~ost1s a Good Thing to Give Thanks
Unto the Lord.�"¥Fs. 92.1
Tomorrow 1s Thanksgiving Day, a
cay set apart by the President of our
Natien and the Governor of our Stat®
in keeping with the ancient custom of
having a fixed day upon which all can
return thanks to the Giver of all good
tor the blessings of the year bestowed
upon usasa Na.ion ard people. As
individuats no day should pass over our
heads upon which we fail to thank
~God for His blessings and mercies, yet
it is fit that there be one day upon
which we as a Nation"the greatest
upon the earth"acknowledge Him to
be our ruler and recognize Him as the
bountiful source whence cometh all our
blessings. Let the mind of gratitude,
praise and thanksgiving be in us all.
And in the undst of our joy lec not the
widow aud orphan be forgotten.
Every one who will give a few mo"
ments tou personal examination will be
forced to contess that the individual
blessings received during the year have
far exceeded what has been deserved.
Such a feeling should make each one
humbly grateful to Our Father tor His
blessings.
Greenville as a town has great cause
for thanksgiving. Under the Provi-
dential ordering of things material our
people «t one time with acking hearts
stood and viewed a large portion of the
vusiness section of the town in ruin,
yet, before the year comes to a close,
Pheonix bas arisen from the ashes and
we are permitted to see the places once
devastated now adorned with buildings
more stately and beautiful thanbetore»
and the town making greater strides pro-
gressiveward than at any time within
its history. Such blessings should not
pass by unnoticed.
The Reriector feels that it is not
without abundant cause for thanksgiv-
iny. Through the country over this
hus been one of the hardest of years
financially, and in common with other
businesses we have more than once
found the times almost painfully cl s¢
and trying, yet by the aid of Him who
said oI will be to thee a help in time
of need� we have been enabled to
weather every storm, to surmount ey-
ery difficulty, and to meet every obliga-
tion.

Let every business house close to-

First Taste of Russe!llism,
Macon, N. C., Nov. 22,_-The white
people of this county have recently had
another example of Russellism and ne-

John Milani colored, in consequence of
which J. M. Coleman immediately
knocked the regro down with his fist,
Several days ago the negro made com"
plaint to John Wright, a colored jus"

a negro deputized to serve it. Mr. Cole-
man was arrested by the negro consta"
tlemen enga ed in the mercantile busi-
ness at Churcbill. He is the sou of
Capt. W. G. Coleman, formerly a mem-

this kind which has occurred in this

ogTBICT HONESTY �T
T sometime wonder, if there is
any strictly honest people. The
great bulk of people I suppose,
are honest as we regard the gen-
eral acceptation of the term hon-
esty; butthat does not measure
up tothe true standard of strict
honesty by a good deal.
There are plenty of people who
under no considerations would
ateal money from your pocket,
who woud not hesitate to skin
you like old Nick, in a horse swap,
by withholding the age or the
qualities of their horse. There
| are people who 1f they find they
~~, haye received tao much from you
Ras
or paid you too little ina business
transaction would never rest un-
til they haveseen you and recti-
fied the mistake, and yet many
gach people would not hesitate to
gell you (if you did not know the
difference) a bushel of Bohama
potatoes for tine Norton. yams,
and would seil you for your
thanksgiving dinner, as one of
lasi spring brood, a turkey that
had scratched up their garden
seed for the past four seasons.
If you were to tell one of these
people that they were not honest
you would have a row on your
* hands at once, bat 1f you come
right downto strictly pure un-
adulterated honesty they lack a
good deal of filling the bill.
Our recognized standard of hon
esty 1s too low. The man who
2 knowirgly by misrepresentations
fleeces you in a tiade, has but little
more claim to honesty, than the
one wo steals the watch or money
from your pocket."oUncle Jeeus,�
in Goldsboro Sunbeam.
In bis speech at Bobtown Monday
night Seuator Sigmon is reported as
having said that obat three negroes
voted the democratic ticket in Hickory
this year and that they ought to be
kicked out of bed by their wives.�
The Republicans, around Hickory get
"mhad and seem to wanteto fight when
a Democrat mentions negro an ~their
presence, but it is all right for one of
~ their leaders and try to stir up race
prejudice. Conceding
that a negro
owho votes the Democratic ticket should
be kicked out of bed by his wife, what
should be done with the white man
who voted the Reupblican ticket with
_ the negroes? And if the three nesroes
_. in Hickory who voted the Democratic
ticket are a disgrace to the otaer hun-
dred and thirty or more of their race,
_ who voted for McKinley, what are the
comparatively small namber of white
men who voted against their color and
, Kindred and with the blacks? As long
_» the negroes are solidly arrayed, in
one political party the whites should be
ited ~against them, and when the
color line is drawn by them or , their
eaders it should be drawn bv the Cau-

Against Their Interests
The Witmington Messenger 1s
evidently trying to get a parcel
of politicians out of their jobs.
Hear it.
Let us have a very active cam-
paign in this State for the next
four years cf food raising. Let
thers be a regular campaign for
pork and beans, hog and hominy,
meat and greens. Make your
home supplies if you do not
make money. You will not starve
under gold and a high tariff tax
if you work industriously, save a)!
you can, raise all you eat, and
keep out of debt. Give politics a
rest'and keep to the plough and
the hoe.
If this advice were taken a mul-
titude of leeches who have fas-
tened upon the people and are
fattening upon their discontent
would have to stop , making
speeches for a living and knuckle
down to honest labor themselves.
Industry and economy avert debt
and insures to him who practices
them enough to eat and wear and
a shelter for his head. This is
about the most that lifs affords
to anybody, and he who is sur-
rounded by these conditions
ought not to be an easy victim of
the demagogue. ~I'he truth is, he
will not be for long; the cry of
calamity will fall on dull ears in
his cuse; and that is why we say
the Wilmington Messenger in ad-
yising folks to brace up and go to
work, support themselves and
keep out of debt, is operating
very seriously against the inter-
est of the latter day politician,
who will have to go out of busi-
ness when the people become
contented again." Charlotte Ob-

Important New Discoveries Rolat-

Much Interest. Excited Among Astrone-
mers by Recent Observations
Made at the Lowell
Observatory.
TRAINS GOINS SOUTH.
Dated
June lith
1896,
ame Te RT pe ae tem
The observers at the Lowell observa-
tory find that Mereury and Venus ro-
tate on their axis once during their rev-
olution about the sun. Venus is yot
cloud-covered, as has been supposed,
but is veiled in an atmosphere, but Mer-
eury is. not.
| This oficial dispatch from Mr. Lowell
for distribution to astronomers is ex-
ceedingly interesting, since it suggests
radical changes in the generally ac-
eeptel Opinions coneerning the
motions of these planets and the atnios-
pheric conditions existing on Venus.
Of course the data from which
opinions have been deduced cannot as
yet be stated, for the information has
come to us by telegraph. Obscrvatious
of Mercury and Venus have always been
difficult, the reasons therefor in the
ditferent planets being, however, not
ihe sume. Mercury never leaves the
company of the sun, its greatest cis-
tance from itin the sky being not more
than about sid degrees. It is on that ac-
count enveloped always in sunlight,
which dims its brightness and makes
the details of its surface difticult to de-
tect. Some 50 years ago astroncmers
throught they discovered motion about
its axis and fixed the day at about five
minutes less than ours. But this tine,
while generally accepted and given
place in text books, has been without
absolute proof. It has been conceded
that little or no atmosphere exists
there, for if it did it would have been
detected during the transits of the
planet acress the sunTs disk. The ro-

mined from observation of the actual
surface of Mercury, and hitherto no ob-
server has been fortunate enough to
to get even glimpses of this.
With Venus the case is quite different.
The brightness of this planet is such as
to obscure vision, so that the best obser-
vations have been taken at times when
there was daylight present to tone
p. M, down its brilliancy. It has. been the
111 35) 10 82 | general cpinion that the surface of the
(1211) 11 15} planet was hidden from us by dcnse
opened wien e bene clouds in the atmosphere, while moun-
400: | tain peaks piercing these clouds or per-
manent spots have been lacking, so that
the time of rotation has been in doubt.

like the satellite which was seen by the
older astronomers to be in company
with the planet, the later astronomer
with his powerful telescopes has not
been able to see them.
The dispatch from Flagstaff suggesis
the curious fact that these planets
have each of them anlv one daw in each
the |
tation period must in this case be deter: |
.| It has been set down, however, as about |
the rotation have been reeorded, but, |

the question of possible inhabitents,

which {
the surny side of the planet, for the
oth-r portion, exposed to darkness and
inte-planetary eold, can hardly be
able to support life. With reference to
the e~mosphere of Venus, it has been
genorally conceded that one exists
which is denser than ours. The rea-
sons for this belief are, briefly, that at
ithe ~ime when Venus is a crescent the
jhours extend overT more than hal? a
~circle, which they could not do were
there no atmosphere to reflect ihe
light; and, further, when during the
transits of Venus a portion of -the
planet has entered upon the sunTs disk
or remains upon it an illumination of
the whole edge of the planet has been
seen, which could be accomplished in
no way known to us except the ditu-
sion of the sunlight through an at-
imosphere. The degree of this diffusion
~bein? considered it is probable that the
iatmosphere is quite dense, Mr. Lowel!
~is, } owever assured that the supnosed
clouds do not exist and all that prevents
our observation of the configuration of
Venus is the difficulty of Woking
'threugh its atmosphere.
, AN HOURTS WALK.
| You Cover a Distance of 83,903 Miles in
That Time.
Have you ever thought of the dis-
tance you travel while you are out for
ian hourTs stroll? Possibly you walk
three miles within the hor, but that
~docs not by any means represent the
' distance you travel, The earth turns on
its axis every 24 hours. For the sake of
|r und figures we will eall the earth's
| circumference 24,000 miles, and so you
Imust have traveled during your hour's
stroll 1,000 miles in the axial turn of the
earth.
But this is by nomeansall. The eartn
makes a journey round the sun every
| vear, and a long but rapid tripit ts, The
idistance of our planct from the enw
iw ll put: at 92,000,000 miles. This is tie
~ailius of the earthTs orbit"half the -j
~arceter of the circle, as we call i, The |
| whole diameter is therefore 164,660,000 |
| miles, and the circumference, being the
, diameter multiplied by 3.1416, is about
557,600,000.
' This amazing distance the
~travels in its yearly journey, and, divid-
~ing it by 365, we find the daily speed
~about 1,584,000. Then, to get the dis-
'tance you rode round the sun during
your hourTs walk, divide again by 24,
~end the result is about 66,000 miles. But
~this is not the end'of your hour's tri».

~The sun, with its entire brood of plan-
(ets, is moving in space at the rate of
166,000,000 miles ina year. This is at
,the rate of a little more than 454,060
miles a day, or 18,900 miles an hour.
So, adding your three miles of lez
travel to the hourTs axial movement of
the earth, and to the earthTs orbital
journey, and that again to the earth's
excursion with the sun, and you will
have traveled in the hour 85,903 miles.
