He then studied law at the University of S. C., where he graduated, was admitted to the bar, and located for the practice of law in Saluda in 1915. Shortly after coming to Saluda, he served one term as mayor of the town and one term as State Senator of the coun ty, but for the past 16 years he has devoted himself exclusively to the practice of his profession and look ing after his farming operations, although he makes no claim of be ing a pretentious farmer. By hard work and fair dealing in the court room he has become a leading member of our bar, well learned in the law, and a strong advocate before a jury. For the past several years he has been retained either in the defense or for the'prosecu tion of nearly every homicide case tried in this county.
