In presenting Who's Who in South Carolina, the author desires to thank Alexander S. Salley. State Historical Commissioner, and

other men who hare rendered much valuable information tn the

matter of suggesting men whose names are worthy of perpetuation.

Here are epitomised 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 who are bearing an important share In fashioning the still more grand Tomorrow of our State.

The work of selecting the names and procuring biographical material has been prosecuted with the utmost seal and care; but. while the results have been gratifying. It is true thst 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, there

Is an unrecorded remnant.

One of the chief purposes of this book Is to place before the students of this State the achievements of the successful men of

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 many

extraordinary examples of industry which are overlooked In a cur¬

sory reading, hut which, nevertheless, are full of valuable sugges¬ tions for the thoughtful mind. Hundreds of activities are chron¬ icled which might be emulated with profit, not only by the youth of the State, but by all classes. GEDD1KOS H. CRAWFORD. p
