THE "CITIZEN" CHANGES MAN AGEMENT. H Col. Cameron Retires. f Some days ago it was announced that the "owners of The Citizen" had sold the paper, name, good will, etc., to Mr. Fuller, of Brockton, Mass. Yesterday Col. John D. Cameron announced his retirement, and that The (Citizen hence forth would be conducted and controlled by other parties. The Citizen also an nounced a "change in the ownership" and management, but did not mention who the new owner is, or who the new editor is, or is to be. . ! - It stated The Citysen would be issued hereafter as an afternoon paper, ! and that it would remain Democratic in politics I We deeply regret the ; retirement of Col. Cameron. We regard it as a, great loss, in all respects. Without a peer as An editorial writer in North Carolina, his talents, his fidelity, his earnest and honest zeal for the good of his native State and adopted section have made for him not only ah enviable hut a loveable name among North Carolinians. While his napie, appeared at the head of a paper as its editor, Democracy, the true interests of the white people of the South, had no fears. . No papercOuld call itself "Democrat" under his man agement and not be Democratic; it could not call itself "Democratic" and oppose Democratic nominees of a regu lar Democratic convention! We welcome the new owners of The Citizen, as we do all gentlemen who come to be of and with us. The present owner ot The Citizen is said to be a He publican in politics, but his assurance that The Citizen shall remain "Demo cratic in politics" we take to mean that it will stand by Democratic organization in this section, and support Democratic nominees and Democratic policy as de clared by National, State and district conventions. : ! M French Broad Baptist Church.! 1 1 wish to make public announcement of the tact that 1 have to-daj paid! off the last dollar of indebtedness incurred in the construction of this! church build ing. The entire property! has cost us about G,70U. "When the work was un dertaken there was but a weak, infant organization to sustain it in the face of a. very peculiar and bitter opposition Kind friends extended a helping hand, however, in our time of need, and now that a signal success has been achieved, we wish to return them our hearty and sincere thanks. Their names have all been preserved, with the amount given, and this little book will be cherished long as a memento of their sympathy and generous aid in the heroic struggle to give our little church a local habita tion. Of course we invite everybody, without distinction, to our pretty house of worship: but we should extend a special welcome at all times to those ; , friends who contributed so gracefully to its erection, and devoutly pray upon theih the richest blessings of heaven. I wish also to make grateful acknowledge ment of the fact that Capt. M. E. Carter, of whom we bought our lot, is kindly preparing the papers giving us an addi- tional strip of ten feet of ground along bur back line. The Lord reward him and all the rest of our friends. j i M J. L. Carroll, Pastor. I Asheville, March 3,1890.

B. Duke. Vervifew of the voung men of North Carolina have achieved anything like the distinction in the business world won by J. B. Duke, son of Washington Duke and member of the firm of W. Duke Sons & Co. Not many years ago father loves to call him, "Buck," as his broke the shell and planted himself down in the city of New York, determined right there in the greatest commercial and money centre of the continent to make all cigarette concerns take off their bats to W. Duke Sons &Co. Upward and onward he went. The country boy was as much at home in the great metropolis, driving his business with all the artful management that in dustry land genius couldjcontrol and de vise, as; if he had never j been out of the great city. All who know him and come in contact with him admit that he has phenomenal business and commercial gifts, j j j The American Tobacco Company, the wealthiest and greatest corporation of its kind in; the world, is organizdd with a capital pi $25,000,000. Mr. J. B. Duke is the president of the company.
