he has taken part in the debates on
local questions frequently since he has
been in the Senate.

attending grade schools in South Caro-
lima, he came to Washington and was
graduated at Georgetown University
Law School In 1889. After practicing
law in South Carolina for some time
he became a member of the State
House of Representatives. Later he was
in the South Carolina Senate. and
served as governor of his State from
1911 to 1915. He was elected to the
United States Senate in 1924.
