THANKSGIVING DAY.
President McKinley Illuel the AI-
nual Proclamation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—The presi-
dent has issued the following Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation:
A national custom dear to the hearts of
the people calls for the setting apart of
one day in each year as ah occasion of
s ceial thanksgiving to Almighty God for
‘ e blessings of the preceding year. This
honored observance acquires with time a
tenderer significance. It enriches domes-
tic life. It summons under the family roof
the absent children to glad reunion with
those they love.
Seldom has this nation had greater cause
for profound thanksgiving. No great pes-
tilence has invaded our shores. Liberal
employment waits upon labor. Abundant
crops have rewarded the efforts of the
husbandman. Increased comforts have
come to the home. The national finances
have been strengthened, the public credit
has been sustained and made firmer. In
all branches of industry and trade there
has been an unequaled degree of prosper-
ity, while there has been a steady gain in
the_moral and educational growth of our
national character. Churches and schools
have flourished. American patriotism has
been exalted. Those engaged in maintain-
ing the honor of the flag with such signal
success have been in a large degree spared
from disaster and disease. An honorable
peace has been ratified with a foreign na-
tion with which we were at war, and we
are now on friendly relations with every
power of earth.
The trust which we have assumed for
the people of Cuba has been faithfully ad-
vanced. There has been marked progress
toward the restoration of healthy indus-
trial conditions, and under wise sanitary
regulations the island has enjoyed un-
usual exemption from the scourge of fe-
ver. The hurricane which swept over our
new possession of Porto Rico. destroying
the homes and property of the inhabit-
ants, called forth the instant sympathy of
the people of the United States, who were
swift to respond with generous aid to the
sufferers. While the insurrection still con-
tinues in the island of Luzon, business is
resuming its activity, and confidence in
the good purposes of the United States is
being rapidly established throughout the
archipelago.
For these reasons and countless others
I, William McKinley, president of the
United States, do hereby name Thursday,
the 30th day of November next, as a day
of general thanksgiving and prayer, to be
observed as such by all our people on this
continent and in our newly acquired is—
lands, as well as by those who may be at
sea or sojournng in foreign lands. and I
advise that on this day religious exer-
cises shall be conducted in the churches
or meeting places of all denominations, in
order that in the social features of the
day its real significance may not be lost
sight of, but prayers may be offered to
the Most High for a continuance of the
Divine guidance. without which man’s
efforts are vain, and for Divine consolation
to those whose kindred and friends have
sacrificed their lives for country.
I recommend also that on this day, so
far as may be found practicable, labor
shall cease from its accustomed toil and
charity abound toward the sick, the needy
and the poor. ‘
In witness whereof I have set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed. WILLIAM M’KINLEY.

‘ " 7661ivmcmo ARGUMENT. ,
Some Points Which the Opponents of
Road Improvement Would Do
Well to Consider.
The country roads of the United
tates are probably in worse condi-
ion than in any other thoroughly ‘civ-
ilized country. This is not, due alto-
gether to neglect or lack of material,
but is due somewhat to the undeveloped
condition of the country in general.
The cost of primary transportation, to
the railroads, in rural districts is often
greater than the remaining transpor-‘
tation of hundreds of miles. In many
cases the expense of primary transpor-
tation precludes the possibility of grow-
ing perishable crops. But that is only
one phase of the subject. It is agreed
that man’s social instincts must be fa-
vored and cultivated if he is to keep up
with the advancement of the times.
Bad roads interfere most seriously with
society, education and~religion, and for
this reason if for none other, it will
pay the people of a county, in hard
cash, to repair the roads, or build new
ones. Among other improvements that
follow fast upon the improvements of
country roads is the rural free mail de-
livery. This, with the increased fa-
cilities for traveling and transporta-
tion, and the heightened value of lands,
will certainly repay all trouble and ex-
pense in road-building. The process of
centralizing the country school would
be greatly accelerated by good roads.
Bad roads are the great obstacle, for
as roads are now, hauling the children
to the township center is impossible in
many places. The two—good roads and
centralized schools —- are reciprocal.
The one promotes the other.
of improved roads is the mountain in
the way of realization. But this moun-
tain would become a mole-hill if ap-
proached fearlessly. If the present. gen-
eration would make up its mind to bear
part of the cost and enjoy the bene-
fits, the diificulty would disappear. The
improvement must come, sooner’ or
later. If the farm does not pay part
of the cost. during the father’s lifetime,
it must pay it during the son’s lifetime
and ownership or the grandson’s. Why
wade through mud, yourself, for ten,
20 or 30 years, and then leave your
farm in the mud? You can leave your
children a far better legacy by pro- .
moting this one great improvement,
and you can enjoydts benefits and ad-
vantages yourself. A farmer of our ac—
quaintance recently put up a monu-
ment for himself and wife, with names
and dates of birth all engraved, and
space left for date of death. “It has
to be done,” he said, “and it. must be
paid for by the farm. I think I can do
it now. as well as my children could do
it after I am gone, and perhaps bet-
ter, and at less cost. Besides, I have
the satisfaction of knowing it is done,
and well done.” This is the kernel of
the argument in favor of good roads
improvement—Ohio Farmer.

ease. The boards of each panel overlap,
at one end, the next. panel. A grad-
ually curving corner should be made
with this fence, since at right angles a
slight opening would be left—Orange
Judd Farmer.
Powerful Road Engines.
Mr. John J. 'l‘hornycroft, an English
authority on steam engines, recently
maintained before the British associa-
_tion that road steam engines, by a
slight alteration of the laws, can be so
constructed as to be of the highest
value to trade. lie affirmed they could
be made to carry lpads of 12 tons at
four miles an hour. and that. with tires
of 18 inches width they would not injure
the roads more than horses do, as they
would act as Slt'fllll rollers. Mr. Thor-
uycroit expressed no doubt of the prac-
ticability of his plan and claimed that-
it would work a revolution in agricul-
ture. as it would allow of the free trans-
mission of lime. manure and heavy tim-
ber to points where they might be
needed. The only unsettled point in
1ch problem is the substitution of some
other material for rubber in the tires.
rubber costs too much. It is be-
lieved. however, that. this can be done
by some different treatment of wood.

GEORGIA ms HONOR TO, A HERO.
Enthusiastic Reception In Atlanta.
Congratulatory ‘ Telegram From '
Admiral Dewey—The Brave
Ofilcer’e Modest Speech.
ATLANTA, Oct. 27.——Georgia yester-
day paid tribute to her ranking hero of
the Spanish-American war, Flag Lieu-
tenant Thomas M. Brumby of the Olym-
pia, by the presentation of a handso ‘e
sword in recognition of his notewort y
services at Manila.
The occasion was one which allowed
many thousand citizens of the state to
give vent to their enthusiasm, which be-
gan with the sunrise. At an early hour
the reception committee called on Lieu-
tenant Brumby at the Aragon hotel, and
the carrying out of. the day’s programme
was begun. ' .
The distinguished party drove in car-
riages to the governor’s office at the state
capitol, where Lieutenant Brumby was
received by Governor Candler, United
LIEUTENANT BRUMBY.
States senators and congressmen from
Georgia and visiting senators and repre-
sentatives, the judges of the supreme
bench and other prominent persons. .
At 10:30 a joint session of the Georgia
house and senate was called, and Brum-
by, escorted by the governor and the sen-
ators and congressmen of the state, was
presented to the assembly.
After the presentation in the legisla-
tive hall Lieutenant Brumby was es-
corted by Governor Candler, Mayor
Woodward of Atlanta and others, follow-
ed by the members of the general assem-
bly, to a stand at the Washington street
entrance to the capitol, where the sword
presentation took place. Mayor “700d-
ward presented Clark Howell, who read
the following telegram from Admiral
Dewey:
“I rejoice that the state of Georgia,
which gave such loyal support to the
government during the late war with
Spain, is now honoring one of its most
gallant sons, Lieutenant Brumby. for his
brave and conspicuous services during a
severe period.” ~_
Mr. Howell then introduced Governor
Candler. The chief executive presented
the sword to the lieutenant, and the
cheers were doubled as the latter receiv-
ed the splendid token.
Lieutenant Brumby’s emotion embar-
rassed him for some time. “It is true,”
said he, “i had the fortune of being at
Manila, and however we may differ
about what I did at Manila, my personal
claim is that I did what I could.”
At the conclusion of the ceremonies
here the guest of honor and committee
wont in carriages at the head of the pa-
rude to the reviewing stand at the cor-
ner. of Peach Tree and Ponce de Leon
avenue.
The parade was made up of troops
from Alabama, South Carolina, North
Carolina and Georgia, of civic organiza-
tious and societies, with the guests of
honor in carriages.
The G. A. R. veterans and Sons of
Confederate Veterans were given the po-
sition of honor at the headggfI the pa-
rade. At the reviewing stun, e parade
was reviewed by Governor Candler, with
Lieutenant Brumby as his guest.
Troy Steel Mills to Start Work.
TROY, N. Y., Oct. 27.—The Troy
Times announces it has direct authority
for saying that Troy interests in' the
Troy Steel company have accepted the
proposition of the New York and Boston
stockholders to~join in the expense of re-
suming work at the plant on Breaker is-
land in this city, which has long been
idle. It is expected the blast 'furnaces
and steel mills will be started immediate-
ly. Sixteen hundred men will be em-
ployed. The capacity of the works is 700
tons of basic bessemer steela day, which,
at market rates, would mean an annual
profit of more than $2,000,000. Orders
for 120.000 tons of steel billets and slabs
are guaranteed on resumption.
To Inspect New Troopship.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—-The secre-
tary of war and a number of prominent
officials will leave here tonight for New
York to inspect the United States troop-
ship Thomas, said to be the finest ship of
the kind afloat. Through the state de-
partment an invitation has been extended
to the military attaches of the foreign
embassies and legatio‘ns here to accompa-
ny the secretary and visit the ship. A
special car has been placed at the service
of the party.

“General Cronje.
DESTRUCTION u TOWN PLANNED.
General Symons, Wounded-at Glen-
coc, Is Dead—General Yule, In His
‘Hurried Flight, Leaves Hi-
‘ Wounded With the Boers.
PRETORIA, Oct. 27.—- The secono
day’s bombardment of Mafeking was
worse than the first. The whole' town
seems to be in flames. The Surrey hotel,
which was shattered by a shell on
Wednesday, was struck again and burn-
ed to the ground.
The steeples of three churches are pil-
lars of flame. The English club is de-
stroyed, and the warehouses are in ruins.
The barracks of the Bechuanaland bor-
der police are also gone, and much of the
residence quarter is blazing.
.The old stone fort has been knocked to
pieces. -
The English women and noncombat-
ants who had elected to remain in town
moved out when the place began to burn.
They were not molested.
Between the Boers and the ruins of the
town Colonel Baden-Powell’s 600 colonial
troops and 1,400 irregulars hold their
trenches, and the artillery fire has n01
apparently made any serious impression
on them. It would seem to be General
Cronje’s plan to make Mafeking not
worth holding, rather than attempt to
drive the English from their trenches by
assault, which movement, even if suc-
cessful, could not be done without tre-
mendous sacrifice of life.
GENERAL SYMONS DEAD.-
Refugecs From Dundee Report the
Country Swarming With Boers.
LONDON, Oct. 27.—The death of Gen-
eral Sir William Penn Symons, the Brit-
ish commander at Glcnco‘é‘, who was shot
in the stomach in the battle with the
Boers there Oct. 20, was officially an-
nounced in the house of commons yester-
day.-
The Daily Mail publishes the following
dispatch from Pietermaritzburg, dated
Oct. 24:
“The residents of Dundee had a weary
tramp of 40 miles to the nearest town,
where they arrived in a pitiable plight,
having lost everything. The refugees in-
cluded Mr. Harry Escombe, former pre-
mier of Natal, and the Dundee magis-
'trate.
“One of the Dundee people says that
all day Saturday trains were arriving at
Commandant General Joubert’s head-
quarters at Dannhauser from the Trans-
vaal border, bringing Boers, and that
there must have been 10,000 in the hills
around Dundee. The natives report that
the Boers took 16 wagons laden with
their dead from the field of the first bat-
tle at Glencoe. Among the killed were
several Natal Dutch. A sad feature of
the engagement was that three English-
men who were impressed at Krugersdorp
fought with the enemy, one of them be-
ing killed. The others,~ greatly affected,
said they were compelled to fight.
“The Pietermaritzburg defense corps
paraded yesterday and was assigned a
position in case of attack.”
General White cabled the war office in
regard to the return of General Yule to
Ladysmith from Glencoe that in order to
avoid the risk of life which the long
march would have entailed the wounded
were left by General Yule at Dundee un-
der medical supervision.
General Sir George Stewart White, ac-
cording to a dispatch from Cape Town to
The Daily Mail, will attack the Orange
Free State forces in Natal as soon as
General Yule’s men have rested. Strong
British re-enforcements are being sent up
from the Cape.
The war office has received the follow-
ing dispatch from General White, dated
Ladysmith, Oct. 26:
“z’ 7. "oral Yule’s column has just march-
ed in here after a very hard march dur-
ing a night of exceptionally heavy rain.
The men, though done up, are in good
spirits and only want a rest. The enemy
did not molest them.”
The official announcement of the join-
ing of General White and General Yule
has come as a great relief and all the
more so in view of the fact that later dis-
patches have shown that only the inca-
pacity of the intelligence department of
the Boers saved General Yule’s column
from a great disaster.
It seems that on Friday night Dundee
was full of alarms. Heavy firing was
heard at 1 O’clock and again at 4. A se-
vere thunderstorm soon after stopped the
Boer cannonade. '
. A Narrow Escape.
VALDOSTA, Ga., Oct. 27.——The west
bound passenger train on the Plant sys-
tem, due at 1p. m., was completely
wrecked in the yard here yesterday by
running into an open switch and colliding
with loaded freight cars. The train was
behind time and was running 50 miles an
hour at the time of the accident. The
mail and baggage cars were torn into
splinters, but, miraculously, no one was
hurt. The mail car was thrown com—
pletely through a freight car loaded with,
turpentine. It is thought the accident was
due to a defective switch.
World’s Pacing Record Broken.
BETHLEHEM, Pa., Oct. 27. —The
world’s pacing record for a half mile
track was beaten twice by Prince Aleri
here in the concluding event of the Penn-
sylvania Fair association’s fall meeting.
