Plant made honest plans in early life
and has by slow and sure degrees ex-
panded and matured them. He has
added to values not only of his own
property, but to that OF communities
and States. He has proved himself an
unselfish friend to the south and won
the love and admiration of our people.
Shakespeare says, "The evil that men
do lives after them. The good is oft
inferred with their bones" That is
not always true. In fact, he might as
truly have said, "The good that men
do lives after them." Good deeds are
like the circling waves that gentlym

apool. They never lose their influence.
The good that Mr.. Plant has done for
the people has not been buried with

Close up!" The old men die and others
step into their places-and the world
