A year ago our people poured out their hearts in praise and thanksgiving that through divine aicl the right was victorious and-pence had come to na tions which had so courageously struggled in defense of human liberty and justice. Now that the stern task is ended and the fruits of achieve ments are ours, we look forward with confidence to the dawn of an era where the sacrifices of the nation will find recompense in a world at peace "But to attain the consumation of the gf eat work to which the American people devoted their manhood and the vast resources of their country they should, as they give thanks to God, reconsecrate themselves to those prin ciples of right which triun:-)!1 2d ' through His merciful goodness.

"During the past year we have had much to make us grateful. In spite of the confusion in our economic life re sulting from the war we have prosper ed. Our harvest has been plentiful and out of our abundance we have been able to render succor to less favored nations. Our democracy re mains unshaken in a world torn with political and social unrest. Our tradi tional ideals are still our guides in the path of progress and civilization. "These great blessings thus vouch- edsafe to us, for which we devoutly give thanks, should arouse us to a fuller sense of our duty to ourselves and to mankind to see to jt that nothing we may do shall mar the com pleteness of the victory we helped to' win. jno semsn purpose animated us in becoming participants in the World War, and with a like spirit of unself ishness we should strive to aid by our example and by our co-operation in realizing the enduring welfare of all peoples and in bringing into beaing a world ruled by friendship and good wilL 4 Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States 1 of America, hereby designate Thursday, the 27th day of November next, for observance as a day of thanksgiving and prayer by my fellow countrymen, inviting them to cease on that day from their ordinary tasks and to unite in their homes and in their several places, of Worship in ascribing praise and thanksgiving to God,7 the Author of all blessihgs and the'Master of our destinies, "j w - ', ' " Ato witness whereof I have here unto set myihand and caused the seal efj-the United States to be afflited. -"Done, in the'Diatrict of Columbia. thia fifth day of November in the year Summey.

A jnotion was also heard for the dismissal of some 20 to 30 cases brought in the court here by parties residing in South Carolina, for . alleged damages to their lands caused by the breaking of the dam at Lake Toxaway in 1916.
