Kingstree, April 15. ? Whei
the news of the selection by th
ProhihitionistK of Hon Joel I
> Brunson for gubernatorial honor
reached Kingstree, there was gen
eral rejoicing among the citizen
of his home town. While it lui
been said that the nomination o
Mr Brunson was somewhat of
j surprise to the people of the Stat
. it was not at all so to I.is friend
I here who wanted anil expected t<
. see him made the leader of th
Prohibition forces in South Caio
| Una.
Joel Kdgar Brunson was bori
in Sumter county fifty one year
ago and as was said in the conven
' lion last night, ho has been a Pro
hihitionist from his birth. IB
j has served longer in the capacity
of grand chief templar than nm
' other man in the State. Whet
1 he took control of the (rood Tetn
plars in this State in 18h0 tin
organization had a membership o
a little over 400 and when he de
clincd to he reelected to the posi
tion of chief templar three years
thereafter, the fourth time he ha<
been offered the place, be b^
earnest and organized effort had it:
his organization 4,f>4'J members,
and had paid off a debt that had
been given him by the organiza
tion and had several hundred dol
lurs in the treasury of the Good
Templars of the State
For the past twenty live years
Mr Brunson has been one of the
most prominent advocates of Prohibition
in The State and a more
worthy champion no cause could
possibly have. lie is a man who
has always had the courage to
speak his convictions and has his
whole life fought for prohibition
straight and simple, with no compromise
whatever.
.Mr Brunson is a man of won
dcrful intellect and broad knowledge
and ho has few peers in the
knowledge of parliamentary law.
He has been "ailed upon to proside
at almost every prohibition
convention or other body that he
has been a member of for several
years past, and he is well known
all over the State us an earnest
and effective worker. The management
of his privato business
atfairs has shown him to be a man
of undoubted judgment in business

that he lias attempted.
For yearn lie lias successfully
operated at Sumter one of the
largest and most prosperous sash,
door and hlind factories in the
State and his lumber factory at
Kingstree is ono of the largest in
the south. By that knack and
energy which knows only success,
Mr Brunson has accumulated considerable
money and he has devoted
considerable mean- to the
cause of prohibition nd th >

I The Prohibitionists of South Carolina
have certainly made no
mistake in the selection of a stun
dard bearer for their cause in
choosing Joel E Hrunson' as their
leader.
Ilou Joel R Hrunson' the next
! governor of South Carolina, arI
rived here, his home, tonight.
Ho was met by a large crowd at
the depot and there was great
cheering and an immense demonstration.
Mr Hrunson was met
by a committee consisting of
' Messrs Chas .1 Eosesnc, Louis J
Hristown, \V \Y Grayson and
G 1* Nelson, and driven lip in
,a carriage accompanied by a great
i crowd, cheering all the way to
Barr's hotel, where he was met
I by a larger crowd and renewed
j cheering. Mr Hrunson was introduced
by Mr Eesesne and made a
short talk to his friends which
was received with applause. At
I the conclusion of the speech Mr
Bristow was called. Ho simplv
announced that a Prohibition lea
1 gue would bo formed which was
j then done, a strong Membership
being enrolled.
A Htendy stream of telegrams
has ?)een coining in to Mr HrunHon
during the entire day from all
parts of the State, congratulating
him and the Prohibition party.
