Under the ownership of Mr. S. P. Crotwell the Crotvwell hotel maintains constantly accommodations of the most substantial and comfortable character. The meals serv- j ed to guests always contain a variety of choice meats and vegetables, the best assortment that can possibly be secured in the local market, a great deal of the food supplies coming direct from the farm of the owner and being The Crot?

To | p( the needs of his guests Mr. Leake gives j personal attention and supervision, be- ; 0 ing efficiently assisted by Mrs. Leake,!a' who is ever alert to see that everything j is in readiness for the reception and j c! entertainment of guests.

M, BUFORD. ^ Sheriff of Newberry County. Now completing his fourth term as sheriff of Newberry county, Capt. M. M. Buford will end that term with aj record characterized by fidelity to the i interests of the people as a whole and j by the efficiency and reliability which | has marked his administration generally. Born in Union county in 1846, and removing here 12 years later with his parents, the subject of this sketch | has been associated practically all his! life with its people and its institutions j and his continuous re-election to his present position defines in the most! substantial manner his popularity and j his standing. After securing an ele-, * -i xz - i ! mentary training at tne oia neiui school house he serried down to farm wotk, which was the sole pursuit of his earlier lire and in which he has | always been interred. The career of? C:^pt. Buford has been one of stirring activities. Entering the Confederate I army at the outbreak of the Civil war,! when only sixteen years old, he served j until the surrender of General Joe j Johnson. At the close of the war he ' returned home and was made captain nf thp erack "Red Shirt" companies of j Newberry county, afterwards being | tried in the.United States court as a; Ku-Klux. I In 1S96 Capt. Buford was elected; sheriff of the county by a large ma- j jority and has served continuously j te since that time, making a record sur-! ^ passing that of any other sheriff in j al the State, if not in the entire South. I -J< This record is one to which the people I e 1 ? 1 t? I. J rell HeteL v enerally point with pride, for he has ever yet allowed a prisoner to get way from him. If one has escaped e has always been recaptured. He as taken into custody more noted riminals than any other officer in outh Carolina and has brought more risoners back from other States than nv other man in the service. For lis reason he is, to the law-breaker, ie most dreaded official of this day to e found in the South. In handling the ! riminal element he is positive, yet ind and considerate. Capt. M. M. Bu>rd is one of those officials who has I ways made good. He is popular and rogressive and belongs to that group f men who can always be relied 011 to upport any measure or proposition iiich h;is in it the merit of advancing ie interests of the community, whetlir this bi good roads, better educaoi;:il t':Lcilitics. or belie methods of ir*"ing. All such subjects receive his e.irty endorsement and active influnce. It means that kind of progress' "hicli is a bcnelit to all of the people ud promotes the interests of the enre" community. H. H.

This, in brief, tells the life story of 1. H. Rikard, a self-educated man, a pillar official and citizen and proressive farmer. It is a record of hich any man can justly be proud, lowing, as it does, indomitable pluck, iiergy and perseverence. i f The subject of this sketch was born ear Pomaria, in this county, on De3inber 27, 1864, and his first schoollg was received in the neighborhood t* his home, later attending Bethel cademy. His next step was to attend ie school connected with St. Paul's j tiurch, which was also four miles j om his home, . n^re by hard work he btained the nucleus for the broader nowiedge which he later acquired at ie Prosperity high school, at Erskine allege, and at Newberry college, from i- - - ^ ?

The acquirement of knowledge, owever, was not without it shardlips, for the money to pay for his eduition was earned by clerking in a run try store at intervals and by caching school, which latter profes011 he followed for 14 years after his' raduation. In 1901 his ability was ^cognized by his election to the of-: :e of Master of Equity for Newberry : ounty, a position which he still holds f reason of his sound judgment, and ie duties of which he fills with honor ; id credit to himself and in a manner ighly satisfactory to the court, for he j is the honor of being one of the few j asters in Equity in the State whose; visions are never reversed.
