» - V* JH PADGETT FOR CONGRESS A8T1RES TO SUCCEED THE LATE CpMGRESSMAN' LEGARE. NUN AND REARED ON FARM \ Ufc S(K'Bt io humble Cir« RMsg by Ability *»d Col James Graham Padgeit is a product of Colleton County. He is proud of that fact. Born in a 14x14 log cabin on Beef Branch in 166i*. he has lived amongst his home peo ple for forty-three years nr.-l has won and kept their eonfiuc.iee and esteem. He is proud of thur tact, too. lie is the son of Ca;»t H r*. Padgett, es-Clerk cf Court of ' nil - -ton County and his moth-',, before her n.am.igc to ' apt i'au^c was Mies Isabella tjocdw,,. aa a Presidential elector. As presi dent of ?h*> eU»rtora!'lcollefe 1 he cast his tote for Woodrow Wilson for President of the United States. Colonel Padgett is a well-rounded, capable man of experience, and as a coi.tT'essman would reflect credit on the district. He understands the needs of the rural districts as well as that cf the tofccs and cities. Be ing cf poor parentage and raised on the farm to work, he perhaps better understands, and sympathises with the farmer more than any other man in the race. He has never lost his interest in that life, and for a num ber-of years back, has run a three- horse farm near Walterboro and made money at It. too. He believes that more attention should be given by Congress to the rural life of the nation, to drainage, to post roads, and to the protection of the products of the farm, and if he is sent to Con gress. he intends to bend bis fight ing energies in that direction. Jim Padgett fortune is in his fr.ends, and he has numbers of them in Qolletcn and other counties who v.-ish i in veil. There is scarcely an- r.’her man in the district out of pub- :if life who is kno>M» so well. In • ■olieton County he knows by name almost every man. He is proud of his friends more than of all his rvher ro^session*. “For of whom phould a man be proud, if not of his friends.” J. M. M. COL J. G. PADGETT Candidate for Congre**. Col Padgett’s boyhood was that of other boys whose parents were poor. His youth was spent at work on a farm and he enjoyed none of the pleasures ncr advantages of life in a town. The intermittent school ing, which his work on his father’s farm pernltUed. was gotten around Williams.^ A big sturdy fellow at fourteen, he knew practically noth- iag. Fortunately, for him and oth er of his boyhood companions, his fatfeer and other foresighted citi- seas of Warren township organised aeehool at Snaoaks Croat Roads, and placed at the head of it that pioneer and prototype of teachers. Prof Andrew C. Hlers Under this ex cellent gentleman’s wise tuition, his ambition was fired and the charac ter of a life time formed. Col Pad gett loves to say that if he has made any thing out life worth while, he is indebted for it largely to this great hearted man. His father, being unable to pay his way through college, in 1888 he won a scholarship to the Citadel over 15 competitors and graduated from that college in the Class of 1892. Col Padgett has always enjoyed that happy facul- of making friends, and to a man his schoolmate? as a boy and his college-mates as a young man have stuck to him. He is proud of that fact. too. As a beneficiary of the State, the '~w required him to teach for a time *n its public schools, so immediately upon graduation he came hark to his home county and taught at St. George, which was then a part of Colleton County. After teaching at St. George he studied law under Howell, Murphy and Farrow until the dissolution of that firm, when he continued his studies under Howell k Gruber. In 1895 he was admitted to the Par and formed a partnership with the lamented J. S. Griffin for the prac tice of his profession at Walte-boro. Even for a wife he did not go out of the county. In 1897 he married Miss Ethel Moorer. daughter of D r Plmkney L. and Martha 11. Moorer of St. George. St George was yet a part of Colleton County. It is ah in teresting fact that his wife was his "former pupil. Col. Padgett needs no introduc tion to the people of Colleton Coun ty. He is one of them and has been all his'life. By his sheer abil ity. as a lawyer, his keen insight into human nature and a fortunate trait which causes him to make his clients cause his own and fight for them to the last ditch; he has risen to the top of his profession at his home bar, and has always anjoyed an extensive practice. A man need not be rich to secure his services. Those who know hi mbest, know that his services, are for all. Some of his hardest fights have been made for the poor without compensation. There fa scarcely a case in Court in which his services tre not eagteed as counsel of the opposing parties, and he baa, perhaps, defended more criminals than any other lawyer in lower South Carolina, being remark ably successful; At present he is a county attorney and the senior member of the firm of Padgett, Le in acks A Moorer. ~ Col Padgett has always taken a keen interest in all public affairs sad subscribed liberally thereto. He has served as a school trustee, and officer of the Fair Association, chair man of the Board of Stewards and a trustee of the Methodist church at Walterboro, an alternate to the Democratic Convention at Baltimore, a colonel on the staff of Governor D. C. Heyward, and in 1912 he was elected by the Democrats of the State arte!. iv.lie.

Didn’t the same God who created man. create woman? Did he or c’.id he not endow her with the same inalienable rights? do v.e. •>r do \.e not deny the citizenship of our women? doesn’t the thirteenth amendnu nt of the U.
