Joel Edgar Brunson, the nominee for Governor of fc'outh CaroliI na, was born in Sumter county a 1 little over fifly one years ago and, as was said in the convention . when he was nominated, has been a Prohibitionist from his birth. {lie has been prominently identified with the Good Templars lor | the past twenty-five years, and 1 has served this State as Grand I f Iamimh thoM onu V^IIICI J Cllljnai nmi^ci man ?uj other man. When he took control of the Good Templars in this State, in 1889, the organization had a membership of a little over four hundred, and when he declined to be elected to the position of chief templar three years thereafter, the fourth time he had been offered the place, he, by earnest and organized effort, had in his organization 4,54-2 me-fibers, and had paid off a debt due by the organization when he took charge, ha>1 spent for the work of frohibilion over three thousand dollars, and had several hundred dollars in the treasury of the Good Templars of the State. For the past twenty-five years Mr. Brunson has been one of the most prominent idvocates of Prohibition in the State, and a more worthy champion no cause could possibly have. He is a man who has always had the courage to speak his convictions, and has his whole life fought for Prohibition straight, and simple with no compromise whatever. Mr. Brunson is a man of wonderful intellect and broad knowledge, and he has few peers in this State in the knowledge of parlia mentarv law. Be has been called upon to preside at almost every Prohibition Convention or other body that he has been a member of for several years past, and he is well known ill over the State as an earnest and effective worker. The management of his private business affairs has shown him to be a man of undoubted judgment in business matters, and he has never been known to fail in a single undertaking that he has attempted. For years he has successfully operated at Sumter one of the largest and most propperous sash, door and blind factories in the State,and hislamber lactory at Kingstree is one of the largest, and most finely equipped in the South.
