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

“Throne who always minds it,
when she go,* to pay her taxes.”
was the thoughtful reply of a suffra
gette, "uhe nasked if women go to
tke polls, who will mind the baby,
while its mothers work relaxes.?”
.ATe we. the posterity of a noble
ancestry whoacquiesced in the netes-
aity of a bloody Revolutionary, alto
gether considerate? Thomas Jeffer
son declared that "All men are
created free and equal, and they are
eadowed by their Creator, with cer
tain inalienable rights, among which,
are Life. Ixrve of Liberty and Pur
suits of HapptiMiSs.’^
Hence the little Nation discharged
the yoke of "Taxation Without Rep
resentation.” Then why, compatible
Americans, taxed the female prop
erty owner of our country, without
their suffrage? 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. Constitution
'©ad: “The lights of citizens of the
V. S . to vote, shall not be abridged,
or denied on account of ra< *\ color
or previous mndtion s of servitude?”
We ,'te ilo:bly censured in our
own hehuvior. We have imposed
that taxation upon the helpless wo
man. for the rights o' an honest and
humble tt'^V* liise, to the fair sex, to
whose itifiuelice the prospect of
Anieri a is due. W'e have stamped
their standing beneath the liberty
of an i 1‘orunt sieve for whom our
ri\ I Id nd v as drawn, to right the'r
