JOEL e. BRUNSON,
Named for Governor.

Joel Edgar Brun$on, the nomi-
nee for Governor of South Carroll
ma, was born in Sumter county a
little over fifiy-one years ago and,
as was said in the convention
when he was nominated, has been
Prohibitionist from his birth.
He has been prominently identi-
fed with the Good Templars Tor
the past twenty-five years, and
has served this State as Grand
Chief Templar longer than any
other man. When he took con-
troll of the Good Templars in this
State, in 1889, the organization
had a membership Of a little over
four hundred, and when he de-
clined 10 be elected to the position
of chief templar three years there
after, the fourth time he had been
offered the place, he, by earnest
and organized effort, had in his
organization 4,542 me'ubers, and
had paid off debt due by the or.
ganization when he took charge,
hal spent for the work of Prohibi-
lion over three thousand dollars,
and had several hundred dollars
in the treasury of the Good Tenn
plars of the State. For the past
twenty-five years MIR. Brunson has
been one of the most prominent
advocates of Prohibition in the
State, and more worthy cham
pion no cause could possibly have.
He is a man who has always had
the courage to speak his cohvic-
tions, and has his whole life fought
for Prohibition straight and sim
pie with no compromise whatever.
Mr.. Brunson is a man of Won
derful intellect and broad knowl-
edge, and he has few peers in this
State in the knowledge of parlia-
mentary law. He has been call
ed upon to preside at almost every
Prohibition Convention or other
body that he has been a member
of for several years past, and
he Is we'll known all over the
State as an earnest and effective
worker. The management OF his
private business affairs has shown
him to be a man of uudoubted
judgment in business matters, and
he has Eever been known to fail
in a single undertaking that he
has attempted. For years he has
successfully operated at Sumter
one of the largest and most prop
porous sash, door and blind fac
tories in the State, and his lumber
factory at Kingstree is one of the
largest, and most finely equipped
in the South. BY that knack and

ton which met in Columbia last

some of the strongest men in the
State, but won the nomination
easily, and it was then made un-
animous.
Williamsburg had elected full
delegation to the Convention, but
only FIVE gentlemen from This
county were present. They were
Messers. w. NJ. keels, A McA
Pittman, A. 4. Holler, L. j. Bris

Mr.. Brunson was made perman

and Mr.. Bristow was chosen as
secretary. Mr.. r. B. Roper was
selected as the county member
of the State executive committee
from this county.
The following platform was
adopted by the Convention, and
upon this The gentlemen suggested

The Prohlbiilonists OF the State
