HIS LAST COPY, Manuscript Found After North Caro lina Edllor'N Death. (The following was found only a few tfoyn ago anion# the manuscript of (lie I a to li, O. AKhcraft.

Monroe Enquirer, June 10,-. 1922;) Many a time during the years gone hy have I answered tho cull of the man at the tyipo-*ettitHt machine o? n the "e^S? for "copy. Th < is my last answer to. that unsta>lng caU 4 copy." The eyes of Klin who hangs this copy on the hook will not, after it is sot, read tbo (proof for thoy 'will he death dimmed. The hand that wrote It will not mark the errors on proof sheet, for before it, is set that hand will he cold, nunrh and cunningless in the gruve. The thought of laying aside my pen ? ami that forever ? 1h a dagger ing one, 1>ut there Is no iwe to winee nor cry aloud, not a hit of it. About thei best thing to do is to be recon ciled ? and if I am not reconciled what's the difference? "Was your undo reconciled when he met death?" n long-faced preacher asked a hoy whoso uncle had died. The lK?y replied, b ? ? ? ? 1 -he had 'to he." Now this contemplation of unbuck ling tho harness, of quittiny. the worM I love, Is calculated to bring on some sob stuff and it may be that some of you lik? to road that kind of stuff hut I do not like to write it. For many years I have written copy for the Enquirer. I have told of the successes of our people. I have gladly told of their joys and It lias been ? delight to me to chronicle tho fact for them the banner of success floated full maet and that for them the bugle of , victory was sounding sharp and clear. Sorrowfully I have told of the griefs of our people. With a heavy heart and an unwilling hand I have told of death entering the homes of our j>eo ple, of pain, sickness, suffering and loss coining to tho people whose ser vant I have been in the way of fur nishing them with he local news. Hut lid. more will I talk of the events, good or had, cheering or sorrow-laden, in our community. I pass my pen to another hand. 1 wish 1 kuew who will take my place here In the Enquirer office. I might tell him a few thing* that would be of Interest, If of benefit to hiui. My work, as I have intimated, hits been plea want. There have been, J of course, times ?>f gloom. The paw of ohl "ha rd -times'' ha*, now and then l>reMs?*d painfully hard on over burden ed shoulders, but there lias not been a time when that hard old paw pressed dewn hard enough to crush to earth, the night hat* not been -no dark that there was not now and then, between the clouds, the glimmer of the star of hoiK\ My relations with the ipublle has been pleasant. The piddle is not a* good as nie oauidfdnfe for office tells it that It is, neither Is it so absolutely bad as the defeated eandldate thinks It \n, and taking It yea J* by year "the public Is pretty fair In Its dealing 1 with the individual, at least I have | found it so. I have long since come to the con clusion, however, that the editor who pets the public Is a fool and the edi tor who fears the public has a broad j streak of cowardly, yellow cut in his I make-up. T have mingled with our j>eople In public gatherings of about all kinds' fr<*m preaching services to street brawls ? (but the thought comes that at the next gathering of the people where I will be one of the number I will be the "silent (party" at tho gath ering, and at that gathering no mat ter wbat is paid or done I will rnnke no objections, but I do hope that on that occasion uo self-appointed saint* who claims to know all about the other world and knows so little about this world that he wearies a part of Its Inhabitants almost to death when he si>oaks, will make an ass of him self by "fulminating" over me and air ing my many fallings ? a thing he did not have tho nerve t'6 do publicly while I was in the land of the living. Neither do* I want any "suga mouth ed" Individual who never had any kind words for me while I was tolling along the best I could to come and say pretty nothings over my rotting "re mains." And you folks who have taken delight in throwing rooks al me when I was not looking, for God's sake, keep your flowers off. of my grave ? I do not newl them. T would like to leave a message to my business associates ? the boys in the "shop" ? but I cannot write about thut for there comes a lump in ray throat and, doggone it, my eyes fill with tears when I try to tell of the loyalty, fidelity, the i>atlenee of these who have labored with me year after ,1 have a three year leease on new store building next to Postoffice on East DeKalb Street being built by Mr Sanders.

If I have failed to act the man before you. forgive ine as I hope God has forgiven me, f?jr i tuvve played the coward's I lis Last Copy ? -Oontinuel part if I have been untrue, dishonest and unclean in my dealings with you or in my life before you I have not heen aware of it. I have tried, God knows I have tried, to play the man in my work. You can tell the man who says that I knowingly wrote falsely of any person, Institution or thing, that I withheld my pen from writing t lie plain truth when I deemed it best to write, for fear of any man or for I favor from anyone on the face of the earth, that he is a liar. Perhaps some one will want to ^now what are my views concerning ?death and the future state. My ans wer is, I "know" nothing about death, that mystery that all men since the race had its origin have faced, I know no more about the future than the cave men knew. And you who read this know no more. Hut although I do not know and cannot know I can trust ? 110 man can do more. I came across this bit of verse some .time ago. I do not know who wrote 1 J It, but it bo well expresses my though that I pass It on as the adopted child of my brain as I face death, the graved and the great unknown: # ? ?
