HON. CYRUS
B, WATSON
Leader of the Bar in Pied
mont North Carolina.
AN ELOQUENT ADVOCATE
HAS MADE SPEECHES EQUAL TO
ANY HEARD IN AN AMERICAN
COURT HOUSE,
A PuBLIC-SPlRITED DEMOCRAT.

To write sketch of Hon. Cyrus B.
Watson, one of the foremost practicing
lawyers of the State, is to write a lesson
that ought truly to be an inspiration
to those deserving young members of the
State bar who are following i'm his foot
steps.
Our subject is a native of the county
in which he now resides, is the son of
John and e. NJ. Watson, and was born
in January, 1915. He springs from one
of the old and distinguished families
of the State, who are of Scotch English
descent.
His boyhood days were spent on the
farm, and in the latter part of the winter
OF 1862 he enlisted as Il private i'll the
Forty fifth North Carolina Regiment,
Daniels old brigade. His valiant sery-
ice as private and the knowledge OF
military affairs, which he soon exhibited.
recommended him to the higher officers,
and he was promoted i'll few months
alter enlisting the the position of ser
geant. -
During his service he was wounded
three times. once in the shoulder, at
Sgsottsylyania Court House. This dis
abled him for service, and he came home,
remaining until the fall of 1864, when
he returned to the ranks and remained
in service until the surrender ut Apo
mattox.
Upon arriving nome from the war he
began clerking in a store. where he con-
tinued until 1867. when he began the
stnGv of law under General j. NJ.
Teach. of Lexington, then one of the
most noted jurists of the State. He re-
ceiyed his license in June, 1860, and in
August following hegan the practice OF
law in Winston, where he has since re-
nTlined.
Mr. Watson represented his county in
the Houstsin 1888. was in the Senate in
IS. and inathe campaign of 1896 made
a strong race for Governor.
Mr. Watsanseasily ranks among the
ablest menathe State has produced. He
is an eeloapent campaigner and wherever
he spoke as, the Democratic candidate
for Governor in 1896 he made votes for
his party1o He always wins the conf
dence of the people TO whom he speaks
because he israiways honest with them.
Mr. Watson has never sought political
office. He has served his people in the
House and Senateawhen they nominated
him. In 1896, to his surprise, he was
named as the candidate for Governor. He
would have made a great and honest
executive. He is lawyera born law
yer and great advocate. He has in
his practice made speeches that deserve
to rank with the efforts of the most bril-
liant men who have graced the Ameri-
can bar
Mr. Watson has been a resident of
Winston nearly thirty years He was
married to Miss A. e. Hanley, daughter
Of Mr.. w. F. Henley, of Kernersyille,
and to this union have been born FIVE
children. He is member of the
knights of Honor and Odd Fellows. AS
a citizen he is wide-awake and progress
i've, courteous in demeancr and polished
in mind, and in his community he wields
an influence of rare magic character.

One of the Largest, Best
Lighted and
Most commodious Tobacco Warehouses in the
State. Able Management.
Great Popularity.

There is no better known tobacco
warehouse in Winston than the Earm-
ers. 1t is one of the most spacious and
admirably appointed i'll the city. 1t was
built in 1881, and has enjoyed continued
and growing prosperity since that time.
1t is a brick structure and lighted III
such a manner as to display to the best
advantage the millions of pounds of the
beautiful yellow leaf, the dark waxy and
all other grades annually sold here. The
Farmers has floor capacity of twenty
two thousand three hundred and ti1ry
square feet, so when farmers come Go
the market in time of big breaks they
need not hesitate to drive to the Farm
ers' fearing that they cannot get IN the
ouse, as there is abundant room for
wagons, tobacco and stock. The stable
and other accommodations are arranged
for the greatest convenience to- the farm
ers, and competent laborers and ware
housemen are constantly at hand 70
serve and look after the interests Of their
guests and patrons. No warehouse en-
joys more wide spread popularity, or IS
more successful in procuring good prices
for tobacco ON sale. About five million
pounds are sold annually. The manage
ment of the warehouse is under Messrs.
Il. w. & A. Is. Gorrell two of the
best tobacco men in the State. They
are hye,energetic young men, who have
been practically brought up in the bust
ness Their father, \. b. Gorrell, de-
ceased founded the business. The popu-
lar managers have an able corps of as
sistants, among them Mr.. X. G. Hop

Tobacco Warehouse
OF Winston.
BROWN AND CARTER,
A Firm Known to All Tobacco Planters, Buyers
and Tobacco Manufacturers of Western
North Carolina. The Home of the
Farmer Where his Interests are
Carefully Looked After.

Browns Tobacco Warehouse needs
no introduction at our hands. 1t mas
existed for more than quart II Of a
century and during all this time It has
been busy writing it's own eulogy and
history, and it stands to-day an open
book to be read by ALL No other To-
bacco warehouse in North Carolina has
such a history Prior to 1877 lis
founder and builder, Major Brown
made a close study as 10 the seci.uns
of the State best adapted to the growth
and cultivation of tobacco, and after
an extended inves tigation tie decided i'll
favor of Winston, and in 1872 vstai,-
lShed q tobacco warehouse. At his
time there was not one hundred pounds
of tobacco, raised in the county, and
people thought that Major Brown was
making mistake-but he was~ firmly
convinced that Winston was the central
town of the most fertile top tobacco
section in the State, and he WcuI TO
work to encourage the planting, cult
walton and manufacture of tobacco, ai'd
to-day he has the satisfaction of seeing
Winston the largest market for working
tobacco III the world, and himself the
proprietor of its largest tobacco ware
house.
The first sale Of leaf tobacco that ever
occurred i'll Winston WAS held in Major
Browns Warehouse February IA. 1872
The warehouse then was small compar-
cd to the large. elegant brick structure
of to-day Mr.. w. Il. Carter became
connected with the business in 1871, aud
since that time the firm has been Brown
and Carter. MessTs. Brown and Carter

march of progress, but they have led it,
and during all these years have been the
most potent factors in the promotion or
Winston-Salemn tobacco interests. In
the course of time the business outgrew
il first building, and early in 1854 the
present admirably appointed structure
was dedicated to the sale of the golden
leaf, betokening a seal of approval as
set upon the warehouse management by
the tobacco growing public In the liberal
patronage which necessitaIed its erec-
ton. 1t has daily capacity of one
hundred and twenty thousand pounds.
Messrs. Brown and Carter have made
the interest of the tobacco grower Il
study and they enjoy the fullest conf
dence and esteem of the entire tobacco
growing section.
The ilrm has as assistants some able
and' popular gentlemen Mr. T. A. Will
son, the book-keeper, has been with the
firm for more than twenty years. Mr..
j. NJ. Wilson, late of Wilson, N c., is
the auctioneer, and has had large ex-
perience in the tobacco business In
concluding the sketch Of this admirable
establishment, we cannot do better than
quote the words of several Danville, Va,
tobacco men, who recent said that the
firm Of Messrs. Brown and Carter gain
ed and held their trade better than any
other firm they had ever seen.
