Georgia Gave Democratic
Majority of 25,000.
Atlanta, Nov. 4—Practically
complete returns from all parts of
Georgia indicate that Bryan, in
Tuesday’s election, swept the
State by a majority of between
twenty and thirty thousand votes
over the combined opposition, in*
eluding Taft, Watson, Hisgen,
Ohafin and Debs. He appears to
have a plurality of 45,000 over
Taft, and a plurality of about 60,
000 over Watson.
Returns indicate that .approxi¬
mately 185,000 votes were polled
in the State. Watsou’s vote is
regarded as surprisingly small, es¬
pecially in view of his energetic
efforts on the stump. He made
scores of speeches and exerted the
hardest kind of personal elfort.
His vote seems to be less than it
was four years ago, and four years
ago he did not make a personal
canvass of the State.
It is also a noteworthy fact that
two of Watson’s strongholds went
for Taft, which would indicate
that his campaign helped the Re¬
publican candidate, as was al¬
leged. Taliaferro and Forsyth
counties, both looked upon as
Populistic in their tendencies,
gave pluralities to Taft.
Thanksgiving Day.
Every year as the time draws
near for the thanksgiving Day
celebration, some one—who
ought to have known long ago—
come’s with the question, “what
is the day; when was it first cele¬
brated?”
So, draw up your chair to the
fire, and I’ll tell if you’ll follow
me closely.
In the late autumn of the year
1620, after the shining maize, the
peas, and the barley of a crop of
unusual yield had been gathered
and placed into winter store,
when the crackling log blazed on
the dearth in the cabins of the
colony of Plymouth, Gover¬
nor Bradford ordered a feast day,
in which to thank God for his
merciful bounty and blessings of
the year passed by. Hunters
went forth into the forrest and
came back unscratched with their
spoil of ducks, turkeys, geese,
pigeons and deer for the festive
repast of the first Thanksgiving
Day.
the p^lham j , lxal, Friday, nov. q, iaos
nmjBMnM
The net instance history
cords of such a celebration <
curred in 1681. The people were
about to starve, despairing of the
arrival of an escaped vessel brii g
ing food, and had set apart a dav
for fasting and prayer. The
ship came in, however, and lvap
pily changed the occasion into
one of great praise and rejoicing.
The dutch, after a victory over
the Indians in 1644, were, through
their governor, Keipt, the first
outside colonists to adopt the
day.
Not until President Washing¬
ton in 1775, through the Conti¬
nental Congress, gave orders that
all should celebrate Thanksgiv¬
ing, was it commemorated by
every one of the colonies.
President Lincoln in 1868, first
designated a special day when he
issued a Thanksgiving proclama¬
tion, appointing the last Thurs¬
day in November for a general
celebration.
And today, as a nation, let us
not be less ardent, in ®ur thank
offering and praise, than were
our forefathers in the day of the
trying times in Plymouth. We
have all attained much in the in¬
terim between their day and ours, j
and should thaks God according-j
ly for our extension, prosperous
country, its numberless cities and 1
towns, with their millions of |
souls and magnificent temples of,
worship; our schools, laws, relig-|
ions and science; our literature,;
arts, and inventions. Our bless¬
ings are countless; God’s bounty
is boundless.—Ettie Ashbe.y
