In Mr.. Ii. H. Holcombe the Waynes-
Vile bar has one of its most popular
representatives, although he is among
the youngest of its practitioners. More
over Mr.. Holcombe is proud of the fact
that he is thoroughly North Carollnian

in sympathy with anything and every
thing that tends to advance the interests
of his native State generally, and

College and subsequently attended the
State University, took the law course in
eight months and in September, 1893,
was licensed to practice, since which
time lie has diligently pursued the pro-
fession. He is not Il politician, but has
always been interested in the country's
continuous political strife and during
the Iast campaign was vigorously active
in fllrthering the cause of the Demo
cratic party and made a good many POI
ltical speeches. He has built up a fine
reputation as a careful and painstaking
lawyer and is looked upon by Il large
clientage as being a safe one to trust
their cases with. He has remarkably
clear conception of the fundamental
principles of law and as an advocate

county having previously gone the other
way by POGO votes.
He is an uncompromiSing Democrat
