Excerpt from Who's Who in South Carolina: A Dictionary of Contemporaries Containing Biographical Notices of Eminent Men of South Carolina 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 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 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, there is an unrecorded remnant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
