HIS LAST COPY,
Manuscript Found After North Caro

(The following was found only a
few tfoyn ago anion# the manuscript
of (lie I a to li, O. AKhcraft. Wo regret
Km not Iwlng i Mil ?1 I at a more
timely Mason but wo (ll<| not Know
lie hud over written such ait article?
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

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

to Postoffice on East DeKalb Street being built by Mr
Sanders. My plan was to open a gents furnishing
store, but for reasons best known to myself I have de

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:

"I do not know
Where falls the seed, that I have tried
to sow
With greatest care,
But I shall know
The meaning of each waiting hour

Sometime. Somewhere !
"I do not look
Upon the present, nor in nature's hook.
To read my fate; }
But I do look
For promised blessings in God's holy
book; ..>r?
And I can wait."
