prove boresome. Even to sum up,
would take too long. But / cannot
refrain from saying that these have
been two Of the most pleasant years
of my life. l have done some work,
part OF which | hope has been for the
good of the town and the county;
at least that has been the motive that
impelled me. In the carrying out Of
my ideas | have doubtless offended
many and on many occasions; | am
sorry this has been necessary, for |
wish 1t could have been otherwise No
man especially relishes making enc
mics for himself or the paper he is
working for, and yet sometimes seems
impossible not to do so.
When 1 came to Laurens in April
Of 1908, the campaign against the dis
pensary was just beginning. l took
side with the prohibitionists and die
what | could to do away with what
believed poor business, both from
economic and moral standpoint In
this fight. l made many enemies both
for myself and for the paper; / hops
| made some friends. Today, | cal
see no reason for apologizing for tn,
stand taken. To those who stuck b,
us in the fight | extend hearty thanks
to those who opposed, | say that yol
had perfect right to your opinions
and | respect them now as | did then
To those who fought to do injury to
me personally and to my reputation,
have nothing to say as | had then
Those who vilifed and slandered have
their own reward.
During these two years, Laurens
has grown in many ways; she has de-
veloped in commercial and Industrial
lines, her business has grown, new
enterprises have been launched with
success. All these | have watched
with keenest interest and qualification
The Advertiser has grown i'm this time
Glong with other business. | trust
that it has more friends today thar
it had two years ago; if not, my work
has been a complete failure.
| cannot close these few persona
remarks without thanking the many
who have done me favors. There are
some in Laurens who have done me
good turns that / shall never forget
for which | thank them with all sin
cerety
In conclusion, let me say that |
am leaving Laurens with many regrets
and that the days | spent here will
always be cherished in my mind and
heart. While | shall miss the many
things | have cited, the chief pain of
it all is that | shall not be missed; it
is always thus in newspaper work
The Advertiser will appear next week
just the same, if not better. This page
will be Of interest; the front page will
bear the news of all that is happening
in this place and in the county; the
paper Will go to its friends Just the
same, and will be read with the same
interest. The man misses the news
paper, but the newspaper does not
miss the man; however this may af-
feet the individual, it Is we'll that such
is the case.
With the kindest feeling toward all,
with unalloyed wishes for their conf
tinued success, and with all good will
to The Advertiser and it's friends, +
beg to remain, Yours

LIFE.


So great and vast subject, such a
title. needs restrction; for, to discuss
1t, even in the matter Of space, one
would have need of volumns, barring
all limitations as regards knowledge.
Life, that some call a great riddle
that others think of as a span, or a
dream rounded with sleep, or as
one has likened it to the momentary
flight of bird, coming I'm from the
darkness without, fitting through a
dimly lighted room for a brief time,
and then passing again into the dark
ness of an unknown-these phases Of
life are too vast to think upon 1t is
just the commonplace, everyday CON
sideration of life that we have in mind
And the occasion of the thought is
a post card, received some time ago,
on which was this inscription: Life
is just one damn thing after another"
Now, let the very fastidious be not
shocked; they will find damn" in the
very best regulated dictionaries. Bar
ring the fact that the use of it here is
incorrect. that 1t should be damned, :"
the meaning is clear, and every one
knows the sentiment intended. 1t is
simply that life is just one detestable,
abominable, provoking, hateful thing
after another. Life is made up Of
events, occurrences, happenings, chan
ges etc and they are all Of similar
nature-"damned"
With this view we have some SYM
pathy. For instances, If one wakes up
early in the morning with a splitting
headache. goes to breakfast and finds
his wheat cakes scorched, starts to
work and meets friend who has a
crouch and insists on telling his trou-
bies, finds everything at his office in
topsy-turvy shape, has an overdue
draft presented him which he wants
to pay but just cant, is assaled over
the phone for an unintentional error,
! finds that something which he has in
tended for favor in taken as an in
suit, and through all this is wearing
shoe that pinches, we say that he
has just grounds for thinking life Just
one damned thing after another. And
by the way, there is nothing in
