, dent of the electoral college, he cast
j h.s tote foi* Woodrow Wilson for
i President of the United States.
Colonel Padgett is a well-rounded,
capable man of experience, and as a
coi.g'essman would reflect credit .on
the district. He understands the*
needs of the rural di/trtets as 'well
as that of the towns and cities. Be
ing of poor parentage and raised on
the farm to work, he perhaps better
understands, and sympathizes 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 I'ongress 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, ho intends to bend his fight-
ng energies in that direction.
Jim Padgetf fortune is in his
friends, and he has numbers of them
in Colleton and other counties who
wish him well. Thf ro is scarcely an
other man in the district out of ptib-
lif life who is kno"n so well. In
Colleton County he knows by name
almost every man. He is proud of
his f:iends more than of all his
other possessions. “For of whom
should a man be proud, if not of hit:
friend*” J- M M.

Col Padgett’s boyhood was that
of other boys whose parents were
poor. His youth was spent at work
oa a farm and he enjoyed none of
tha pleapuree nor advantages of life
la a town. The intermittent school
ing, v which his work on hie father’s
‘firm' permitted, was gotten .around
Williams. A big sturdy fellow at
fourteea. he knew practically noth
ing. Fortunately, tor him sad oth
er of hie boyhood companions, hto
father aad other foresighted citi-
seaa of Warren township organised
a school at Bmoaka Cross Roads, and
placed at the head of It that pioneer
and prototype of teachers. Prof
Andrew C. Hiere Under this ex
cellent gentleman’s wise tuitkm, his
ambition was fired and the charac
ter of a life time formed. Col Pad
gett loves to aey that If he has made
any thlag out life worth while, be
ie indebted for it largely to this
great hearted man. Hie father,
being unable to pay bis way through
college, in 1S8S he won e scholarship
to the Citadel over 15 competitors
epd graduated from that college in
the Class of lt92. Col Padgett
has always enjoyed that banov facul-
of making friends, and to n
man hit scbooimates as a boy and
his college-mates as a young man
have stuck to him. He is proud of
that fact. too.
As a ben^ficiirv of th» «?tate. th»
"'•w required him to teach for a time
is its public schools, so immediately
upon graduation he came back 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 A Gruber. In
1895 he was admitted to the Bar
and formed a partnership with the
lamented J. S. Griffin for the nrao-
tice of his profession at Walterboro.
Even for a wife he did not go out
,, of the countv. In 1897 he married
Miss Ethel Moorer, daughter of Ii r
Pin^knev L. and Martha H. Moorer.
of St. George. St George was yet a
part of Colleton County. Tt is an in
teresting fact that h‘s wife was his
former pupil.
Col. Padgett needs no introduc
tion to the people of Colleton Coun

been ail his life. By his sheer abiK
ity. as a lawyer, his keen insight

to the-top of his profession at his

an extensive >practice. A man need
not be rich to secure bis services.

that bin services are for all. Some
of his hardest fights have been made
for the poor without compensation.

Col Padgett has always taken Hk
keen interest in all public affairs
and subscribed liberally thereto. He
has served ss a school trustee, sad

ecorts at this place will be crowned
with success. We also trust that we
shall have the co-operation of our
friends in this section, a good at
tendance every Sunday, prepared
lessons and careful and prayerful at-
•ention from each pupil. All this
is necessary to make our Sunday
school a success.
Hoping for the success and ad
vancement of Sunday school work
wherever Sunday schools exist, and

she would not talk of death. She

success here. Pefore beginning tb.i

has given to the State many of Its
ablest men. and took the law course
at the University of Virginia, thus
preparing himself ably for the great
work which he has accomplished.

Solicitor Jervey which the Solicitor
expressed about Mr Peurifoy, viz:
that Mr Peurifoy was only keeping
the Solicitor from his usual pleasure

vote waa counted, it waa found that
Mr Peurifoy had led Mr Jervey,
Charleston, the home of Mr Jervey,
by nearly 1,000 votes, and that Mr
Peurifoy'a majority in the district
was nearly 2,500 votes. Thus,
against a man who had made a suc
cess of that position for many years.
Mr Peurifoy won by a large majority.

dealing with hit own acconfplish-
ments. Mr PeSrifov sought to press
on the minds of the people certain
needed revisions of the criminal law
of the State. His efforts along this
line will certainly bear fruit.
Mr. Peurifoy’a record as Solicity
is one that might well be envied lV
any Solicitor of the State. His
tenure of office has resulted in .t
more rigid enforcement of 'll! th“
laws, and, through his efforts, manv
criminals have been made to feel the
penalty of crime. As an example
