Few South Caroians were so well known, not only bis own state, but in many others, 1 few men were so familiar with aerican life. !ol. Hoyt'scareer, which is sketched refully below, was notable for its conat activities. Only last week he 3 a member and prominent particiit in the State Democratic conven3, and was elected a district delegate ;he coming St. Louis national Dematic convention, receiving the highnumber of votes cast in the district icus. In this State convention, at ritical time in the debate over the estion of hearing expression from > delegates as to their choice for the mocratic nomination, he arose and a brief, strong speech of five minutes ivinced the convention, which was idently wavering, of the wisdom of aring from the delegates. Thus, in ?last few days of his life, hewas conbuting Bervice to his State and counr through his party. In all public vice, in war and in peace Col. Hoyt is at the front: when anything was be done his hands were ready to do d hewas rarely gifted in mental abiliand poise, in gracious tact and morand physical courage together with iflagging industry. His life was freeand genprously given through all its ars rather to the service of his church, s country and his fellowmeu than to Ifish accumulation, but he was able ways to live independently, to meet lof his public and private obliga>ns and thu9 his life was in e broadest and highest sense succ-ess1. The campaign of 1900 when he is the candidate of the prohibition istt ithin the Democratic organization r governor and when he was second the race, his competitor being Gov, cSweeney, the incumbent, Mr. F. , Gary and the late Mr. A.

An Officer Uuder Jenkins. At the reorganization in 1862, th< company became a part of the Paimet ta Sharpshooters under the gallant Jen kins, and after Gen. Jenkins, promo tiou, the commander was Col. Josepl Walker of Spartanburg, During th< second year of this service, Hoyt wa "promoted to a lieutenancy for gullan and meritorious conduct on the field' and afterward served as adjutant o his regiment. He was slightly wounded at Williamsburg, and more| serious ly at Frazier's Farm. During this tim< he also contracted asevere case of small pox and came very near dying. It 1864, while returning from a sick fur lough to the army, he was placed .it command of an extemporized expedi tion of wounded and convalescent sol' diers sent out from Danville to check Wilson's federal cavalry at Stauntor river bridge, which was an important point in Lee's line of communication with bis base of supplies at Danville. The fight was a desperate one in which Hoyt shared the responsibility of command with Capt. Biddick and Col Coleman. Although the federals hac a vastly superior force. Confederates defended the bridge until Gen. W. H F. Lee's cavalry came up. Early in the fight, Hoyt was badlj wounded and disabled, but he refusec to leave the scene of action and remain ed in command of his detachment un til the end.Col. Hovt's wound was in his left leg the small bone being bo badly Bhattere' that it was resected, three inches bpinj taken out. From this wound he suffei ed almost constantly, and his contro of the left foot being imperfect, he wa forced to use a crutch.

He ran for th i State senate in 1870 as a vicarious sac s rifice and was defeated by 200 vote! j He was a member of the conventio that nominated Carpenter and Butlei i but spoke against Carpenter's nomine tion, believing it unwise.

In 1874 ? he carried his county for Green, in op i position Chamberlain.

The a e I paper was enlarged andimproved, and ^ - under his management as chief editor g e and proprietor, it became one of the 3 leading denominational papers in the p south. His connection with The Bap- ? tist Courier made him acquainted ? throughout the State, and as he had B the exceptional faculty of remembering ( names and faces, he enjoyed a remark- i ably wide range of friendships. t \ The Baptist Courier. ( B During his editorship of The Baptist J ? Courier, he continued to take an intery est in politics, and until 1890 he represented Greenville county in the State f Democratic executive committee, and " I in that year was elected chairman, as ? * one who was not an extremist on eith-> ^ ? er side of the factional fight then brew- c< ing and who had the confidence of C ' both factions. As chairman he refused " to rule out the nominees of the famous ti 1 March convention, though he did not v approve the methods used to inaugu" rate reforms in the State government. ' While opposing these methods, he de- b ' precated strife and bitterness and was c one of the first to appeal for the oblit- 01 eration of factional lines. In 1885, Col. Hoyt was unanimously v ' elected president of the Baptist State convention and was re-elected for nine j successive terms, when he declined to g serve longer. For 20 years he was a c 1 trustee of Furman university, and was * * at one time vice president of the South- y em Baptist convention. For several ? ^ years he was a vice president of the J American Baptist Educational society and has delivered an address before that body and also before the American Baptist Publication society. 2 In June, 1891, he sold bis interest in The Baptist Courier and contemplated z a final retirement from the newspaper b j business. For a time be was financial ? 1 agent of Furman university; but tbe D babits and associations of a lifetime * , were too strong, and in January, 1892, ? j he assumed control of the Greenville i Enterprise and Mountaineer as editor 8 and proprietor. The name of the paper was changed to its original form, The r Mountaineer, anrf'Col. Hoyt continued as ita editor and proprietor until his death. Having been so long active and prominent in State politics, it was na? tural that Col. Hoyt should have been " often solicited to become a candidate . for governor; but he always steadfastly declined until 1900,when the demand upon was such that he could not refuse. Having always been an outspoked advocate of prohibition against every other method of controlling the liquor traffic, and having repeated favored making the fight for that principle d in this State, be felt that he could not e decline the nomination which was e given him by the prohibition Demoe crats, and accordingly he accepted the e responsibility and took the stump as " the candidate for governor. Besides * his advocacy of prohibition he possessn ed other elements of strength in his ' p> acknowledged ability, his respected high character, his long experience ? and service in public life without re3 ward, bis success in business and his Q reputation as a man and a Christian. 6 As a prohibitiouist, Col.
