Mr. Jeanes in point of service, was one of the oldest. merchants in the city. He was born Oct. 26, 1874 in the Rocky Springs ^section near here, a son of the late Thomas PenTt Jeanes and Ida Simpson Jeanes, one of the county’s widely connected and highly regarded families. In 19(K'he moved to Clinton and operated a bot tling plant for to9ft drinks in a wood-/ an building about where h. 6. lard’s store now rtands.

Most political Oibservfers in South Carolina profess to see' in the de clination by Mayor Burnet R;.

Maybank’s friendiT here sa;^ that he Is too busy in Charleston, ‘ not'bene^e in with* the affairs of that city, to have accepted the Roosevelt tender, any way, but that its rejection was not needed to convince them that May- barik would lie in the gubernatorial race—and a strong contender, they say.
