The letter "e" is very impor iaru, as me iouowing lrom tlie (laffney Ledger will testify: A friend recently handed us the following: "Someone has advanced the opinion that the letter V is the most unfortunate character in the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger and in hell all the time." For some reason he overlooked the fortunates of the letter, so, we will call his attention to the fact that 'e' is never in war and always in peace. It is the beginning of existence, the commencement of ease and the end of trouble. Without it there would be no meat, no life and no heaven. It is the center of honesty, makes love perfect, and without it there would be no editors, devils nor news.? Orangeburg Times & Democrat.
