Few men in his part Of the State are
better known than the solid Democratic
member of the House from Gates coun-
ty, j. NJ. Trotman. He was born in
Gates county fifty-four years ago. When
a mere youth he entered the Confeder-
ate army under General Lee in Com
pany B, Fifth North Carolina Resi-
ment, and participated in nearly all thc
important engagements of the war.
When hostilities ceased and peace was
proclaimed he returned to his native
county and the home of his mother to
engage in the peaceful pursuit of farm
ing. In 1863 Mr.. Trotman was mar
ried to Miss Mary f. Fason, daughter
of once very prominent farmer of
Gates county, and unto them have been
born seven children, five of whom are
now living and enjoying the many COM
forts and benedictions bestowed upon
them by an appreciative father and
mother. In 1873 Mr.. Trotman was APP

dustrial pursuits and the Christian la
bors in church and Sunday school. Mr..
Davis was reluctant to go into political
race Because of his hold upon the peo-
pie h was nominated and consented to
make the race,redeeming the county from
fusion rule. During the session, fatal
illness fell upon the lovely wife of Mr.
Davis and in her death he had the SYM
pathy of the whole House. Mr.. Davis
was an excellent representative, taking
special interest in oyster legislation. He
served on the following committees:
Fish Interests. Engrossed Bills, and was
chairman of the Committee on Oysters.

this position by reappointunent for TWEEN
ty years. The Democratic party in
North Carolina has no warmer advocate
of its principles and no man in its ranks
works more zealously for its ascendancy
During the last campaign he made a
thorough, canvass of his county, de-
nouncing fusionism and unfolding true
Democracy and it is due TO
his untiring efforts that his
Republican opponent was defeat
ed by 362 majority. Mr. Trotman
has strong convictions and the
courage to express them. He has made a
splendid record as a legislator and was
member of the Following committees:
Appropriations. Military, Agriculture,
and Ventilation of Capitol Building. he
was a successful farmer and merchant
and was also postmaster at TTotville.

career in that body needs no comment
He was distinctivey recognized
leader in the House, a man
who by his active open course in the be-
half of Democracy, the people and the
State won for himself the plaudits of
grateful public and the high esteem of
the disciples of Democracy. His great
speech on behalf of the adoption Of the
Constitutional amendment will long be
remembered. 1t was masterpiece Of
oratory and unanswerabe logic.
The chamber was crowded, his voice
rang through the vast assembly with
stirring plea for white supremacy and
the protection of the white women Of
North Carolina. AS in that instance. so
in others. As on the floor Of the House
SO in the committee room, his entire at
tention was given to his arduous duties.
He was a member of the following COM

taken very active part upon the floor

for the people whose aims, aspirations

those who avail themselves of their OPP
portunities. The race is not always to
the fleet nor the victory TO the strong,
but perseverance will always tell in the
battles of life. These qualities are pos
sessed in marked degree by Senator
Hallett Sydney Ward one of the young
est and most brilliant members of the
State Senate, gentleman whose friends
are only limited by the number of his ac-
quaintances. The fire and impetus of
young blood and the experience acquired
by close attention to legal matters has
decided his position not alone at his home
but upon the floor of the State Senate
where his battles have peen fought in
the interest of the people of the great
Old North State. Senator Ward is Il
North Carolinian by birth and first saw
the CLEAN of dawn i'll Gates county this
State August 31st, 1870 He was rear
ed on a farm and owing to the fact chat
he was compelled to gain n livelihood,
had few opportunities to acquire an ed
ucation. With a spirit borne of deter
mination to make success in this life,
he applied every spare moment to books,
and for the brief period of six months
attended a school taught by Captain j.
III. Picot, at Buckhorn, this State, and
where he learned to read Latin and
Greek. At the age of nineteen he left
the farm and entered store at Winton.
Subsequently he studied law under Judge
Cowper now member of the State SEN
ate from the first Senatorial District.
Later on he completed the course under
the late DIR. Manning at the State Uni
versity. and was admitted to the bar
January 1st. 1894. He at once engaged
in the active practice of his chosen pro-
fession. Senator Ward is an ardent
Democrat, and has given his services in
the interests of his party. He was NOM
mated for the position he how holds,
without opposition, and his popularity
may in a measure be shown in the fact
that he oyercame an adverse majority
Of 2100 and was elected by majority
of over 400 votes over one competitor

Second Senatorial District.
1t is deemed pleasure to record the
history of men like the gentleman who
is the subject Of this sketch. Ills own
good sterling qualities, as one who has
faithfully served his people and his par
tags interests have certainly earned for
him his present high position. Senator
Miller is a self-made man who has come
to the front by reason Of his own EFFORTS
and determination to overcome all OBJ
stacles He was born in Panlico county
this State, August Ind, 1867, the place
he now resides ut. His father died when
he had but reached his fourteenth year,
leaving him an orphan and the care or
three children younger than himself
However, never dannted and with true
grit he set to work, and kept the wolf
from the door. He was reared OH
farm and now has fine farm OF his
own purchased by his own earnings.
Owing to the fact that he was compelled
to support himself and the other children
his opportunities for obtaining an educa-
ton were limited. Senator Miller married
Miss Claudie McCotter, Of Pamlieo coun-
ty. and this union has been blessed win
fonr children. Locally the Senator was

that he entered politics actively. At that
time he canvassed the county in the in
terest Of his party and made strong
fight against G. NJ. Babbitt who voted for
Pritchard, as a Populist. While serving
the interests of the Democratic party,
he never sought all office, nor was be
even aware, in 1898 that his name would

committee. Like Cincinnatus he was at
work on the farm when the news reach
ed him Of his nomination. He was elect
ed by a good majority and the choice
was wise one, as has since been de-
monstrated He has devoted his time
to the looking after all legislation that
had as its foundation the good of the
people. the State and the party. Senator
Miller introduced the Bill to exempt Ex-
Confederate Soldiers from license tax.
