The Man for Railroad
Commissioner.
BACEEB BY STRONG- MEN
To the Voters of South Carolina:
No public question of recent years
has elicited more common interest in
South Carolina, and, indeed, in the
whole country, than that of the regulation
and restriction of great corporations
and combinations withjn the
bounds of the law.
Of these great corporations none
have so close a connection with our
great material welfare and interests
as do the railroads, as upon them
depends our intercourse and commerce
with the outer world. They
are, indeed, the very fibre of our material
growth and development as a
State and a people. By the maintenance
of just and equitable laws as
between our people and the railroads
?their public servants?alone can
these creatures of the law be rendered
most serviceable to the State
as a whole and assist in the progressive
march which the State has
begun, and at the same time, yield
the best returns to those who own
their stocks.
In the light of these principles our
State has enacted laws providing for
a Kailroad Commission, composed of
representative men to be elected
from her people, whose duty is to
regulate and adjust the passenger
and freight rates of the respective
roads within the State with justice
and impartiality, assuring to the people
equal rights to all and special I
privleges to none.
That the spirit of this law may be
fulfilled it is expedient and necessary
that this commission, in whose hands
lies more of our material welfare and
prosperity than in any other department
of ou^ government, should be
composed, not only, of men of the
highest integrity, but of education,
experience and tried business capacity;
men, who by profession and
.1.1. i._ .'it i T
training, are auie to cope wun toe
finest business and legal talent that
money can buy.
Realizing as we do the necessity
and utility of the most vigorous administration
of the affairs of this Commission
and its establishment upon a
stable business basis, and. moreover.
that these great ends can only be
obtained by maintaining the highest
standard in the personnel of its members,
we, the undersigned citizens of
Marion county, present for your
attention the name of Mr. W. Boyd
Evans, a man hailing from our midst
and whom we believe possesses those
high attributes which will qualify
him to meet the obligations of the
office to which he aspires with the
greatest efficiency and honor. We
feel that a word setting out what
manner of man he is will not be
amiss.
. W. Hpyd Evans is the son of a
gallant Confederate soldier. He is
essentially a self-made man, for his
father lacking the means to bear the
expense of his college education, he
met those expenses himself unaided,
by dint of hard work and untiring
r40V,,V4UUvv.
While still at college, Mr. Evans
was elected against sharp competition
to fill the position of Secretary of the
Judiciary Committee of the Constitutional
Convention of '95, and in
that position exhibited such marked
ability as to have attracted the attention
of Wm. H. Ellerbe, who
afterwards, becoming Governor of
the State, appointed him as bis
private Secretary. Mr. EvanB held
this responsible position with the
utmost satisfaction to his chief, and
during the last desperate illness of
Governor Ellerbe, covering the
greater part of a year, during which
time the duties and responsibilities
of that high office devolved almost
entirely upon his shoulders, he acquitted
himself with ability and
dignity. During the performance of
these arduous duties, however, he
found time to enter upon and complete
the study of Law at the South
Carolina College, and has since the
expiration of his term, practiced his
profession in Columbia.
After the return of our regiments
from the war with Spain, Mr. Evans
discovering that these soldiers could,
under the National laws, claim
further awards for their services, i
entered claims for about fifty thousand
dollars with the War Department
in Washington for back pay to
South Carolina soldiers; of this he
collected and turned over to them
upwards of twenty thousand dollars,
which, but for his sagacity and energy,
TOnnl/J havA hfifin Inst to those brave
fellows.
For a period of nearly eight years
Mr. Evans has been connected, in one
capacity or another, with the Legislative
Department of our Government,
acting as Secaetary to the
! various Committees of the two
houses.
His residence in Columbia, the
I headquarters of the Railroad Commission,
renders Mr. EvanB a peculiarly
fitting choice for the position
to which he aspires, inasmuch as it
would give the Commission a resident
member at headquarters, thus
keeping the office always accessible
to those having business before it.
Moreover, his residence at headnnorfcrd
ronnH eliminate the matter
\^UU& bVA W ft ?
of costs and expenses in his case,
which are incurred by all nonresidents,
and must be incurred by
all of the other aspirants
for ibis position, and which, by no j
means, is an inconsiderable item of
the State's burden.
In the light of the facts and
reasons enumerated above, we have
no hesitation in recommending, and
do recommend gladly the candidacy
of Mr. W. Boyd Evans.

June 2, 1902. Loyalty.
A Useful Life.
Do not try to do a great thing; you
may waste all your life waiting for
the opportunity which may never
come. But since little things are
always claiming your attention, do
them as they come, from a great motive,
for the glory of God, to win His
smile of approval and do good to men.

acting thue, than to stand on the high
places cf the field, within the view of
all, and do deeds of valor at which
rival armies stand still to gaze. But
no such act goes without the swift
recognition ana the ultimate recompense
of Christ. To fulfill faithfully
the duties of your statioD; to use to
the uttermost the gifts of our ministry;
to bear chafiDg annoyances and
j the trivial irritations as martyrs bore
I the pillory and stake; to find the one
! noble trait in people who try to annoy
j you; to put the kindest construction
! on unkin.d acts and words: to be conJ
tent to be a fountain in the midst of
j a wild valley of stones, nourishing a
few lichens and wild flowers, or now
and again a thirsty sheep; and to do
this always, not for the praise of man,
but for the sake of God?this makes
a great and useful life.
Tribute cf Respect.
At a meeting of the St. Johns
Church Council the following tribute
of respect were adopted:
Whereas, God in his infinite wisdom
has removed from our midst and |
association, Brother Benj Bawl, who
has been so closely connected with
us in the upbuilding and administration
of our church work?having
been a member of the council for a
period of over thirty yeare;
And whereas, we, the council of
St. John's Evangelical Lutheran
church, desire to express our appreciation
of the fidelity of our dear
brother, to the interests of the church
and to make known our sorrow for
hie having been removed from our
council. Therefore be it resolved,
1st. That St. Johms church has
lost one of her most valuable and
earnest councilmen and members.
2nd. The community in which he
lived has been deprived of one of
her best aod kindest neighbors, and
the family has been bereft of a gentle
and loving father.
