manufacturing enterprises have been inaugurated, affording employment to thousands on land, which a few years ago was worthless. In 1902 Mr. Cosgrove was defeated for re-election by a small majority, owing to opposition to the idea of drainage. He determined to retire from politics, but in 1906, answering the call of his people as voiced in leading editorials in the press of Charleston, he consented to again become a candidate and was elected by a flattering vote and re-elected by a still larger vote in 1908. He is chairman of the Charleston Delegation in the House of Representatives and chairman of the Committee on Banking and Insurance. Mr. Cosgrove’s efforts in behalf of the drainage of the low lands of the United States have been recognized by his appointment as member of the Executive Committee of the National Drainage Congress and Honorary Vice-President of the Seventeenth National Irrigation Congress. As a corollary of his drainage work, Mr. Cosgrove has been giving much attention to the subject of good roads, and has now on the calendar of the Legislature a measure providing for state aid to the building of good roads. In 1885 Mr. Cosgrove was married to Miss Mathilde Griffith Forsythe, daughter of a prominent and wealthy dry goods merchant of Charleston. COUGHLIN, JOHN, 177 Water Street, Augusta, Me.
