the Stock Law in this State and was one
OF the first men to cndcavor to induce
, Immigration To South Carolina by indi.

were advocated with such ability rs to
carry conviction TO all who heard and
resulted in their adoption by the whole

others to engage III the work; and
mainly through his instrumcntality

have been settled in Anderson county.
