In 1879 Mr.. Gilmer matriculated at

Virginia and remained there two years.
While attending this institution he took
the Debater's Medal. Subsequently he
attended Dick and billiards. law school at
Greensboro, and graduated from that in
stitution in 1882. The same year he re-
ceived his license to practice and began
the active practice of his chosen profess
sion at Mount Airy, Surry county.
In 1884 he was joined in wedlock to
Miss Love Banner, an accomplished and
talented lady. Mrs. Gimer is a daughter
of the late Colonel Branner. q leading
and influential citizen of East Tennessee.
Robert Gilmer moved to Waynesville
in 1885. Time passed on and the young
lawyer prospered. In 1886 he was elect

ed the interest of his party for four

as a high grade of scholarship.
Before reaching manhood he entered
upon the work and duties of the farm,
and from that time to the present has
devoted himself entirely and assiduously
to the purposes and calings of agricul-
ture He is an active, hard working far
mer. just in all his dealings, faithful to
all obligations, strictly honest, strictly
truthful-and he enjoys the confidence,
the respect and obedience of all those
whom he employs.
When the togacco farmers in Aug. 1899
determined to effect an organization to
fight the tobacco trust. which was sys-
tematically robbing them, they selected
Mr.. Grimes as the president of their or
ganization They made no mistake in the
selection of their leader for Mr.. Grimes
has shown wisdom, discretion and judg-
ment Of high order.
He is a gentleman of culture and re-
finement, of pleasant and easy address, is
a good speaker, open, frank and de-
termined in spirit. He has always taken
an active part in politics and is hard
worker at election.
Mr.. Crimes was married some years

power. Mr.. Lacy was elected to his old
position, with some changes, as Com
missioner of Labor and Printing which
he now holds. One of the proofs of his
wise and conservative course is the
fact that in his contest for the State
Treasurership employers and employees
Wed with each other in his support. In
the Legislature of 1897, Mr.. Lacy dio
much to secure the passage of the Eel
low Servant Act which is now law
of the State. His earnest champion
ship of this measure and inSiStent Ell
forts to secure it's passage greatly en-
deared him o the engineers, mechanics
and all labor unions of the State. He
is a member of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers and has often rep
resented them in the national assem-
blages. He is regarded by the labor
force of the State as their leader, and
he was nominated in response to their
earnest efforts and their request that
this place be awarded to a skilled me-
chanic There were more mechanics as
delegates in this State convention than
at any time in the history of the party.
They were active in supporting Mr..
Lacy's candidacy.
Mr.. Lacy is an honest man, incor-
ruptible and upright. With Vance he
could truly say. These hands are
clean" ills experience as bank cashier
will stand him in good stead. and there
is no doubt that he will meet the eX-
pectations of his friends and make an
efficient officer
Mr.. Lacy was married in June, 1882,
to Miss Mary Burwell the oldest
daughter of Capt. John Burwell, and
has seven children. He is a member OF
the Presbyterian church, an active
