Governor Calls On Georgians
To Celebrate ThanKsgiving Day
UNITY THE KEY NOTE,
Conforming to a custom, 8s old
almost as the history of the
American nation, Governor Brown
Wednesday morning issued the
aanual Thanksgivingproclamation.
Ia this proclamation the governor
departs from the usual stereopty
ped form common to such docu
ments and writes 8 most interest
ing paper. One of the most sig
nificant paragraphs in the procla
mation is shat which declares that
dissension has not divided Geor
gians into hostile camps, but that,
rather. ‘‘the sons of our common
wealth have more nearly smooth
«od the asperities that have forced
them apart than has been their
ot for years.
Following is the proclamation:
*‘November 1, 1912.
“Whereas during the passing
year our Heavenly Fatber has
preserved us and blessed us beyond
our deserts with the fruits of His
grace.
“With plenteous rains He has
restored the equilibrium of nature
and prepared us against the fear
of scorching drouths in the seasons
o! the pending year.
*“The orops now being garnered
are His warrant that we shall have
food for man and beast; with cot
ton with grain and hay, and with
other products for domestic con
sumption and with daily employ
ment in the cities, He has taugnt
that he who works shall live and
be happy.
“Qur people have many and
varied blessings for our lips should
send forth songs 0. thanksgiving.
We have gained knowledge in in
creasing the products of the soil.
No pestilence bas iuflicted us. The
ghastly hand of war bas not seiz
od our bravest and best. Panic has
not spread Its blight over com
merce. Dissension bas not divid
ed us into hostile camps; Day,
gather, the sons of our commoz*

wealth have more nearly moothed
the aperities that had formed them
apart than had been their lot for
years. (God grant that ibe woo
ing of His Holy Spirit way in
this harvest season draw ail our
souls into the fold of mutual tole
‘ration and accord.
’ “In view therefore of the boun
ties of His grace and of the joyous
promise of good government in
our own state and of this great
republic,
I, Joseph M. Brown governor
of the state of Georgia do issve
this my proclamation naming
Thursday November 28th, 1912, a
day of thanksgiving and prayer;
and I hereby call upon our people
throughout this state to join on
that day in giving thanks to Al
mighty God for His manifold
mercies to us. ‘
“‘Let us therefore turn from our
labors on that day and assemble in’
houses of worship to joio with
grateful hearts in t.hanksgivingj
and prayer to “Him who is all
things through Himself by whomg
in whom we are torough whom we
live. |
“And while we are giving’
thanks for blessings veuchsafed to
ourselves let us seek out the needy |
the helpless, the disconsolate, the“
fatherless and orphan and extend
to them such help as will bring
joy and fuliness to their hearts,
ever remembering that to these as
to us is the divine promise, ‘‘the
eternal God is thy refuge and un
‘derneath are the everlasting arms,
“In witness whereof I have
hereunto set my hand ana caused
the seal of the executive depart
ment to be attached.

‘Motorcycle Races Yes
| terday Were Great.
‘ The motorcycle races yester
day at the fair grounds proved
to be the most interesting event
of the opening day. Two pow
erful Indian-racing machines,
mounted by Frank Schmitz and
L. L. Dickerson competed for
the laurels in the five mile race.
The contest was exeiting and
chock full of interest from the
word go. Dickerson took the
!lead from the start to the fifth
lap, when his machine ran off
Ithe track on_one of the curves
and Schmitz took the lead before
'the fast little racing machine
could get straightened out. The
race was in doubt up to the very
end, when Schmitz crossed the
finish line bare two feet in the
lead. The time for the five miles
was 7:05, which is exceptionally
good considering the condition
of the track, which was only
completed a day before the open
ing of the Fair,
These races are being put on
by local boys, and they promise
something interesting and full of
excitement every afternoon.
A one mile race, running start,
and five mile rage: for which
there are four entries, will be
the program for tomorrow. If
you care for the most exciting
sport in the world don’t miss
these races.

Facts About the South
I am a South Carolina farmer.
I have 320 aeres in North Da
kota. I have lived in this state
about three years. 1 sold out a
good paying business in lowa to
‘come to South Carolina and live
on my farm. The reason why I
did it is simple : In lowa land
is selling at from $lOO to 150 an
acre. The average yield of oats
is 40 to 50 bushels per acre: corn
‘about the same, and a* the pres
lent prices the average return
[per acre—oats, 24 cents; corn 35
| —is only $l3 to $l7. I was pay
ing $2.25 to 2.75 per day for
‘common labor and $25 to 30 per
‘month and feed a horse on the
farm. Here I pay 50c. a day on
‘the farm and a dollar in my saw
mill. Ordinary cotton land costs
from $2O to 46 per acre; and on
an acre of cotton, not the best,
but the average, after cost for
picking and ginning is deducted,
one year's [profit pays for the
land.
My timberis giving mea profit
of twenty to thirty dollars per
acre, and the first vear after
clearing in peas and corn gave
me about the same as timber.
The second year it will make
from thirty to forty-five dollars
clear if planted in cotton.——H. C
