the direction of total abstinence, and, in fact, but very few were total ab- stainers. MT. Holt had a weakness in that direction that would at times overcome him, and some of his friends felt that when he decided to move to Hartford that it would be his ruin, but He who watches over the falling of even of the sparrow over. ruled it for his salvation. I had it from his own lips in after years how, when he left Wilmington. he went with the determination to go to his ruin and it did seem so for time. He moved to Hartford about 1841 or and in the early forties the great Washjngtonian Temperance movement began, and the rescue of Alva Holt was one of the results of their work in Hartford. The story of his rescue, as he used to relate 1t in his efforts to rescue others, was a story of intense interest How they found him in the street of Hartford in a half in- toxicated condition and got him in to one of their meetings and induced him to sign the pledge, and how they went with him to his home and how he, with his wife there, pledged them before God, and how he vowed that he would never take another drop of liquor even to save his life, and that his wife promised that she would never give it to him even at the prescription of a physician. From that time MT. Holt became an active worker in that great reform, and fo1 several years was the worthy presi. dent of She Conrectiout Temperance Union. He was a close friend of Capt. Sharp and'in later years a fre- quent visitor, and I became very we'll acquainted with him and his story of some years after he became a worker in the great reform that put him to the test that he used to relate in his addresses. He was taken suddenly seriously i'll. The family physician was out of the city and another was called. and he said you must have some brandy. MT. Holt replied, ''I will not take it " The doctor said, "Then you will die '' "Then I will die sober.'' was Mir. Holt's reply, for if take brandy I shall surely die drunk '' The family physician soon returned and he advised the same treatment, with the same reply. They then tried percussion on Mrs. Holt and she refused, and the doctors urged so ttrenuously that Mrs. Holt was compelled t1 tell them that she should bs obliged to call some other doctor. The result was a prescription that the daughter carried to 8 druggist and obtained 1t, with the result that MT. Holt recovered and for many years used the story to enforce his argu- ments in favor of total abstinence
 MT. Holt, as recall him, was 8 man of fine physique, rather tall and good proportion, weighing near two hun dred pounds, and was a ready speaker, and could tell good story W tn good feet.

The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1911-10-27

The Legislature has been called
together in special session by Gov.
Noel, and the solons will assemble
in Jackson on November LIST. The
purpose of the call session. is to
protect the States credit by paying
the accrued interest due on the late
bond sale, the State Treasurer hav-
ing refused to pay same on demand
of the bond purchasers some time
ago. Besides the payment OF the
interest due, the Legislature will be
asked to appropriate the necessary
money to pay the National Guard
for strike duty. The Governor did
the proper thing in calling the law
makers together, and it is their duty
to pay the interest due the bond
holders promptly, adjourn and re.
turn home. The question of the
cost of the holding the special ses
sion should not be considered. The
States honor and credit is at stake
and should be protected.

Governor. Elect Says The Best farm lantS
h, World Here.

New York, Oct. 2l.-FreeIy admitting
that Mississippi is the finest state in
the Union and declaring hat he is
proud to be a publicity promoter for
her g~lories, Earl Brewer, Governor
elect of the Magnolia state, now in this
city on his way to Boston, tonight en-
dorsed the "back to the farm propa-
ganda and averred that the be
farms" to which one could return were
the cotton plantations of his own state.
Mr.. Brewer predicts a glowing agri-
cultural and commercial future for his
state, avowing that now, for the first
time, the state of which he will be chief
executive is awake ning to it's possibili-
ties.
"Within the last few MONTHS" the
n o reject said, "ffty-thousana
acres of the finest land in the delta, as
the Yazoo valley is known, have been
purchased by cotton spinners from Eng
land and Holland. l received word
today from thesagent for. q big Dutch
firm that he had just closed by tele-
graph a deal to buy another plantation
of fourteen-thousand acres.
"'We have combed the earth with a
fine tooth comb he said to me-" added
Mr.. Brewer, "in an effort to find some
place where we could produce long
staple cotton in competition with the
Yazoo delta, but we have decided it is
in the delta that Providence intended it
should best be grown. There soil and
climate seem perfect"
Himself a cotton grower, MIR, Brewer
is on his way s to confer with
friends about more extended cultiva.
tion OF long staple cotton as distin'
guished from the short staple variety
in Mississippi.
