Abstract:

In this continuing series on North Carolina's Governors, Abernethy recounts the career of Cameron Morrison, who was a successful politician, public servant, lawyer and farmer. He was elected Governor in 1920 and among his accomplishments were prison reform, the good roads program, and the adoption of the county-wide school plan. He later filled out the unexpired term of U.S. Senator Lee Overman, but was defeated in Democratic primary in 1932 in a bid for a full term.
