The Editor's Last Gopy
(From the Tampa Times)
In n drawer of his desk, a few days
after he had "passed,” out was found
the following editorial, written by B.
C. Ashcraft, editor of the Monroe
(N. C. (Enquirer. The members of
his staff, reading it, felt that he had
passed on the long, dark trail and
turned about to speak to them one
last word of sympathy and encourage
ment before continuing his course to
some of you like to read that kind of
stuff—but I do not like to write it.
For many years 1 have written copy
for the Enquirer, 1 have told of the
successes of our people. I have
gladly told of their joys and it has
been a delight to me to chronicle the
fact for them that the banner of suc
cess floated full mast and that for
them the bugle of victory was sound

turns.” We did not know Mr. Ash
craft, but the message he has left is
so full of manly .cheerful philosophy,
for all its sadness,that we cannot re
frain from giving it here. There are
■not many men who would write it
such a cheerful vein knowing that the
grim spectre of death was hovering
over his chair, waiting for the last
word to be written. The fact that he
was able to do it shows what manner
of man he was. He must have been a
quiet, unassuming country editor, do
ing his duty alike to God, his country
and to all mankind. Peace to his
ashes. The editorial follows:
Many a time during the years gone
by have I answered the call of the
man at the typesetting machine or
at the case for copy. This is my last
answer to that unstaying call—copy.
The eyes of him who hangs the copy
on the hook will not, after it is set,
read the proof, for they will be death
dimmed^ The hand that Iwrote it
will not mark the errors on the proof
'heet, for before it is set that hand
will be cold, numb and cunningless
in the grave
The thought of laying aside my
pen—and that forever—is a stagger
ing one, but there is no use to wince
or cry aloud, not a bit of it. About
the best thing to do is to be recon
ciled.—and if I am niot reconciled
what’s the difference?
“Was your uncle reconciled when
he met death,” a preacher asked
boy whose uncle had died?
The boy replied, “Reconciled, H—II
he had to be.”
Now this contemplation of un
buckling the hraness, of quitting the
work I love, is calculated to brnig
on some sob stuff, and it may be that
adopted child of my brain as I face
death, the grave and the great un
known:
“I cannot feel
That all is well, when darkening
clouds conceal,
The shining sun;
But then I know
God lives and loves; and say, since
it is so,
Thy will be done.

willing hand I have told of death
entering the homes of our people, of
pain, sickness, suffering and ldss
coming to the people whose servant
I have been in the way of furnishing
them with the local news. But no
more will I talk of the events, good
or bad, cheering or sorrow-laden, in
our community.
I pass my pen to another hand. 1
wish 1 knew who will take my place
here in the Enquirer office. 1 might
tell him a few things that would be
of interest, if not benefit to him.
My work, as 1 have intimated, has
been pleasant. There have been, of
course, times of gloom. The paw of
old “hard times” has, now and then,
pressed painfully hard on over-bur
dened shoulders, but there has not
been a time when that hard old paw
pressed down hard enough to crush
to earth. The night has not been so
dark that there was not now and
then between the clouds a glimmer
of the star of hope.
My relations with tlie public have
been pleasant. The public is not as
good as the candidate for office tells
it that it is, neither is it so abso
lutely bad as the defeated candidate
thinks it is, and taking it year by
year the public is pretty fair in its
dealings 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
streak of cowardly yellow cur in his
makeup.
1 have mingled with our people in
public gatherings of about all kinds
from 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 1
will be the silent party at the gath
ering, and at that gathering no mat
ter what is said or done I will make
no objection, but I do hope that on
that occasion no self appointed saint,
who claims to know so little about
this world that he wearies part of
its inhabitants almost to death when
he speaks, will make an ass of him
self by fluminating over me and air
ing my many failings—-a thing he
did not have the nerve to do publicly
while I was in the land of the living.
Neither do I want any “sugar mouth
ed” individual who never had any
kind words for me while I was toil
ing along the best I could, to come
and say pretty nothings over my
rotting remains. And you folks who
have taken delights in throwing rocks
at me when I was not looking, for
God’s sake, keep your flowers off
my grave—I do not need them.
I would like to leave a message to
my business associates—the boys in
the shop—but 1 cannot- write about
that, for there comes a lump in my
throat, and doggone it, my eyes fill
with tears when I try to tell of the
loyalty, the fidelity, the patience of
these who have labored with me
year after year and some of whom
have grown up in the shop. I love
them with a love unutterable and if
the blessing of a dying man is worth
a whoop, they will be endowed with
richest blessings if old reason shall
sit enthroned when I T>ass out. Boys,
we have fought the battles together.
You have not failed me. God bless
you. If I have failed to act the man
before you, forgive me, as 1 hope
God has forgiven me, for if I have
played the coward’s part, if 1 have
been untrue, dishonest and unclean
in my dealings with you or in my
life before you, I have not been
aware of it. i have tried, God knows
1 have tried, to play the man in my
work. Y'ou can tell the man who says
that I knowingly wrote falsely of
any person, institution or thing, that
1 withheld my pen from writing the
plain truth when I deemed it best to
write it for fear of any man or for
favor from anyone on the face of
the earth that he is a liar.
Perhaps some one will want to
know 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 man knew. Any of you who
read this know no more. But al
though 1 do not know, 1 can trust—
no man can do more.
I came across this bit of verse
some time ago. I do not know who
wrote it, but it so well expresses my
thoughts that 1 pass it on as the
“I do not see
Why God should e’en permit some
things to be,
When He is love.
But I can see
Tho’ ofter dimly through the mys
tery His hand above!
I do not know
Wher efalls the seed, that I have
tried to sow,
With greatest care.
But I shall know
The meaning of each waiting hour
below,
Sometime, somewhere!
nor
nature’s
“I do not look
Upon the present,
book,
To read my fate,
But I do look
For promised blessings in God’s holy
book;
And 1 can wait!”
