On Exhibits?? at Our Salesrooms J. H. SULLIVAN, Laurens, S. C 4173 "The height by groat men reached and KEPT" calls attention to the fact that real greatness never permits BACKSLIDING. There arc not many instances In history of men prominent In youth or middle age who fell later Into obscurity?and BUCh of these as there are were not really great. Greatness is a SOUL QUALITY closely allied to hard work. The man whose soul has been fired with zeal for a wonderful cause cannot lay down Ms weapons. Successful men seldom retire. When Abraham Lincoln first entered Congress in 1SI7 he found .lohn Quincy Adams there, working in plain clothes. Benjamin Franklin cold have left a name big enough for a thousand years of history if he had died at 40. Hut he had won for America the aid of France in the Revolutionary War 510 YEARS after his name had becott.Q a household word in America and Kuropo through Poor Richard's Almanac. Benjamin Harrison returning to his law practice after the presidency, Charles Dickens killing himself with work after his name was internationally famous. Walter Scott repaying a debt of hundreds of thousands after ago ami fame had set their seals upon him. Edison working id hours a day for a score of years after the crown of olive had been placed upon his head these are hut a few conspicuous examples of the VITAL PRINCIPLE OF GREATNESS. Moil are great, not because they are able to attain something they want but because they WANT SOMETHING they have NOT ATTAINED. The barbarian Alexander, who wept for more worlds to conquer, express ed the only kind of sentiment that could have enabled him to conquer ONE. Greatness is not situated at h goal it does not lie at a terminus. It is IN THE SOUL <>r a man and . xists both before and after the accomplishment of every noteworthy deed. Great inon do hoi retire from greatness, because they can't. Backsliding is a characteristic of men who have NEVER been truly great, and is a proof of it. The man who wants to be grent in the hope that ho will be able to sit around and watch, Is u sort of dlgnilied, scholarly ease lias never read much biography or seen many of the real specimens at short range, for HAM) WORK and SUCCESS arc CLOSE OF KIN. and leisure is nol even a distant relative of either. A PLEASANT SURPRISE FOR SUPERINTENDENT The Teacher and Pupils of the Ninth Grnde of the City Schools Present Superintendent's Picture to the School. In the auditorium of the city grad ed school on Thursday morning of last week the pupils of the Ninth Grade and Miss Creighton kuvc the school one of the most distinct sur prises of the session.
