Hus Not Put tlio 8tiiposoii Thrm Yet. J. Frasor Lyon, now atlornoy-gcn eral of the State of South Carolina, was (dected to his present pdbition because ,tho great mass of the vo ters of this State believed tliut he would make good his campaign promise ,"to put stripes on?the grafters."

They roach out to grasp her but aro too Into and catch only the hair. In tbi? way Oppor tunity soon boenmo bald headed. And thus it Is with many of ns. How often does an opportunity pro. sent itself and we, not seeing it, grasp only tho hair. But fortune is kind to tho Amori can child in that she sends so many opportunities to them. Even though they go ^ith tho speed of lVs?a??u? many have boon able to grasp and use thems as the lives of many gji-at men show. Most of ns lot tho Tittle ones pass and'^it and wait for a l> u one. But a littlo one runkea a bi# one, for little things are tho founda tions and beginnings of biu things In most 6t tho modem civilized nations, especially America, one has many opportunities given that wo do not consider as sufth.
