The nomination of Mr. Brunson
as somewhat a surprise to the
late, but mU to those who have

lessers. W. M. Keels, A McA

3RUNSON,
r Governor.
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

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. By that knack and
