and the world, than to live on to old
age and accomplish nothing" To him
twas
Better TO strive and climb,
And lever reach tie goal,
Then to drift elong with time
An aimless, worthless SOUL"
Not long ago, when some one re-
marked to him about some improve
ments he was making in and around the
residence in which he lived, he said:
Eyes, | want to leave it attractive and
comfortable for the next mill president
to enjoy" little dreaming that he would
leGve it so Don His great heart and
tender thoughtfulness was shown in
another very touching way when his
will was read, and it was found that a
legacy was left to his sons black man.
my, that as she had so faithfully and
lovingly cared for them, he wanted her
to be cared for the rest of her life. A
beautiful keynote to the mans whole
character was this little deed of loving
remembrance. 1t hath been said:
"Strive to live well; tread in the up
right ways,
And rather count thine actions than thy
days.
When thou hast lived among us here
For every day we'll spent l count a year.
Live well; and hen how soon soccer
thou die
Thou art of age to claim eternity"
And so, passing out into the Great
Beyond at the age of forty-four, Mr..
Lucas has accomplished more than
most men at three score years and ten,
and is surely of age to claim eternity.
He has left to himself monuments in
brick and stone, but beyond all else he
has left a monumental example for
good to the world and an imperishable
memory of his loving good deeds in the
hearts of his mill people, his relatives
and friends, and l trust in time his
name will be honored in the heart Of
every native of South Carolina and our
entire South, and it is with great adj
miration for the wonderful achieve
ments of this man of genius that !
send from Tennessee this little tribute
to his memory.

The daily press has had much to say
concerning the failure of insurance
companies to place their bonds in the
hands of Commissioners McMaster, all
of which we think entirely out of place.
Can it be expected that these insur-
ance companies know the newly-enact-
ed law before it is in print and avail
able?. True, the Acts were printed in
the daily papers, but the law does not
require people to read papers. If the
General Assembly pass an Act authoriz-
ing the State papers to act as It's agents
for the dissemination of its proceed,
ings. and compensating them therefor,
that would be a different matter. But
can the State authorities expect obedi-
ence to a law which has not been
placed before the people?

Several newspapers over the State
are of the opinion that Mr.. Feather
stone should postpone running for
governor until two years hence. This
expression from the Anderson Daily
Mail serves to express the attitude of
all these;
eff Mr.. G. C. Featherstone will defer
the attempt to realize his ambition to
be goyernorLa most worthy ambition,
for which nobody a censure him-he
will do the cause of prohibition much
more good this year than he could do
by running, and he will make himself
invincible two years hence"
This, of course, is an honest opinion
and demands respect; but Mr.. Feather,
stones recent announcement shows
that h. is firmly convinced that now is
the opportune time for a prohibition
campaign, and that success is assured.
But, even if this be not the case, where
and how could Mr.. Featherstone "do
the cause of prohibition more good
than on the stump?
