example to the youth of North Carolina.
Howard Alexander Foushee did not need
the prestige Of distinguished ancestry to
secure for himself his present promi-
nence, though he was not lacking in that
tine-honored possession-a noble ances-
try.
He is native of Person county, this
State. and is the Oldest son of Alexander
r. Foushee, leading merchant, tobac-
conist and planter.
As lad he passed through the Rox-
boro Academy and at Henderson under
Professor II. J. Horner. In each of
these institutions he acquitted himself
most creditably, securing the. commenda-
ton and respect of his tutors and the
confidence and esteem of his school
mates A broader scope was opened to
his young mind, when he entered famous
old Wake Forest College in September,
1885, and was graduated from there in
June, 1880 Subsequently he taught
school, and then read law at the Uni
yersity Of North Carolina under John
Manning. l.. J.. D., and Chief Justice
James f. Shepherd. He was admitted to
the bar by the Supreme Court during the
September term, 1898.
Locating at Durham, where he has
since resided. he formed a co-partnership
with Hon. James s. Manning, which
firm still continues.
Mr.. Foushee has made an excellent
record at the bar, and his name is high
on the roll Of distinguished attorneys of
the State He has served his city and
county as attorney and made an excellent
record in both positions. Mr.. Foushee

Convention. In town politics he has
always been very active. In 1898 he was
nominated for the House of Represen-
tatives by reclamation and elected by
a majority OF GIG, leading the Democrat
ic ticket. His record in the legislative
body was characteristic of the man.
Whether it was upon the floor of the
House or in the committee room, he took
a leading part, and may justly be called
one Of the leaders of the last House of
Representatives.
He was Chairman Of the Committee
on Penal Institutions and n member Of
the following important committees:
Constitutional Amendment; Judiciary,
Corporations, Banks and Banking, Uni
versity Trustees and Roads and Turn
pixies. His services on the Judiciary
Committee was invaluable and he served
on a great many of the subcommittee
Of that committee.
His work as member of the commit
tee that impeached Judge Norwood at
the bar of the Senate was superb. His
speech in the House upon that occasion
when the resolution for impeachment was
impending, was one of the most telling
ever delivered within the walls of the
House of Representatives. he is an
able speaker, who at once enlists the
sympathy of his hearers and sways them
as he reaches climax after climax.
His command of the English language
is, splendid. Mr. Foushee lent his aid
and influence to all measures that had
as their foundation the welfare and
good of the people the State and the
Democratic party.
He introduced the bill which was in
strumental in ousting the Fusionists from
the penitentiary and placing none but
Democrats in charge. The bill to pro-
vide separate waiting rooms at the rail
road depots, for the races, also emanated
from him.
This was an excellent measure and
should have been adopted, but did not
come up before the House. He was
also author of the bill to determine resi-
dence of domestic corporations and to
provide way in which charters of cor
porations might be amended. When he
was youth he imbibed the pure prin-
ciples Of Democracy and these principles
have clung to him through life and will
abide with him until death. He is
member of the Baptist church. True to
himself, his party and his friends. it
can be said in all candor that the future
of Hon. Howard Alexander Foushee is
assured and will be even more brilliant
than the past. The writer des
sres to say that this sketch is a re4
sumo of what a true man can accomplish
by personal effort Talent and genius
go for naught if they are not reinforced
by a superior quality of perseverance,
all of which are to be found happily
blended in the subject of this sketch.
Accomplished. of a genial disposition
and pleasant address, it is not strange
that he should have SO many friends and

lent measure He also introduced the
bill that no history should be used in the
schools of North Carolina that styled
the war between the States as a Rebel
lion or the Confederate soldiers as rebels
or traitors. In addition to these he in
troduced other bills affecting Rockingham
county. In politics the Senator as a
youth imbhed the principles of pure
Democracy and in exercising his fran
chise he never departs from his inherent
policy. He is member of the Masonic
Fraternity and member of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, South.
