FINE CIGARS AND TOBACCOS. POOL ROOMS IN CONNECTION JAMES B. DUKE Tells the Secret ot His Success Learn to Love Your Business, Says This Masterof the Tobacco Industry Find Your Highest Enjoyment in the Task Itself No One Who Works Along This Line Can Fail Wonder ful Success of Son of North Carolina Farmer, Who Was Impoverished by Civil War. James Creelniau ia the Xew York World. "The one straight road to success is to learn to love your business," said James Huchanan Duke, as 1 sat with liiin a few da3'.s ago. "A man must love his business betterthan lie loves anything else if he would make suc cess sure. Jt is the true, the only way. Wo employ more than 100,000 persons in our vast tobacco business ami as the director of this force I never fail to observe that the man who works only because lie is paid to work has no chance in competition witii the man who works because he would sooner do that than anything else. It is the practical secret of suc cess. This tobacco business is my pastime as well as my duty. I never lish or hunt. Those things mean hard work, and there isn't as much fun in them as there is in busi ness." There is the utterance of a man who, at the age of !( years, stands at 1 he head of the mighty Tobacco Trust, a multi-millionaire and cap tain of industry, whose power is felt hi many lands besides his own. '"A man can do best that which he loves best. If he has started ia a business which he cannot learn to love, then he should go into some other business, lb; will never succeed in this age of compet it ion unless he can liml real pleasure in his work. The making of money is not a suffi ciont incentive, lie must find his higher enjoyment" in t lit? task itself. No man who works along that line can fail. That is my judgment, based on my own experience and my obser vation." in these times of gigantic amalga mation of industries only four men have been found thus far with brains big enough to keep themselves and their en mil Honed combinations ahead of all competition from within or without, all public opposition, all private rivalry. There are great bankers, financiers, promoters, but only four giants in the actual world of industry and commerce four in comparable, creative manufacturers and merchants: John 1). Rockefeller Oil. A n d re w Ca r n eg ie S t eel . 11. O. Ilavemeyer Sugar. .James 15. Duke Tobacco. The youngest of these is least known to the public, and yet he is in many respects the most wonderful figure of the four. Air. Duke is a man of burly phys ique. 1 1 is -head and face and thick-set figure remind one of the typical York shire farmer. His English ancestry shows strongly in his body and his mind. The large head, broad, full brow, straight nose, long upper lip, good natured mouth; round, fresh colored face;' steady, shrewd blue eyes; powerful neck, deep chest and muscular hands it is easy to find that sturdy, hearty type in the smocks of agricultural England. He talks in simple phrases and is abso lutely devoid of vanity in dress or in manner, the plainest and most direct man imaginable. UK WORKS TKN HOURS A DAY. This master of men and affairs works 10 hours a day regularly. The fact that he owns tens of millions of dollars and has armies of assistants upon w hom he can lay the burden of the work makes no difference. He has made of the tobacco business an avo cation as well as a vocation. It is when he speaks of business conquests that one can see the tire less brain flashing in his blue eyes, and it is not hard to believe that the love of his work has ma le him what he is. "Another important thing which a young American should remember is that he is living in a country whose great prosperity is due to industry and commerce organized on a larger scale than the world has ever seen before," said Mr. Duke. If he starts in ti small business and has a chance of getting into a large business he should abandon all foolish ideas about fighting against business con cent nit ion, seize his opportunity and try to work his way to the top of the larger system. And he must never for a moment forget that competi tion can never be destroyed, that monopoly is an unsound business idea. We spent something like $17, 000,000 last year in advertising and promoting new business. Monopo lists doiTt have to do that sort of thing." It is said of Mr. Duke that when he was eight years old he watched a hen sitting on some duck eggs. When the unborn ducklings began to peck through their shells the impatient Imh- l onld not wait for the slow nro- - " ... - i cess of nature, but broke the shells with his own hands and drew forth the inmates. That has been ehar- acteristic of his whole life. He will : not wait for events to occur. He makes them occur. He opposes his will nower to the accidents of for tune. Ilard work is better than good luck. i SOX OF A rOOR FARMER. ' Mr. Duke was born on a farm near Durham. X. V.. in 1857. His father. Washington Duke, was a struggling firmer with three sons ana one daughter. The future president of the Tobacco Trust was the youngest of the fainilv. When the Civil War broke out the farmer found himself in an embarrassinsr position, lie be lieved in the Union and was opposed to secession, but his State was in it-ma mid. in snite of his svniDathies and convictions, he was forced by circumstances to serve in the Confed- ' erate navy. After the war Mr. Duke started a primitive tobacco factory in a little barn. His sons went to the nearest country school, which was oj)en for only three months in the year. Dur ing the rest of the time they worked on the farm or helped in the rude lit tle barn-factory. This was the early life of James Buchanan Duke. When he was six teen years old his father offered to send him to college. Now mark his attitude and choice at the critical point in his formative young man hood: "Give me an interest in your busi ness, father," he said. "I'd sooner have that than go to college." Was it a desire to make money, a natural love for work or a disinclina tion toward a supposed effeminacy and unprofitable idleness in college life that inspired the young man's decision? Nevertheless, the decision was made, and Washington Duke gave a one-sixth interest in his busi ness to each of his two sons. The third son was otherwise engaged and therefore, received no share. By this time the tobacco business had been moved from the first barn to i small wooden factory. James Duke stayed in the factory and at tended to the making and paekingof smoking and chewing tobacco, while his brother, B. N. Duke, now treas urer of tne American Tobacco Com pany, went on the road and pro moted stiles. Gradually James be came the real head of the firm. In 1871 the Duke factory was built. In lHHl Washington Duke retired from business. Now the power of the man who di rects an industry involving $125, 000,000 a year and employs 100,000 persons in manufacturing 800,000, 00O pounds a year, began to show itself. His capacity for work was amazing. Work was his pastime. He turned his back on all else. In l.SH.'l W. Duke & Sons had a business of about 200,000 a vear, and a total capital of $700,000. In '.SO Mr. Duke had turned the $700,000 into $7.."00,000 by sheer devotion to the tobacco trade. For the first 10 years of Duke's Mixture, a cheap and popular form of smoking tobacco, the firm lost money on it. Mr. Duke tried every known form of advertising in vain. But he would not give it up. Last year the sales of Duke's Mixture amounted to one-fifth of all the smoking tobacco used in America. He brought the Durham factory to such i state of perfection that to bacco still in the hogsheads could be manufactured, bagged, labeled and delivered on the car within 80 min utes. MASTER OF THE INDUSTRY. The tobacco industry was scatter ed and without system. Mr. Duke concentrated himself on cigarettes and smoking tobacco. By 1889 he had an annual business of $4,500,- 000. In that year alone he spent $800,000 in advertising. He came to New York in 1884. His first at tempt to consolidate the tobacco trade was through an interview with Mr. tiinter, of Allen & umter. Mr. (linter treated him with scorn. "I don't recognize you even as a competitor, he said. But the time was soon to come when Air. Duke was recognized. In 1885) Mr. Duke merged his own vast interests with those of Allen & (linter, the Kinney Tobacco Com pany, Goodwin & Company, and W. S. Kimball & Company. This was the formation of the American To bacco Company, with a capital stock of $25,000,000, of which Mr. Duke's firm got $7,500,000. A vear before this .Mr. Duke had in troduced American cigarettes in Japan. The Japanese put a heavy duty on imported cigarettes and be gan to manufacture them from Amer ican tobacco themselves, ihe Murai brothers were in control. But in 1 85)8 Mr. Duke made arrangements to build cigarette factories in Japan. The Murai brothers surrendered to him and gave the American Tobacco Company 00 per cent, of their stock. The Tobticco Trust now sells 8,000,- J 000,000 cigarettes annually in Japan . This consumes 10,000,000 pounds of j leaf tobacco and yields $1,000,000 a year to the farmers of North Caro- linn. The Tobacco Trust also sells 1,500,000.000 American cigarettes', il l 1 t ' in i nma a .year, wmcn pays .fuun,- 000 to the North Carolina leaf growers. The magnitude of the for eign trade in American cigarettes ninv be appreciated when it is known that 0,000,000,000 American cigar ettes, requiring 20,000,000 pounds of North Carolina tobacco, were sold in England last year, and that the North Carolina farmers got $3,500, 000 from that source aloffe. One American combination after another surrendered to Mr. puke, until the Tobacco Trust now includes fourteen or fifteen corporations and has nearlv sixtv factories, which turn out' annually 300,000,000 pounds of cigarettes, cigars, smoking and plug tobacco and snuff. The in crease in the sale of snuff alone in the United States was more than 2,000, 000 last year. So tremendous and far-reaching is the power of the industrial organiza tion created by Mr. Duke that even in England, with an import duty of 40 cents a thousand on cigarettes to firotect the English manufacturers, ie forced terms from his unwilling rivals. The Imperial Tobacco Com pany had a capital o, $70,000,000; it had control of the cigarette trade in England; it had the tariff and pub lic sentiment in its favor. Mr. Duke went to London and by the daring of his methods and the stress of his energy he compelled the Imperial To bacco Company to surrender to him $11,000,000 in stock and cash. Mr. Duke is recognized today all over the world as the master of the tobacco industry. And this at the age of 40 years. This is the man who says that the only road to success is the actual love of work. It does not sound much like a secret when you come to think of it. The u u DRINK EUVITA, THE BEST DRINK ON EARTH.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch hav ing said that it had its doubts about the Ogden movement at first, fearing that its design was "to push the ne gro forward," but that it is now "satisfied that there is no harm in I it," the Charleston Xews and Courier observes that nevertheless "it is re-' markable that those who are direct- ' ing the movement are those who have j largely participated in the mission ary work of New England fanatics in this part of the country, and that their duet distinction in educational : work has been obtained through the association which t hey have had with 'n'" cuuLaiiuimi enterprises. At goes on to refer to the gentlemen as sociated with this movement who sa t down with negroes at the dinner of the Unitarian Club of New York last week, and after speaking of Mr. Page as "a very charming man and one of the most distinguished lights in the literary firmament," says: "Another of the workers in the Ogden movement at this dinner was Mr. William H. Baldwin, of the Long Island Railroad Comnanv. and form erly of the Southern Railway. Mr. iMiiuwin torn m his speech about how four negro students of Tuskegee School had stopped at his house on their way to West Africa, and Mr. Baldwin regards Booker Washington with the same sort of feelinc: aDnar- ently as he would regard the head of any white institution of learning in the South; indeed, with even a more intimate feeling of fellowship. ui course we do not make any protest against the company that Mr. rage and Mr. Baldwin may keen. That is their affair entirely, and if they like it they are welcome to it; but we sometimes suspect that those who differ so radically from the pre vailing sentiment of the Southern w hite people as to the relations which i should exist between the races are not best qualified to lead in an edu cational movement, or in any other movement, as a matter of fact, in the South." As for Mr. Baldwin, his fondness for the negro was quite well known in these parts when he was general man ager of the Southern Railway, and in quite a notable case of adifhculty be tween o.ie of his conductors and an insolent negro passenger he took the part of the negro and suspended the conductor. But the social equality idea ad vanced by some, as an objection to this "movement," has never im pressed us until now. That about it which we have resented is that a lot of Northern "philanthropists" should invade the ignorant, barbarian South with an educational propaganda, and out of their abounding charity pro pose to roll back the cloud of ignor ance from a benighted people and shed upon them the light of knowl edge and introduce them to the ben efits of civilization. We have quite readily admitted our poverty and ignorance and acknowledged that there is not much left to us except our spirit of manly independence. we nave insisted that this be lett with us; that it fie not sapped by our being made the objects of charity, and that the South be left to work out for itself its problem of ignorance. those of us who can read and write pledging ourselves to do our best to help those of our blood and section to the acquirement of these accom plishmentsholding, further, that there are worse things, even, than ignorance, one of these being to learn to hold out the hand for beneficencies to strangers to whom we owe noth ing and of whom we ask no odds. This sounds ungracious; of course it does; but this is just the way The Observer feels about this business and it had as well out with it. If our Charleston contemporary and those who think with it that there isanoth er meaning behind the "movement," are right, then there is another rea son for resisting the encroachment. Upon either proposition we are op posed to it whether as a bestowal of largesses or as an instance of the coming of Greeks bearing gifts. n . Good for Children.

Parker. n rx I A 1 Matter of Business. Fannville (Va ) Herald. The Ministerial Union,of Richmond, have been making mistakes of late, the last one against them being when they appointed a committee to visit the newspaper omces of lucumond and request "that church notices should be published free." To this the Richmond Times-Dispatch makes the following good replv : "The advertising columns of a news paper are its stock in trade, assurelv eo as the goods upon the shelves of the merchant. If some member of the Ministerial Union had offered a reso lution to appoint a committee to visit any of the Richmond jtores and re quest that goods belumished to the churches free of charge, the resolution would not have been seriously con sidered. Yet there is no difference in principle between making such a re quest of a merchant and making a request of a newspaper to print ad vertisements without charge." Those same ministers wouldn't go to a drv goods store to ask for a yard of cloth or to a groceryman for a pound of sugar free of cost, and why ask a newspaper for space in its columns from which it gets its very life? Think again, brother, and you won't. The church of Christ isn't a pension er and wasn't commissioned to go about asking alms. The great Com mission reads in this wise: "Go ye into all the world and preach the gos pel, and lo, I am with you always?" Be true to that and the world will pay willing tribute, and crown the great head of the church "Lord of all." Too Great a Risk. A reliable remedy for bowel complaints should always be kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone too take. Chamber Iain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy never fails and when reduced with water is pleasant to take. For sale at Parker's Two Drug Stores. Mr. Justice Pritchard. Washington Post. We think that Washington will cor dially approve the president's ap pointment of Ex-Senator J. C. Pritch ard of North Carolina to the su preme bench of the district, This gentleman is eminently qualified for the duties of the position. He is still young not yet fifty; he is strong, self-contained, sourageous, robust of mind and body, profoundly versed in public affairs, and a lawyer of high and broad attainment. lie is well known in this community, having served eight years in the Senate and he possesses the respect and confi dence of all with whom he has come in contact. We do not believe the president could have made a selec tion more satisfactory from every point of view. Mr. Pritchard is no courtier, no crawling time-server. He is a big, strong man, with ideas all his own, and the courage of their declaration. president this country ever possessed, and said he never knew of one who seemed more anxious for the religious good of the students. "Whenever one matriculated," he said, "he would ask him about his re ligious status, and would then fur nish the pastors of the town with lists of the students to look after. Then he'd stir us up, too, saying, 'Does my 3Toung friend Brown or Smith attend your church? 1 wish you'd look him up.' And we didn't dare not to doit. Wefeltthat 'Marse Robert's' eye was on us. I hope that there was a higher motive, too, but his influence was very potent. To Rev. Dr. Kirkpatrick, professor of moral philosophy, he said once w ith tears in his eyes: 'Oh, Doctor, if I cpuld only be satisfied that all these young men were good Christians, I'd have nothing more to desire.' " LEFT NO LAST WOIillS. Dr. Jones spoke touchingly of Gen eral Lee's death. "He left no 'last words,'" he said. "He had presided at a meet ing of the vestry of his church that day, when there was an important question of raising money for some purpose. He was one of the most liberal contribu tors to the cause of lienevolence 1 ever knew, and he had given almost too much already. On this occasion $67 was needed to make up a required sum. He said 'I'll give the balance.' He went home a little lateforsupper, and was about to ask a blessing when he was stricken witli paralysis, and lay most of the time unconscious till his death. But no 'last words' were needed. His whole life was a living epistle, known and read of all men. "it may be that there are some old Confederates here,'.said Dr. Jones in conclusion. "Hail, comrades! You followed 'Marse Robert' wherever he needed you. You were his followers in those days. Be ye followers of him, even as he was of Christ. God help you to do so, old comrades. You and I are not here for much longer. We are going to step out of ranks soon. Are you ready? God bless you and grant that j-ou may be as faith ful servants of the cross as of your countrv." There were a number of ex-Confed erates in the congregation, and at the conclusion of the sermon they clustered around the preaeher and many heartv greetings were ex changed.

William Jones, His Former Chaplain, Pays Tribute to Beloved Chieftain in a Sermon Preached in Baltimore Even In Announcing His Victories Gen. Lee Evinced Reliance Upon God Interesting Reminis cences of His Later Life as College President Left No "Last Words." Baltimore Sun. March HOth. Rev. J. William Jones, of Richmond, secretarj1 of the Confederate Memorial Association, paid a tender and elo quent tribute to General Lee in a ser mon on " The Religious Character of Robert E. Iee," at North Avenue Baptist Church last night. Dr. Jones was a personal friend of General Iee, having come in contact with him many times during the war, and be ing chaplain at Washington College (now Washington ami Ijeo Universi ty). Iexington, Va., during General Lee's presidency of that institution. Dr. Jones gave many incidents of the piety and deeply religious character of the great Confederate leader. The sermon was preceded by the singing of "How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord." Dr. Jones mentioned that this hymn was a fa vorite both of General Iiee and Gen eral Jackson and was sung at the funerals of the two soldiers. Dr. Jones took as his text Acts xi, 21: "For he was a good man and full of the Holv Ghost and of faith." "It would not lie appropriate to use this language oi many oi me world's public men, and especially of the soldiers, he said, "nut I am here to declare w ith emphasis that it may well be said of thegreatmanof whom ! 1 am to speak. Robert Edward 1h; was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. From Harjier's Ferrv to Appomattox I followed his standard and learned his Christian character, but especially during the last five years of his life, as president of Washington College, did he show those qualities that proved him greater in peace than in war." FIRST TALK ON HKLUilOX. Dr. Jones told of the first time he came in close enough contact wun General Lee to talk of religious mat ters. With Rev. B. T. Lacy, chap lain at the headquarters of General Jackson, he had been appointed by the Chaplains Association to ask General lee to order a suspension of Sunday drills so far as possible. Dr. Jones spoke of the delicate courtesy with which they had own received. "Next dav," he said, "the General issued a beautiful order enjoining that nothing should be done on Sun day by men or horses that was not necessary for the sustenance or safety of the army, and that all officers should impress upon the men the duty of Christian observance of the dav." On leaving the General Rev. Mr. Lacy told him how warm a place he held in the hearts of the chaplains and of the many prayers offered for him. 'Please thank them for that," said the General. "I am but a poor sin ner, trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, and need all their prayers." "General ljee was one oi the most trustful men in God's providence 1 ever saw, saiu ur. Jones, "ins love of the Scriptures and devotion to the study of God's Word were beautiful. The day after his death I sat by his body, counting it a privilege to be a watcher there, and I picked up a Bible from the table. On the flyleaf were the words, 'R. E. Lee, lieutenant- colonel U. S. A.' I opened it and saw- that the passages marked were the more tender ones concerning person a l salvat ion and the help to be found in God's Word. I thought how the old book had influenced him in lieing the man he was. In the army he was a daily reader and student of theScrip tures, even in his most active cam paigns, and w hen he came to the col lege he did everything in his power to promote its study, becom ing pres ident of the Rockbridge Bible Society. In a letter to Hon. Bcresford Hope, of England, who, with others, had sent him a Rible, he said: 'It is the book compared to which, in 1113' view, all others are of minor importance, and in all rny perplexities, it has nev er failed to give ine light.' To me he said once: " "Tliere are things in that book that I may not Ik, able to explain, but I believe them with all my heart and accept them as the inspired word of God.' A MAX OF IMtAYEH. 'General I? was a man of prayer. He always had family prayers at home and while president of Wash ington College was never absent from prayers in the chajiel unless away from the town or toosicktoattend Dr. Jones told of an incident at Mine Run in November, 104, when M-ade had crossed the river and Lee moved out to meet Jiini. With lien A. P. Hill, Is was riding in t he rear of the lines when he came to one of the prayer meetings which were hld so often when a battle was imminent. "He reined up Traveler,' said the doctor, "and when those humble sol diers arose from their knees they found they had been leading the de votions of their commander-in-chief." Dr. Jones spoke of the pious tone of General Lee's disuatches. In an nouncing the victory of Cold Harbor, he began: "Profoundly grateful to Almighty God for the signal victory granted'us." After the seven days around Richmond he began his dis patch: "Profoundly grateful to the Giver of all victories." After Chan cellorsville it was: "We haveagjiinto thank Almighty God for a signal vic- torv." "He was quiet and not in the habit of pushing himselt forward, said vr. Jones, "but we chaplains found that we had a friend at headquarters. Dr. Jones exnressed the belief that General Lee was the greatest college Bad Taste in the Mouth When you get up in the morn ing with a coated tongue and a bad taste in the mouth, you may or may not be seriously ill, but if there is any disease going, you will catch it. Hven though you " catch" no definite disease, you, are likely to be worse before you arc better unless you attend to yourself. We know what you think first you are half persuaded to try Vinol, and then you say to your self: "That's the same story all the medicines tell ; we've heard it before." Hut Vinol is not like other medicines. If it were, wc shouldn't be talking about it. Vinol is not a secret medicine. Any doctor will tell you that cod liver oil (the principal ingredi ent in Vinol), has been the recog nized standard tonic and body builder for three hundred years, and would be to-day except that the old kind tastes so bad folks won't and can't take it. Vinol is made by a remarkable chemical process which cuts out the grease and bad taste and leaves all the medicinal qualities of cod liver oil intensified. Wc will pay back your money if it doesn't help you. Parker's 2 Drug Stores. Dr. A. S. PDLTOrS, Physician and Surgeon, IILWDLTISOX, N.C. Office: : Over W. S. Parker & Co's. Phone, No. 74.
