The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1886-07-28

Florida, Mr.. Edison has returned to the
scenes of his electrical labors and, tri-
umphs and now divides his time between
his laboratory on Seventeenth street and
his palatial residence ut Llcwellyn Park
on the Orange Mountain, paying an oc-
casional visit TO his private Office in Wall
street. He has not been spoiled by suc-
cess, being still the genial, approachablc,
common sense, Woodworking ''Tom"
Edison he was when unknown to fame
and fortune. He has not startled the
world of late by any new marvel, but his
brain is busy as ever, his laboratory has
not lost its fascination, and it is It dull
day indeed when he has not half dozen
experiments i'll progress. A few years
ago he said: "Ihat which is known, to
that which is unknown, stands, we will
say, as one to 10000, coo, " and he seems
to feel that his mission is to change that
proportion by few figures.
An intimate fricnd and business asso-
ciatc Of Mr. Edison, i'll conversation
with Star reporter Of electrical tcndcn-
cies, said:
"It would be premature Just ut present
to make public mention of what is now
DclnS donc by Nj. Edison III the line of
orginni investigator. There is much

W notn as to means OF production and
methous OF utlliHatioh. Sc Tar as the
conversion OF steam power into electric
energy Is concerned there IS little left to
