conduct of these enterprises. lie is
an affable, kind hearted, jovial gem
tleman, and with his charming young
wife, who is the daughter of eX-Gov-
ernor Jones, of Alabama, adds much to
the social life of Haw River.
The youngest son of Ex-Governor
Holt, Mr.. r. NJ. Holt, Jr.. has not yet
finished his education. lie is a young
man Of fine promise and presence, and
is destined to become a successful
manufacturer, following in the foot
steps Of his father and grand father.
Mr.. y. w. Haywood, vice-president
Of the Thos. NJ. Holt Manufacturing
Company. second vice-presdeut Of the
Granite Manufacturing Company, and
secretary OF the Cora Manufacturing
Company, is widely known through
out the State and has host Of friends
He has been actively connected with
the cotton mill industry less than
year, but for years his interest in the
mills located at Haw River gradually
encroached so much on his time that
few months ago he decided to give
up the law and move to Haw River to
devote all his time to the manufacture
of cotton goods. He did not do this
without a struggle, Tor he had built
up a large practice which was growing
and had won a prominent place in the
Raleigh bar, one of the strongest in
the State.
Mr.. Haywood has had the best train
ing for a successful business career.
Before studying law he held position
in the Citizens National bank in Raj
eigh, and much of his practice had to
do with matters requiring business
ability of high order. He is a careful
and accurate man of affairs, full of in
dustry, wide information, reader and
assimulator of the best in literature,
an honorable and upright gentleman,
and an honor to any calling or profess
sion. May %, 1883, he married Miss
Daisy Holt, daughter of Ex-Governor
Holt, and at their home in Haw River.

Flour Mills in 1871, thereby acquiring
the entire Haw River property, includ-
ing all the water-poWer and a large
area Of adjacent land. He continued
running the -four mills, and the flour
made here has had wide and enviable
reputation. A few years ago the new
roller process was added and the mills
are now run day and night to supply
the demand for its popular product
making and selling forty to fifty bar
rels of -four a day.
In 1871 Governor Holt put the first
looms in the Granite Mills and began
making the Granite sheetings and
plaids. These goods were sold to
country merchants tributary TO the
mills, and acquired a reputation for
their durability and smooth finish
Less than one hundred looms were EN-
ployed in their manufacture. Now III

ZOO spindles and nearly 900 ioons
are making plaidS, cheviots, cotton
AIDES suitings and sheetings. and when
the Cora Mills are completed the spin
dies will be increased TO 5000 and the
looms to $50; and instead of the trade
being confined to local home mer-
chants, they are sold all over the
world, and the demand for them at
home and abroad is annually increas-
ing.
The plants at Haw River, \. C., are
owned by Gov. Holt and his children
sons-in-law and Mr.. Robertson. The
latter owning some stock in two OF
them. None OF his brothers have any
interest in them. The stockholders
are Governor Holt, Chas. +. Holt, Mrs

source then stood for itself. Mr.. Ed
win NJ. Holt built an unpretentious
wooden mill, plain, perhaps unpaint-
ed and worked with his own hands
at every part of the business. Two
things, all the Hollis have inherited
from him Willingness to do
work of all kinds, knowing that
all labor is honorable; 2. Depending
upon their right arm, and their IN
dividual resources and labor, the
Hollis have usually built their facto-
ries without partnership or incorpora-
ton, or if incorporated they have
usually owned virtually all the stock.
They have been willing to plan, to
work, to make, but they have not
generally sought partnerships or bus
mess associates outside their own
families, though they take stock in
other enterprises. 1t is very seldom
that family hands down its business
from father to son for three or four
generations. 1t is too often the case
that the son wants to follow some
other business than that of his father
That is the rule, and the business the
father built up goes into the hands
of strangers. There are comparative
~ few families even in the United
States that have transmitted the love
and power Of success in the same cal
ling TO successive generations Of the
same family. The Adams family, the
Bayards, the Freylinghuysons are
notable exceptions. In North Carolina

Thomas NJ. Holt has been a busy

his county, his State and his country.
Some years ago Editor Caldwell, or
the Charlotte Observer, paid the fol
lowing deserved compliment to Gov.
Holt:

Holt made it, and yet it is not on his

ertson the position he occupies to-day
in the management of the mills at Haw
River. His work has been done with
greater alacrity perhaps because he
knew that it was appreciated by the
big-hearted man for whom he toiled.
Substantial evidences Of this apprecia-
tion came to him without reserve or
delay. Mr.. Robertson began at Haw
River as a clerk in the Office, and, to
make a long story short, he is now
shareholder in the Granite Manufac-
turing Company, and its treasurer; he
is largely interested in the ownership
of the Il. NJ. Holt Manufacturing Com
pany, and is secretary and treasurer
of this great enterprise. He is a share
holder in the new Cora Manufacturing
Company, and the treasurer of the
company. He is easily among the
leading men in the State, and he has
made himself so.
Mr.. c. p. Albright came to Haw
River also eighteen years ago, about
the same time Mr. Robertson came.
Mr.. Albright has that in him that
makes merchants out of men-pa-
thence, energy, honesty, activity. These
have made a merchant out Of Mr.. AL
bright. He has for years been the sole
manager Of the mercantile department
at Haw River. He enjoys the implicit
confidence OF Governor Holt and all
his business associates. and his worth
as man and a merchant is known and
appreciated,
On the return Of Governor Holt from
Buffalo Lithia Springs ian September
last, he celebrated his return by bring
ing with him and presenting to Messrs.
Robertson and Albright each a hand
some gold watch. This generous and
thoughtful act is only one Of the many
evidences that he has shown OF his
appreciation. Acts like these Hwseteu
labor and impel men who arc reR to
still greater achievements.
The great Industries at IIaw River
have been built upon the btesath of
thought, the good Judgment. the wise
foresight, the liberal spirit. the kind
the sturdy physique and
strict integrity of a man, who at NO
time, has forgotten or lost sight of any
