His parents We're good honorable people
and very good lvcrS for that day and

limited in those days, and the Colonel
only acquired common old field school

uncommononly good common. hard
sense, and Il good Judge of human nature.
He was Il. one time probably the most
popular man in Union county. He was
always proud to proclaim that he came
from between the plough handles to
public position and public notice. 1t
was our pleasure to know the Colonel
well for Il number of years. lie WAS
Il character of many fine parts. lie was
always guided hy patriotic motives. We
have often heard him say "that he loved
dear old South Carolina nearly as much
rs he did his mother" He WAS man
iull of feeling. and a.SO quite humorous
ut times lie WAS full of originality.
He had Il great many of the essential
parts of Il great man. He was elected
clerk of the court of Union county when
he was twenty-five Years old. lie he'd
