Miles Benjamin McSweeney was
born In Charleston April 1S, 1855.
Four years later his father died of
yellow fever, and the orphaned boy
was left to make his own way
through the world. At the age of 10
he was selling newspapers. Later
he clerked in a book store and at the
same time attended night school. He
served an apprenticeship as a Job
printer and worked for newspapers
in Charleston and Columbia. He
won the Washington and Lee Uni
versity scholarship offered to mem
bers of the Charleston Typographical
Union, but owing to lack of means
his college career was restricted to q
very short term.
In 1877 Mr.. McSweeney moved to
Ninety-SiX, where he published the
Ninety-SiX Guardian until 1S79,whe
he removed to Hampton and began
the publication Of the Hampton
County Guardian, which he contin-
ued until within a few months of his
death. For eight years Mr.. McSwee-
ney was president Of the South Caro-
lima Press Association.
In addition to his journalistic
pursuits Mr.. McSweeney played
prominent part in South Carolina
politics. For ten years-from 1884
to 1SJ4-he was chairman of the
Hampton county Democratic execu-
tive committee. In 1894 he was
elected to the State Legislature, and
in 1896 became Lieutenant Cover
nor, which place he filled until 1899,
when he succeeded to the Governor
ship on the death Of Governor w. H.
Ellerbe. In 1904 he was elected
Governor. AT the expiration of his
term he retired from politics and de-
voted himself to the interests of the
Guardian. For several years Mr.. Nc
Sweeney was member of the State
Democratic Executive Committee.

James A. Patten, of Chicago, the
manipulation of the wheat market,
who gained much notoriety last

and talked freely to all corners about
crop and market conditions, dealing
particularly with the cotton market.
