He edited a newspaper in Freestone County, was county marshal and later county judge of Tyler County, Texas in 1894. He served as district attorney of the first judicial district of Texas from 1898-1900.
Dies moved to Beaumont, Texas in 1902 and was employed as counsel for the Gulf Refining Co. He was elected as a Democrat to the Sixty-first and to the four succeeding Congresses (March 4, 1909 – March 3, 1919). He served as chairman of the Committee on Railways and Canals (Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth Congresses).
In Roman mythologyDies ("day") was the personification of day, and the Roman counterpart of the Greek goddess Hemera, the daughter of Nox (Night) and Scotus (Darkness).
She is the goddess of the daytime and, according to Hesiod, the daughter of Erebus and Nyx (the goddess of night). Hemera is remarked upon in Cicero's De Natura Deorum, where it is logically determined that Dies (Hemera) must be a god, if Uranus is a god. The poet Bacchylides states that Nyx and Chronos are the parents, but Hyginus in his preface to the Fabulae mentions Chaos as the mother/father and Nyx as her sister.
She was the female counterpart of her brother and consort, Aether (Light), but neither of them figured actively in myth or cult. Hyginus lists their children as Uranus, Gaia, and Thalassa (the primordial sea goddess), while Hesiod only lists Thalassa as their child.
Porter and Showbread also started "Raw Rock Missions," an organization designed to provide food and shelter for orphans and children with special needs.
Biography
In 1997, Porter began working with brother Patrick Porter creating and evolving the band Showbread, which became a full-time international touring act in 2002.
In 2004, following several independent albums, Showbread released No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical, featuring music and lyrics written by Porter, and arranged and completed by him and his band mates. No Sir... expectantly failed to achieve commercial success. However, it was rewarded by Revolver Magazine to be the best Screamo album of the year, and Showbread’s already respectable and rabid fan base was propelled by the thousands.

He joined the California Air National Guard in 1980, became a commissioned officer in 1981, and was a Captain at the time of his death at age 35.
Dean Paul was piloting an F-4 Phantom when he crashed into the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California at 400 mph. Both he and his weapons officer, Ramon Ortiz (age 39), died instantly at the moment of impact.
Dean Paul married twice and had one son, Alexander Martin, who was 12 when he went to see his father off on the day of his last flight. His funeral took place before his remains were found. His father had said that if anybody could survive a crash like that, it was Dino Junior; Dean Martin was present as the funeral but is not shown in this clip.
Dean Paul is buried in the Los Angeles National Cemetery. His death in 1987 was something that Dean Senior never recovered from, and he was never the same. Many say that the loss of Dean's most beloved son was the beginning of the end; he died on Christmas Day 1995 at 3:30 AM from acute respiratory failure.

Martin Luther King Sr
born Michael King in Stockbridge, Georgia, King was a member of the Baptist Church and decided to become a preacher after being inspired by ministers who were prepared to stand up for racial equality.
King completed his high school education at Bryant Preparatory School, and began to preach in several black churches in Atlanta. In 1926, King started his ministerial degree at the Morehouse School of Religion. On Thanksgiving Day in 1926, after eight years of courtship, he married Alberta in the Ebenezer Church.
The couple had three children in four years: a daughter, Willie Christine King, Martin Luther King Jr,and a second son, Alfred Daniel Williams King.
King became leader of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in March 1931. With the country in the midst of the Great Depression, church finances were struggling, but King organized membership and fundraising drives that restored these to health.
By 1934, King had become a widely respected leader of the local church. That year, he also changed his name (and that of his eldest son) from Michael King to Martin Luther King after a period of gradual transition on his own part.
King was the pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church for four decades, wielding great influence in the black community and earning some degree of respect from the white community.
King was a major figure in the Civil Rights Movement in Georgia, where he rose to become the head of the NAACP in Atlanta and the Civic and Political League. He led the fight for equal teachers' salaries in Atlanta. He also played an instrumental role in ending Jim Crow laws in the state. King had refused to ride on Atlanta's bus system since the 1920s after a vicious attack on black passengers with no action against those responsible. King stressed the need for an educated, politically active black ministry.
In October 1960, when King Jr. was arrested at a peaceful sit-in in Atlanta, Robert F. Kennedy, brother and aide to the Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kennedy, telephoned the judge and helped secure his release. Although King Sr. had previously opposed John Kennedy because he was a Catholic, he expressed his appreciation for these calls and switched his support to Kennedy. Until this time, King Sr. had been a lifelong registered Republican, and had endorsed Republican Richard Nixon before switching to endorse Kennedy.
In 1969, King was one of several members of the Morehouse College board of trustees held hostage on the campus by a group of students demanding reform in the school's curriculum and governance. One of the students was Samuel L. Jackson, who was suspended for his actions. Jackson subsequently became an actor and Academy Award nominee.
King died of a heart attack at the Crawford W. Long Hospital in Atlanta on November 11, 1984, at age 84.
