He knew how earth became a rolling ball. He knew the source and secret of all life. He also knew how Adam came to falL He knew the causes of the glacial a^e And what it was that mad? the deluge rage. He knew?in fact, he knew most everything. In his own mind he was earth's greatest sage. His knowledge was of such stupendous girth It took in everything upon the earth And in the heavens, but most strange of all. He didn't know a thing of real worth. He knew where people go when they are dead. He knew all wonders ever sung or said. Hp know the nast and future, but for all He didn't know enough to earn his bread. He was a marvel of omniscience. He knew the secret of the hence and whence. He was a bundle of great theories. The only thing he lacked was common ' sense. ? v ?Denver News. The State of South Carolina, COUNTY OF LEXINGTON. By Geo.
