Bom months ago an accomplished gentleman of Charlotte, one of fine ; literary taste and himself a very de lightfu writer-when he will -write , 'Which' he dots all too Infrequently wrote for distribution among about a doles friends a sentiment which lm- pressed very deeply those who have been, allowed to see It. It was not , written with reference to Thanksglv ' Ing Day or with any thought that it .. would eyer find its way Into print; for ' Its writer Is a modest man and does Hot pose before the public eye. A copy of the conception fell Into the hands of the editor of The Observer . who wrung from its writer a reluc , tant consent, to its publication. This ' gained, it was determined to withhold - the Invocation from the press until "the morning of Thanksgiving Day, to Whloh It has peculiar appropriateness, Had it is appended herewith In confl ' dence that the Judgment or the editor touching its fine thought and high merit will be affirmed by every dls , criminating reader: OUR fRICNDS AN INVOCATION Giver of every good and perfect gilt, we desire to thank Thee this day for our friends. Sometimes in our thoughtless ness or in our arrogance we say ; ,we make tbem. Thou makes them, and we meet them on the way. i To those who find few, give the comfort of Thy Spirit, and open their ayes and ears that they may see and hear the tokens of love and sympathy about them; and teach ' us ail to grapple to our souls with '" hooks of steel those whom Thou hast given us. We ask this In the name of Hint who had few while here on earth, who has countless thousands now, ' and yet stands waiting to welcome and comfort all who come unto Him. J. L. CHAMBERS. THE GREATEST OBLIGATION OF ALL. t While the blessings which we as a people have received this year have been rich and manifold, that for sjrhlch many if not the majority of us hould toe chiefly thankful to-day and at all times Is that high heaven has not dealt with us according to our deserts. When one reflects upon the many sins committed, the many wrongs done, the little good accom plished, the many opportunities for service to God and humanity which bave been allowed to pass unim proved; in a word how long the debit and how short the credit account kept With us by the Great Book-Keeper, ths majority of us must stand amased at God's patience and long-suffering. . ''II is not for what He has done for us but for what lie has not done to US that we owe most thanks. . .We thank Him as we should for Ufa and health; for the Increase which the earth has yielded; for ex emption from the "pestilence that walketfa by darkness and the destruc tion that wasteth at noonday;" but be fore, that we should thank Him for not having sent us to hell where, in ths course of strict Justice, we belong. Charlotte has lately gotten a great deal of praise from the outside on ac count Of its entertainment of the convention of mayors and on account of the activities and accomplishments cf the Greater Charlotte Club. This is pleasing and stimulating to our peoploj who -Will try to.

Tho Nw York Sun,, upon whoa literary discrimination, taste and Judg ment wo have always heretofore been able to depend with confidence, has betrayed that faith, and as the result of some sort of mental perversion la able to announce that "as regards ths Southern poetry that has broken Into print of late," It Is inclined to give- Its "preference to Virginia authors. It is true." to quota It further, "that North Carolina runs second by a bare nose the chances are that nine Judges out of ten would not perceive the smallest difference but Virginia's excellence is borne in upon us." Continuing: "We yield to none in admiration of the North Carolina minstrels. For the Bard of the Brushles we have long nursed a sentiment which It were Inadequate to describe as rapturous, and in the matter of the Birea Singer of Hog Elk, to whom we have Just been Introduced, we are conscious of a rising fervor. The Bard hands us this brief , but brilliant scintil lation: " Llnville Bum came out to speak. But LJnvllle Bum, he was too weak Physically. - 'Linvtlle Bum came out to speak. But "bosses' thought he was too weak Mentally. " UnvHle' Bum came out to speak. But Llnville Bum be did not speak Orally.' This Is deep and subtle We follow Bum with almost speechless fervor. But now comes the 'rhythmic, rippling Hog Elk' trovatore: " 'He ran for Congress did Mr. Co wlea. He reared and snorted like warrior bold Hieroglyphlcally. " 'He ran for Congress did Mr. Cowlea, But the folks refused him at the polls Emphatically. " 'He ran for Congress did Mr. Cowles, Like striped chipmunks to their holes Skidoodally. " He ran for Congress did Mr. Cowles, But Hackett beat him to the goal O'erwhelmlngly.' This last, we are pained to have to remark, though written In the past tense, was really an ante-electlon production. It was written In a pro phetic spirit, though In terras as of an event realized. The facts, unhap pily, did not, however, turn out Just that way; but for the purposes of this discussion that 1 neither here nor there. Begging pardon for this In trusion upon the Sun's line of thought, we here permit It to resume: "The Charlotte Observer does not seem to think that the Bard and the Siren Singer are up to the mark set by Miss Mattle Peterson and other accepted mas ters (or mistresses) of the pulsating lyre. That may be considered later. For the present, however, all our tendrils reach out to Andrew Jackson Andrews, the long recognised laureate of Richmond, who has Just warbled to this effect: ' 'Whiskey makes a man a slave. And leads him to an early grave, Tls whiskey that causes ships to sink. By drunken captains, oh! Just think That fills his skin with strong drink. And send souls to a watery grave. Whilst sailing over the mighty waves. 'Tls whiskey that causes the sweetheart To forsake her love and depart: 'TU whiskey that causes man and wife To frequently separate for life. The forger writes another's nam. Caused by whiskey shame, oh! shame And sends him headlong to prison Say, can this crime be forgives By men on earth or angels In heaven? Rival lovers whilst on a spree Kill each other frequently; Drunken parents often slay Their little babes In open day. Bo., gentle folks, I now me thinks The worst of crimes Is caused by drinks. Why then should we whiskey drink? JOst think, oh, think. The bitter cup of misery It brings. To destruction our happiness fllnga. Crimes from drink would nil a book That would reach from Richmond to Sandy Hook.' "Possibly we sre Influenced by the vital bearing of this flood of melody on a topio of Immediate and burning interest, hut we think not. It seema to us that An drew Jackson Andrews has sounded the very finest note of modern times." It is undeniable that In accuracy of statement Andrew Jackson Andrews has the Minstrel of Hog Elk beat a block and that as a spokesman for the Moral Forces and a swatter of the Morally Stunted he out-ranks both him and the Bull of the Brushles; but we solemnly affirm that as poet and the quality of poetry Is the subject he is not in the class of our new North Carolina favorites. The Sun itself would, but for its pride of opinion. admit this when its mind is again en throned. This, however, aside, of the supremacy of North Carolina In the poetical Armament we shall presently convince it. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. The Observer, referring, of course, to the recent statement of Dr. Stiles, of the Marine Hospital Service In regard lo health conditions In North Carolina, remarked that our people are curious, in that when an outsider suggests a deficiency or Imperfection among us "we swell up about it and abuse him," and The Monroe Journal makes the paragraph the subject, of this observation: "We all have sinned. Has even Tha Observer the right to throw the first stone It who so valiantly set upon the efforts of the 'Conference for Education' that thought It saw a chance to help, and did help, the cause of education In the South: it. who points the finger of scorn at the good intentions of the outsiders who now and then think they see a need for better conditions In our cotton mill sections? Not carplngly, but honest and straight can our contemporary throw the first stons at the balance of us?" It occurs to us that there Is a good deal of difference between suggestions concerning the public health, made by a government official, co-operating with an Executive commission, ap pointed to consider the very subjects that Dr. Stiles talked, about, and a self-constituted "conforeneo which comes to patronise us, pity us and sivo money to educate our children, who are our own peculiar responsibilities, or that set of Pharisee who come to teach us humanity when tha real spring of their1 action' Is their pro pensity to meddle with other people's business.

" , Tho Wall Street Journal, discussing jthe rsoent campaign expenditures of tho two political parties, those of tho Republicans fl.tSMU and ,f ths Democrats' f fM 41.000.008 , less remarks that "this la a large gum, but it is not large enough -to give Mr. Bryan ths opportunity to assert that his defeat was ths result of the use of money." Which Is Tory true, and it says further that "as a matter of fact tho campaign funds of this year were much less than In tho three previous campaigns, a fact that should be the occasion of public rejoicing,' and It Is largely do to tho new pub licity of campaign receipts and ex penditures. For this reform Mr. Bryan Is entitled to ft large share of credit." Then come this statement and remarkable proposition: "It Is to be noted that among the large disbursements of the Democratic oommlt tee was that due to the cost ef postage, amounting to fff.i&Z. It might be well worth while to consider whether It would not be proper for the government to re lieve the campaign committees of the ex pense of sepdlng campaign literature through the mall. This Is a service of education tor the people, and it la in the line of a proper publicity, and In this way the government could reduce the ex pense of conducting campaigns. Indeed It might go step further and permit of the printing of campaign documents at the Government Printing Office. Of course proper restrictions would have to be made, but inasmuch as this is a public service it might property be made a pub lic expense." JPor heaven's sake, No. There Is every year a large deficit in the Post office Department; this year larger than ever before. Enough free stuff Is already sent out in campaigns under the franks of Congressmen. Let the contributors to political parties pay all campaign expenses not the whole public any part of them. If the politicians were given free run of the malls for a period of four months In every campaign they would be so congested hfy partisan rubbish as to seriously Interfere with the operation of the service. This sug gestion and that that the Govern ment Prlntfng office print all cam paign documents free are monstrous, and we could not believe that they are submitted seriously except that The Wall Street Journal Is a serious minded paper. THE WHOLE BTORY. It is worth while to repeat, for the sake of emphasis, all of the story told In yesterday's dispatches of the hear ing before the committee in Wash ington Tuesday relating to the tariff on glass and glassware: "W. L. Kann, of the Penn American Plate Olass Company, on behalf of eleven plate glass companies, asked for an In crease In the duty on plate glss. Rep resentative Boutell. Of Illlnolfc, questioned the witness as to whether the American laborer would benefit from an Increase in the tarlfT and when Informed that he would not, Mr. Boutell said: " 'For three weeks this committee has conducted these hearings and all those who appeared betore it did so volun tarily. No one was asked. The testimony la uniformly shewn that Increased duties will not accrue to the benefit', of the laborer, and that a decrease In the duties will not accrue to the benent of the ultimate consumer. It seems that no matter what w do, f we raise or lower the tariff. It will only benefit one class, to which you belong,' " 'The pour manufacturer,' suggested Mr. Kann. " Precisely.' rerlied Mr. Boutell. I want to know what will be accomplished by a revision of the tarlfT.' Kepresen tutlve Pou, of North Carolina, secured the admission from Mk Kann that the eleven plate glass companies he repre sented endeavored to put up the prices of glass t the same tune." This tells the tale. It Is seen by the statement of a Republican Repre sentative anl the confession of the glassware representative that the tariff beneficiaries do not propose that either the laborer or the cus tomer but only themselves shall profit by tarlfT revision. With good reason, therefore, does Mr. Boutell. "want to know" what good .except to the manufacturer Is to come of this sort of revision. The case does not need argument. The Norfolk Landmark stands ready to cuss out and quit. "The Bryan business," it says, "has become a farce, unworthy of serious men, and this paper does not Intend to be drag ged Into It again." There are others. When it comes to the Jumping off place our Norfolk contemporary will not And itself alone. Cannon will no doubt be re-elected Speaker of the House but there will be comfort in the knowledge that he had to bow his stiff neck in order to win. To put it another way, the President-elect haa brought hlro to his knees and put tho tariff revision saddle on him. A Mississippi mob frankly admitted on Monday last that It had lynched altogether the wrong negro on the Bunday before. Polite mobs varia bly apologise when they make a mis take of thfs awkward though unim portant natura However, for all that the re quirements, of decency arising from exposures forced a promise from Chairman Cortelyou, the famous Re publican campaign fund of 1194 has never yet been .officially ventilated.' , Dr., Cyrus Thompson .is the star correspondent in this morning's paper. - . i - r Thanksgiving at .

BROKE CONTRACT LABOR LAW'. Department of Oonomerca and Labor Alleges That Laborers Were Im ported by Flrtta Carpet Company Under Illegal Arrangement- Caui nany Had, Advanced Money as aa Inducement to Foreign- Born Wholesale Deportation, or law- Breakers to Follow. Washington, Nov. 25.- A sweeping deportation' of violators of the con tract labor laws has been ordered by the Department of Commerce and Labor. Fifty-three persons, oither contract laborers or dependents, who came to this country under an al leged unlawful arrangement with the Firth Carpet Company, located at Firth Cllffe, N. Y have been ordered to be returned to their homos In England and Scotland. The cases of many others, now are under con sideration, but no final disposition has been made of them. The De partment of Justice has ths prosecu tion of tho Firth Carpet Company, for violation of the contract tabor laws, under advisement. It was charged in a report to the Department of Commerce and Labor last Juno that the Firth Carpet Com pany had violated the contract labor law. The department in a statement to-day says that after examination of various employes of tho concern It was convinced that wholesale lm portaflons of laborers had been ef fected. In course of the examination some half-dosen aliens arrived at New York, all destined to Firth Cliffa Thejrwere ordered to be deported. Subsequently on the report 'of the In vestigating officers, 18 persons were ordered arrested. They Included con tract laborers and their immediate families. Flrt hCUffe is a small village in Orange county, New York. Tho Firth Carpet Company employs 600 men, a large percentage of whom are ex perienced tapestry workers, having received their training In English and Scotch' carpet mills. Ths depart ment claims in Its statement that the books of the company show that from 1902 to 1908 over $4,410 ' had been advanced to aliens to enable them to migrate to Firth Cliffa ' Promulgating- Proper Sunday Observ ance.

County Newa Last spring Messrs. John M. Wads worth. W. J. wadsworth, P. A. Fish er, J. H. Forbls, 8. J. Forbls and B. D. Caviness entered into a friendly riv alry or contest to see which could make the largest yield of corn on one acre this year. They measured up a short time ago and It was found that Mr. J. M. Wads worth was the successful contestant, having gathered from, his prise acre 103 tt-li bushels. Some of the other contestants produced 1 upwards of ninety bushels to the acre, all of which were fine yields. Mr. Wadsworth planted the South ern ProUflo corn, one of the best va rieties. . Let's see how well it paid Mr. Wads worth to grow this prise acre of corn: Income: By 102 M bu. corn at 85c..$87.2 ' 800 bundles fodder at lo. 8.00 " shucks 8.00 Total Income 188.21 Expenses: Fertilisers 127.60 Planting and cultivation .. .. 5.75 Total expense 888.21 Net income 816.01 In addition to this he gets a year's subscription to The News free. Mr. Wadsworth is one of the very best farmers in the State, and we venture the assertion that no other farmer in the county made near so large a profit on an acre of farm pro ducts. Intensive farming Is the thing, and we have other good farmers who can do nearly aa well as Mr. Wadsworth. SCR. BRYAN'S VOTE. The Plurality Against Him Increases Each Time He Run a. Nashville American. For a dosen years Mr. Bryan has had a wonderfully strong hold on the American people, or a number there of, but the vote he has received Indi cates that his popularity has waned. In 1898 he was defeated by a popular plurality of 001,854. In 1800 ths popular plurality against him was 849,T0. This year it is 1.100,000. In several States he ran behind the State ticket. The combined pluralities against the State tickets amount to a lUtle over 400,000, or 700.000 less than the plurality against Mr. Bryan. The plurality vote against him in his third race Is 500,000 more than it was in his first race. He has a following that adhres to him through thlok and thin, but he haa lost many followers, and In-the last campaign many sup ported him who nad never done so before, while many who had been his supporters declined to vote for him. For a man who has met only defeat in his whole career as a National leader, Mr. Bryan's popularity and In fluence have been wellaustalned, but the figures Indicate their decline. A Happy Old Party. Washington Post. Commenting upon Mr. Bryan's manifesto in The Commoner. The Nashville Banner is moved to say: "If the policies were sound, the candidate was deficient. The policies were near ly all of the candidate's making, and by them and other extreme doctrines he did not put Into the platform he was mostly Judged." After a citation of the fact that (Mr. Bryan ran 180.000 votes behind the Democratio State ticket In New York, 95.000 in Ohio, 80,000 in Indiana, 10.000 In Michigan, 150.000 in Illi nois, 100,000 In Minnesota, and behind the Democratio ticket in his own State, The Banner continues: L ."The Democratio party will have to abandon all the distinctly Bryan doc trines as completely as it has aban doned free silver, and return to its old-time safe bails as a conservative party- and defender of a strict con struction of the constitution before It can again hope to elect a President," PLAIN WORDS AS TO ICR, BRTAX A Disarasted Contemporary i Notice) That It Is No Going, a Step Further. : -o , . , .'...: - : j'?wi Norfolk Landmark.
