One Of the weightiest and most in
fuential men of Pennsylvania county is
Mr. f. 4. LOFTS. Clerk OF the superior
Court of the county.
He was born in this county January
8, 1853, and received what education
was afforded by the old field schools OF
those days.
His father, A. J. LOFTS. planter and
substantial citizen of the county, was
originally from Iredell county.
In the spring of 1875 Mr.. Lotus went
to Texas but returned after year and
a half residence there. He is quiet and
unassuming, but a man of much per-
sonal magnetism. and his business and
political methods are very effective as
he always manages to pull few strings
about election times. He was United
States store-keeper and gauger for four
years under Cleveland's second admin
istration and in 1898 was elected to his
present position.
MIR LOFTS is married and has AN IN
teresting family of eight children. lie

parity of thriving BreyaTd and Tran
sylyania county.

THOMAS, H. GALLOWAY.
Dealer In General Merchandise, ard Ore Oh
Breyard' Progressive Merchants and
Enterprisng Citizens.

In reviewing the mercantile interests
Of Brevard. special attention is called
to those houses which coming into eX-
i~tence during the last few years, has
helped to bring about the growth which
has characterized its trade and general
prosperity. Prominent among these
business houses stands that of Mr. 7.
III. Galloway. who does a general mer-
chandise business. He has recently built
a large and commodious two-story BUSH
ness house on Main street, 24X60, in
which he conducts his business. Mr.
Galloway was born and raised in Tan
sylyania county, and has always been
one Of its most prominent citizens. He
taught school for FIVE years, served as
Register OF Deeds Of the county four
years. and also Clerk Of the Superior
Court of the county four years. In
1888 he edited the French Broad Voice,
a newspaper Of the county. In 1889 he
married Miss Sallie Nicely of Transyl-
vania county.

once built up a large clientage, and has
gained the complete confidence of a
large circle of business men who know
he can always be found on hand when
wanted. He has confined himself strict
ly to the practice of his chosen profess
sion and perhaps it is mostly due to this
that he today does the largest practice
in his county. Mr.. Cash is regarded
by his professional brethren as possessed
of an extensive knowledge of law and by
the people as being very safe to entrust
with their cases as is seen in his large
practice. He is a business man and
does things in business like way. Has
never sought office, yet in 1898 he was
endorsed by his county for judge of the
Twelfth District, and received a large
complimentary vote in the convention.
He is in no sense of the word politi-
clan and does not hesitate to say that
if there were less of politics and less of
those artful schemes that follow in the
wake of politics in the discharge of gov
eminent business, the benefits to be de-
rived therefrom would be far in excess
of what they are and almost immeas-
urable, and that if public trusts We're
handled in the same business like man.
ner and with the same business sense as
one does his individual affairs there
would certainly be revolution in those
affairs. Although not fond of politics,
Mr.. Cash always takes very active
interest in the deliberations of the par
ty, and his safe judgment and wise
counsel is often sought after. He was
chairman of the Democratic county ex-
ecutive committee of Pennsylvania, for
four terms and was also a member of
the Judicial Committee of the district.
He is a director of the Brevard Bank
ing Company, is attorney for the ToXa-
way Company and also for the Transyl-
vania r. r. Company.
