Lucian C. Watts High Sheriff of Albemarle
County.
In the person of Lucian C. Watts,
High Sheriff of Albemarle County, we
have a most efficient and fearless officer
and worthy representative of the law.
His official and private life is clean and
honorable and he possesses in a high
degree those qualities that go to make
up a successful and satisfactory public
official. By reason of the responsible
duties devolving upon him as Sheriff,
Mr. Watts has a deep knowledge and
wide experience of men and affairs.
His record is free from objectionable
acts, and when his term of office expires
he is eligible and most worthy
of reelection purely on the ground of
honorable and efficient service aside
from any other consideration. He
has proved himself one of our progressive
and valuable citizens, and is a
man who is held in high esteem by our
very best citizens. Sheriff Watts is a
native of Albemarle County and
throughout his life has been a recognized
[ILLUSTRATION]
leader among men. For many
years he served as Deputy Sheriff under
Sheriff Teel, and in 1887 was electen
to his present office by a flattering
majority. This position he has faithfully
filled ever since and no storm of
rain, hail or sleet has ever been too
severe to detain him when duty called
for his service in any section of the
County. Mr. Watts is an enthusiastic
and ardent horseman and is noted
as one of the most expert and experienced
trainers of saddle horses in Virginia.
Mr. Watts resides at Stony
Point, twelve miles from Charlotteville,
where he is the owner of a beautiful
home and farm, and one that is well
becoming and suitable for the sterling
character and American that he is. He
is also the owner of many valuable
blooded horses.
Nothing makes people hate you more
than for you to get along better than
they do.
