Union county is watching with inter- 8 est the career of Solicitor Otts of , 1< Spartanburg. (But in reality of Pea Ridge, for he was born in this county, 1< reared here, and made his political de- " but here, first as a Legislator and r later as a delegate to the Constitu- p tional Convention.) His work as a c Solicitor and as a Legislator from t both Union and Cherokee counties is c well known. a But there may be people here in Un- I ion county who do not know the man- f ner of boy he was. As I recall him a he was a slender, freckled face, dark ] haired boy, who never had any time t to sow "Wild Oats" He never in- c dulged in any of the common sports i so called, except base ball, the military (he was captain of the Pea Ridge > Rifles) and the country debating so- j cieties. He never drank, was always a t teetotaller, but he would fight if i necessary. He was ambitious. He j led and never followed. At school he always led his classes, although he had to drop out to work on the farm during crop time. He entered politics as a delegate to the famous March f convention of 1890, which nominated Tillman for Governor. From that . time on he was a factor in Union ^ county politics until he moved to i Gaffney. His father died when he was six ' years of age, and he grew up on a small farm, inherited by his mother from the estate of her father, Rev. ( James Gault, a local methodist min- , ister. The farm was small (not over , a hundred acres) but his mother was { a woman of unusual intelligence, force < of character and business ability. His father was a college graduate and of an intellectual family. Rev. J. M P. Otts, for many years pastor of the i John Wannamaker church, in Phila- s delphia, Pa., was his father's elder ' brother. But much of Mr. Ott',s pluck ' will power and indefatigable energy \ was undoubtedly inherited from his mother. Until Solicitor Otts was eleven years of age tne little farm 1 was plowed by hired hands, superintended by his mother and her sister, ^ where they made a support for the family. But at the age of eleven young Otts was the only plough hand on the farm (for it was only a one-horse farm) and he never missed ploughing A a crop until he was a lawyer. 'When about seventeen years of age, he worked one summer and .made a kiln of brick. This was his first lattincss j, venture ,and its purpose wasjM^vn I money for a year at colleo-e.'flB^Ra a money was needed for the necttlitifc8 of the family. However this did not deter him from his purpose of being a lawyer. He had planned to go to the bar at twenty-one, but he was needed at home, and deferred until after he had served a term as Legislator from Union county. His education was secured at home and in the "Old Field Schools" of Union county, but he was a hard student and burned "Midnight Oil." The work and struggles of Solicitor Otts would read more like a romance than real cold facts, but you will only hear it from his friends and not himself. Self reliant, with indomitable energy and a confidence born of achievement he will never ask support on sentimental grounds. Tnis is campaign year and the voters will be familiar with the * "Poor Boys" from the farm, etc. They will hear of ploughing, hoeing, cutting logs, etc. But not from Mr .Otts. He has measured strength with such men and with men having college degrees on equal term and is not a man ( to ask favors. p He was a model farmer, and when ? he announced that he would practice law many of his friends thought he g was making a mistake, but he made a good from the beginning of his prac- r tice. When he determined to .move to c Spartanburg, many of his Gaffney ^ friends thought he was making a mis- 1 take, laying down an established practice in a county where he was re- q garded well as a lawyer, to go to a i new field to build up a new practice, but those who knew him best were 1 sure ne would maKe pood and have * a larger success in a broader field. He is a man of strong and posi- ? tive character. He will make his 1 murk any where. As a boy he was * a boy of promise, we all so regarded ^ him. none of us are surprised at his p success; and we will be disappointed r if he does not go higher as an official, * and become better known as a lawyer. * He is tolerant of the views of others, <j but he is manly enough to claim and f enforce the same toleration for his $ own views from others. His training ^ has made him tolerate. He is always readv to listen to' ?nv one. ?nrl to weigh his arguments, but he reserves. 1 the right to draw his own conclusion. Mr. Otts has none of the narrowness of many self-educated men. His hab- ] its of study have become a second nature with him. He has a fine private library which he has used to good purpose. Few men of his age are better read along lines of political economy, * Kuvciiuiicia! onu Miiureu Huujecis. ill# law library is regarded by lawyers a? * one of the largest and best selected collections of law books in the state. If there is one thing he is sensitive ipon it is: To be called a politician, le will not stifle his conscience, or ail to take his position. While in Unon recently a friend went to him, and aid: "Look here, you can get the otes of a certain family if you will et them think you are a certain way ?you need not say anything-;?just :eep quiet." With scorn he replied: Would y.ou be willing to vote for a nan who would secure votes by false iretenses? Would you not hare a ontempt for me if I did? Do you hink I have become a cheap politiian?" I saw the party soon after tnd he told me what Mr. Otts -said. ie replied: i Know oih, i win voie or him I don't cane what he thinks ,8 to that matter. I know he is honest, ! know he will carry out the law, and hat there are not enough devils unchained to make him deviate from vhat he conceives to be his duty." I agree with that man, and that is vhy I am writing this. It needs to be >ublished, such men are too few, at his time when so many men are sur-endering everything for place and >ower.
