THE M ONROE JOURNAL. VOLUME XII. NO 16 MONROE, N.C., TUESDAY MAY 23 1903 One Dollar a Year Washington Duke's Own Story jf His Life. The recent death of the venerable Washington Duke has caused flood of newspaper article, speeches, and evea sermons on hi remarkable career. But none of them are ao intereatinf at Mr. Duke's own simple story as he pre pared it several Tear ago for a special edition of the Kaleigh New and Observer. It is as follows: "1 began life in Orange as a roan try boy with nothing. I never inherited a dollar. I'p to the breaking out of the war 1 bad been farming thirty years. 1 bad worked hard in the fields, wade on the farm nearly everything I needed, and by close economy I had bought aud paid for my farm and had stocked it well. This was the re sult of the savings of thirty years of hard work and close economy, and it was made on an Orange coauty farm. In those days money was made very slowly, aud only made at all by close economy. "I made only one crop ol cotton which I sold at five and a half a hundred. This crop didu't pay, and I never made another. At that time calico was selling at from 15 to 25 cents a yard, and iron for farming implements brought 8 cents a pound. I went into making to bacco in 1K59 and 186U We knew nothing then of the preseut meth ods of curing, and my crops were suu cured. The first year the crop was wonderfully fine, and was sold for between 8 aud 10 cents a pound. "Before the war I hauled fodder and (lour to Kaleigh on wagons, once I remember through mud that came up in some places to the axles of the wagon wheels, aud again through the rain aud snow. I slept in camps or in the wagons more than euce when the snow was ou the ground. The fodder would bring me tU) cents a hundred, aud the Hour fi.50 a barrel. Tinits were much harder then than they are now, and it was much more difficult for farmers to make mouey. Farmers handled very little cash. What they raised on their farms sold for lew, aud what they bought cost more than now. "The ruling price for eggs was from S to 7 cents per down; butter was 12 cents a pound; chickens bronght from 7 to 10 cents. I have already said that calico sold from 15 to 23 oento a yard aud iron for 8 cents a pound. "The price of other things the farmer had to bny was in propor tion. "About the time the war broke out I hsd made np my miud to quit farming aud go to manufacturing tobacco. In carrying out this reso lution in 186.1, I sold everything, even my horses, stock aud crops, aud agreed to take pay for them in tobacco, I even traded my plan tation, agreeing to take pay in to bacco to be delivered yearly for six years, but afterwards had to take it back. Home of my friends thought I was very murine. I bad quite a quantity of tobacco stored away, aud when the armies came aloug they took most of it. "When the war was over I found myself at Newbern, after being re leased from Llbby prison, with one five-dollar Confederate note, sold that to a Federal soldier for 60 cents, aud walked home, 134 miles, to my farm near Durham. I said to my boys, when I got home: The war is over. For people who will do their duty aud stick to their business, there never was a better opportunity in the world for men to make their fortunes.' My idea was then that there was noth ing that could bring money iuto this country but cotton ana to one co. I planted a tobacco crop and began to manufacture, in a log hut about 16x18, such tobacco as I ac cumulated during the war that the soldiers bad not carried off. We mads it ourselves (my three boys working with me) on rainy days when we could not work on the farm. Some of this tobacco I took to Durham (hauling it about three miles from the farm to the factory) and got Capfc Ward, who was then partner in John K. ureen s lac tory, and had it put np into plug tobacco.

"I have never done boainess any year in which I did not feel mysell better off at the close than at the heginuiug. Profits have grown larger aud larger, but at tbe Una some of it came very slow.

Most of it whs sold to the merchants iu the small tow us and villages. Wilson whs one of tuy let points, and I sold quantities there, one of my best customers being the Kouutree firm. I knew the members of that firm well, and my dealiuga with them were pleasaut and profitable all around. My son Buck was with me; be was then a little bit of a fellow, just big enough to put a bridle ou a home. "My farm whs two and one-half to three miles from Dnrhum. I ran the farm and manufactured to bacco at odd times. Everything was done by hand. We beat the tobacco np with sticks by band when it was dry, and then run It through a fine wire seive. With the help of my boys we could put up 400 to 600 pounds per day. In 1800 we made laMn) pounds and got 50 to 00 cents a pound, and bad to pay about 20 cents a pound rev enue tax. "Home of the farmers who had gone to manufacturing tobacco be came offended at the iniosition of a tax which they did not approve, and quit tbe business for that rea son. Uf course, this made it bet ter for those that remained in it We called our tobacco 'Pro Bono Publico.' "Our business increased yearly, nutil in 187:1 1 decided to move to Durham. We had already bad to enlarge twice. Our first building was a log hut 10x18; we then built a bigger bouse 20x30, and soon the business ontgrew that, aud we nuu to build a third time on the farm place. Having to haul everything to aud from Durham was very iu convenient, and I went to Durham and bought a lot at the sale of the estate of John It Green, aud, by a swaD with the widow, got the .... . m ground on which the preseut lac tory is located. I paid fr00 an acre for it aud it was all in one field. A few years ago, when I built my new home, I bought one- half an acre from Mrs. ureen ad joining my first purchase, aud I bad to pay at the rate ol t,uw au acre for it "As soon as I bought this lot in 1873, I put up a wooden factory that cost 1,500. It is still stand ing in the rear of the present brick factory. Tbe last year we inanu factored in the couutry we made between 100,000 and 125,000 pounds of smoking tobacco. "Awhile after coming to Dur ham, I took in as equal partners in the business my sons Ben and Buck, and gave theiu tbe money to become equal partners with me in tbe business. Ben was then about nineteen aud Buck atxut seventeen, and the firm was V . Duke & Hons.

During these ten years 1 traveled over thirty-two States. "In March, 1878, the business of B. L. Duke, who was uauufactur ing the 'Duke of Durham,' was in oorporated Into ours, and Mr. Geo. W.

Hoch had been married to Mrs. Welcker only a short time when she took suddenly sick and died. He then formed au alliance witb the sister of the dead woman, and securing the sister's money, fled from Chicago. This Mra.

He was found two weeks later iu New York and brought back to Chicago, and con fessed when confronted by several alleged wives. During the trial exK'rt testimony was offered by the State that Hoch had poisoned the woman by administering arsenic. Today a verdict was reached lu less than half an hour. Three bal lots were taken.
