LET Us GIVE THANKS earn rani ‘“st1s 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 “I 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.

During its history it has been the custom of the RerLecror to observe Thanksgiving Day. In keeping with this custom the office will be closed to— morrow and no paper issued. Let every business house close to- morrow and observe Thanksgiving Day. The commendable custom that has prevailed in Greenyille for several years past should not be broken now.

C., Nov. 22,_-The white people of this county have recently had another example of Russellism and ne- ero supremacy. About three weeks ago John M. Coleman, of Churchill, in this county, was grossly insulted by 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— tice of the peace, a wrrant for the ar- restef J. M. Coleman was issued, and 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- ber of the Board of Commissioners of this county. This isa second case of this kind which has occurred in this county in the last six weeks.

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.—“Uncle Jeeus,” in Goldsboro Sunbeam. In bis speech at Bobtown Monday night Seuator Sigmon is reported as having said that “bat 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 “who 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?

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- server.

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 sun’s disk. The ro- | Daily.

Das 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 over’ 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 sun’s 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 HOUR’S 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 hour’s 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 earth’s 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 hour’s walk, divide again by 24, ‘end the result is about 66,000 miles.
