COLORED GIRL
FOILED BURGLARS.
Until ({uito Recently She
Lived Here.

NOW IN FLORIDA.
Presented a Gun at Would
bo Thieves.
They Retreated in a Hurry?Ulrl Was
"Not in Hie Least Afraid?The Cir
cu instances.
Wlion Mrs. W. I?. Garrett returned
to (Jainesviilc, Florida, from this city
about one month ago sho carried with
her a young negro girl named Lilly
Cook. Lilly is the daughter of "Aunt
Patsey,'' a respectable colored woman
of Laurens. Tho Gainesville Sun has
tho following; account of an exciting in
cident In which Lilly behaved with a
great deal of credit to herself:
What might be termed wonderful
nerve and bravory for a woman was
exemplified at the home of Mrs. W. P.
Garrett Wednesday night, when a col
ored girl, a sorvant in tho household,
foiled the attempts of robbers who
woro about to enter the house, by pre
senting the muzzle of an ugly looking
gun in their faces.
Lilly Cook Is the girl's name, and she
Is yet in the middle of her teens. Di
rectly after the dining room had been
cleared at the evening meal* Lilly had
retired to one of tho rooms in the dis
charge of a duty, when she heard a
noiso at tho kitchen window. She
looked out and observed a couple of
men standing at the window, and it
appeared that they were endeavoring
to pry open the same. Without a word
Lilly grasped tho gun, went out into
the yard to tho corner of the kitchen,
and after watching them for a moment
suddenly pointed the gun In the direc
tion of the window.
"I havo been wntching you, you
mean, skulking robbers. Now skip, or
I'll b!ow both your heads off with this
gun!"
Tho robbers, evidently feeling satis
fied thRo Lilly meant what she said,
did not stop to ascertain, and both
mado a hasty exit over the fence and
into tho darkness.
When a-ked if she was not afraid
tho girl replied:
"Afraid? Why, what should I be
afraid of when I had the gun? If
either of the men should have come
towards me I would have shot as I said
I'd do, but I'm mighty glad I didn't
have to shoot, because I was told af
terwards that tho gun would 'kick.'
Something besides the gun would havo
kicked, though, becauso I eertainly
meant business."
Lilly says she has the " ..rusty" put
away In the corner where it's handy,
and the next time she has occasion to
use it she might do so without warn
ing. _

The Piedmont Plantors Old Relia

The other features of the Almanac
are first rate, the jokes being better
than the usual almanac humor.
All should have these almanacs and

next week.
Attention is again called to tho con

THANKSGIVING.
When James was King of England
nearly all the peoplo belonged to the
English Church, and the worship of
this church was so much like that of
tho Oathollo Church that the people
desired a reform in the worship, but
James would not hear to this at all, so
a band of those people who called
thenuelves Separatists decided to
go to Holland where they oould wor
ship as they please. They stayed in
Holland ab~>ut twelve years, it was
then that they started for Amorica.and
they flret landed at Cape Cod, but they
did not like this place, so they set sail
again and landed at Plymouth, Decem
ber 11th, 1620.
It has been nearly 281 years since
our first Thanksgiving on the Ameri
can soil. This Thanksgiving was hold
November 27, 1021.
The first Thanksgiving day was
spent in having games of all kinds and
the people were giving thanks because
they had a safe voyage to America
and could now worship as they pleased.
Thanksgiving Is spent now in differ
ent ways, but not in the way that it
should be spent. I will venture to say
that not half of the people know why
Thanksgiving is celebrated, and if thoy
do they do not think very much about
it. I think Thankgiving should be
spent in really giving thanks.
Every Thanksgiving day that comes
around there is not a one of us that
cannot give thanks. If all things do
not go right from one Thanksgiving to
another it is not right for us to com
plain for it is God's work and it is for
the best, but there are not many of us
that take it in that way.
Just think of the poor Pilgrims that
died while trying to make homes for
their families, and of the families that
suffered during tho cold New England
winter and then they gave thanks.
If we had to endure the trials which
these people endured we would say
that we had no right to give thanks,
but now, when we look back and see
how much energy and ambition our
fore-fathers had we should never give
up, but struggle onward and all will
come right in the end.
THE PILGRIMS.
About the beginning of the seven
teenth century there was a class of peo
ple in England who had begun to wor
ship God in a way not allowed by the
laws of that time. On account of
their religious beliefs they were treated
very harshly, so they fled to Holland
where they might worship as they
pleased.
Afraid that their children would
learn the Dutch language and customs
these peoplo after a stay of 14 years in
Holland decided to leavo and find somo
place where they might worship as
they pleased, and still be Englishmen.
Thero was no other place of refuge ex
cept America, so to this land they now
turned. On account of their wander
ings thoy wore called Pilgrims.
In England thoy were joined by oth
ers of their beliefs and tho band s?t
sail in two ships, tho Mayflower and
the Speedwell. When not far out at
sea the Speedwell began to leak so the
two ships returned to England where
repairs were made, after which they
again set sail.
Tho second time out at sea the Speed
well again sprung a leak, so this time
when they returried to England they
left tho leaky ship at homo and the en
tire company one hundred and two wo
men and men boarded the Mayflower.
? Because of high winds thoy were
driven past the coast of New Jorsoy
whore they intonded to settlo and in
stoad anohored off fhe coast of Cape
Cod, Massachusetts.
For five weeks parties explored the
coast in search of a suitablo landing
place At last In 1620, a few days be
fore Christmas the Pilgrims landed and
began to build the settlement of Ply
mouth.
As usual with settlers in a new coun
try the suffering of the Pilgrims dur
ing the first winter was terrible. Be
fore spring half of them died. However
with the spring days came a chango for
tho better.
Squanto, an Indian, taught the set
tlers how to fish, how to catch eels, and
how to plant and cultivate corn. Fish
were put. into cornjiills as manure
In the fall of this year 1021, the set
tlers reaped a good harvest of corn.
Accordingly in thanks for their pros
perity, Governor Bradford had a day
sot apart for general thanksgiving and
praise. [Hence was observed the first
Thanksgiving Day in America, and not
immodiately after tho landing of the.
Pilgrims, as stated in a previous com
position written by a Laurens county
pupil. It is true that the Pilgrims held
a religious service of praise soon after
reaching America, but thero was no
general Thanksgiving Day until the
fall of 1621.]
All household articles, cooking uten
slls, farm tools and articles of clothing
used by the Pilgrims were home-made.
The bouses of the first comers wore
of logs. The builder, would begin by
cutting down trees and chopping them
into logs. When enough had been cut
he would place four ou the ground in
tho shape of a square, and leaving an
open space in one side for a doorway
and another at one end for a fire place.
On top of these he would put a second
sot of logs and so on until ho had it
high enough. For the roof he used log
rafters,, p'aced saplings across them
and on tho saplings ho put grass or
straw. Between the logs would be open
spaces. These were filled with mud or
clay.
COTTON.
Cotton is produced in climates where
the summers are long and hot and rain
fall is plentiful. The best cotton grows
along tbe coast of South Carolina and
Georgia. This is known as Sea Island
cotton. Its fibro is long and strong.
Most of it is 6ont to the mills of En
gland.
Cotton is used in makir { oloth,
thread, rope, and for many other useful
purposes.
A valuable oil is pressed from the
seed of cotton. This is called cotton
seed oil. It is used in making soap,
and other arttcles.
When ootton is picked it is carried to
the cotton gins, where the fibro is sep
arated from the seed. Then it is
pressed into bales ready for market.
Most cotton is picked in the months
of August and September.
Cotton grows from one to five feet
high and thrives best in good sandy
loam.
Cotton olothing is worn by all civil
ized nations.
Most of the labor on cotton planta
tions is done by negroes. They can
stand more beat than the white man
and therefore, most of the cotton pick
ing is dono by them. The negroes are
more adapted to cotton cultivation
than any other branch of agrloulture.
On the large ootton plantations the
negroes work in groups and sing and
seem to enjoy themselves very muoh.
When they hear the bell for dinner
they all carry the cotton to the house
and weigh it. Then they will all goto
dinner.
Georgia and Texas produce more,
cotton than any other States in the
Union, but South Carolina, North
Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Arkansas and a part of Florida
also produce large quantities.
* The greater part of the cotton raised
in the United States goes to England,
France and Germany.
Cotton is poetically called "The snow
of the Southern summer."
The great centers of cotton manu
facture in tho United States are the
cities and towns in the northeast part
of our country.
The Southern States are now manu
facturing a large quantity of cotton,
especially South Carolina.

ICELAND.
On the Southern edge of. the Arctic
Circle, east of Greenland, lies a litte
island known as Iceland,?a land of
perpetual summer day light, a land of
glorious scenery, snow clad mountains,
volcanoes, geysers and boiling springs!
One has well said: "It is a land of frost
and fire.
There are no trees, vogetatlon is
scanty.
This little islands ranks fourteenth in
si/.o among the islands of the world.
The people of Iceland are poor with
few resources in their rugged soil to
draw from, but they are kind, polite,
manly, liberty loving, independent and
God-fearing.
Both English and Icelandic are
spoken. At the capital are good
schools where many students arc ob
taining an education. The inhabitants
are nearly all Lutherans.
The farm houses are built of sods and
rocks. They have no fire, except for
cooking purposes, summer or winter.
They cannot get coal in many parts
of the country, and the few twigs have
to be saved for cooking.
In July when the sun has swung so
far North it sets about ten o'clock and
rises about two. One can then road as
well at midnight as at midday.
The island is teeming with many
kinds of birds! The people make their
living by trout and salmon fishing and
raising the eider duck.
One of the most wonderful sights of
Iceland is the geyers. One geyser has
been known to throw out a stream of
water one hundred and sixty feet in the
air and if this geyser is not active, trar
elerB have discovered that a beauliful
stream of water is belched forth by
throwing soap and butter into the cra
ter.
The most noted volcano is Mt. Heoia.
Historians say seventeen eruptions
have occurred within the last eight
hundred years. The last eruption in
1845 was a continual pour of ashes,
smoke and lava three miles in the air
for seven months.
Here is a country, hundreds of years
older than America, without a mile of
railroad, without a telegraph line,
without an electric ear or a daily pa
per and only one short telephone line.
At the capital there are a few carriages
for transportation, yet the people are
contented and Intelligent to an unusual
degree.
