He has taken a prominent part in the establishment or industries and bushes institutions and given his aid and consent in every move ment for the good and welfare of the town. His first experience in public life was his election to Congress in 1878 dur ing reconstruction days, being selected by the party for its nominee on account of his intimate relation with the masses and his popularity with the people who cast the votes.
