day is observed throughout the
United btates as the day on which j
the nation returns thanks to the ,
Giver and Creator of all things-, Keys, S. C.
It is a beautiful custom and we Mr. R. K. Arnold, who ha?
should be thankful, among other- heen employed as salesman ir.
things, that we live in a country I the "r'n hosiery Co.. store.has
, , - . accepted a position with a whole-

The United States, as a nation, j
has much to be thankful for.
Contrast the nation in the wild-;
erness on its first Thanksgiving,
Day with the one of today. From I
a few square miles of civilization
we have grown to be one of the
greatest nations on the globe.
That we owe all of our greatness
to God we realize; and to return
thanks, as a nation, to Him, we i
should. May the nation ever
realize its debt to the Giver of all
blessings and prosperity.

Hendersonville, Nov- 18 The
finishing house of the Skyland
Hosiery Mill at Fiat Rock, and a
small ware-house adjacent there
to, were totally destroyed by lire
ac an early hour today. The lost
is about J5-75.000, with an insur
ance of three-fourths.
The finishing mill was a 75x150
feet brick structure, two stories
high There was much stock in
progress of manu facture and such
inflammable material in the build
in o . The watchman discovered
smoke issuing from it at 5 a. m.
and in an hour and a quarter all
that was left was two of the brick
walls, partially ruined. The em
ployes turned out in force and
fought the flames stubbornly,
with an adequate water supply
and good pressure; but it was
blowing a regular gale from the
north, and the progress of the
flames could hardly be checked
much loss, arrested,. Woods to
the south a mile away was Ered
by spark s from the conflagration.
Indeed, it was with difficulty
that the other part of the fact
ory, the knitting mill, was saved,
although the direction of the
wind wasfavorable.The twostruc
tures were about 25 feet apart,
and connected by a gangway.
The origin of the fire is not
(certainly known. However, last

weather; it is such autumn nights
that dry out deflective flus of

The burning of the finishing
mill throws about 100 people out
of employment. The knitting
mill will be closed down for a
few days.
