THANKSGIVING DAY.
Proclamation by the Governor of
North Carolina.
While the excessive rains
have damaged our crops, and
twice during the year the public
peace was marred by acts of
lawlessness, yet our manifold
blessings have so far surpassed
our temporary ill that they call
to us for thanksgiving and
prayer.
The per of increase
in the State in-
educationally, and
has been phenomenal,
far exceeded our fondest
hopes The prices of farming
and trucking lands have largely
increased in value Industrial
enterprises are being rapidly de-
throughout the State
and are paying dividends.
Peace and good-will now exists
between labor and capital; no
pestilence or scourge has visit-
ed our State, and with the above-
two exceptions law and order
have been maintained
Our educational progress is a
source of congratulation, as long-
terms, more efficient teach-
better school houses and
equipment mark a new and pro-
period in our school life,
while the growing and
religious spirit of our people
moral condition never be-
fore witnessed. Thus in things
material and things moral, we,
as a State, have prospered
the past year as never before
and it is therefore appropriate
that a certain day be set apart
for praise to the Supreme Ruler
of the Universe for the blessings
so abundantly given.
Therefore, that all shall have
an opportunity of showing their
gratitude, I, B. Glenn, Gov-
of North Carolina, join
with the President of the United
Slates in fixing Thursday,
29th day of 1906, as a
day of general rejoicing and i
thanksgiving, during which day
for past mercies may
given and requests for future
guidance made.
On this day I ask our people,
s far as is practicable, to
pend all business and ant
holiday, and to assemble at
o'clock at their places of
ship and offer up thanks to God
for His numerous blessings, and
to consecrate themselves afresh
to His service, and to the
and building up of the
State.
I likewise ask the ministers of
churches on that J day to es-
hold up before the
the blessings to come from a
life of soberness and industry,
peace and good order, and by
freely giving to the cause of
charity, thus making us more
loyal citizens and better Chris-
I also implore all while enjoy-
their holiday, to do nothing
that will tarnish the fair name
of the State or dishonor God, but
that all they do may increase
