The ballot was then taken and twenty-nine of the thir- ty-two votes were cast for me, and while the ballot was being counted two more justices took their seats and asked that their ballots be counted for me. The office was for four years. I gave bond and immediately en- tered into office. Bro. Thompson, in his brighter and better days, would not have made the speech he did before that court; but there was some foundation for what he said about the wine, a thimble full would soon master my tongu...e, and a decayed apple would make me drunk, a glass of lemonade dashed with port wine would soon put me to bed, but I was in no sense of the term an intemperate drinker, and very seldom took a drink of wine. I have often said that I could make more reputation for drinking on a quart of wine than most men could on a bar- rel of whisky. For many years I have not touched a drop — have been president of the State Temperance organiza- tion four terms, and have materially aided in the accom- plishment of a vast and beneficent work in Arkansas on that line, and that work is the pride of my life.
