JOHN G. MOBLEY,
For Railroad Commissioner.

The Railroad Commission has become
an office of great importance. Recog-
nizing this, we nominate John Glover
road Commissioners. He is a lawyer
by education, and has been admitted to
the Bar of our state. For a number of
years he has been engaged in farming
and dairy husbandry, and has done
much to improve the breeding of horses
and dairy cattle. He is a practical farm
er, thoroughly in sympathy with the
agricultural interests, manufacturing
and the development of our resources
along the lines of industry. He has
been conspicuous for his public spirit
and untiring energy. Although mere
boy in '76, he rendered most efficient
service to the Democratic party when
radical misrule was overthrown and
white supremacy established. He has
always taken an active part in politics,
and has ever regarded the interest of a
friend as his own. He is member of
the military of the State, and has been
connected with the service for many
years. He is a Director of the State
Agricultural and Mechanical Society,
and has held that position for fourteen
years. He is also President of the
South Carolina Live Stock and Dairy
mans Association. In the Legislature,
his ability and knowledge of the law
and his fairness were we'll displayed ;
always courteous, but determined in his
support of the right.
In recognition of his worth, the legis-
lature made him director of the State
Penitentiary almost unanimously. He
was candidate in the last election for
Railroad Commissioner, and received a
Nnth hnt loo. ~. IL II.
race of ten candidates. At its next ses-
sion the legislature reelected him Di-
rector of the State Penitentiary for the
second time by an almost unanimous
vote. Captain Mobley possesses the
golden art of making friends. Courte-
Gus in manner, and firm in his charac-
ter, he would make popular as well as
most capable official. He would study
the problem of transportation, and do
justice without fear or favor. The splen-
did vote he received in the last election
for Railroad Commissioner warrants
his friends in again placing his name in
nomination and respectfully submitting
his qualifications and his pre-eminent
fitness for the Office to the people of the
State.
