GIVE THANKS Thursday, November 30th b the Day Set Apart THE PROCLAMATION ISSUED Reciting the Origin of the Custom Among the Early Settlers, the Pres ident Asks That The People Ob serve the Day by Thanksgiving For the Past and Prayer for the Fu ture. Washington, SpecialThe Presi dent has issued his proclamation naming Thursday, November 30th next as a day for thanksgiving. The proclamation follows: By the President of the nited States of America, a Proclamation. When, nearly three centuries ago, the first settlers came to the country which has now become this great re public, they fronted not only hard ships but terrible risk to their iives. In those giim years the custom grew of setting apart one day in each year for a social service of thanksgiving to the Almighty for preserving the people through the changing seasons. The custom, has now become national and hallowed by immemorial usage. We live in easier and more plenti ful times than our forefathers, the men who with rugged strength faced the iu trued davs: and vet "the dan gers to national life are quite a great now as at any previous time in our history. It is eminently fitting that once a year our people should set apart a day for praise and thanks giving to the Giver of good, and, at the same time, that they express their thankfulness for the abundant mercies received, should manfully acknowledge their shortcomings and pledge themselves solemnly and in good faith to strive to overcome them. During the past year we have been blessed with bountiful crops. Our business prosperity has been great. No other people has ever stood on as. high a level of material well-being as ours noAV stands. We are not threat ened by foes from without . The foes from whom we should pray to be de livered are our own passions, ap petites and follies; and against these there is always need that we should war. Therefore, I now set apart Thurs day, the 30th day of this November, as a Day of Thanksgiving for the past and of prayer for the future, and on that day I ask that through out the land the people gather in their homes and places of worship, and in rendering thanks unto the Most High for manifold blessings of the past year, consecrate themselves to a life of clenliness, honor and wisdom, so that this nation may do its allotted wcrk on the earth in a manner worthy of those who founded it and of those who preserved it. In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this second day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and five, and of the independ ence of the United States the one hundred and thirtieth. (Seal) THEODORE ROOSEVELT. By the President. ELIHU ROOT, Secretary of State.

Not a State in the South has made rreatcr research into the industry and irt of ilk production a North Caro inn, and for more than five years State Biologist Gerald McCarthy ha been experimenting ou a large scale with every variety, many of these hav ing been imported from France, Eng land, and China. The work of Mr. McCarthy baa ben eminently huccessful, and he has made several valuable discoveries in his method of breeding and produc tion, as well as of growing of suitable trees. The State Department of Agricul ture has made many distributions of mulberry trees, and lat week Biolo gist McCarthy announced the lat dis tribution in the following circular letter: "'The North Carolina Iepartmcnt of Agriculture will, beginning Novem ber loth, distribute among the farmers of the State 20,000 seedling mulberry trees. This distribution is intended to encourage the growing of s:lk in North Carolina, but the trees will at the same time furnish fhade and food for poultry and hogs. Every man in the State should have a mulberry grove. The t trees should be planted 12x12 feet on dry soil and cared for like peach or plum trees. "These trees will be sent by mail, post paid, in packages of 50 and 100. Not less than 50 nor more than 100 tress will be sent to one address. To cover cost of packing and mailing applicants must enclu.se 1 cent for eaeh tree. Postuge stamps accepted.

"Those who have not tried silk growing should send for a copy of Bulletin 181. Kaolin in Cleveland. Shelby, Special. In mining for monazite in the neighborhood of Dou ble Shoals, 12 miles above Shelby, a fine quality of kaolin has been found in sufficient quantities to justify the establishment of a plant for getting out the same.

As only natural fcas flan be used for burning the finest ah in a, the clay has to be shipped Vp East Liverpool, Ohio, that being the only place in this country, where gas is found in sufficient quantities for the purpose. As oil has been found in small quantities on both sides of the Blue Ridge Mountains as far south as Rutherford ton, it is not improba ble that we may have an "East Liv erpool" within our own borders at no distant day. Mr. McMaster, of Vir ginia, who owns the mine, is exhibit ing some pieces of very fine china which was made from this Cleveland county dirt. High Point Fire. High Point, Special. The Lindsay Chair Company's plan suffered a loss by fire of $1,000 or more. A few minutes past 7 o'clock the alarm was sounded and when ten minutes later the fire was thought to have been put out and people were returning home, a second alarm w'as given and the flames were seen to leap upwards in great volumes. The fire originated in the engine room, where several boiler makers were at work, the factory hav ing been closed down on that account. The damage by water is the heaviest, the whole building, machinery, cabinet and engine rooms being flooded. The loss may probably exceed the figures riven. The fire will not necessitate a lUr.l down but a day or so of the plant, as the wheels will commence to revolve again next week. State News in Brief. W. J.
