Tbc Democratic convention lo Ral
eigh last Thursday waa one of the
strongest nud biggest gatherings the
tie* of Decnocrnoy ever drew together
lo the capital city. It met for work,
did the work, aud adjourned. Lack
of space prevents us presenting a de
tailed report of all tbc Incidents that
lent interest to the meeting. We
have to be oontented with little more
than a rcoord of results. Here Is the
ticket nomloaled:
Governor. Cyrus B. Watson, of
Forsyth.
LleuUGoveruot', Tboa. W. Mason,
of Northampton.
Secretary of State, Chat. M. Cooke,
of Franklin.
Treasarer, C. R. Ayoooks, of
Wayne.
Auditor, Kobt M. Furman, of
Buocombc.
Attorney General, Frank I. Osborne,
of JMtckienbarg.
Sopt. Pub. Tnsteruetloo, Jno. C.
Scarborough, of Jobueoo.
Associate Joatleoe, A. C. A vary, of
Burke and U. n. Brown, of Beaufort.
Tiie withdrawal of J. S. Carr from
the race for Governor, left the delegates
at sea Clark’s refusal to allow lbs use
of his name did not loseen the confu
sion. Meanwhile sentiment was crys
tals og about Cy Watson. Presently
the currents set toward him, end long
before the first roll-call waa concluded
It was seen that the Aral ballot would

Cyrus li. Wataon is tba oldest too of
the lata John Wataon, Eaq., and waa
born January 14, 1844, near Ksrncre
vUta, in what waa tbao a part of
Stokes, but formlug now a very im
portant section of this (Foreytb)
county. His mother, Mrs. Marlah
Wataon, is still living at tbe old bone
place oo tba X. W. A. a railroad, 8
mile* above Ksrnsrrrllle in Forsyth

Prom early obildbood he waa
especially bright and cave promise of
great msntsl activity end capacity.

tboee afforded by tbe ooanty common
schools of that day.
Wlieo the dark oloods of the late
civil war arose sod hovered threaten
ingly over tbe 8oalfaland, although
only 16 r*tri of age, ha erne one of tbe
first to siloolder arms and go out from
tbs home of bis boyhood to fight,
suffer and, if needs be, die for tbs Con
federate cause. lie served moat
valiantly aa sergeant of Compaay K,
Forty fifth Begimeot, North Carolina
Troops. He was seriously wounded si
both Williamsport, Md., and SpotUyl
vanla Court donee.
When the war had closed Mr. Wat
son laid down hla arms and cane ^
to hla Keroersville boms. Be carved
both there and at High Foist for a
year or two as a cisrk. Ho afterwards
studied law under the late J. H.
Leach. at Lexington, anil was ad
mltud to the bar In 1868. During the
next year. I860, bs was united in mar
riaae to Miss A. E. lieu ley, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. W. I*. Henley.
Slnoe tbe war. while loyal In every
nay to tbo Federal government, be has
st all times, by both word and action,
shown himself an earnest defender of
tbs South and her Interests. He la an
active member of the Norfleet Camp,
No. 43b, United Confederate Veterans.
Mr. Watson rose rapidly to promi
nence In Ills nhosen profession, develop
ing into an able practitioner, especially
adroit and successful Id tbe nooduct of
criminal esusoe.
In 1883 Mr. Watson was elected to
the North Carolina State Senate,
thirty.second district. He served as
an efficient member of tbe oommkttees
ou Interual Improvement, the Coda,
redlstrletlug the State, judiciary and
mveral others. He was a hard-work
ing Senator, la every war representing
bis district with much ocwdlt to him
self and constituency. It Is to Mr
Watson that ts doe the credit tor
originating and cnglniertog, to aue
oeasful enactment, the most notable
and salutary law of tbit year, the
famous sotHyceh law. He was e loo
ted to tbe donate by s majority of 1.305.
About loTO Mr. Wttion formed a
co-parU«*T»liip, for tbe practice of low,
wlUi tbe late W. D. Glenn, with whom
he was associated until 1883, when th*
present well known tew firm of Wateoo
£ Bnxloo, which ranks es one of tbe
foremost legal combinations In tbe
but*, was formed.
Again In 18B3, Mr. Watson wee
called to public llfa, baring been
elected to the lower house of the State
legislature. In Oils position he. a* In
th» Senate of 1888, labored diligently
for the beet Interests of hit constit
uency and State at large.
He was tbe author and earnest advo
cate of lbs famous anti-trust measure
Introduced In tbe House by blmeelf,
and passed that body by a good majori
ty, but was Ooandered and defeated lo
the Senate by a bare majority. Tbe
direct aim of this measure wan to
throw off tbe heavy yoke of trusts and
comM nations, which have for aeveral
years been sapping the life from North
Carolina Industry sod hindering her
material prosperity. It aimed an
eapeelal blow at that arch enemy of
tbe tobaooo planter, the Amerloao
Tobacco Company. Mr. Watson dur
tng this term of tho Legislature served
as ohalrmaa of the commutes oe bank

It was during thla aaaalon that Mr.
Watson made bit deepest and most
honorable Impression upon th* people
and Mm State at large an an uuoompro
intatug Democrat sod. as Forsyth*!
recent convention nr p men cut it, “tbe

was with commendation like unto tbe
qnotation Just used that the Forsyth
