county, Virginia. He attributes his success in life to the care of a pious mother and to the help of a devoted Chris¬ tian wife. Soon after his marriage he settled upon a plantation in Johnson county, and in 1878 located at Grandview,Texas. In 1883 he entered the United States mail service as postmaster. In 1885 he was appointed United States postoffice inspector, and at the expiration of a year advanced to the position of inspector of the Texas division. In June of that year he was appointed chief clerk in the office of the State Commissioner of Ag¬ riculture, and on promotion of Commissioner Foster to the Railroad Commission, he became Commissioner of Agriculture, Insurance, Statistics and History. Mr. Hollingsworth’s previous training has especially fitted him for the duties of the enlarged sphere to which he was now advanced. The first year of his administra¬ tion was noted for unusual occurrences in the insurance world, covering as it did the examination of the affairs of the New York Insurance Company, the most important ever made in this country, and his zeal and fidelity were duly appreciated by the members of the company. Now another “special examination” of the company has been determined upon, and he has been selected, with six other commissioners, to conduct it. This is a great compli¬ ment to the State and the department over which he pre¬ sides. By reason of his position, he is ex-officio member of the Board of Directors of the Agricultural and Mechani¬ cal College and the Prairie View State Normal School.
