THE COURAGE OF EDISON

There Is lesson for the farmers
and business men Of the South In the
magnificent courage displayed by
Thomas A. Edison, the great inventor.
whose great plant was destroyed by
fire last Wednesday night. He did
not sit down and complain. But he
got busy Immediately, and was impa-
tient for the embers to cool that he
might begin rebuilding. He said
It WAS only temporary setback.
Is this not the spirit for O man to
have in the face OF adversely? With
such determination the farmers and
business inen OF the South will build
\ greater success out OF their appar-
eht failure. They will, do not fear. for
We have some Thomas A. Edisons In
Anderson county and in South Caro-
lima who will build larger fortunes
than ever this year.
T The following Is from the Colum-
bio Record:
"I'm nrettv we'll burned out Just
now. boys" snid Thomas A. Edison,
8! years old. to the newspaper re-
porters as he stood looking upon the
IRE which DESTROYED his great plant
at West Orange, N. j.. Wednesday
night, "brt, L'll start all over tomor-
row. There'll be some rapid mobiliz-
Ing here; when this debris cools OF
and is cleared away. I'll go right to
work to build the plant over again.
It Is just d temporary setback; don't
forget that" s
II The fire covered almost square
mile OF ground, causing o property
loss OF 81 100000. all of which except
S2.00G.0Q0 insurance Mr. Edison will
have to bear. It was not alone the
money value OF the property, but the
results OF years ,of the labor Of his
brain that will make demands on the
sands Of his life now rapidly running
out to replace, that were swept away
I and yet Mr.. Edison spoke cheerfully
and with o smiles of starting all over
again.
Is It any wonder that q man with
! such courage, faith and determination
shOG;S have succeeded in the large
!, measure that mas fallen to the great
inventor
