Sudden Demise of Distin- guiShed Citizen. SON OF ALABAMA'S
 WAR GOVERNOR Prominent Lawyer and Safe
 Public Man. No Lived All the Years of His Life Tn Montgomery, and Was Often Honored by His Neighbors
 and Fellow Citizens.

Hon. Thomas Henry Watts, Great 1ncohonee of the Improved Order of hed Men, one of Alabama's most prom snent attorneys. and honored by his Fellow citizens of Montgomery, died suddenly yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in the midst of his family cir icle at his residence, 74o South Perry Street
 The news of the death of Mir. Watts came as a great shock to his thousands of friends in Montgomery. and to scores or men from Michigan to the Gulf, who Sknew him and loved his generous na- fture and his noble character
 The distinguished Montgonerian had been in ill-health for some time, but shis illness was not considered serious lf1e was confined to his home only about A week previous to his sudden demise yesterday afternoon.
 Death Was Sudden. MT. Watts was in good spirits yes- his death and was chatting with mem bers of his family. Suddenly it was mo- tfced that he was sinking. A nurse was sent for from the Montgomery In- armary, just across the street from the watts residence. Before the nurse could arrive, the highest officer of the Improved Order of Red Men had passed to his happy hunting ground. The death of Mir. Watts is of deep in- terest to more people perhaps than the

oemise of any citizen of Montgomery III many years. This fact can be as. cr!ped to many causes. xMr watts, since the Improved Ord,.r oI Hed Men assumed any considerabI importance, had been a constant at- os oshdant ,a on the annual Great Council represented the Alabama reservation at lne kindling of the great council fire Ihree years ago he was elected Great Junior sagamore of the order, and in senior sagaworc. and finally Great In- cohonee. the highest office in the order At these great councils he met men rom every State in the Union, and all of those who came within hts cheerv presence and listened to the utteranccs or his powerful mind, loved and hon. ored him.
 Son of Ex-Governor. In the second place, Mir Watts in- herited popularity. Few names in Ala nama, perhaps; are more revered than the name of Thomas H. Watts, Sr war Governor of Alabama and Attorney General of the Confederate States. Hun ureds or men off Alabama, who knew the rather were drawn to the son. and they recognized in the son many of the characteristics of the father that had made him beloved in Alabama and in | the South.
 The family connections of the de- ceased were large and many of his re- 1ations are among the most promin ent men and women of the State.
 MT. WallS, saltnOuSh constantly before the peeople and always ready and will ing to serve the people of Montgom- cry and of Alabama, never sought pub lie office in the ordinary sense, all though he would have been a power in politics. He was ready to aid his friends. however, and always stood for the honest and straightforward in poll tics.
 The deceased was always a resident of Montgomery and in his case the proverb "a prophet Is not without hon. or save in his own country" is a mis- homer.
 Native Of Montgomery.
 He was born in Montgomery on Au- gust 3, 1853. His father was Governor Thomas Hill Watts and his mother was Eliza Brown Watts. daughter of Wade Allen, one of the founders of Mont gomery.
 At ' years old he began his educa- ton under Professor George W. Thomas, who only preceded his pupil to the grave a few weeks, and re- mained under his tutorship until he reached the age of 16 years.
