RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA WiiKx Qvv.F.^ Elizabeth, surrounded by her courtiers, was lialted bv a mud jmddle in Ikt )iath Sir Walter Raleigh realized tiie emergency. He didn't go into any leughty discussiou as to whetiicr the queen should take another jiath or wait until the puddle had dried. Instead he took off his coat, spread it over the mud, and thereby became a great favorite with her majesty and a much talked of personage for centuries after. That sjiirit of "take oft' your coat and do it now," first evinced by Sir Waller Rah'ifih, was handed down wilii the name to the Capital City of North Carolina. Xot only iiave her sons displayed the same chival- rous instinct tliat marked the beginning of the rise to fame of Sir Walter Raleigh, hut they h;ae also literally taken oft their coats and tackled ])robleins, large and small, with resourcefulness ty])ieal of the name. The city of Raleigh dates its history back to the year 1792 when a l)oard of commissioners, ap]iointed by tlie Legislature of North f^irolina. purc'liased a tluiusaiid acres, at what was then called Wake Court-house, for the location of a State capital. The plan of the city was adopted in tlie same year. In 1857 the corporate limits were extended a quarter of a mile in each direction. Later extensions have given the city an area nf four square miles. Raleigh is the ediU'ational center of Xoi-tli Carolina, and is surpassed by few cities in the counti'v in educational interests, there being twentv- eight institutions of learning located here. Among the most |)rominent are the North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College, St. Mary's College, Peace Institute, and Meredith College, the last three, schools for girls. In addition to the State Capitol the city is graced hy the State Building, recently erected ; the State Agricultural Department and State Museum, the Governor's Mansion, the Xorth Carolina Confederate Soldiers' Home, the North Carolina Experiment Station, and the State Fair Grounds. Here also are located the State Hospital, State Peniten- tiary, State School for the white blind and the State School for the negro deaf mutes and Mind. Ealeigh, which can he reached by four railroads, has five first-class iiotels, two ]:)ublic libra I'ies, a scoi-e of churches and foni'teeu niiles of street railway lines. Prominent anunig her public buildings are the City Auditorium, the Federal Building, and the Wake County Court- house Building, buili (ui the site where stood the court-house of a hundred years ago. Wide awake, liustling and progressive, Kaleigh's advance has been steady in coniniei'cial as well as dther lines of progress. There are located iiere thi'ee cotton mills, a fertilizer woi-ks, hosiery mills, an iron works, now engaged in making aniniunition for the Uniteii States (Jovernment, and nniny lesser industries. Surrounded by a rich farming district, the chief crops of which are cotton and tobacco, the citv is nevei-theless not wholly ile|iendent upon farming interests. Her eighl liaiiking institutions have an average of a millinu dollars cacli in de- posits. Thei'e are never any strangers in Kaleigh. When I he wayfarer enters her gales he is at once matle to feel that he is among friends whose aim it is to sho« that there is no other lown quite so good as a |)lace of business or I'esidence. And one is not hei'e long before he is ready to agree with them. Every citizen is a booster and all pull together in working for I he city's slonnu, "A Biggei', Husici-, liellcr lialeii;h."

Colonel Grimes is a practical farmer and owns farming interests in the comities of Pitt, Beaufort and Wake. A most interested supporter of the North Carolina Hall of History, Colonel Grimes has lent much to the success of that institution. Him- self a collector of the rare and beautiful, his library consists of many valuable and rare old books and is one of the best private libraries in the State. He has written several sketches of North Carolina history and of Confederate history, and his writings upon agricultural and public questions have been widely read. True to his ideals, ever thoughtful of his duty toward his fcllowniaii, regarding his public life as a sacred trust of the people, Colonel Bryan Grimes is as representative a North (\Trolininn as has l)een born Avitliin the boundaries of this State.

WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH Hunter — business man WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH CAREY J. HUNTER To BE A truly jiroijrfssive citizen and evince an interest in everything tendinji toward the civic, eoininercial and spiritual advancement of Raleigh has ever been the aim of Carey J. Hunter, whose record dur- ing the twenty-eight years in wliicli he has made this city his home is witness of how well he has lived up to ideal citizenship. As a leader in industrial, educational and religious work, lie has long been recognized as an im])ortant factor in the onward inarch of jirogress of the Old North State and its capital city. Carey Johnson Hunter was horn near Apex, June 1, 1857. His father was Joseph C., and his mother Pianctta (Beckwith) Hunter. He received his early education in the public schools and the A]ie.N Academy and afterwards entered Wake Forest College, from which he graduated in ISSl. Following his entry into business life he moved to (ireenville, North Carolina, where for several years he was engaged in mercantile lines. In 1888 Mr. Hunter accepted the State agency for North Carolina of the Union Central Life Insurance Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and a few years later added the State of Virginia to his territory. .Vfter per- fecting a great organization there, and looking after his conipany's busi- ness in Virginia as well as North Carolina for several years, he relin- quished all territory except North Carolina. He wrote the first policy issued by the company in this State and to him is due much of the credit for the remarkable showing made by tlie Fiiioii Central in North Carolina and Virginia. In addition to otlier interests, Mv. Hunter is a director of the Com- mercial National Bank, the Mechanics Savings Bank, the Caraleigh Cotton Mills, the Cajindine Chemical Company and the Melrose Knitting Mills. He is Tresident of the Parker-Hunter Realty Conii)any, the Biblical Recorder Publishing Company and the Mutual Publishing Com- pany. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and is listed in the niembershi]) of the Country Club. Mr. Hunter has been especially active in deiioniiiiational, educational and mission work. He is a member of the First Baptist Church and is Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Mission Board of the Baptist State Convi'iition. He is a trustee of his alitia inatcr. Wake Poorest College, and also of Meredith College of this city. He was appointed by the late Govei-nor Aycock a member of the State Board of Public Charities and has been re-appointed by each suc- cessive governor. As a member of tlie Kxecutive Committee of the North Carolina Agriculturi.1 Society, Mr. Hunter has been prominently identified in the direction of the Annual State Fair. Mr. Hnntei was married October 18th, 188:5, to Mrs. iMigenia Avera Toinlinson. ' They have two sons: Carey J., Jr., and Riifus A. lluntei', and one daiuihter. Miss Margaret F. Hunter. WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH Financier, business man and friend to all Raleigh WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH JOSEPHUS DANIELS On the ISth clay of May, 1862, in the town of Washington, N. C, there was given to the State, the South and the Nation a life that in after years was to do much to rebuild that which the year of his birth saw devastated. And the boy was named Josephus. At an early age young Daniels displayed a tendency toward exi)Ound- ing his own oj)inions. At the age of eighteen he was publishing in the town of Wilson his first paper, Tlic f'dniiiropiti, and since that time he has continued to expound and expand. On May 2, 1888, he was married to Miss Addie Bagley, daughter of Alajor W. H. Bagley. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel.s are the parents of four sons. The mile-posts, as they stand out in Mr. Daniels' past, are as follows: State printer for North Carolina 1887-1893; Chief Clerk Department of the Interior 1893-1895; trustee of the University of North Carolina; member of the Democratic National Conuuittee for twenty years; nominated, confirmed and commissioned Secretary of the Navy March 5, 1913; received the degree of LL.D. from Davidson College, the Uni- versity of North Carolina and Ohio Wesleyan University, and the degree of Lit. D. from Washington aud Lee University. Back of Secretary Daniels' remarkable success is the man himself. He has an especial genius for journalism, his life work, and is fearless in his espousal of great issues. His life is a moral force behind his paper, aiW he is always to be found on the moral side of any issue, pressing it to the front. His position is the same in his battles for Democracy, and he takes advanced positions in having his party serve the people. Secretary Daniels has never sought office. In fact, he holds that no editor can do his best who is a seeker after ofHce, and so, while he has given freely to advance other men's fortunes, he has sought none for himself. His devotion to his party is recognized not only by the State, but the entire nation as well. He has been a member of the Democratic National Committee longer than any member from any other State except one. In the cami)aign of 1908 he was chairman of the Literary Bureau and in the campaign of 1912 was chairman of the Press Com- mittee, which provided for the newspaper men at the Baltimore conven- tion and was Chairman of the Publicity Committee in the campaign which followed. After all, and in conclusion, the story of the life work of Josephus Daniels, is but the story of a determined life. The success achieved by a man of real character who has dared to do as he believed. Standing by principle constantly, Josephus Daniels has won the confidence, the esteem and the love of the people of North Carolina and the United States. WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH North Carolina's best known citizen WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH JUDGE R. W. WINSTON "Robert W. Wixstox, a graduate of the University of Xorth Caro- lina; ail eloquent .speaker; a brilliant lawyer; an intrepid judge; a cul- tured and patriotic citizen, with varied gifts and cosmopolitan interest; in season out of season, giving himself without stint and with mar- velous eflFect to constructive work for his State and his people. It is my privilege to present this loyal and distinguished son of our common- wealth for the degree of Doctor of Laws." These words, used by Wake Forest College in conferring the degree of LL.D. upon Judge R. W. Winston, sound the keynote of his life. His hope is to see his native State take a high place among her sister States. He has ever been a friend and advocate of the common people, is interested in the prompt dispatch of business in the courts of his State, the development of rural communities; in good roads; in better schoolhouses, and consolidated schools; in farm-life schools; in sanita- tion and in rural credits. Judge Winston is the trusted counselor of many banks, insurance com- panies and other corporations and has an extensive clientele in this and other States. His advice is sought in the settlement of large estates and in great financial transactions. He has clients in Granville and Orange counties who have employed him since he was a boy. His practice ex- tends from the trial courts to the Supreme Court, and from the U. S. District Court of the Court of Appeals at Richmond and to the U. S. Supreme Court. Bom in Windsor, in September, 1860; educated at the Horner School and at the University, locating in Oxford where he was State Senator in 1885, Judge of the Superior Courts at 29 ; resigning from the bench in 1895 and removing to Durham; removing to Raleigh 1909 and joining Grovernor Charles B. Aycock, in the practice, and now associated with Judge J. Crawford Biggs, and all the while much interested in political, financial and legal affairs and deeply concerning himself, since becoming a citizen of Raleigh, in her progress and development, his has been a busy life indeed. Judge Winston has two sons and two daughters. His oldest, James H. Winston, is a member of the firm of Winston, Payne, Strawn k Shaw of Chicago ; Miss Gertrude married Frank B. Webb of Durham, and R. W., Jr., a promising young attorney, and Miss Amy reside with their father. Some four years ago, when Mrs. Winston died, the family circle lost its chief ornament, the model home-maker, mother and Christian. Judge Winston is a Xorth Carolinian to the core. He loves her people from mountains to sea — their saving common sense, their indi- viduality and their uniform conservatism, and daily exclaims, with General Lee, "Thank God for Xorth Carolina.'" HO'S WHO IN RALEIGH Able jurist WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH GRAHAM H. ANDREWS Theke is no record tlwit April 21, 1S.S3, was observed as a holiday by the officials of the Citizens Xatioiial Bank, but could they have looked thirty years into the future, there is no doubt that tlie date would have been fittingly recognized and emissaries dispatched with congratula- tions to the home of Col. and Mrs. A. B. ^Viidrews. Since they were not prophets, the day passed unnoticed, and it was not known until a quarter of a century later that Graham Harris ^Vndrews, who was ushered into the world on that date, was to become a guiding hand in the destinies of one of the city's time honored financial institutions. His father before him having been a great financier, as well as one of the most prominent railroad officials of the South, it was but natural that one of his sons should have a leaning toward financial affairs. So when the time came to choose his life w-ork, this boy's thoughts turned toward the banking business, in which he was advanced from one position to an- other until the age of thirty found him not only occupying a position as Cashier of one of Raleigh's .strongest banking institutions, but al.so a mov- ing spirit in the financial life of the Old Xorth State. He takes a great interest in the North Carolina Bankers Association, and when the group system was adopted, he was elected as the first Chairman of Group Number Four. At the present time he is a member of the Executive (^ommittee of the Association. Mr. Andrews received his early education at the Raleigh Male Academy, later entering the University of North Carolina, from which he graduated with a degree of A. B. in Jime, 1903. Just after his gradu- ation lie became connected with the Citizens National Bank and he devoted his mind to mastering the intricacies of the banking sj'Stem witli the same diligence that marked his college life. Mr. Andrews was married November 6, 1907, to Miss Eliza Humphrey Simmons, daughter of United States Senator F. M. Simmons. They have two daughters, Julia Johnston and Mary Simmons, and one son, Graham Harris Andrews, Jr. He and his family are members of the Church of the Good Shepherd of which his parents were among the founders, and he is now Senior Warden of that parish, having been a Vestryman for a number of years and active in the erection of their beautiful new church. He is also a Trustee of St. Mary's School. He is a member of the Capital Club, the Raleigh Country Club, the Neuseoco Fishing Club, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, and the Knights of Pythias. In his college days he was initiated into the mysteries of the Sigma Alplia Epsilon fraternity, to which he is still loyal. In addition to his connection with the Citizens National Bank as Cashier, Mr. Andrews is Vice-President and a Director of the Raleigh Savings Bank & Trust Company. He is also Secretary and Treasurer and a Director of the Raleigh Cotton Oil Co., and a Director in the Raleigh Real Estate k Trust Company, the Atlantic Fire Insurance Co., and of the Raleigh Building and Ixian Association.

Jones Dry Goods Company. He had no experience in coninu rcial life, and his first few years here were lean ones. However, he had three attributes of which successful men are made: he was God-fearing, conscientious and diligent in his busi- ness. His name is C. R. Boone, and lie is now among this city's leading merchants and well known as one of the most religiously charitable men of his means in the country. Since establishing the men's clothing and fnrnisliing business which bears his name, Mr. Boone has conscientiously laid aside one-tenth of his profits to be donated to Christian work. From this he maintains a missionary in China, and is coutemplating sending another versed in medicine to the same district. Tn addition to his doiiiitions to religious work in foreigii fields, Mr. Boone is also charitable in other respects, giving generously to many worthy objects. He is l)roud of the fact thai by his commercial prosperity he is in a position to render financial aid to the cause of Christianity, and is as careful in kee])ing an account of the ten per cent donated to religious work as he is in seeing that the books of tJie business are balanced. Charles Kobert Boone was bom in Clayton, North Carolina, January 26, 1879; the son of Kobert and Easter Ann ( HoUcman) Boone. He attended the C^layton public schools and worked on his father's farm until he came to Baleigh at the age of twenty-one. After two years spent with the W. E. Jones Dry Goods ('ouipany, he entered the men's clothing and furnishing business, where he remained until he went into business foi' liimself five years ago. His commercial title is "C. R. Boone, DeLuxe Clothier," and he is the originator of the business slogan used by liim, "Come and See." Mr. Boone is a member of the Baptist Tabernacle, in which he is a deacon and a leading sjiirit. He is identified with the Sunday School of that church as Supei-intendent of Personal Work and Missions. He is a member of the Y. M. C.

This reputation he has ablj' ujjheld for forty years. Mr. Crowder was married twenty-seven years ago to Miss Maggie E. Moore. They have one daughter. Miss Margaret Crowder, and two sons, Ralph H. and Raymond Crowder. The last named is a resident of Pittsburg where he is connected with the Westinghouse Electric Com- pany. Mr. Crowder is a member of the Country Club and the Milburnie Fishing Club. He was until a few years ago a consistent hunter and had quite a reputation as a Nimrod. Having been reared on a farm he is naturally a lover of outdoor life. He owns the farm on which he was born, and enjoys frequent visits to the scene of his youth. As President of the Wake County Savings Bank since that institution's organization in 1!M).") and Director of the Raleigh Banking and Trust Company for the past Iwenty-five years, ilr. Ci-owder has been promi nent in the financial life of this city. He has twice served the munici- pality as a member of the Board of Aldermen, in which capacity he advocated many of the improvements made during tlie past few years. He has been a member of the Township School Committee for six years and has been an important factor in IJaleigli's development along edlU'a- tional lines. Mr. Crowder is a membci- of the Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants Association and has been a memi)er of a number of com- mittees which have labored for the commercial, industrial and educa- tional uplift of the Capital City. WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH Merchant — farmer WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH B. S. JERMAN TliK YEAR 1801, which saw the beginning of tlic end of the Old South, also marked the birtli of many men who in after years were to build better than their fathers knew. It was as though fate, relentless in its destruction, made amends by giving to the scene of devastation lives that were destined to become important factors in the rehabilitation of the land of their birth. Of these there was born at Ridgeway, Warren county, X. ('., on Xovember 4th of tiiat eventful year, Beverly Sydnor Jerman, son of Doctor Thomas Palmer Jerman and Lucy Beverly Sydnor. Yoiuig Jerman attended tlie Kidgeway public schools and Williams Academy. He came to Kaleigh in 1881 and became an employee of the Citizens Xational Bank, with which he was connected for ten years. In ISOl Mr. Jerman, with J. J. Thomas and H. W. Jackson, organized the Commercial and Farmers Bank of Raleigh and became Cashier. In inOS, following Capt. Thomas's death, Mr. Jerman was elected Presi- dent of the institution which was that year converted into the Commer- cial National Bank of Raleigh. It has gi-own steadily since the day of its organization, the capital stock having been increased from $50,000 to $300,000 with a surplus of $140,000. In the past six years the deposits have doubled. To the guiding liand of its President is due much of this success. It has been during his regime as President that the Commercial Bank building, one of the largest and most modern office buildings in the State, was erected. In addition to his banking interests Mr. Jerman is connected with the W. 11. King Drug Company, the J. M. Pace Mule Company, the North Carolina Home Insurance Company, the Raleigh Fire Insurance Company, and the Parker-Hunter Realty Company. Mr. Jerman has been married three times. His first wife was Miss Julia Borden of Goldsboro, whom he married in 1888 and by which marriage he has one son, William Borden, of Richmond, Va.

In 1912 he married Miss Edith MacDonald of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and they have one son, Donald Sydnor. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and is listed among the members of the National Geographical Society, the Navy League of the L^nited States, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Countrj- Club and the Capital Club. He has been treasurer and a trustee of the Olivia Raney Library for many years. He is a very enthusiastic member of the Neuseoco and several other Fishing Clubs, the piscatorial art being his chief diversion.

It is ])ossil)l(' to trace his ancestors back tlirough four genera- tions, his great-grandfather having come to America in 174!), from Ire- land, although he was a native of Scotland. Governor Craig after attending the public schools of Bertie countj- became a student of the Horner Academy at ITeuder,son, later entering I he Univcr.aved streets. Mr. Parks was elected President of the Raleigh Chamber of Com- merce in Se])tember, 1915, and so successful was his tenure of office that he was imanimously re-elected at the time of the reorganization the following March. Under his leadership the Chamber of Commerce has had one of the most successful jjcriods in its existence. WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH Shrewd business man — molder of public opinion WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH A. TELFAIR HORTON "Ptt ai.l voir eggs ill one basket and watch the basket," is said to be the advice given young men by Andrew ("aruegie. Some one must have repeated this excellent doctrine to Telfair llortoii, t'oi' al an early age he decided he would put all his eggs in one basket and locate that recep- tacle at No. 10 East Martin street. In order to guard the treasure it was necessary to be about the premises, so he secured employment with the firm then known as Whiting Bros. This occurred when he was 12 years of age, and to ])rove that Carnegie was right Mr. Horton has only to point to his name at the top of the Whiting-IIorion Conipany's stationery, behind which is the word President. Alexander Telfair Horton was born at Smithfield, Johnston county, the son of Col. S. P. and Mrs. Rebecca Horton, April 2, 1S76. He came with his parents to Kaleigh when he was three years old and a few years later agreed that they had made a wise move in coming hei-e. He has never entertained the slightest idea of living elsewhere, for he had that basket to watch. Between his watchful waiting and boosting for Raleigh at every opportunity he has been a busy man, but not too busy, as is shown by the fact that he is a member of the Edenton Street Methodist Church, a Past Master of the Raleigh Lodge of Masons, a member of the Seaton Gales Lodge of Odd Fellows and a national repre- sentative of the Junior 0. U. A. M. Mr. Horton and Miss Lizzie Manin Murphrey were married July 18, 1899. They have two sons, Alexander Telfair, Ji'., and Harold Whit- ing, and one daughter, Miss Elizabeth Horton. He is interested in all athletic s]iorts, especially bowling, at wiiicli he is adept. Mr. Horton, after serving the firm of Whiting Bros, conscientiously and well for 20 years, during which he rose from messenger boy to head salesman, bought the interest of the late S. W.

As general agent, he has brouglit the development of local agencies up to a high standard. He is an cniliusiastic and indefatigable worker, and this, together with a like sjiirit uhicli he has engendered in his co-workers, has resulted in the wonderfid increase in business done in this State by the Maryland Life since he took the general agency. Mr. Cowper has contributed a number of well-written articles to l)i)th educational and insiirance magazines, lie is the author of a treatise on "Different Methods of Teaching," and has been especially active in literary efforts touching on life insurance.

While at work in his father's fields a few years later it is said he displayed his connnereial spirit to the degree of tarrying at the end of a cotton row while he endeavored to beguile some other rustic into exchanging ])ossessions. The fact that neither owned any trading material did not deter him from his purpose, for lacking other valuables he would propose an exchange of shoe laces. And it came to pass after many years that he rose up and went into a far county where he realized youth's dream, for he is now- Manager of the Hudson-Belk Department Store of this city. Karl Green Hudson was born iu Monroe county, near Union City, March 11, 1889. His parents decided that he should at least have instruction in reading, writing and arithmetic in order that he might not be too badly handicapped in his business dealiugs with a cruel world, and to that end sent him to all the country schools thereabouts. In the classroom he divided his time between poring over chapters devoted to the world's commerce and trading jack-knives with his school-mates. When his school daj's were over he went to work in a blacksmith shop, but finding no opportunity to exercise his commer- cial proclivities there he gave up the job and became a cotton buyer. Hut cotton buying did not quite satisfy young Hudson, who wanted continuous trading the year round, so he betook himself to Waxhaw. N. C, where at the age of nineteen he entered the employ of the R. .1. Belk Department Stores Co. Here he reveled in the knowledge gained through experience and association with the business world and in a few years was made store manager. He later managed the Gastonia store of the same company, which has a chain of twelve department stores in this State. Mr. Hudson came to Raleigh in 1915, o]iening a branch store of the Belk Company.

WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH National character — scientist — scholar WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH H. S. STORR Amo.nu tiik kewek cilizciis of Kaleigh llicre are none better or more popularly known than one wiio, two years ago, came from Charlotte "unberaldcd and unsung," and organized a company for the distribu- tion of otHce equipment. Since that day he has not only entered enthu- siastically into the civic, commercial, fraternal and religious life of his chosen home, but by liis wholesoineness, pleasing personality and dili- gence in business has built a large and increasing volume of trade and made friends of all with whom he has come in contact. Harry Slierwood Storr, was born at Vienna, Dorchester county, Maryland, June 22, 1875, the sou of John IT. and Lydia (Ilodsou) Storr. After attending the public schools, he secured further educa- tion at the Eaton and Burnett Business College of Baltimore, and later entered the mercantile business with his father, receiving parental instruction in buying and selling. He decided to become a traveling man and followed that vocation for twelve years, being a representa- tive of the Thomas A. Edison Company, manufacturers of Edison Dic- tating Maciunes, with headquarters at Charlotte, before coming to this city. Although he had spent but little time here Mr. Storr, when looking for a live city to open a live business, was not long in deciding u])on Kaleigh, and he has had no occasion to regret that choice. Mr. Storr is President and General Manager of the H. S. Storr Com- pany, dealers in office fixtures, machines, supplies, and jobbers of stationery, paper, etc. His company has grown steadily during the past two years and it is now one of the largest concerns of its kind in the South. Among large orders executed by the H. S. Storr Company was the installation of all the furniture for the offices and court-room in the new Wake county court-house. Mr. Storr was married in 1899 to Miss Lydia Raleigh, of Dorchester county, Maryland, who has the distinction of being a direct descendant of a brother of Sir Walter Raleigh. They have two daughters, Lydia Virginia and Mary Emily. A very peculiar chain of coincidences has resulted in the name Lydia being kept in the Storr family for hundreds of years, Mr. Storr's eldest daughter being the eleventh in successive generations to bear that name. An ardent lover of fishing, Mr. Storr always w-elcomes an oppor- tunity to hie himself to some quiet stream in quest of the finny tribe. He is a chicken fancier and is much interested in the breeding and care of that fowl. Mr. Storr is a Methodist by faith and a nicmlier of the Edenton Street Methodist Church. A Mason of prominence, he is a menihcr of the Lodge, Chapter, Coinmandery and Council in Raleigh, and of the Oasis Temple at Charlotte. He is a member of the Order of Odd Fellows, the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club, of which organization he is a Director. WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH Spontaneous, sincere, genuine WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH R. H. WARNER While a youth Kobert Haiuer Warner was alwaj's fascinated by the art of stone cutting. For hours he would stand spellbound while he watched the chips of granite fly while a busy workman applied chisel and mallet, and it was then that he decided upon his life-work. R. H. Warner was born at Laurinburg, Xorth Carolina, September I3th, 1S83. After attending the public schools of his home town he enrolled in the Cary High School, and later the A. & M. College. After leaving the latter institution he entered the marble and granite business in Raleigh, sending twelve years in that trade. In February, 1914, Mr. Warner, with W. K. and Paul Campbell, formed the Campbell-Warner Company, dealers in marble and granite. While they make a specialty of monuments, having erected more monuments and tombstones than all other firms in Raleigh combined during the past two and a half years, they also do an extensive business in building granite. They furnished the granite and built the base for the State Building and for the Murphey School Building now in course of construction. At their yards on West street the Campbell- Warner Company has the latest machinery for the cutting and carvijig of stone and granite, pneumatic tools having super- seded the chisel and mallet of Mr. Warner's boyhood days. Their busi- ness is not confined to Raleigh and vicinity, but embraces the entire State. Mr. Warner was married September 18th, 1906, to Miss Rosa Phil- lips, of this city. They have two daughters : Misses Emily Rose and Eula Elizabeth. He is a member of the Baptist Tabernacle Church, and of the Woodmen of the World. He is a football enthusiast, but aside from that sport finds his sole recreation in selling monumental and granite works. W. R. and Paul Campbell, the other members of the firm, inherited their calling, being descendants of two generations of stone cutters. Their grandfather, Donald Campbell came to this country from Scotland about 1830 and was employed in the construction of the State Capitol at Raleigh. He later engaged in the marble and granite business here for many years. During the civil war he was employed by the Confed- erate Government in the construction of locks in Deep River at Lock- ville, and after the close of the war was superintendent of the building of the stone wall around the State Penitentiary, a work which required several years for its completion. His son, Hugh Campbell, followed the trade of his father and was well known in this vicinity as an expert stone and granite worker. His sons, W. R. and Paul Campbell, took to their father's and grandfather's business when they were large enough to lift a mallet. They have been engaged in monumental and stone con- struction work in some of the largest cities of the country, and are thoroughly experienced in their line.

He was educated at the Webb School, at Bell Buckle, Tennessee, after which he entered the news])aper business at Asbeville. Three years later he took up insurance and within a short time became an estab- lished success in the life and fire insurance fitdds. In 1898 he con- ceived the idea of a State Fire Insurance A.ssociation and through his efforts that organization was formed, he being elected the first Presi- dent. In 1899 he was elected Vice-President of the North Carolina Home Insurance Company and in that year removed from Asheville to Raleigh. In 1912 he was elected to the Presidency of the com|)any, a position which he has since filled with great honor to that organization and himself. Under his guidance this North Carolina Fire Insurance Company has realized a .yearly increase in business until it is now ranked as one of the strongest .in the State. Mr. Webb served as President of the Chamber of Commerce during the year 1915. He is at present a member of the North Carolina State Board of Internal Ini])rovemeiits.

Siieli a man is Howard White. Born in Matthews county, Virginia, A])ril (Jth, IssO, he received his early education in the [)ublic sclipols there and in the Portsmouth, Va., High School. In October, 1906, he was married to Miss Annie Wilson White, of Portsmouth. They have three children : Annie Wilson, Sarah Jordan and Howard White, Jr. Before coming to Raleigh Mr. White was with the Seaboard Aii- Line Railway as accountant and later with the Xorfolk and Sotithern as tie and timber agent. In this capacity he had charge of the pur- chasing of a greater part of the ties, bridge timber and lumber lused in the construction of the road. In 1909 he decided to go into the lumber business on his own account and chose thi.s city as his future home, a choice wiiich was fortunate, not only for him, but for Raleigh as well. During the seven years that he has had offices here, Mr. White's busi- ness has steadily grown until now it ranks among the very largest of the South in that line. His lumber comes from all over North and South Carolina and Georgia and there are more than a score of mills kept busy converting it into the finished ])rodnct. 'I'liis is marketed in northern and eastern States. A member of the (Vnintry ('lub. Mi-. White is frequently seen upim the golf links there. He is an enthusiastic motorist and takes great l)leasure in making extended automobile trips through territory to which he is a stranger. As a baseball fan he has no peer in the State. He is intensely interested in that sport and never misses an opportunity to root for the Raleigh team. 'I'o him as much as any other one nuin is dtie tiie strong and growing baseball sentiment of this city. Ik- is a Dii'ector in the Raleigh Basel)a]l Association and also of the Raleigh Fire Insurance Company. By faith Mr. White is an Episcojjalian and is a member of the Church of the Good Shei)herd. He is affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce, the Capital Club, the Y. M. C. \., the Uoval Arcanum and liie R. P. 0. Elks.

O'C^iiiiui in finding his calling in life, but once he found it he was not long in apprising the world so well that his name is now known throughout the country as that of one of the South's leading Horists. Jesse Lee OC^uinn was born in Harnett counly, February 16, 1858, the son of B. B. and Sarah (McPhail) O'C^uinn. When he began to sit up and take notice he saw flowers blooming around his country home and even at that early age gave evidence of enjoying their beauty. As he grew in years iiis fondness for flowers increased, but that char- acteristic was attributed to a love of the beautiful and not as an indi- cation of what later developed to be liis calling in life. The mysteries of the floricultural world being unknown to him he entered Oak Ridge Institute, where he took a conuuercial course before coming to Kaleigh, where he secured employment in a floral establishment. Since he had no knowledge of botany from books Mr. O't^uinn decided to take lessons from nature. He also kept an eye on the commercial possibilities of floriculture and six years later decided to go into business for himself. This was in 1897. From an inauspicious beginning, at which he had only two green- houses, Mr. O'Quinn has built up an establishment in which there are thirty-five thousand feet of glass, covering flowers of almost every variety grown in the United States. From the humble daisy to the beautiful orchid, that rarest of flowers, every member of the floral kingdom is either grown or handled at his nurseries. There are twelve acres of growing plants, roses, carnations, potted plants, bedding stock, ornamen- tal shrubs, shade trees and liedge i)lants. A specialty is made of carna- tions, a favorite flower with Mr. O'CJuinu and one which he has featured for many years. Associated with Mr. O'Quinn in the ownership and management of J. L. O'Quinn Company, is E. L. (.'oble his son-in-law. Mr. Coble is a graduate of the agricultural department of the A. and M. College and is an enthusiastic floriculturist. Li addition to their greenhouses the company has a down town store. As members of the Florists Telegraph Association, they are able to sujiply flowers in any town or city in the United States or Canada. Mr. O'Quinn was married in IMMi to Mrs. Emma Myatt. Their (laughter Miss Willie M. O't^iiiiin was married in li>14, to Mr. E. L. Coble of Guilford county. Mr. O'Quinn was an organizer and is a Director in the Merchants National Bank. He is a member of tiie Boyal Arcanum, the Jr. O. U. .\. M., the Jiotary Club, the Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants Association. He has always been intensely interested in civic affairs and, by his co-operation and eflForts, aided every progressive movement in the past twenty years of Kaleigh's history.

His nanii' is Dcni- soii Foy Giles, a son of M. 1). and Julia (iibbs Giles, and he is tiie Wake County Superintendent of Public Instruetion. After an early education in tiie schools of McDowell county, he attended Trinity Col- lege at Duiliaui and the State Fniversity at Clia])el Hill, North Caro- lina. So ijreat was his love of education that bis career as a teacher was planned liefoi-e leaving the rniversity, from wbicb he returned Jo his home county. He first taught in the McDowell County Public Schools one year, before being Principal of the Xebo High School, where he ])resided four years. His next ijosition was that of Superintendent of Public Instruction of McDowell county, at which he spent eight years, tlic last three of which he also served as Superintendent of the Marion City Scliools. A distinctive feature of Mr. (Jiles's educational work in McDowell county was his organization of a school .system con- sidered inie of I lie best of any county in the State. As a member of the Slate Senate of 1915 from McDowell county Prof. Giles served on a ninnber of ini])ortant committees, among them tiie Senate Committee on Education, of which he was Chairman. The record of the Wake County Schools under Superintendent Giles's supervision has been a brilliant reflection of his character as an educator. Material ])rogress has been made in all branches of the county school sys- tem, a testimonial to his earnest am] intelligent efforts. In the past school year there were two new tax districts added and two new dormitories se- cured for the Farm Life Schools of Cary and Wakelon. Through his efforts a teacher of Home Economics has been ajipointed for domestic science work in rural communities. This teacher visits country homes, in- structing girls in various domestic work and forming Flomemaking and Canning Clubs. Superintendent Giles has formidated an extensive i)lan for school supervision in Wake county and has divided the county into three dis- tricts, in ea(di of \\liich there is a supervisor, whose duties consist of visiting the different schools and supervising the teaching methods used. Tiie county schools, in thirty-four of wlii(di high school courses are taiiglit, had a remarkably good year in point of attendance in 1915 with bright prosi)ects for a continued increase in enrollment. The annual County Commencement held in Italeigb in .Vpril, I!) Hi, was tiie greatest in attendance and enthusiasm in the county's history. Professor Giles is a very active member of the National Educational Association, the Sotithern Conference for Education and Industry and the North (\irolina Teachers Assembly.

'riicrc is im belter illiis- ti'Mtion of this old proverb than Thomas Walter Bickett, the present^ Attorney-General and Demoeratic eandidate for Governor of the State of North Carolina. He first saw the light of day in Monroe, X. f'., February the 28th, 1869. When thirteen years of age his father died, leaving him the oldest of four children. He grew up with this early responsibility in a home full of fine forees which make for manhood. After gradtiatiug from the Jlonroe High School he entered Wake Forest College in 1886, and in spite of the fact that he was compelled to work his way through that institution, he gained a place as leader in college life. He was Chief Debater in the graduating class of 1890 and did the honor accorded him with gracious dignity. From 1890 to 189.'? he taught in the graded schools of Winston-Salem. During these two years he devoted his leisure time to the study of law in the office of his uncle, D. A. Covington. Later he took a finishing course in the Univer- sity Law School, and was admitted to the bar in 1893. He located at Danbury, Stokes comity, where he practiced for a year and a half. In 1895 he moved to Louisburg, and has lived there continuously since. Although actively interested in ])olitics, he never allowed his name to be used until he consented to become a candidate for the Legislature from Franklin county in 1907. He was elected by a majority of seven- teen hundred and fifty and served with distinction. He was particularly responsible for the big advance made in the care of the State's unfortu- nates. Ill 1908 Mr. Bickett was urged by friends to become a candidate for Attorney-General, but he declined that honor until in the Charlotte Convention the pressure became overwhelming, and he finally consented to his nomination. He was elected and entered office in 1909. At all tin)es he has sacrificed his personal self for duty and his office has been maintained with traditional dignity. He has argnied before the Supreme Court, in behalf of the State, more than three hundred cases, and in the opinions of the court are found frequent quotations and appreciative allusions to his argtunent. He has been adviser to every department of the State Government. While his o])iiiions are highly regarded because of their legal authority they have been, ]ierhaps, of greater value because of the clear and common sense way in which he approaches all ques- tions. As Attorney-General he has been called upon to appear in most important ca.ses. His description of the dissolution of the American Tobacco Company was so apt that it was used throughout the country. Xorth Carolina is fortunate in having as prospective Governor for the ensuing tci-m so representative and forceful a character.

In his spare tijne lie has developed into a fairly expert fisherman and hunter, become as.sociated with more than a dozen fraternal organi- zations and made all with whom he has conic in contact call him friend. Charles Franklin Koonce was born at Eichland, Onslow county, September 4th, 1875. His parents moved to Raleigh when he was a mere child and his first memories are of this city. While still a boy he decided to become a printer, a trade at wliich he worked in Raleigh for a number of years before going to Kinston, where he founded and was one of the editors of the Morninij Xfiirii. He retired from the news end of the newsjiaiK-r field to become connected with the mechanical department of the Mutual Publishing Company. He was later asso- ciated with the Progressive Farmer as Advertising Solicitor, in which capacity he traveled over the greater part of the United States.

In N'ovenilier, 1915, he was elected Chief of Police, of the city of Raleigh, by the Board of Commissioners and is now serving a two year term in that office. From pieing type to stalking the wary criminal is a far cry, but Chief Koonce entered upon his duties as the head of the Raleigh Police Department with the same energy, earnestness of purpose and supreme confidence in himself that marked his entry into his first newspaper office. The result is shown in one of the most efficient police adminis- trations that Raleigh has had for many years. To him is due great credit for the present very comprehensive traffic ordinance and its en- forcement. The Raleigh Police Department now has tiie most thorouglily dis- ciplined force in the history of the organization. It is composed of thirty-two officers, with two captains. The work of patrolling the city is divided into three reliefs of eight hours each.

And this city and State have cause to feel proud over the acquisition of a citizen who has created so ])rofound an inipi-ession u])i)n the business life of his adopted home. Although a South Carolinian hy birth, Mr. McClenaghan is a descen- dant of North Carolina's early .settlers, which probably accounts for his leaving the State of his nativity to nuike his home here. This was in 1904, the year of his graduation from the Porter Military Academy at Charleston, S. C. He had taken a course in architecture and mechani- cal draughting, but after visiting Raleigh was so impressed with this city's advantages that he reconsidered his determination to become an architect and instead came here and went into tiie insurance business with John C. Drewry. His first efforts were devoted to life insurance, which he handled exclusively for five years. He next took up casualty and fire insurance, in which he found that his knowledge of architec- ture stood him in good stead. So diligently did he apply himself that from a novice in the insurance field he worked his way to the Chief ( 'lerksliip of Mr. Drewry's office. Mr. McClenaghan is now General Manager of the Tar Heel Company, which sells every form of insurance issued, including life, fire, burglary, casualty, liability, health, bonding, automobile and scores of others. C. Trenholm McClenaghan was bom in Florence, S. C, November 5, 1886 ; the son of J. II. and Portia Bacot McClenaghan. He is a nephew of the late Col. William J. Saunders, of Raleigh, with whom he was visiting at tlie time he decided to make this city liis home. He was married here April 14, 1914, to Miss Amelia Whitaker. They have one daughter, Miss -Marian Trenholm McClenaghan. He is an Episcopalian by faith and a member of Christ Church. Hunting and fishing are Mr. McClenaghan's favorite diversions. He is especially fond of goose and duck hunting along tlio shores of Eastern Carolina, a sport which he maintains ecpials that to be found in any l)art of the world. Mr. McClenaghan is a Thirty-Second Degree Mason, an Order which has conferred a number of honors upon him. He is a Past Master of the William G. Hill Lodge, No. 218, and is District Deputy Grand Master of the Fifteenth Masonic District which embraces Wake county. He is an enthusiastic worker in the Chamber of Commerce and gets his recreation at the Country Club, of which he is a member. He is active in the Y. M. C.

Coble, eiidowiMg him with both artistic and imisieal talent, and lie in appreciation has de- veloped them both until now he is not only an artistic photographer but a thorough musician. While he does not have the time to devote to music that he would like, Mr. Coble is recognized as one of extraor- dinary ability as a ])erfornier on both string and wind instruments. Although a stranger to Raleigh until a few months ago, he has by his pleasing personality, his artistic sense, and his unusual inclinations, become well and pojnihirly known in tlic brief time he has made this city his home. Albert Henry Coble was born at Vanceboro, X. C, September 28, 1880, the son of Wesley Milton and Georgia (Culpepper) Coble. He attended the public schools of Vanceboro and the Trenton, X. C., lligli Scjiool before taking uji the study of pliotography under his father at Kinston. Tlie ])liotographic instinct was natural with him, his father liaving been in that business for thirty years. He does not know from whom he inlierited his musical talent, but at an age when most boys are ))laying marbles young Coble was endeavoring to become a musician. That he has succeeded is evident from the fact that lie is not only an accomplished performer on the violin and cornet, but is also acquainted with a great many other musical instruments. He was Chief Musician of the Second Regiment, North Carolina Band, stationed at Kinston be- fore coming to Raleigh. This position he held at the encaiii]Mneiit of the Xorth Carolina troops in 1914 at Augusta, Ga., at which time the Augusta ])apers jiaid the band the compliment of being the best regi- mental l«iiid ever iieard in that city. Mr. Coble was married in October, 1904, to Miss Zula Rogers, of Swansboro, X. C. They have two sons, Albert J. and Vernon Ferrall and two daughters, Mis.ses Catherine and Georgia. Mr. Coble's avocations are music and baseball, but while he is very fond of cheering for the home team nothing (piite approaches liis love toi- music. He is a member of tlie Woodmen of the World ami in his religious affiliations is a Methodist. Mr. Coble came to Raleigh as successor to the late M. W. Tyree, who was conceded to be one of the most artistic photographers of the South. To u])liold that reputation was the task confronting Mr. Coble on his arrival, but with no misgivings as to the outcome he took charge of the business, retaining the name "Tyree Studio." Since that time lie has not only proven his ability, but has made a host of admirers who see in his work most beautiful e.NanipIes of modern ]ihotography. With liim it is not only a business but an art, with every subject pre.seiiting an oii])ortunity for an artistic triumph. He is an idealist, a lover of tlie beautiful and a true artist.

Although a very busy man, having besides business interests, exereised his artistic and niusieal talents, to say nothing of being a most enthusiaslie motorist, he has at all times lived up to that motto. James J. Thomas was born in Raleigh, December ;i()tli, 1SS5, tlie son of the late Captain J. J. Thomas, and Mrs. Lula O. (Felt) Thomas. He attended the public schools and the Raleigh Male Academy before entering Wake Forest College and the University of Xorth Carolina. He was also a student of the National School of Art, New York City, where he studied cartooning. A numbei' of his cartoons have been published in local papers and have been highly comijlimented. Mr. Thomas has, since a boy, been an accomplished ])erformer on the violin as well as a singer of merit. He has been heard as baritone soloist of the choir of the First Baptist Church, and as a member of tlie Raleigh C'horal Society. .Vmoiig tiie musical organizations of wliich he has been a member are the Meredith College Orchestra, the Saint Mary's College Orchestra, the Third Regiment Band, the Wake Forest College Glee Club and the University of North Carolina Glee Club, in the latter two oi'ganizations be was leader of the orchestra. While in New York ho was a member of the (^olumbia University Philhainmnic Society, in which organization he played first violin. Mr. Thomas started his business career in 1909 with the Commercial National Bank, and was Manager of the Transit Department when he resigned in 1916. He incorporated with Mr. John C. McDonald the firm of McDonald and Tliomas. Both he and Mr. McDonald are of the hustling, aggressive type of young men. They have recently opened a very Jiandsome store in Mr. Thomas' building on Wilmington street. where they have a most complete stock of paints, varnishes, enamels, brushes and ])ainters' supplies. Their other lines include hardwood floors, fly screens, weather stri])s. metal columns and builders' hardware. Mr. Thomas is also interested in tlie Caraleigh Cotton Mills, Commer- cial National Hank, Raleigh Cotton Mills and the Raleigh Ba.seball Club.

O'DoNXELi. may well have !h'<'1i the subject of the poet's song when he sang "My father and mother were Irish and I am Irish, too," for, notwithstanding I he fact that he was born on American soil, the names and birthplaces of both his parents bear witness to his being a son of Erwin. His father, ilichael O'Donnell, hailed from County Clare, while his mother, Margaret McGinness, was born in County Gal- way, made famous in Irish songs and stories. They arrived at about the same time in the land of the free and were married in New York State, later moving westward and settling near Ada, Michigan. It was here that John Edward O'Donnell was born, February 28, 1S66. His early years were spent in tilling the soil at such times as he was not attending the public school in Ada. He then attended the Grand Rapids High School and, believing his business education incomplete, he became a student in a business college at the same place. From 18.S6 until 1S99 Mr. O'Donnell engaged in the retail shoe busi- ness in Grand Kapids. In the latter year he joined the sales force of the National Cash Kegister Company of Dayton, Ohio, and was given the State of North Carolina as his territory. At that time the company, which has since achieved a world-wide reputation, was but little known in this State, and to Mr. O'Donnell was assigned the task of introducing their product in North Carolina. How well he has made good can easily be appreciated by the fact that since his occupation of the terri- tory he has in one year sold over one hundred thousand dollars worth of cash registers. This concern manufactures ninety per cent of the cash registers used throughout the world and has steadily grown from one small building into a plant covering many acres and furnishing employment to thousands of people. The local office, of which Mr. O'Donnell is at the head, has grown with the industry, and now has a force of eight salesmen covering sixty counties. The National Cash Register Company was not alone in its good foi-- tune when J. E. O'Donnell joined its ranks, for by so doing he became a citizen of Raleigh and mie of whom this city and State may be justly proud. Mr. O'Donnell is, in its strictest sense, an apostle of the simple life. He gets the utmost enjoyment out of his familj' associations and spends much of his leisure time in their midst. He enjoys outdoor sports, especially horse-racing and baseball, and is also an ardent devotee of Nimrod. He loves nature and owns a farm near Grand Kapids, which lie often visits. In July, 1900, Mr. OT)oniiell was married to Miss Queenie Winn, of Grand Rapids. They have two sons, John Burke and Hubert Hay- wood, and three daughters. Misses Margaret, Kathleen and Dorothy O'Donnell. WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH ..'?'#''^^^^&--- -m: mM Expounding on the merits of the "National" WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH FAB P.

Mr. Douglass, who lias not yet attained his 27th birthday, is known as one of the brightest and most thorough students of law among the younger members of the legal fraternity of Raleigh, with the ])r()s- pect of a life of great usefulness to the city, the State, and himself. Clyde Augustus Douglass was born at Carthage, North Carolina, De- cember 23, 1889, tiie son of William C. and Josie (Tysor) Douglass. When he was six years of age he moved with his parents to this city where he attended the public schools and the Raleigh Male Academy. Inheriting a love for the law from his father, he entered the law dejjart- ment of the University of North Carolina, from which he graduated in 1010. He was admitted to tlie bar in Pebruary, 1911, and at once be- came associated witli hi.s falher under the firm name of Douglass & Douglass.

Mr. Douglass is a member of the State Legislature, having been elected for the term of 1915 and 1916. In the 1915 session of the General Assembly he was a cous])icuons member of the Hou.se of Representatives, serving as Chairman of the Committee on ('orporations, besides being a member of a number of othci- important committees. He attracted con- siderable favorable attention by his o])position to the bill allowing women to serve as notaries public. The bill wa.s passed by one vote, the count .standing 52 votes for and 51 against the mea!sure. In the first instance of a woman being appointed a notary public, a test case was made in which the State Supreme Court ruled the law unconstitutional, thereby upholding his contention. Mr. Douglass is a member of the North Carolina Bar ^Association, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Royal Arcanum and of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce. He is affiliated with the First Baptist Church. As diversions, he is fond of baseball, hunting and fishing.

HAROLD GLASCOCK On June 27, 1!)()4, a young juiin sU'pped from a train onto Ralcigli soil for the first time. He was from Missouri and was seeking a loca- tion in North Carolina with a "show me" attitude, which is said to be an attribute of the people of that State. So well was he shown that Dr. Harold Glascock decided that the evidence was all in favor of Raleigh and immediately opened an office here for tlie practice of osteopathy. One of the pioneers in osteoi)athic practice in Xortii Carolina, Dr. Glascock was the first prominent member of that i)iofession in Raleigh. He was at first handica|)]>('d by traditional prejudice, but by his sincerity of purpose, thorough skill, and charming personality stirmoiuited all obstacles until now liis name is known tln'oughout tlie State as a leader in his profession. Dr. Glascock was born neai' Hannibal, Mis.souri. May 14, ISSO. Hi attended the public and high scliool of Hannibal before entering the American Scliool of Osteopathy at Kirksvillc, Missouri. In 1910 he entered the Chicago College of Medicine, from which he gradiuited in 1913, thus giving him the degree of M.D as well as D.O. During the past three years he has specialized in surgery, a science in which he has a State-wide reputation. Dr. Glascock was one of the founders and charter members of the North Carolina Osteopathic Society, an organization which he has served as President. He is also a member of the American Osteopathic Association. It was in a great measure due to his enthusiasm that the bill recognizing the practice of osteopathy in North Carolina was passed by the Legislature in 1907. Prior to that time there was no legal recognition of the profession, although osteopathy had been practiced in this State for a number of years. Dr. Glascock has the honor of having been a member of the first State Board of Examination and Registration in Osteopathy. One of the greatest achievements in Dr. Glascock's career was the founding of the Mary Elizabeth Hospital of Raleigh. This institution, of which he is Chief Surgeon, does credit to the city as well as to the surgical profession. Dr. Glascock was married June 2.">th, 190,s, to Miss Jessie Lee May- hugh, of Rotliville, Missouri. They have two sons: Harold W. and Spencer Brown. In his religious afHliations Dr. Glascock is a Methodist and a member of the Edenton Street Methodist Church. He is a member of the Masonic Order and a Past Master of Raleigh Lodge No. 500. During the twelve years in which he has made this city his home he has evinced a decided spirit of progressiveness and has taken great interest in all things pertaining to the civic welfare. WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH Friend of the weak — helper of the sick WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH J. W. WEAVER C'oMHiN'i.\(i LiTEKAKV iiiid (■(iniiin'i'cial genius willi uiccliaiiicul abilily, J. VV.

Although dobn Willis Weaver can trace his ancestry back to Scliatf- hausen, Switzerland, and can point to the oi'iginal jjapers signed by William Pcnn granting a tract of the "garden s])ot" in Lancaster county, Pa., to his ancestor Hans Weber (being translated, John Weaver), "the emigrant," eight generations back, he chose Gloucester county, \'a., as a better plaeeto be born, March 31, 1870. He was educated at Summerville Academy and at Squires English and Classical School in Ricliuiond, where he also studied art, under Miss Beruice Knott. In order that the mechanical part of his edu- cation be not neglected he took a course in mechanical engineering with Scranton College, of Scranton, Pa. His first work was with the Richmond Cliriaiicni Ailrocide and he was later connected with the mechanical departments of the Richmond Times, the Baltimore Ameri- can and Whittet A: Shepjicrson, of Richmond, Va. Mr. Weaver came to Raleigh in 1905, buying a half interest in a small plant, which was incor])orated two years later as the Commercial Print- ing Company. Under his skillful guidance the company has risen in size and importance to a place among the leading printing establish- ments of the South, and has turned out 'some excellent specimens of the printer's art, "Who's Who in Raleigh" being an example. Possessing decided literary talent and inclinations, Mr. Weaver has been a fre- quent contributor to magazines jiublishcd in the interest of better print- ing, and has devised numerous efficiency schemes, charts and labor saving methods of determining costs in manufacturing printing. With him the pi-inting art is not solely a commercial proposition, the success of which can be measured in dollars and cents, but the means of realizing a highei' ambition. As a member of the Chand)er of Commerce, in the Business Council of which he represents the ])rinting industry, and the Rotary Club, Mr. Weaver has taken a dee]) intei-est in all uuitters [jcrtaining to the gi'owth of Raleigh in municipal aiul commercial lines, thereby making his choice of this cit,y as his business s])here very fortunate foi' his adopted home as well as for him. He is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America and the Royal Arcanum and is a Methodist. Mr. Weaver was married to Miss Jeannette Virginia Xash, of Rich- mond, \'a., in 1S91, and after her death to Miss Mary Burch Wing- field, of Charlottesville, Va., in A])ril, llMl. By his first uuirriage he lias one daughter, Mrs. R. N. W\Tine, of Raleigh, and one son, John Willis Weaver, dr. He and bis present wife are the ]iarents of one son, John Christian Weaver. WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH Printer, friend, man WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH A. C. HINTON "Apparkl oi't' rKoci.Ai.Ms THK MAX." siiid Williuui Shakespeare hun- dreds of years ago, and he must have known whereof he spoke, for his as- sertion has been repeated thousands of times. In fact, that is putting it too mildly, for in Kaleigh alone the expression has been used more than that by A. C. liinton. Being engaged in the nierchaut tailoring busi- ness he also knows what he is talking about and can cite proof witiiout end to u]>hold his eontentiou. Granting the remark is true, it follows that Mr. Hinton is "some" iiroelaimer, since he has been furnishing fastidious youths and their more dignified sires with outer garment's for many years, lie is ]H'culiarly adapted to his business in that he is a lover of the refined and an excellent judge of styles. With him the fitting of men's garments is not only a business, but a pleasure and an artistic achievement, the accoinplishinent of which is accompanied by a feeling of sartorial triumph. An evidence of the appreciation of his efforts to projjerly and fashionably clothe Raleigh's citizens is the fact that he is North Carolimi's foremost tailor, turning out more clothes each season than any other in the State. .\ddison Caswell Hinton, was liorn A|)ril i;]tli, isy.j, in Chatham county, tlie son of John Langdoii and Jose])hine (Johnson) Hinton. He was left an ori)han early in life, his mother having died when he was but a few weeks old, and his father following her within a few years. Young Hinton spent most of his early boyhood at Eagle Kock, Wake county, where he attended the public and private schools. At seventeen years of age he selected Raleigh as the scene of his life-long operations, and in casting about for a vocation recalled Shakespeare's words of wisdom regarding num's apparel. He decided that any subject worthy of notice by the bard of Avon would also interest him, and therefore entered a men's clothing establishment where for twenty years he de- voted himself to that trade. In 1902 he determined to go into the tailoring business for himself, and sincei that time has, by unfailing courtesy, fair dealings, and exact- ness as to detail, built up a clientage surpassed by few like establish- ments in the South. Mr. Hinton was married to Miss Bessie Seawell, of this city, in 1890. They have two daughters; Mrs. John D. Coo])er, Jr., of Henderson, North Carolina, and Mrs. Thad S. Page, of Washington, D. C, and three sons; Richard, Jack and Andrew Hinton. Although his business is one that requires close attention and necessi- tates his spending much time indoors, Mr. Hinton is greatly interested in all forms of outdoor sports, especially baseball and football. He is also a devotee of wrestling and is a frequent attendant at contests of that character. However he ])Uts tailoring above all else, and is never so happy as when quoting Shakesj)eare on the necessity of being well dressed. WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH -and Bill Shakespeare was right 16 WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH FIRE CHIEF CHAS. D. FARMER A DKscKXDANT OF firc-figlitcrs Oil botli tile iiaternal and maternal side of his family, there is little wonder that Charles I). Farmer deeided to become a fireman almost as soon as he was able to distinguish the sound of a fire alarm. He realized his ambition in 1904 when he became a volunteer in I he IJaleigli Hook and Ladder Company. One year later he joined the Capital Hose ( 'nni|iany, of which organization he remained a member until becoming an official of the Fire Dejiarfment. In 1907 he was Captain of tlie Capiliil Hose Company's racing team, which won the first prize at the Firemen'.s Tournament at Wilmington. In 1912 he was elected to serve as Assistant Chief, and later in the same year, when the paid Fire Department was organized, he was elected Assistant Chief. In August, 1914, he was made Chief of the department. Chief Farmer was born in Raleigh, February 13, 1882, the son of John Thomas and Eachae] Ann (Keuster) Farmer. His father was for many years a member of the Rescue Steamer Company, while his grand- father, Charles Keuster, saw service with the Raleigh Hook and Ladder Company 50 years ago. With this fire fighting heritage and an experi- ence of 12 years in every position of the Raleigh Fire Department, the present Chief is every inch a fireman. He is attentive to duty, alert to the possibilities of his department and strict in the enforcement of discipline among its members. Chief Farmer is at the head of the best equipped fire deiiartment in the State, and one that compares favorably with that of any city in the country according to population. The de]iMrtiiiciit numbers 2S men and has four motor-driven trucks. During his regime there have been only two coiifiagrations of conse- quence in this city. In each the flames were aided by a strong wind and it was only by valiant work on the part of the fire department that the flames were cheeked before many other buildings were destroyed. The Raleigh Fire Department works not only in the interest of fire protection but also fire prevention, there being a rigid inspection of the fire district of the city every 30 days. A member of the department is on night duty in every hotel in order that the patrons may have the very best protection. Chief Farmer was married in August, 1905, to Miss Ada Virginia Wrenn of Goldsboro. They have one daughter. Miss Louise Elizabeth Farmer. Chief Farmer is a member of the J. 0. U. A. M., and the B. P. O. Elks. In addition to his love of fire fighting he is very much interested in baseball and in fact all outdoor sports. However, nothing enthuses him as does the heritage that has made him above all else a fireman. WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH A fighter of fires — a modest man WHO'S WHO IN RALEIGH T. O. LEAVISTER Pko.mIiXext ajioxg the young business men i)f lialeigh is one who came here at the age of three years and has since been proud to ehiini the Capital City as his home. Thomas Otho Leavister was born Septem- ber 16, 1884, at Franklinton, Xorth Carolina. He attended the public schools of Raleigh before deciding to take up pharmacy as a profession, his first experience in that business being at Louisburg. He also served in the drug business in Kaleigh and Greensboro before being licensed to practice by the North Carolina State Board of Pharmacy in 1!)0.'). Following that he was engaged in llic drug business at Pinehurst, Xorth Carolina, for one year. During the next four years Mr. Leavister was connected with John Wyctli and Brother, pharmacuetical chemists, of Philadelphia, as a traveling representative. With this firm, wliidi has a national reputation, he covered the State of North Carolina and the western part of Pennsylvania. In 1910 Mr. Leavister retired from the road and opened Leavisicr's Drug Store on Xorlh Person street, where he remained in business four years. In .hdy. 1014, lie purcha.sed the Cajiitol Drug Store, on the corner of Salisbury and Ilillsboro streets, from the late Pohert Simjjson. its founder. In this location, which had been a ])harmacy for many years, Mr. Leavister, by business-like methods and unfailing courtesy, has established an up-to-date and profitable business. Thoroughly versed in his profession both he and liis store have the confidence of the people of Raleigh. As a sequel to his year's stay at Pinehurst, Mr. Leavister was mar- ried in April, 1900, to Miss Caroline Damond, of New Hampshire, whom lie met during his stay at Nortli Carolina's famous winter resort. They have three children: Miss Ruth Elizabeth, Thomas Arthur and Percy Isaac. While at Pinehurst Mr. Leavister became a golf enthusiast, and while business cares have prevented liiin devoting mucli time to that sport for several years he nevertheless still takes great interest in the pastime. Mr. Leavister is very fond of making trips to northern points analian.
