SOUTH CAROLINA Printed ^ McCaw g^ Columbia 19 2 1 o r e w o In presenting Who's Who in South Carolina, the author desires to thank Alexander S. Salley, State Historical Commissioner, and other men who have rendered much valuable information in the matter of suggesting men whose names are worthy of perpetuation. Here are epitomized the stories of opportunity grandly improved by hundreds of men who have helped to shape the conditions of today in South Carolina thought and action and wiio are bearing an important share in fashioning the still more grand TomoiTOw of our State. The work of selecting the names and procuring biographical material has been prosecuted with the utmost zeal and care; but, while the results have been gratifying, it is true that there are names that should be included that are absent. In a State as large as ours even approximate success in the judicious selection of a certain class of distinguished names is a difficult task; and, after they are selected appropriate data in regard to them are not always procurable. Therefore, even with the utmost effort, thet:e is an unrecorded remnant. One of the chief purposes of this book is to place before th ? students of this State the achievements of the successful -^on ol^ this State in the hopes that their examples may create an interest and arouse a spirit of emulative homage which cannot fail to Prove of great practical benefit to the pupil in after life. A close examination of the sketches in this volume disclose ^^^y extraordinary examples of industry which are overlooked in a ^^^' sory reading, but which, nevertheless, av6 full of valuable sugtS®^- tions for the thoughtful mind. Hundreds of activities are chi^^^' icled which might be emulated with profit, not only by the yoii^'^ of the State, but by all classes. | GEDDINGS H.
