By public proclamation, !hs chief ex ecutives, first of the nation and then of the several state, hr. e set apart Thurs day, y-ov. 24'ii, a a day of thanksgiving and prayer. Upon enquiry, w Isarn that tiierc is s rener! intention anions oar business me a to oborve the day by closing their stores, at least during the hours of public worship. We hope tiit this intention is not only general but universal and that none are so bar put to as lo seek an advantage-over their more liberal minded competitors. 'I hanksgiving Day is a purely Amer ican institution. It dates from the year l'i2i whan Win. Bradford, eecoad gover nor of the Plymouth c d-jny, which had Uuiicd ia tha ivced-ng December, re comUiei:oed tho observance of the day in gratitude to Go.l for ihe- first crop of jrain iaiel in their new homo. Tho day was born with tho birth of tho new country and, iike t'n: liberty we enjoy, couirs down to 1,3 f.s a heritaja from oar i'ii:.'iiai L.thers. The observi.nc! however did not be come coni'ii-.-a ami! i!u t;iieo' Pj-c-iiieat V. . ;,;ngtuu cud ever since it has been gaiuing a stronger ho.i, until now the riay is a national holiday, a dies non in ficuni ial circle It is too 0110 of the gratifying evidances of tho growth of a broad national aentitnent in our beloved South-land that tha day, which after the war was rcgardsd as distinctively nortli sru and therefore u:'ivipular,ia becoming wre and more i:e;ierai!r observed. It wiil be notici-1 that liie proclama tisnj issur.i from year to year are in the form of recommendationa. 'f his is aa it ahoul.1 hi. Tho civii power cannot dictate in matters e,f religion. ThePilsrim fathara set sail in the Xtayllower to escape this dictation and we, their unworthy descendants, will not bind oarsoiyes with lha fetters they cast olf I he union of Church and state is done with in America. Ministers of religion have the rights of citizens and these only, and officer of ttie Stte owe to any and all ecclesiastical organizations the same protection without intarferenee with their interna! affair, to Ions these are wit !in bounds. But when the chief executive, instead of commanding, recommead tiie obsarv ance of such a tlay, it is the duty of all good citizens to heed the recommenda tion.

We have noticed in some sections that Thanksgiving Day is regarded by t:;o clergy as ttie one occasion 0 the rear on which they may properly give vent to their political theories We have no dtsire to limit the rights of the clergy, but. it it our pioiouud conriciion that the pulpit is no place for political disserta tions on Thanksgiving or any other day and we feel that tho hih oflice cf the clergy is dishonored wb'-n there iasaea from it a discussion of the affair of t tate in which the clergyman is at least an amateur if not a acioli-t. In other sections, the day is turned into an occasion of j'rav.in:; and hilarity. We l-.svc no wMi to limit thf good cheer and scciil inierc.ouo-.; cf :oe day. but when this lakes the place of the object for which it was appointed, it is thus t pause and reflect. We ars net like the beast whose eyesjare downward, we are not the arbiters of our own dcatinv, the makers of our own fortunes One is over us, even God and it, is meet that we should reverently assemble onrstlres in our reppeetive places of worship on the morning of that day to acknowledge His right in us and our loving, our lo al devo ion to Him.

So-called "Knightly Kickcre," held their first local meeting last night with an at tendance of about fifty regular elec ted delegates present irom five local assembles and self-constituted rep resentatives Iron: twenty more. Charles Seib, Secretary of the pro visional committee appointed by thirty five seceeding delegates of the Minneapolis' general convention of Knights of Labor officiated as chair man and explained the object of the meeting. There were several present who were not in accord with the movement but they were utterly impervious to insinuations that spies were not wanted. In his speech Joseph R. Buchiimian "Head Kick er' declared that (he tiiii,i had come when honest Ktiights of La bor must for a timeat least renounce all allegiance with the corrupt ring that now controls the great and noble order. He stated that it had been found impossible to mentain an ctlective fight from the inside and that the only curse left was to declare open revolt against the pow ers that be. After the usual number ol speeches a committee of five vas appointed directed to send a letter to ali local assemblies in Cook coun ty calling upon them to elect their delegates to the convention to be held on the first Wednesday in De cember. Locals will . bo asked to with-hold from the gunera! treasury all asotBsmsnts due from this time on, the Mcheme being to freeze out General Master Workman Povvder ly.

Since Port Roy al has fallen into the hands of an English syndicate, huge efforts have been made bv them to secure a com peung iino which wouiii revive liie spirit of this old town, find unless Augusta works for the line in all probability Port Royal will be the soun.ern lernnnai. 1 Here are sever al reasors why Augusta should trv and secure the road, among them, that the distance tv Louisville, Ken tucky and the West will he lessen ed one hundred and twenty miles.
