Carl

Born at Rostock, Mecklenburg, Germany, in 1858, and was educated in Germany and Pretoria. He went to the Transvaal in 1870, entering the Govt, service as Public Prosecutor for the Waterberg in 1877. He was admitted to practise as advocate at the Transvaal Bar in 1884, and in the early days of the Rand he became joint owner of the Johannesburg Suburbs—Jeppestown and Fordsburg. He was member of the Diggers' Committee in 1877; Chairman of the Chamber of Mines in 1888, and Member of the Johannesburg Chamber of Mines in the following year. Mr Jeppe was elected Member of the Second Raad for the Rand Gold Fields in 1891, but was unseated on the ground of informality and declined to stand again. He was, however, returned as Member for Johannesburg to the First Raad in 1893. He was strongly in favour of extending the franchise to the newcomers under certain conditions; advocated a spirited railway policy and the remodeling of the financial system of the State. During the 1894 session he was the mainstay of the Progressives in the Raad, and fought valiantly in the interests of the Uitlanders. His plea for the alien during the Franchise debate was said by the Argus Annual to have been recognised as the finest piece of oratory ever heard in the Raadzaal, and his speech won over several members of his side who were previously undecided. At the conclusion of the session he was publicly thanked for his efforts in the cause of his constituents. Since the Boer War Mr Jeppe retired from the practice of his profession, and has resided in Cape Town.
