Thomas liordon Mcleod was bori\ at Lynchburg, in wluit was Sumter county, lXvember 17, 1S08. Ills father was Willlum Janice* McLeod and his mother WHS Amanda Honors McTjeod. The youth's early days were spent In and about tlio village of Lynchburg, where ho attended the frame school building that has sent forth to the world a I'nited States senator; n col lege president: a bishop of the Meth odist Kpiscopal church; two merchants of promiivcucv, in addition to thesub ject of tills story. Anions jhe <vtrly touchers of Mr. McLeod were Mrs. M. K. McDonald, Miss Llna HcLcod, Prof. ,|. Fleinlug Brown. Hev, H. P. O'arrlss, l?r. John C. llnchannon and others.

Mr. McLood was largcly Interested In college activities while at Wofford. although be modestfly states that he <lid not excel 1 in any decided bram-li of study while a student there. He was a member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity and. also of the Calhoun Literary society. I In was honored with the presidency of the Calhoun society, and on one occasion won* the essay medal offered by this, organiza tion. Two things jiertalning to Mr. Mc Leod are said to have marked his college days. The first was that he was alftvay# i) possessed of the same humorous vein which has stood him in good hand throughout hi* life. The second striking tilling, and which, in a measure at least, may 1ki attributed to the first,'was that he was decidedly popular with the students. The num ber of friends made Is looked hack to by Mr. McIx?od with greater pleas ?ure than any s^yolastic achievements he might have earned. Follow'ng graduation Mr, Ab'Leod taught f^r two years in Sumter coun ty. being in charge of Bethel acad emy and also ?f Lino academy. In the summer of 1S94 he took a summer course in law at the Universi ty of Virginia.

He has not only, been defeated fur tl.e governorship, but he has shown wcuk ness in former strongholds which in dicatc that he is not now the "itf>iiti eal idol" of men who in tho past have stuck unquestionably to him and his fortunes: else that the -woman voter is arrayed against him to the fatal lK)int. Mr. HJease has been'a stormy petrel in South Carolina affair*. ? From a humble station ? we have seen it stated that he started in life as a drayman in Newberry?he ma tie bis way through the lower oltftecs, admin istrative and legislative, to the high place of chief magistrate of his state. Without ability; without merit to se cure a following; without attributes to win friends and supporter* be eonld not have done ,that. He Is .nec essarily ? mau of force; of ability; and of political sagacity. He won for gov ernor when evfrry newspaper in the state, with one or two exceptions, op-, -loosed him. In the highest office in such a Hp) end id state as South Caro lina, he made mistakes. It is princi pally charged that.be was a lwrtisan governor and that lie was a Hlease ex ecutive of the Hlease faction. It is true that he stuck t<> his friends?-to his iH)litioal friends. He said things and be did things which regular Dem ocrats alleged as un-Demoora-tic. He made of his political enemies?bitter enemies. However, following defeat and partial retirement, he again came before the jH*ople. Again he secured a great voto, loading in the first pri mary, Soutli Carolina, however, had finally gotten out of pallonce with hi ni. Practically every vote n*>t a ltloaso vote in tho first primary was an antMUoaso voU> . uiul, in the sec* on<l primary, Itleaso went do>vu in un mistakable defeat. It may liavo been that South Caro HTw Ik more pro-Mrl/C(h1 than ant.lv Hloaso. Mol.ood boars till tj)ft ear marks of an able, earnest,, sincere, sterling man of the highest worth.
