CONGRESSMAN JOS. T.. JOHNSON.
Who Once Drove Oxen Through the
Streets. Before and After Col.
Iege Hours, Now Holds the
ReinS In Congress.

l want to tell you little story
about man named Johnson. l never
tire telling OF the men who have sue
ceeded against what might be. Called
overwhelming obstacles, and in listen
ing to the story Of this South Carolina
congress man, | was interested to know
that he was one Of the boys who once
drove oxen through the streets before
and after college hours, in order to
help defray his expenses at the insti-
tuition of learning. The men who have
achieved, are often the boys who have
cut wood, picked cotton or done siupf-
lar labor that constitutes the bass of
modern life, for the man who is afraid
OF work is not the man "ho gets
on in the world" ,,
1t was a splendid compliment paid
to the congressman from South Caro-
lima when Senator rTilman said that
he would likely be in congress for
thirty years. Joseph T. Johnson, just
plain Joe Johnson, is a name that
sounds we'll in South Carolina, and his
established popularity as congress-'
man is not confined to his district in
South Carolina r.
Few members Of congress have att
tended its sessions more faithfully than
Mr.. johnson; it is said there has never
been session convened that found Joe
Johnson missing from his place, wlaiot'
is most unusual record IN these days.
He was given a handsome endorse
ment in his district this fan Despite
the demands of public life, Mr.. John
son remains the same conscientious,
persevering, tireless worker that he
has always been known to be by MS
friends and neighbors of the South.
Mr.. Johnson is a very enthusiastic
advocate OF the industrial awakening
OF South Carolina, and inthis, ,ssod:--Joe
