had furnished those hills prosperity
and peace and hlled them With happy
homes. He held the ecbi0n in his
hand. And the towns and the homes
and the contented people nestled
confidently therein
Now the hand that has guided the

But the works Of the man live behind
him; and glancing up from the green
wooded hills Of AlaInance. the big.
brick chimneys viii stand as monu-
mente; and the biack smoke that pours
from their throaes will 90 up as in-
/ cense from a people who remember
| their employer, not as master, but as
d friend,
1t was novel, an interesting, a
pathetic sight when the long line of
| carriages that followed the remains Of
| Ex-Governor Holt commenced to arrive
at the little brick church. in the car
riages were men Of prominence; men
who had known and beeQ associated
with the dead statesman in public and
social life; who had come some of
them, out OF mere regard for the mem-
orY of so distinguished a North Caro-
linian.
But the more striking portion Of the
throng were those who are employed
in the factories one saw over there on
the hills; the people of the county side
the keepers of the small stores, who
had shut mp shop; the very plough
boys and the colored laborers Of the
rocky farms around about.
1t was an inspiring sight to watch
these people, drawn together not by
curiosity, but by the heart that was IN
thenl-a common desire to do rever-
ence to u man who had been all kind
ness. and a friend to them ALL They
were a happy, a prosperous looking
set of factory folks, with the Joy they
felt in living expressed on their faces,
even with the look of aWed sorrow that
showed in every pair Of eyes. There were
old, white haired, venerable men who
knew and had worked for the governor
from boyhood; there were strapping
young fellows, bright Of eye and strong
Of figure; there were sweet faced girls
who looked as though fresh air and eX-
ercise could never. change the bloom on
their cheeks to the sallow look too
often to be seen on the face Of the
working woman
And ii all illustrated the kindness,
the humanity in the nature OF this
whole souled man whose death the
people mourned.
A little after noon the crowds that
stood about the strongly built, simple
Presbyterian church turned 70 face
the funeral cortege that came vending
its way TO Graham from that dear
Haw River home the spot around
which the whole affections of Gov
ernor Holt clustered, to which he clung
and which he beautifiad: IN which he
gave up the struggle at last, and died
calmly with his children about him
