Mr.. Chaplin assured him that ne would
vote for the bill under discussion. al
though IL imposed some hardships on his
own county.
c. G. WATSON.
Mr.. Charles G. Watson. one of the four
members from Plttsylyania county, is
another representative farmer. Although
comparatively young man, and GER
tainly a tyro in a legislative capacity. he
has already shown that his constituents
made a wise selection when they con-
ferred upon him the honor OF selection
for the Legislature. He is son OF Col
onel /. y. Watson. who himself repre-
scented Pittsylvania in the General Assem-
bly, for a number Of terms. He received
his education at the Virginia Military In
stitute, and his military training Is ap-
parent to all who come In contact with
him.
While he does not infringe upon the
time of the House and refrains from
participating in public debates, he is
hard worker in the committees. He
makes valuable member OF the Com
mittee on Schools and Colleges. on Manu-
features and Mechanic Arts and on En-
rolled bills.
e. NJ. CARTER.
Mr.. r.. NJ. Carter, the member from
Scott county. is one Of the striking fig
ures on the floor Of the House. He is
tall and slenderiy built and stan1s six
feet two inches in his stocking feet.
When participating in the debate he re-
minds one very much OF the Rev T. lie
Witt Talmage. He invariably begins his
speeches with an apology for taking up
the time OF the House. but he Is at
once closely listened TO by all who are
within the reach OF his voice.
His style Is forcible and his remarks
are made still more attractive by being
judiciclsly interspersed with wit and
sarcasm. He is. Of course. very fond Of
his county and the entire Southwest an d
is always ready TO resent any unjust
criticism npon that section OF the State.
lie first became conspicuous as a ready
debater when Mr. Wlnborne. OF Rock
bridge. called attention TO the excessive
criminal expenses of Scott county, ana
Mr. Carriers explanation proved to be
very satisfactory.
