THE LATE THOMAS HOLT.

Minutes Adopted April 18th 1896, BY
Session of Graham Presbyterian
Church, in Memory of Thomas M,
Holt.
The session OF Graham church de-
sires to put on record its appreciation
OF the character and lfe-work of our
beloved brother. Thomas M Holt, who
was called to his reward Saturday,
April II, 1896, aged siXty-four years,
eight months and twenty-siX days.
Governor Holt was just man, who
feared God, and eschewed evil.
He was exemplary in all the relations
of life, devoted son, brother, hus-
band and father; a patriotic, manly
and philosophical citizen; a business
man of unbending integrity and OF
rare energy and sagacity; wise leg1s-
lator: faithful and honored ruler,
from the time he began to discharge
the duties of q country magistrate,
until he retired from the Guberna-
torial chair of the State, having filled
that responsible office with eminent
ability.
AS q Christian he was humble and
devout; a prayful and reyerent stu
dent of the word of God, regular in
his attendance upon the stated means
of grace; faithful in the discharge of
his duty as a ruling elder; loyal to the
truth of the gospel and the church
with which he was identified.
He abounded in good works, being
given to hospitality, and ever willing
to communicate" Few men, even OF
his large means, have done as much
good as he His end was peace. He
found comfort in the dark valley OF
the shadow of death" from the rod and
the staff of the Heavenly Shepherd,
May He who has said, LET all thy
widows trust in me" and whose
promises are both to the righteous and
their seed, bestow covenant mercies
in fullest measure upon the bereaved
household.
Resolved, That a page OF Qua minute
book be suitably inscribed i'm memory
of our deceased brother And copy
of this minute be furnished By our
clerk to the bereaved family, and
copies for publication to the Alamance
Cleaner, the Charlotte Observer, Raj

THINGS POLITICAL.

The Tredell county Republican con-
yenfien was held on Saturday, and is re-
ported as having gone into the Dockery
column.
The Republican County convention
Of Columbus instructed for Russell on
Monday, and on yesterday the conven-
tions Of Wayne and Craven did like
wise. This adds eight votes to Rus
sells strength, making a total OF AZ out
of - delegates elected up to this time,
said James I'll. Young last night.
1t is stated that the Dockery men
viii control the Sixth district conven-
ton at Maxton to-day, and that the
Meclxlenburg county delegation which
the Docl<eIy men claim represent only
a minority Of the Mecklenburg Repub-
Leans, and Loge Harris will find them
selves sitting on the fence when the
Docllery-Smith procession passes by.
Tt is reliably stated that the Bepub-
leans will nominate for Congress from
the Fourth district Patrick i. Massey,
of Johnston, who claims to be better
silver man than Shuford or almost
anybody that either the Populists or
the Democrats may nominate. Mas
sew is silver man from skull to
shoes declares one of his staunch
Raleigh friends
II. p. Axley, OF Murphy, who was the
first man to wear to Raleigh the famous
Hoola-Boom. Cherokee stove pipe hat,
is i'm the city. The famous hat is
held i'm Cherokee until the Legislature
meets, when it viii adorn the head of
the member from Cherokee. You
may put Cherokee down for Russell, =
said Mr. Axley, yesterday evening, as
her delegation has already been in
stlmcted.
Col. Harry Skinner declared before
his departure for Washington, that out
of all the Populists who attended the
meeting in Raleigh last week not one
even dreamed Of conceding the Govern
or to the Republicans. III this be true,
there would seem to be but little CON
ISOLATION for Dockery Russell or Boyd
in the promised Thompson
boiling circular. Indeed, Col. Skinner
declared himself that the proposed
statement Of his own and DR.. Thomp-
sons positions had ben enormously
magmified into q bolt. when it amount-
ed To only difference of opinion ais To
either side submitting or declining an
ultimatum prior to the assembling OF
the conventions. Col. Skinner and DIR,
Thompson opposed any action ait this
time.

~.wi1l not change the sitnation. / don't
know but one Democratic Attorney
west Of the ridge who Is a pronounced

paipn in Asheyille," said The Judge
''and The interest manifested has
spread out all over Buncombe ard
away cut into the other counties ID
