desirable while the war was in

LAWYER
CALLED BY DEATH

SPARTA, N. c., Aug. II. -(F)-
North Cardinals lawyer of the
mountains, Rufus A. Doughton died
unexpectedly at his home here to-
day. He was 80 years old.
Governor Rufe" had just eat
en- breakfast with his family and
was reading his morning paper
when the fatal attack struck him.
His health had not been good in
recent years but there was no
warning that the end was near.
Doughton, older brother of Con-
gresham Robert L. Doughton, the
chairman of the House Ways and
Means committee, had a record OF
public service reaching far back
into the last century.
He had served IS terms in the
North Carolina Legislature, was
lieutenant governor (from which
office he derived the Governor
Rufe" cognomen, State Revenue
Commissioner, a district Highway
Commissioner, and chairman of the
State Highway Commission.
He played a leading role in the
good roads movement in this state
which came to fruition under the
governorship of Cameron Morri-
son when North Carolina set the
pace for the south and most of the
country by embarking upon a $10,-
100000 paved highway program.
AS a member of the legislature,
Doughton introduced the bill to
create the system and led the sue
cessful fight for its adoption.
The tall, raw-boned Doughton
started his career as lawyer in
this mountain town. He went to the
legislature in the 1905 and by
1891 he was speaker of the House.
From 1893 to 1897 he presided over
the Senate as Lieutenant Governor.
After creation of the State High.
way Commission he represented
this district, and he was instru-
mental in having good roads
brought to this previously isolated
region of the state, sometimes re.
ferred to as '..the lost provincers.
Later came his service as Reve-
nue. Commissioner and Highway
Department head.
In addition to his public career,
Doughton was active and success
full in law and business affairs, and
was an outstanding civic leader in
his home community. He was,
among other things, president of a
chain of banks in the northwestern
part of the state.
Some few years ago his services
for the highway cause were recog-
nized when d group of citizens from
West Virginia, Virginia, and North
Carolina held a meeting especially
to pay tribute to him in person.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Susan Parks Doughton, a son, Kemp
Doughton, now Baltimore law
yer, and a daughter, Mrs. Sidney
Thomas of Sparta.
In addition to Farmer Bob," the
Congressman, his survivors also
include a brother, Frank of Laurel
Springs, and two sisters, Mrs. T. J.
Carson of Sparta, and Mrs. Miller
of Laurel Springs.
