicable,
labor shall cease from its accustomed
toil and charity abound toward the
sick, tho needy and thepoor.
"In witness whoreof, I have sot
my hand and caused tho seal of tho
United States to be affixed.

The Old, Old Story.
Tho Do vor (Ky.) Nows, of October ll),
says: "Hon. T. (!. Dickinson, I-'uropean
financier of tho Black Diamond system,
arrived in Dover Wednesday from Wash
ington for a llnai consultation witli the
representatives of tho various lines be
fore sailing for Loudon. Mr. Dickinson
is in tito vory host of health, and ex
presses himself as satisfied witli tho
work recently completed in tho South
and reported to him, Dut little work is
;'ot to bo done to meet tho requirements
of tho capitalists, and, when completed
as outlined by thom, the work of closing
up will bo a matter of but a few weeks
after Mr. Dickinson's arrival in London.
Mr. Dickinson recently hold a lengthy
conforenco with Sir Thomas Tancred in
Now York, and all papors completed are
now in tlie bands of tho latter and lus
associates in Loudon, and only awaiting
the few additional papers which will bo
placed in Mr. Dickinson's hands before

EXPERIMENTS AT BELTON.
Department of Agriculture Testing South
Carolina Sci! fer forage Crops.
It will bo remembered that tho Sec
rotary of Agriculture ruado ft speech
hore .last bummer in tho courthouse,
urging thu farmers of thin section to
grow grasses .and.forage plants. Ho
oalled attention to tho fact that tho
farmor waa raining his land with
what ?8 known as "cropping." lt
was apparent thou that tho secretary
was deeply interested in tho develop
ment ot tho South, especially os to
farming interests, and this interest
was recently demonstrated ina prac
tical why, ut Helton, S. C., just 10
milos away.
Only last mouth Dr. Lawson
Scribner, agrostologist of the agri
cultural department, was sent to
Helton to make extensive experi
ments in the growing of various
kinds of grasses and forage plants. Tho
agrostologist lins entire charge of
this} department.
The sending of Dr. Scribner shows
very clearly that Secretary Wilson's
promise last summer to instituto ex
periments here was not an iii lu one,
but given in good faith.
As it was thought tho fanners of
Anderson county ure vitally affected
and earnestly concerned in tho di
versification of crops, a representa
tive of the Advocate was sent to
Belton whore ho spent several hours
with Dr. Scribner.
"My idea," said Dr. Scribner, "is
not to plant the grasses and plnntB
in such small quantities and on such
small tracts of land that the result
will be of no real practical value.
The secretary is anxious to know
what glasses will grow hore under
ordinary conditions, not what ones
will grow with extraordinary oare and
coddling-what grasses will flourish
on a tract of your land that is an
average in richness. With this in
view I carno hero at the invitation
of your Congressman, Mr. Latimor,
who has ! nully given the depart
ment several sections of land on
which to carry on experiments. As
a rule we have to pay for tho use of
land for this purpose, but Mr. Lati
mer has refused to accept remunera
tion in this case, and we certainly
appreciate his liberality."
Dr. Scribner also stated that tho
experimental station at Bolton was
the first of its kind tho d?pannent
had located.
Ile then enumerated the different
sections of land he had already planted
in grasses and forage plants, as fol
low?:
Pasture land of about fifteen acres,
with original forest undergrowth cut
away.
Eight acres of forest pine, to do
inonstrate if pine needles would in
terfere with the growth of the grass.
Twenty or twenty-five act es of old
pine field and six or eight acres of
swampy land.
Along the public road tho doctor
planted seven acres in crimson clover,
timothy and alfalfa,
While the reporter was there three
plats of single varieties were sown,
viz.: Alfalfa, ten kinds of clover
(white, red, yellow, etc.,) and ten
varieties of grasses. Each variety
was planted separately and marked
so as to avoid confusion in the
future.
For several years at Knoxville,
Tenn., experiments were carried on
with the grasses and forage plants
used at Helton, but only in tho plats
and not in tho open field as is being
done in tho latter pince. Tho Knox
ville experiments were successful as
far as they went,, but they can hardly
bo said to bo fair tests of what
grasses and plants will grow in the
open field under ordinary conditions,
