Educated by private tutors, and after attending Shelton College, St. Albans, he began teaching school at the age of 16.  He later studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1880, settling in Charleston shortly afterwards, and becoming associated with John E. Kenna, U.S. Senator form West Virginia, who served from 1883 to 1893.  He later became a member of Chilton, MacCorkle and Chilton, involved himself with Democratic politics, and attained recognition as an able leader in public affairs.  He was appointed prosecuting attorney in 1883, was admitted to the Supreme Court in 1891, was chairman of the Democratic State Executive Committee in 1892, Secretary of State from 1893 to 1897, and United States Senator from 1911 to 1917.  He was recognized as an orator and writer of unusual power and force.  After a defeated nomination to the United State Senate in 1924, he retired from his law practice and concerned himself with the editorship of the Charleston Gazette.
