Tne Railroad Commission has become an office of great importance. Recognizing this, we nominate John Glover Mobley, of Fairfield County, for Railroad Commissioner. He is a lawyer by education, and has been admitted to the Bar of our State. For a number of years he has been engaged in farming and dairy husbandry, and has done much to improve the breeding of horses and dairy cattle. He is a practical farmer, thoroughly in sympathy with the agricultural interests, manufacturing and the development of our resources along the lines of industry. He has been conspicuous for his public spirit and untiring energy. Although a mere boy in 76, he rendered most efficient services to the Democratic party when radical misrule was overthrown and white supremacy established. He has always taken an active part in politics, and has ever regarded the interest of a friend as his own. He is a member of the military of the State, and has been connected with the service for maDy years. He is a Director of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, and has held f v> of nnnifion frvi* nrfcon vanra TTa fcJJLCtU ^UOiVlV/U iUl 4VU1 JUdlO* XXC is also President of the South Carolina Live Stock and Dairyman's Association. In the Legislature, his ability and knowledge cf the law and his fairness were well displayed; always courteous, 'out determined in his support of the right. In recognition of his worth, the Legislature made him a Director of the State Penitentiary almost unanimously. He was a candidate in the lrifct election for Railroad Commis sioner, and received a most handsome vote, being third in the race ol ten candidates. At its next session the Legislature re-elected him a Director of the State Penitentiary foi the second tim9 by an almost unanimous vote. Captain Mobley possesses the golden art of making friends Courteous in manner, and firm in hit character, he would make a popular as well as most capable official. He would study the problem of trans portation, and do justice without feai or favor. The splendid vote he received in the last election for Railroac Commissioner warrants his friend* in again placing hie name in nomina tion and respectfully submitting hit qualifications and his pre-eminent fitness for the office to the people o: the State.
